Subject: RE: Lyr Add: A Victory Song for the USA!
Don... my dear dear friend... You have to get the full effect, I will send you the rough tracks of the 3rd CD, with the version that WBAI played... YOU SEE it is the LACK of subtly that is the point! We sent an army in killing thousands for nothing, for nothing for nothing, Now, I continue to write versce such as
Your child wore no uniform Your child held no gun your child had no time to grow to anyone what your child would have done if America only waited
Impatient to count the votes Impatient to see if nations togethe would work to be free but we drop death from the sky and death from our guns and shed not a tear for the old or young But we only care for our daughters and sons whos lives are swept away in our wars...
BUT THIS song, has cybals clashing, snare and base drums, massed chior, and sounds like the Red Army, or the Wermacht or, yes, the US military band, you know the oximoron, Military Music... Now, I was not going to put it on the CD until I got an email from a listener to the radio who wrote me, after calling the station for the adress, he said, this song is PURE evil, I loved it.
That's the point, we can't always sing gently Cheers Larry PS It is as subtle as Thom of Bedlam, eh?
