Tim McMullen's Blood Red

[everall23]

I love this song now, and loved it the first time I heard it in your class in Junior Team! :) I always hoped I would be able to find this song in particular!

"Our silence pulls the trigger". Simply great.

Thanks for the compliment. I deeply appreciate it. It is tragic how true this song remains after so long.

I'm amazed, in this song seems to be the whole dark side of the human history from the previous century to the current one, and also something very essential about the basic human nature. We are selfish, greedy, short-sighted, lazy and yes very weak beings.

Great song - it's all very true!

profound my friend! I like the expression in the degree of strumming throughout the song -that alone tells the story

[TimMcMullen]

Thanks for your kind comment. Most of the time my playing is a rather limited imitation of variations that I saw and heard Ramblin' Jack Elliott play, but this song comes more from spending night after night at the Ash Grove or Golden Bear, front row center, watching Phil Ochs play his heart out. Guthrie and Leadbelly got me interested in music; then Dylan and the Beatles got me started playing. But Ochs was my first real idol. If you like this one, you might like my song "I'd Have to Be Dead."

Wow, this is an awesome song. Just as relevant now as when you first wrote it.

Hey Tim,

You can't beat a song that comes from the heart. I can tell this one does. Great Lyrics.

Thanks

Jack
