    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
