This band is all about saving the planet from environmental disaster. They are from France, if I recall correctly.




Edited to add lyrics:


Waters of chaos
Have invaded all space
The flood on earth again
I have to find the whales
That once did guide us
To dry lands of life
I won't despair
I'll break this dark all around.

Under the heavy sea
I'll search the flight of whales.

Beneath the seas I searched
And had a different view
Of us on earth:
The sinking ship of men
But it's beyond the stars
I found the place
Where they were
And they finally came to light.

Over the winds
They dwell in light
Like the arrow in the sky
I found myself on higher grounds
From up here
For I see them in flight.

Now I can see the whales
Looming out of the dark
Like arrows in the sky
I can't believe my eyes
But it's true.

Huge tunnel ends in light
Like banks of clouds they gather
See massive shape of flesh
Swimming giants in the clear
The mightiest comes to me
I'm on the wing, wide open
They teach me how to fly
Slowly moving in the air.

They dance.

So much told with no words at all
Powerful presence for only speech
Breath.

Over the winds
They dwell in light
Fly.

for the affections of a female. He breached his way across the Au Au Channel between Maui & Lanai. One of the most spectacular things I've ever seen.

Once I even saw two humpbacks breach together, veering off to opposite side when they fell back in the water. They can put on quite a show if they want to.
