The aim of this paper is to suggest modern folk songs as one of the most practical texts for ecological consciousness. To prove this, this paper scrutinizes songs of two of the most prominent folk singer-songwriters existing; Bob Dylan(1941- ) and Joni Mitchell(1943 - ). Appraised as the first popular singer raising popular songs into the real art, Bob Dylan sings on “consideration” and “association” between friends, lovers, and human beings. All the miseries of mankind including big wars, he thinks, stem from the lack of the delicacy and consideration for others. Like Wordsworth, he also believes that Nature is a guiding principle for the redemption of humanity. As he confesses that his Muse is Nature, his songs introduce hundreds of millions of his audiences with the Nature’s economy. While Dylan is concerned about Nature implicitly, Mitchell sings out directly that we have killed Nature and Earth as well. Almost all of her songs are permeated with “Love” which she believes cures and recovers both human beings and Earth endangered also. From the point of eco-consciousness, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell stand on a favorable position which is open to the public. And their places render their songs to have direct and extensive influences upon their world-wide audiences. As long as they sing and we hear and remember them, their songs have a long life as an ecological text to effectively helps us enhance ecological consciousness.
