feeling listless

Music Al Gore's documentary An Inconvenient Truth to become opera. This isn't as far fetched as it seems. I'd love to hear this direct quote from the opening monologue set to music:

"You look at that river gently flowing by. You notice the leaves rustling with the wind. You hear the birds; you hear the tree frogs. In the distance you hear a cow. You feel the grass. The mud gives a little bit on the river bank. It’s quiet; it’s peaceful. And all of a sudden, it’s a gear shift inside you. And it’s like taking a deep breath and going... 'Oh yeah, I forgot about this'."

That said, imagine the surtitles.
