Man, Phil, very powerful stuff.
The vid is very well done and a bit disturbing, but sadly not as much as it probably would be if we weren't getting used to hearing about and seeing this kind of stuff.
The song itself is great, says just what it needs to. I loved the line "flowers in the street and blood in the Seine"
Reminds me, particularly the way you sing the first verse, of a Leonard Cohen song, and I'm a big fan of his work. And of yours.
Great job by all involved.


Rob, many thanks for those very kind words.  BTW, loved your new cover tune.

Ed and Daryl (for Liz) thanks, and thank you for your help in bringing the song to life.

Strong message wrapped up in a well done musical package! Let's hope it gets through to the ones in charge.
(But aren't we all in one or the other way?)
 
Greetings from overseas,

Very nice...   Arrangement sounds good, as does the mix.   And the trade-off between vocal style plays out the difference in feel between lyrics really well. 


Thanks Steve, that's exactly what I was after.

Phil, Ed, and Elizabeth I'm sorry that I haven't seen this until now.  This is a whole other level of powerful.  This production is a good example of what we can do to lend our voices to our current situation.  Five stars!

Excellent number Phil and very poignant.  Your lyrics certainly make the point and the way the vocals are arranged really brings some emotion to the song.  Of course the video, accentuates the music and lyrics very well.  This was also very impressive from a technical standpoint (mix, performance, video-music match, etc.).
 
"We all live in the same house..." and the message you are relaying needs to be echoed around the world!
 
 


Many thanks for that, Freddy!
