AnneS Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 After more than a year of radio silence, I finally had a song come to me today. It’s not earthshaking or anything, but it feels true enough, and I’m just glad it showed up. It really has been a long a$$ drought. You know what to do (or not!)—it’s just a first capture, but I thought I’d share it right out of the gate. (It’s the j100 with thousand-year-old strings.) https://song.space/3cshqq 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissouriPicker Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 WOW! Killer song, Anne. Gentle and poignant. The deep and mellow sound of the J100 really fits this song. I really like this kind of song. I believe a lot of people can identify with it……..Glad you’re writing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Anne, that was touching. Timely. Would make anyone stop what they're doing and sit down and really think. What a song should do! I'm sure you know, a song like this taking a year to percolate is worth the wait. Jumbos with old strings. Like old pickup trucks. Thanks.

E-minor7 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Enjoyed the tune - and good to see'n'hear you back on the tracks, this one and the 'tape'. An accordian came sneaking as I listened - have to say it suited the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps not a club because some may not drink nor prefer to be in a club atmosphere, but maybe an outdoor type of venue with covering during the cooler fall weather. Some State Parks rent such pavilions. Might be fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area, so that's a problem for the East Coast guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Rehlmann Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) Very nice song. But were we told that wars made us great? I thank God for all of the brave people who stood up to tyranny and attempts of genocide. All from my country give thanks to the Americans and all it's allies. How ironic is the similar melody of this song to yours.

I thank God for all of the brave people who stood up to tyranny and attempts of genocide. All from my country give thanks to the Americans and all it's allies. The bravery of all those who fight against tyranny cannot be questioned, of course. Ever. The song, I think, speaks only to a creeping disillusionment that grows when patriotic fervor is engendered for its own sake and stifles deeper inquiry into and understanding of the real sacrifices of war. There are noble purposes for war and there are really ugly purposes for war. I grew up in a place and time where we were given to assume (erroneously, I think) all the wars were noble. Knowing now what I didn’t know then… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
