Many have asked if this is an “anti-war” song.  I’m not sure if that’s it or more of a cautionary tale about the flippancy that accompanies the use of military force.  Members of the military, their families and loved ones make a great sacrifice, and that should not be diminished.

This track began as a acoustic guitar, bass and drum demo.  Electric guitar and mandolin were then added.  The middle bit was originally designed to be more of marching drum sound, but we changed our minds.  Tony overdubbed keyboards and Fred overdubbed tom-toms during the middle eight portion.  

We’re not really a “political” band per se , but are a “person” band
