hey father & son - since this I really adore you. You are fans like me, you love and experience music in so much ways - and obviously your musical language seems to be congruent with mine. Thank you that you exist. I celebrate you and will continue to do so. All the best from Germany!
I totally agree 100% with the sentiment of this song.The people in power forget themselves. There is only one human race and the governments and military are betraying themselves. Us the people are the pawns and we are the ones that suffer at the hands of the people in power. Chris sang this perfectly and with so much emotion it made my heart swell, and in one take as you said.
It's a shame the comments on their official video are disabled (I get why) because I really wanted to pour out how amazing this song is. I was really impressed just how quickly Chris wrote this. It's so catchy, about a serious subject but as you said has a glint of hope in it. There's lots of major thirds and suspensions in there showing openness and willingness to reach out, and I love the lead guitar line above the vocals. The rhyming lyrics I think without context would sound super cheesy and cliché but here they really work, and since they sound so similar it could symbolise how muddy the waters get in war. Really deep stuff considering how quickly this was put together.
"Raccoon taking a shit" - epic. Although it was exaggeration and used as comparison - still want to hear that. War is hell and not being to help there leaves me to wait for song "Raccoon taking a shit".
