Brother american against American,thats a real tragedy after their great gradfathers fougth together to get ou independence.it can happen again the way things are going
@motoshop07 Thank you for commenting, yes, we are very insular in this part of the world, believing we are free from such diessention and rebellion. I see the draconian & unaccountable eroding our freedoms, the gap between the have's and have nots widen, yes it can happen again, & it could take less than we think. Failing economies around the world are leading to anarchy, as we pour our final resources into our military engines and posture for supremacy. Ok now - Happy thoughts!! Cheers Jt.
Na minha cidade existiu um forte ( nome de santa tecla 1773/ 1776) era um forte espanhol, os portugueses derrotaram os espanhois, raphael pinto bandeira! depois no sec 19 houve batalha dentro da cidade, há marcas de balas até hoje na igreja matriz, deixadas como trofeu para o nosso povo!!
@k2133100 Amen brother. Harsh lessons that have been repeated time and again. Hard to believe men could so easily become cannon fodder in such large numbers. Cant imagine the terror they endured, but the song is about the torment of somone who sends them to their death. Interesting perspective indeed. History never stops repeating itself, but maybe one day........
Yeah, I agree it was the battle that truly indicated the union stragegy, that it was a war of attrition. Guess that why it was the one that turned the tide in the union's favour, as the confedertate forces would have realized that no matter how long the war continued, they could not afford the losses that had been endured by the Union! Kind of like business today, where companies beat each other into the ground and endure loss after loss to see if their competitor caves in first!
Truly beautiful song. This is all the more heartbreaking to me for having done research for writing - in many firsthand accounts the Confederates themselves got genuinely upset about Union tactics of 'throw men at them until Johnny runs out of ammo'. The greater pity is that since they won, no-one questioned it all...
Thanx for commenting, have always been impressed with its haunting undertones and tragedy suffered by those at the Battle of Gettysburg and the human perspective of those who sent those young men to die for ideals that no longer apply. Always appreciate hearing the effets of the songs and pictures on people.
@jtrevett I understand what you meant when you wrote "for ideals that no longer apply". I'd like to add that yes, the ideals of slavery / non -slavery are a moot point now. But....I try to always look for the root causes of things. I think that a great deal of men that fought...particularly the southerners....it wasn't about the immediate issue of slavery....but of the fact that one group of people was telling another group of people how to live and behave. No different than today, is it?
@naderchaser - I dont know if I can agree that they never understood the relationship about the issue of slavery and what it meant. Yes it was about one portion of government dictating to another, but the southern culture and its economic success was tied to its retaining that institution, and they couldnt let the northern, more prosperous states destroy that. It was the naval embargo and its inability to export cotton and goods that led to a southern defeat, not the ability of its army
As Garnet was leaving the studio, I was coming in, and this took place over several months. A funny, endearing man with many stories. Kudos to Dan Brodbeck for doing such great work at the console.
...this is THE song from that CD-well that, and the King of Rome.
Thanx for commenting, Damiannixon posted an excellent rendition of this song, you should listen to it as well as I thought his rendition would have made Garnet rather proud. Anyways, glad you enjoyed it.
The CD notes give authorship of the song to Garnet, and not Archie Fisher, with Garnet saying he wrote the song after reading several accounts of Gettysburg.
On the matter of the battle, I have some expertise. I took on the task to transcribe and publish the diary of a Mississippi soldier who was captured at Gettysburg. The day was overcast, he wrote, but did not actually rain. I have no way to know if Garnet had access to the Peel diary.
Being both an historian and a singer I love this song doubly much, My only historical quibble is that it did not rain during the battle itself, although it rained plenty before and after sufficient to fill the Potomac to prevent the ANV from fording the river as they had done to enter Maryland. But leaving weather aside, Garnet's song is one of haunted beauty.
I recall there being much observation about the heat and humidity the three days of battle as it was the first few days in July. I think all the soldiers would have been hot, dusty and dry! I am now unsure if this song was written by Archie Fisher and performed by Garnet, or exclusively his own, Anyone know?? Thanx for commenting,.
I've loved this song since i first heard it some 20 years ago. I didn't know it was about the Civil War, but rather the pointlessness of *any* war. I guess, in a non-specific way, it is about that.
Wow, can't believe the song is 20 yrs old, but now that I think of it, yes it must be close, as it was nearly a dozen years ago I heard Garnet perform it in Vancouver. He related his drive through the Gettysburg area and the song. Archie Fisher may have written it, but now not sure! Thanx for commenting
Yes, it could apply to just about any era or war, but on the album, he mentions his touring in the Pennsylvania area and travelling through the old Gettysburg battlefields and did this song in memory. The picture I used in the beggining is of bullets extracted from the ground at Fredricksburg. Watch Ted Turner's "God's & General's" to appreciate the photo. Thanx for commenting!
Well I trust we will see a better future and that man will no longer slaughter their brothers in senseless wars! You know, "beat your swords into plow shears." Thanx for commenting, the song and video has evoked a lot of interesting comments and peoples views of wars past and present.
Wow, that was neat, did your class enjoy it too? Anyways nice of you to comment and glad it had some practival use. Garnet would be impressed I am sure as well. Thanx for commenting
yes, they wanted to watch it twice. We were having a discussion around memorial day about the true cost of war and why it matters that we learn from the past, for good or ill. The class also really like "Frankie and Johnny", which we watched just to think about the message. They will both be used again! Thanks for doing this one!
