This is a really special folk song about going to war...
I love the guitar intro. Sets up song for the great melody perfectly. This is an excellent song, and the first reason I know that is that it affected me emotionally. Whether it's the civil war or the war against terrorism, we still have young men and women living out this same story, and experiencing that "deep despair" in a young life, a young love lost. The last verse was beautifully & poignantly written...perfect. I absolutely love the voice! It's real, true, honest and obviously a master storyteller in song. The melody is simple, the hook memorable, and the bridge is right on target. Way to go! I definitely want to hear more of your work!
This was a really easy song too listen to. The instrumentation, vocals, and arrangement were all excellent. The lyrics told a story, which is what Country music is all about. I could easily listen to this song several times over.
Song was very nice and had a going off to war definite feel. Musicianship was well done and the production value was nice.
Really really good song, the lyrics tell a great story which is sung well. Loved the guitar and the overall production, definitely a case of building and breaking a song down in relation to the story line and it worked beautifully, the use of the strings were really creative and provided the right backdrop to the lyrics being sung
Just a great listen and when you are are not thinking of the critique you know it is
