Earthsick
Earthsick is an album by American alternative hip hop sextet Subtle. It was released after the success of their first album A New White in the underground hip hop community.
It is a compilation of what the band considered to be the best of the four previously released Season EPs, which are now out of print. Tracks 11 through 14 are previously unreleased material from a winter solstice session recorded the following year and are, like the Winter EP, completely improvised with no overdubs.
Note from the band
In the liner notes of Earthsick a note issued by the band can be found, it says the following:
"Eathsick was recorded on many devices over the course of two years 2001 to 2003 by subtle in our bedrooms... on our rooftops... and so on... mixed on our computers...we took things from what we thought was wrong with the world, it being a sickness to live...these songs were released on the four season ep's along with their brother and sister songs which are now out of print..."

Earthsick
by: HoobastankRotate your point of view
concrete surrounds you
it used to be a field
with a tree where we all played
Suspend your disbelief
this world became of age
to the beautiful things
that flourished in your day
that's why i say...
[chorus]
stop, stop the world i said
stop stop, stop the world
because i wanna get off, wanna get off, wanna get off
it's making me earthsick
substitute what is now
for what had used to be
old or new, everybody's got to pick
it's making me insane
My head keeps spinning
progress is winning
i don't recognize the place
where i grew up
This is no fantasy
the ground beneath your feet
will soon be a store
with things that you don't need
that's why i plead...
[chorus]
Stop, stop the world i said
stop stop, stop the world
because i wanna get off, wanna get off, wanna get off
it's making me earthsick
Rotate your point of view
concrete surrounds you
it used to be a field
with a tree where we all played
that's why i say...
Substitute what is now
for what had used to be
old or new, everybody's got to pick
it's making me insane
