For everyone who is saying the lyrics aren't good well then you obviously do not know anyone who has been to the sandbox. Maybe if you actually knew a Canadian soldier or any other soldier fighting over there then you wouldn't think these are "weak" lyrics. This is a good tribute to our boys overseas say what you want about the song but realize it's deeper than vocals, SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!!! (whether you support the war or not!)
Cool bass line, but very poorly written. Still respect to Matt Minglewood for doing what he's been doing for so long. Hopefully our government pulls the plug on this religious/political quagmire they call a 'war'. And before you start blindly shouting support the troops, please educate yourselves. To support them is one thing, but mindless nationalism is not good for anyone.
Just because the song is written about sensitive subject matter does not mean you can overlook the fact that a song is just plain bad. I understand that life is difficult in Kandahar, I respect and support our Canadian troops, but that doesn't make this a good song. It's actually an awful song - the lyrics are dull and unexciting and the vocals aren't anything to write home about either.
As a soldier who served in Afghanistan, Matt's song touches my soul and brings tears about friends who have given their lives for peace and freedom for the people who need it. Anybody can give an opinion, but wear someone's shoes from Kandahar then try and make the same opinion. Take care my friends who are their now.
I don't support the war over there either. but i sure as hell support the troops. cause if the war comes here, i, for one, will be damned glad we got'em
Perhaps if you think a song about soldiers is stupid you might want to consider changing your name (soldier6665). Wait, let me guess, you are a video warrior... you have 10,000 kills.
Exactly! I figure that if you are from the Maritimes and you don't like Matt Minglewood then you have some sort of mental problem. If you are from west of the best and you don't like M.M. you are beyond help. Regards HVO
SORRY... I am just saying that if Air Force girls were tough enough they would have joined the Army! JUST KIDDING!!... PLEASE do not hurt me...I beg for forgiveness...:)
Oh NO YOU DITN'T (finger wag)!!! Gagetown rocks, and next time I see a blue beret (with a girl under it) I won't be rude. I hope for your sake you are a clerk, if you work on the Griffons your next posting will be Pet.
this sing is amazing my bff had it on a cd it almost made me cry thinking of his sister she's in the army she was over in afganistan and kandahar but she's home safe now :D
Matt has been around for a long time.I think the fans need to promote him.he's fuckin awesome.I say do what you can to get his name out there.He's got his thumb on the pulse of the heart of it all.Lets lift him up to where he should be!Enough is ENOUGH NOVA SCOTIA get it done.
I love the song. But I want to hear the recorded version of it. Does anyone know a website that has it on it? thanks. Oh, I live on camp gagetown, and that cought my attention when he said that :)