Thanx, it has been posted for a long time now, I thought it was buried behind other video's. Nice to hear it is still being viewed. Glad you enjoyed it. jt
Your welcome, and glad you enjoyed it. Garnet music is very unique and great ballada and story telling. Thought of putting video together first time I heard song, and yes great lesson for mankind. Thanx for commenting!
Thank you for the effort of synchronising the music and visual scenes. I have only just discovered Garnets beautiful music and can't get enough of it. Not being Canadian or American, it speaks to the human in all of us I think. Thanks again.
Sorry, but it's Garnet Song, including the amount of music! His arrangment, his art, you will have to take that up with Garnet himself. Personally I thought the musical interludes provided great musical imagery and reflection on his visit to that battlefield while he developed his ballad!
I gave Garnet a VHS copy I had at a show one time in Vancouver, but he was busy and distracted, & he was on the road, so don't know if he watched it or lost it, but I never heard from him. Left my number, but he may have lost it as well. Anyways, no matter, as I did it for me & was originally worried he might be upset about copyright infringements. Made the video as the song impressed me. Let me know what he says if you talk to him! I have a better copy on DVD if he would like!
This is one of my favorite songs by Garnet. It's heartrending, as he puts himself in the place of an officer who has to put his young charges in harm's way day after day, and finally decides he's had enough. I wonder if I would have that courage.
Have you told him about this? I will, the next time I see him. I think he'll be pleased.
I was born and raised near Gettysburg. My family still lives there. I have been a Civil War Collector and re-enactor for 40 years. This is the first time I have ever heard this song though I have been a Fan of both Stan and Garnet for years.
I have a peach-pit sized lump in my throat and tears welling up in my eyes. Thanks for posting this. I will never forget it.
Well those are most kind and gracious words. Very glad you enjoyed the video. It is actually quite an old piece from one of Garnet's earlier albums. Heard the song, saw the pics and put them together. Thanx again for commenting!
Thank You, it was an idea I had to put photo's to the song the first time I heard it. Garnet is an excellent folk singer, and this particular song struck a somber and poignant tone with me! Thanx for commenting
Not controversial at all....I agree with you. I note that the southern side did not have photographers following them about, and the union photographers were not prone to taking shots of dead union soldiers, other than a few really hienious ones for money raising purposes. My original statement was that the southern forces were fighting for their families and homes, on their own ground, for a way of life that they believed in almost to a man. This why they hung on and fought so long.
Sounds like were on the same page, but while most of the war was fought on southern soil, Lee did plan an invasion of the north and their Army did meet at the Battle of Gettysburg, in the north, to force a peace with Wash. Being canadian, I am probably ignorant to the biases of the photographs and their photographers during the war, although I do did read about staging photo's and propping guns beside the dead for effect! I know the Union army had a large entourage of newsman and photographers
Hi JT...(I keep coming back here and even recorded a version. I'll post it shortly). I never thought before reading these comments, about biased photos. All pics. of war are equally unbiasedly horrible I feel...and yet never as terrible as war. I can't but feel thankful that both sides in the N.Irish war didn't have their own respective photographers to record forever their victims' (in some cases, butchered) bodies. What an evocative song!
thanx for commenting on the video, I shall look forward to seeing your post. Let me know once it is uploaded so I can view it. It was certainly amazing how the press and photographers had such open access to battle fields and captured such evocative photo's with their limited equipment and abilities. Today's modern wars do not have such witnesses and the press are kept for staged photo opportnities.
Still not quite sure what the issue is here and what exactly you find about the song or video to be controversial. It is not a new thought that war is useless venue to resolve a conflict. "Live by the sword, die by the sword". Either way any comments about the video thus far have followed the theme of Civil War's great loss in life and savagery that resulted from conflict between brothers and countrymen. PS. The lessons here still have not been taken to heart!
The men here died to protect their homes and families. They did not own slaves. They wanted the freedom to govern themselves as a state. Is this lunacy?
I don't believe there is a criticism of the sincerity of these men or their cause, as how could ones like them endure the horrors of such battles to the death, but referring those who decide to fight such a war and are the ones who rarely stand upon the battlefield. If they did their enthusiasim to take to arms would be a little more tepid and our world would have been full of bright young minds and the vigor of young men providing unknown contributions to society and the benefit of all!
Yes it is usually the young who become the tool of warfare, and thus pay the higher price in the loss of thier youth and lives. You think mankind would remember this lesson the older our history gets!
For sure the harsh reality of war and it,s grisly aftermath leaves few survivors. I am an certain that if the ones who declared war were the ones that fought and died in them, there would be a less bloody history of Man! For the poor low ranking soldier huddled in his hole, I reaffirm, "there are no atheist.s in a foxhole"! Thanx for commenting.

Yes I have seen him several times as well and he always mentions the sad and depressing songs and tries to avoid them in concert. He did play this song once as it was at the time he released the cd it was on and he was promoting the songs. He is quite witty on stage and very cynakle, and very vasicious on stage. All very entertaining. Thanx for commenting
Yes, thanx for commenting, his song is very piognant and sad. It was written by him after travelling through the Gettysburg area while on concert tour. A lot of his songs are great ballads reflecting the history and culture of both Canada & the U.S.
