After the previous two posts focused on songs about the Moon and Sun, it was time to get back down to Earth First up is a song from Milton Mapes. It is called " When the Earth's Last Picture is Painted" . In it we have a band (named after a real person who's not in the band) singing an original song (with chorus lyrics they didn't write). Singer/ guitarist Greg Vanderpool named the band after his maternal grandfather. The lyrics are lifted from a poem by Rudyard Kipling written in 1892.
Milton Mapes -When the Earth's Last Picture is Painted
This next song by Eric Goulden, is about how you may have to go to great lengths to find the one who was meant for you. Under his stage name Wreckless Eric he recorded 'Whole Wide World' back in 1977.
Built to Spill's contribution to this post doesn't include the Earth in the title but rather sheds light on a little known phenomenon that may or may not occur every thousand years. The song's title is 'Randy Describes Eternity'.
