Through storylines dealing with catastrophic changes, visual media has much been celebrated and appreciated for its efforts to evoke the perils of the Anthropocene in South Asia. But as the crises escalate, other cultural artefacts, especially popular songs, are being explored and harnessed by musicians, bands, and singers across the region to promote environmental awareness. Over the past decade, as popular music culture has mushroomed in the Indian Sub-continent, its extraordinary potential to grasp the attention of consumers towards environmental concerns is being utilized by renowned Indian musicians. These artists have yoked the potential of popular music to reflect issues of environment and sustainability. Exploring the trajectory and topoi of ecomusicology and drawing theoretical insights from it, this chapter examines singer and music composer Papon’s song ‘Waise hi Rehna, Waise hi Behna’—a plea for river conservation. The work brings together music and environment to address the anthropogenic environmental crisis that has gripped the Indian sub-continent. Through a detailed examination of individual sections of the song, the chapter emphasizes that the pollution of rivers in India, that Papon alludes to, fits well into Rob Nixon’s understanding of “slow violence” and Dipesh Chakravarty’s perceptions of the “planetary crisis.” The chapter further scrutinizes the elements—ecologically-charged lyrics and cinematography—that the song employs to provoke public awareness of the human-induced ecological catastrophe. The chapter also explores the various aspects of listening to songs and music within the framework of ecology and environment, strengthening the argument that eco-songs illustrate music as a reliable medium to promote environmental sustainability.
