Flanders Fields

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi all, the very last of WW1 songs from me. This is so long I have to post a Soundclick link (oh well). I was looking for inspiration for lyrics and found this poem by John McCrae called Flanders Fields whose words almost moved me to tears in their poignancy and simplicity. When will mans inhumanity to man ever stop.  Willie

Thank you to all those that had the stamina for this marathon, it was a subject that needed more than I could give it but as always I gave it my best as did the other wonderful posts in his category. Willie

I almost missed this...

Very harmonic and peaceful intro here! The tone of your synth is magic!

Epic job all the ways, Willie!

I've always had a fascination with WWI.  The way it tore away communities of ordinary men and sent them into a gothic hell which nobody should ever have to endure and from which many would never return.  And none would return unharmed.

It's heart breaking.

Your song is a wonderful contemplative piece that brings it to life and a fitting tribute to their memory.

Thanks for allowing me to hear that, I was moved.

Beautiful, evocative stuff Willie.  Powerful and moving.  The desolation of the bell at the end just adds almost unbearable poignancy.
