Mars by Tally Schwenk, Mensing
The heartfelt appeal of a singer who doesn’t want to “live on Mars”.
This electro-pop gem tells the story of the consequences that will inevitably follow our actions (and inactivity) towards our planet. Supported by US NGO Climate Power & international environmental network Friends of the Earth, “Mars” will release on Earth Day together with a powerful & emotional music video.
"Mars" was influenced by climate change. The world is changing before our eyes, and I’ve realized that material things and petty arguments are not worth it. It calls on listeners to wake up and start caring about the world, because the only way to rectify the damage is to work together.” - Tally Schwenk
“This is a code red moment for humanity, and a code GREEN moment for climate solutions.” - Climate Power US
Tally’s songwriting (she’s written for J.Lo & Tank and the Bangas) shines on top of Mensing’s captivating production.

Lyrics
A typical Sunday
Summer turned Fall
I lay out and sunbathe
And stay up for the stars
I don’t believe one day
That God will respond
Before it’s too late
And we’re all up on Mars
I don’t want to live on Mars
I don’t want to be so far from home
So wherever you are
I can’t do this on my own
[If burning fossil fuels was so bad
That it threatened our very existence,
How could we just continue like before?
Why wasn't it made illegal?]
I wake up and I wonder
If this’ll be my last
Arguments with my lover
Put that shit in the past
The grass ain’t getting greener
We just get used to it
And if the world goes under
Guess I’ll go and pack my shit
I don’t want to live on Mars
I don’t want to be so far from home
So wherever you are
I can’t do this on my own
