Description:
I think everyone knows what this song's about...thoughts as always, welcome and very helpful.
Lyrics:
There once was a man who rode a horse right down the lane
He met a woman, they would marry, she was named Elaine
They moved to a house, it was right on the side of a hill
Soon they had a little boy and they named him Bill.
When Bill growed up, he said he wanted to be a soldier man,
They sent him off, saying 'son, go and fight this man'
He never came home again,
He never came home again,
Where's my soldier, Bill?
Don't be a soldier, Bill.
They say freedom isn't free at all,
Costs folk like you and me,
But I don't wanna pay, for my freedom
But I don't wanna pay, for my freedom
There once was a man who rode a horse right down the lane
He met a woman, they would marry, she was named Elaine
They moved to a house, it was right on the side of a hill
Soon they had a little boy and they named him Bill.

Really powerful in the most delicate way. The story lyric style is great.
Your vocals are mesmerizing and I like the layering. I'd like to hear the
guitar just a little louder. DL for me, regardless. [ Reply to This ]

Yes, haunting, my thoughts exactly. The cycle of life, broken and not. Just
the right understatement stylings. [ Reply to This ]
good sound &mdash 09/13/06 - 02:07:43 PM
Nice mix &mdash 09/13/06 - 06:44:30 PM
Really good songwriting, here, as usual. And I have to agree that
haunting is about the first thing to come to mind. It seems like your
production keeps on improving; this mix is really good. [ Reply to This ]

Thank you for the song. &mdash 09/30/06 - 10:09:29 PM
That hits very close to home for me. As a soldier (currently deployed) I
have seen too many bills (on both sides).
Again thanks. [ Reply to This ]

Thanks so much for that, I appreciate the listen, I have to say there's no other way for me to thank you for your service other than trying to be honest, using the freedom you're fighting for. We owe you a lot; thanks again for the listen, it humbles me to no end.
