A fascinating musical exercise, as well as a moving anti war song. The use of the well known Monk's Gate (Who would true valour see) tune for the chorus and a strong hint of Johnny I hardly knew you, to make an emtirely new song; at least new in my termns- nearly 40 years old now.

just awful.

Like many folk tunes it's based on the same music as others. Chances are that the melody of 'To be a Pilgrim' was based on one such tune.

reminds me of to be a pilgrim

The percussion reminds of "Ride across the river" by Dire Straits.

MADDY, if you had sung this song to me, way back then, I would never have gone away.
However : iala acta. We were young.

I went abroad fighting for strangers, young, stupid and full of testersterone. I came back in one piece, others didn't... This song put me in a trance, the song diplicts days that should be long gone, but nothing has changed, the story is still the same. Nice posting, thanks!

Veterans MUST be treated better, and not just the wounded/maimed ones...
