Been quiet for a while, moved home a month ago, and it's been carnage! So I can find a few things now and most bits are plugged in....was playing around with this riff on Sunday, and been evolving for a few days, I have aimed very much for the feel of messeurs Young and Cave
enjoy! 

Brother

Written by Andy Casson

I ask you please what am I fighting for?
Where right and wrongs are lost in the cause
There's something wrong here, what am I dying for?
It's a made up war...and my soul is sold

I ask you please are you keeping score?
My mother's crying, knocking on your door
There's something wrong here, I don't know no more
There's fire in the heavens and blood on the floor

Chorus
Brother hear me now
Put your weapon down
I can't take no more...no, no, no

Oh mother please, what are you crying for?
Keep the fire burning, a welcome at the door
Your sons are fighting on a distant shore
But peace is coming to calm the storm....

Wow. This is powerful stuff!!

Great tune, with a fab arrangement. And the vocals just drag you into the song.

Excellent work Andy!!

Very impressive song, both lyrical and musical! Every minute was really worth of listening - can't believe this lasted over six minutes! Excellent!
