The band was formed by rapper Jared Gomes, also known as "M.C.U.D." (MC Underdog), and guitarist Wes Geer, who became friends amidst the Orange County hardcore punk scene. Gomes and Geer recruited guitarist Chizad, bassist Mawk, drummer B.C. Vaught and DJ Product © 1969. They named the group "Hed", which stands for "higher education". The band built a following with their energetic performances at local venues, and released the self-financed extended play, Church of Realities. Legal issues forced Hed to change their name, adding PE, which stood for Planet Earth.

DJ Product © 1969 (Doug Boyce) — turntables (1994-current)

(hed) Planet Earth Lyrics

I can see the sun going down
I can see the sun going down
I can see the sun going down
Well I tried to make some sense of all this
I tried to work it out
I don't know how i got caught up in the middle of all this
Well I tried to change the channel and move on
I tried to bite my tongue
I don't know how I could be so fuckin stupid for so long
I dont know why I had to be the one
This has gotta be some misunderstanding
No, this is not my point of view
It's all over
(When you know it's all over)
I know you feel it
(I know you feel it)
It's all over
(You know it's all over)
How can I hold on?
It's all over
(You know it's all over)
I know you feel it
(I know you feel it)
It's all over
(You know it's all over)
But it's all I do
Ooooh
Well I feel like such a clown this time
Well I feel like giving up
Every single one of my friends let me down this time
When I was dying, they were living it up
Well I could not control the wound over stars or myself
I cannot control the sun
I don't know how I could sleep in that bed for so long
I don't know why I had to be the one
This has gotta be some misunderstanding
No, this is not my point of view.
It's all over
(When you know it's all over)
I know you feel it
(I know you feel it)
It's all over
(You know it's all over)
How can I hold on?
It's all over
(You know it's all over)
I know you feel it
(I know you feel it)
It's all over
(You know it's all over)
But it's all I do
Ooooh
I can see the sun going down
I can see the sun going down
I can see the sun going down
I can see the sun going down
Well it feels so quiet before the storm
Well it feels just like a dream
I shelter myself in hope
I know why the caged bird sings...
The song "Sundown" by (hed) Planet Earth is a bitter reflection on relationships gone wrong. The lyrics suggest a feeling of betrayal, with the singer feeling foolish for having been taken in by someone, but also angry with himself for allowing the situation to continue for so long. He seems to be trying to come to terms with the end of his relationship and the realization that it is truly over. The image of the sun going down is used throughout the song as a metaphor for the end of the relationship.
The opening repetition of "I can see the sun going down" sets the tone of the song; the sun symbolically represents the end of something, in this case, the relationship. The singer acknowledges the situation and tries to "make some sense of all this." He reflects on his own role in the relationship and how he got "caught up in the middle of all this." However, he ultimately realizes that he needs to get out of the situation and move on. The chorus of the song hammers home the point that the relationship is over, with the repeated refrain of "It's all over" driving the message home.
The song highlights the emotions of a person who has felt betrayed by someone they loved and trusted, and now they find themselves feeling lost and alone. The lyrics also suggest a sense of yearning and hopefulness. The singer shelters himself in hope and knows that the caged bird sings. It implies that he is not completely defeated and still has hope for the future.

The Earth's rotation is directly linked to the concept of time as we understand it on a daily scale. A full rotation of the Earth on its axis, which we perceive as the transition from day to night and back again, takes approximately 24 hours. This rotation defines our concept of a "day."
Moreover, the speed of Earth's rotation also impacts time measurement. The Earth rotates at a relatively constant speed, which allows us to divide time into consistent units: hours, minutes, and seconds.
Additionally, Earth's rotation is the basis for time zones. As the Earth rotates, different parts of the world experience daylight and darkness at different times, hence the need for various time zones.
Finally, discrepancies between our exact solar day (about 24 hours) and the time it takes for the Earth to rotate fully on its axis (approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds - known as a sidereal day) are corrected through the use of leap years and occasionally leap seconds to keep our calendar and clocks accurate.
So, the rotation of the Earth is fundamental to our understanding and measurement of time.

This is a great source and super simple to teach my 7 year old student. She asked me if there were 2 suns because when it was dawn where she lived, my time zone is still in the afternoon the previous day. I explained about the earth's rotation and she understood but having a visual aid will really solidify the concept. Thank you so much!

Maybe the student could teach you, as we are not spinning.
