@willowflight17, sorry dear but no. Heather wrote this a LONG time ago, and recorded it first with Phoenix. This recording is also from before the advent of the Heir, and before the formation of Uffington Horse.
@Willowflight17 this is Alex, if my memory serves correctly this was recorded shortly after the operation so hence why Alex still sounds kind of feminine. But this is an Alexander James Adams song and not a Heather Alexander song.
America would be better if we started to bring the jobs out of the poor countries and produce more than we take in......but that would take alot of heartbreak.......just like if we would go back to the gold standard.....alot of death also
Y. it allwas importent to know how people thinks in when it happen to them. tactical warfare is a strong weapeon. but can something help prewent war :)
the best deffence is a good offence and knowing you enmy is half the war. that the way i live. now it allwas funny to get your friends to think you can read minds and that kind of think. when it just knowing he´s next move. but stil fun :)
so you've really read Sun Tzu's Art of War by the looks of it! yes it helps you a great deal to anticipate a move made against you and to strike first, no matter the field of application ...I couldn't agree most!
this song, for clarification, is an irish battle song, it was made during the period of english rule over northern ireland. this was very popular in the nineties and still is with the ones who fought the british, my grandfather, and his brothers. and if you think the brits dont control the north still, and the ira is gone, think again!!
wee-ell, the Brits *did* rule northern Ireland in the 1980's, yes. and i'm sure the March does get sung in Ireland now and then, so in those senses you're right. but Heather Alexander (who wrote both lyrics and music) was a native Californian, and her heir now lives in Oregon, so...
No no no Army has Ever sung it. Considering the lyrics were written in the late 80's and piblished and sang in 90 Very nice though she is a he now lol
it's said to be popular enough with combat units in the U.S. armed forces, yes.
can't quite figure out _why_, since it's a song about defending one's homeland, and when was the last time us Yanks really did that, eh? but we're strange that way.
No offense but why wait for someone to come into your house when you already know he wants you dead? Thats like lettin the bear bite you before you shoot because he might just be joking?
except that neither of those examples are good analogies of what the USA has been doing, foreign-policy-wise, for the last many years. (or ever, really.) if your summary was truly correct, we should have inveded Saudi Arabia --- but real life is a lot more complicated than that.
I think they want more and more oil and new lands to conquer... the term I used is a bit forced but the same rules applies now as they did for hundreds of years for world' superpowers. America is imperialistic by nature, and in great need for other countries' resources ..
@darkviking87 Well i see why you would say that considering what people around the world have been taught for the last 50yrs. But the reality is a bit different. Ussually we were on the side of the non whites or non european ppls i guess you could say. Sure there were exception but there always were. We were expansionist still are to some degree.
However we have tons of resources we just dont develope them for varying stupid political reasons.
Well...If the british did there job about 200 years ago by actually listening to there colonies like america for example,they would still have a bit more of there collapsed empire left,usa wouldn't be a problem today if it belonged to the uk of today and under monarch control.Also,don't get me started on your country romanian,you have done much worse than any north american or british history wise..vlad the impaler ring a bell and dragon cults ring a bell?
man just for your general knowledge my country Romania has quite a history, real one, not the type you mentioned as linked to some fantastical and hollywood-inspired myth of Vlad the Impaler. He does exist as a historical figure in various chronicles , but he wasn't some kind dragon cult member .. if I'm not mistaken, his father was called Vlad Dracul because of his coat of arms resembling a dragon...(''Drac'' in Romanian can be interpreted as a snake/serpent/dragon, you see...)
actually he was in a cult,it's symbol was the dragon,know as ruler of romania for a short time and for his "impalings" of the turks which he fought a war untill was killed by the turks.
we have a beautiful history and on one thing I agree with you : we'd be far more respected as a nation if we had a monarch leading us instead of a bunch of corrupt politicians ...
yeah no shit! as a citizen of america i think we should pull our goddamned noses outta EVERYONE elses business and pursue alternative energy so we dont have to fightfor oil.
I love this song too, but why do you assume it's a Scottish War March? Heather Alexander wrote it in the 80s. I tend to think it's Irish, but she doesn't say. May be safer to just call it a War Song. (or use the term Celtic)
@Fionnuala1969 She wrote this song when she was 16 (if my memory serves me right, she said this at a concert 7 or 8 years ago) just to spite her parents and use the word "bastard."
