When This War is Over

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, bit of an epic this one. About six and a half minutes and starts with an explosion so mind the volume if you're wearing cans. I sort of had the first world war in mind but I suspect it fits any conflict although I wish fervently there was no such thing as war. Anyway I hope you can enjoy although the subject is dour. Willie

When this war is over
I'm gonna lift up my head and sing
When this war is over
I'm going home again
If I make it through I'm coming home to you
But for now tell everyone i'm fine

When this war is over
I'm gonna miss my friends
When this war is over
I won't see them again
Gonna stare at blue skies and green on the trees
Gonna sit in my garden in the breeze

When this war is over
Things are going to change
When this war is over
I'm gonna rearrange
Keep the things I love near me
But for now just tell them i'm fine

When this war is over

Really a great song, Willie...

Alfredo

[Mike_S]

Brilliant... really enjoyed that... I like the wee splashes of synths here and there. Great atmospherics. Vocal performance was great too... I was feeling that!

[Redler]

Fine job, Willie! The slow tempo and long intro sounded great! You've written very moving lyric and beautiful melody. Top class arrangement and production, too. Epic!

[Greeny]

An atmospheric epic and delivered with a real authenticity. So many great musical touches and flourishes. Bit Dire Straits-ish on the clean lead bends, which is just the right tone and feel for this. Nice one.

[Jarle]

abulous song Willie. Your guitar really speaks and your moving lyrics are delivered with emotion.

[Hook]

Powerful brother, I really lik it .
Rock On!

[Geir]

Wow. Excellent.  This could have been on the wall.

Seriously good

[Nelson]

Man that lead guitar has a big emotional ring to it, as does the lyrics.
This is heavy my man... it really sort of tugs at you.

Well done Willie
