A Review of "Black Coal Lung" by Gary Dranow and The Manic Emotions


Black Coal Lung by Gary Dranow and The Manic Emotions

Gary Dranow and The Manic Emotions latest release, "Black Coal Lung"  is a powerful song that shines a spotlight on the harsh realities faced by communities living in the shadow of environmental injustice. 


From the first notes, you're transported to a small town, where the presence of a coal power plant has cast a dark cloud over the lives of its residents. Can you imagine breathing in toxic air day after day, knowing it's slowly poisoning you and your loved ones?


The lyrics vividly paint a picture of the daily struggles faced by people. Fine particulates from the plant's stacks permeate the air, leading to a surge in respiratory illnesses like COPD, asthma, and cancer. The coal dust hangs heavy, making every breath a laborious task. 



Through poignant melodies and emotive lyrics, "Black Coal Lung" captures the desperation of a community trapped in a cycle of environmental degradation and economic hardship. This song is a rallying cry for change, a call to action to address the human cost of industrial pollution and the urgent need for systemic change to protect the health and well-being of vulnerable populations.


This song is more than just a commentary on environmental issues; it's a testament to the power of music to tell stories and evoke emotions.
