	Story Behind the Song Happy Savage and Tom Constanten shared the stage at a small festival near Seattle in June 2002. Tom arrived in Seattle a few days early, and accepted an invitation to jam with Happy Savage at their rehearsal space. This recording is from that jam session. It begins with free improvisation (joined in progress on the recording) which evolves into a new version of the Happy Savage environmental anthem "Treehuggers". In this version you hear Tom Constanten playing the song as he hears it for the first time, and you also hear Bruce Johnston, who normally plays keys on this song, playing a guitar part for the first time. Later that week, Tom joined Happy Savage for their set at the Wild In The Woods 2002 festival. Lyrics Clearcuts by the side of the road Logging trucks with a heavy load How long can this go on? It's already been too long Treehuggers! Treehuggers! Have you hugged a tree today? They have lived for a thousand years My eyes are filled with tears How long is it gonna take Before the sleeping giant wakes Treehuggers! Go out and hug a tree We have seen the salmon go Go the way of the buffalo How long till the truth sinks in We're living deep in sin Treehuggers! I hugged a tree today
