The Devil Rubs His Hands

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, I have to say I'm not a political animal I think most politicians are lying shits and that's it. Iwas however moved very close to tears watching the carnage in the Gaza Strip especially the sight of blood soaked children and distressed parents who didn't even know if their child was still alive. Surely some of these people must come to thier senses soon.
Anyway, this is as close as I come to a political song.  Willie

Why don't you look at me my brother
We're just the same under the skin
My God's no better than your God
And the Devil rubs his hands again

And if you cut me I bleed like you
We really are the same
And the colours not a problem here
'Cos underneath we are the same

Inst

You're killing me, you kill my family
My children's blood is on the sand
And all it needs to end this travesty
Is one of us to hold out our hand.

[Tangled Wires]

The worlds a crazy place, and I think these lyrics really hit home.

Excellent song Willie, a real nice pace and tempo to it all and some tasty smooth lead work thrown in between the verses and on the outro.

Tragic subject matter, but truly inspired songwriting.

[Redler]

I like this a lot. Very good tune of a current topic. You've done excellent job on lyric! Top class playing and singing. The solo is outstanding! Love it!

If you can't say it through song, how else can you say it! I too, like you, cannot understand the current situation.
Hard subject, great song.

A truly great song Willie. I can relate to the feeling you put into this. The most impressive part for me is that you (at least for me) manage to put that feelings into your lead guitar work. That's something I always strive for.

Let your music continue to speak!!!


I'll listen

[Hook]

A truly great song Willie. I can relate to the feeling you put into this. The most impressive part for me is that you (at least for me) manage to put that feelings into your lead guitar work.

This is so true brother, art brother, your making art. Great song!
Rock On!

[Farrell Jackson]

All is not fair in Love, War or Politics....I've seen those same disturbing images Willie and they bother me also. I think your lyric help drive home what most people looking in from the outside are thinking. It's a sad situation indeed.

Great vocal and the lead guitar that is laden with emotion.....nice playing!

Have to say, the news from Gaza has been so upsetting. In fact today I was so upset I said to my wife I don't think I can watch the news for a while anymore. But that would not be right either. We have to see what is happening... madness... so sad.

Great track Willie... super stuff, I think it captures the emotion brilliantly.

[Jarle]

Emotional and sad. You really speak with your music. As Hook said you are making art.
