Subject: RE: 10 of the Most Disturbing Folk Songs - BBC
Even as a retired medic, I also find Alistair Hulett’s song “He fades away” quite disturbing, but correctly so as it highlights the plights of those affected by asbestosis in the Australian mines. Then there is Allan Taylor’s song “Roll on the Day” re those affected by miners’ pneumoconiosis: another one that I won’t be afraid to sing but with disturbing images.
