Take It Easy by Melissa Polinar

Singer/songwriter Melissa Polinar release her latest original song “Take It Easy.” The track has been brewing with her for awhile. Here’s more about the single:

I’ve had this melodic idea (verse/chorus) since August 2009 (said so according to Garageband). I guess I really do let things/ideas simmer, huh? Anyways, about the song… lyrically, they’re all my thoughts when I can’t sleep at night. It’s not a love song necessarily but my conversation with my dreams and where I want to be.

You can download “Take It Easy” below:

Lyrics to Take It Easy by Melissa Polinar

far, you’re just so far
but why do I feel you?
as though you’re sitting right next to me
but maybe I’m just trying to satisfy this compromise

and maybe while I play this guitar
you’ll show up in my view
telling me not to worry
then I wake up and find my way back to reality

I hear the clock, it’s ticking
late at night it’s teasing me – oooo
I can feel the pressure
seeping deep inside of me

Chorus:
take it easy
go right ahead & don’t forget to breathe
though it’s not all that perfect
it’s not always “make it or break it”
take it easy
go on ahead, don’t be afraid to feel
no, i don’t have all the answers
but as long as we’re together
i’m GOnna take it easy

what have I become?
am I still the same me?
Is this the place where I want to be?
Wherever I go I try to find a place –
a home for my heart’s rhythm

hear the clock, it’s tickin’
late at night it’s callin’ me – ooooh
I can see the future
that is where you’re taking me

bridge:
take my time, enjoy the ride (take it easy)
we’ll be fine, all will align – take it… take it… take it…

Endangered Javan Rhino caught on tape

Endangered Javan Rhino caught on tape

Deep in Indonesia’s Ujung Kulon National Park, motion-activated cameras have recorded two critically endangered Javan rhinoceroses with their calves. The footage is a huge boost to efforts to save this almost extinct species that is threatened by poaching, disease, and the possibility of a tsunami or volcanic eruption. Though the footage is “great news,” only 40 individuals remain—with none in captivity, conservationists say. This makes the Javan rhino possibly the rarest mammal on the planet.

Learn more about the species and donate directly to a WWF fund that will establish the conservation area and monitor the several individual rhinos that will populate it later this year. More info here.

Also endangered is the Japanese Giant Salamander

More about Javan Rhino
The Javan rhino is a dusky grey colour and has a single horn, about 25 cm; the skin has a number of loose folds giving the appearance of armour plating. This species is very similar in appearance to the closely-related Indian rhinoceros, but is slightly smaller, with a much smaller head and the skin folds less apparent than in the Indian rhino. Recent evidence suggests that the horn may be absent or very small in females. The upper lip is pointed and can be used to grasp food and bring it to the mouth.
