Stop the Cavalry - Jona Lewie cover

[ODH]

It's an odd song, an anti-war protest song that's been a Christmas standard (in the UK at least) for forty years.

This is recorded into GarageBand but with all live tracks, no GB instruments. In fact it's three acoustic guitar tracks with one vocal and some jingle bells.

And making this really got me thinking about the lyrics, the tragedy and misery of conscripted war.

Merry Christmas to all

I assume I have heard this in movies and such but can't place it. Love the middle eight and what comes after. This was a fun post.

Hi,

Not odd at all.

This song has a great atmosphere and you captured it very well.

Nice one
Nick

I like your almost whimsical vocal take (maybe that's as much due to the melody as anything.) This is another song I'm not familiar with but I enjoyed listening. As a self described little "L" libertarian, I'm all for antiwar songs. I toyed briefly (just a few seconds) of doing a hard rock version of this one. Luckily, it has passed. I really do like your vocal on this, bare and genuine.
