Thread Name: Lyr Add: Song about the end of America
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Song about the end of America
Larry, I too love the song. I wasn't familiar with air so I searched around and found a MIDI file so I could hear it. Unless the MIDI file is inaccurate, the melody is beautiful but perhaps not one that will get large numbers of people singing. Couldn't we have a melody that almost forces people to learn the words just so they can sing the song? We'd want this song to stay with people on the same level as This Land Is Your Land, Hobo's Lullaby or Solidarity Forever.

What we need is a movement here. “What I mean... take it easy, but take it.”
