Incidently I regularly play your "Ireland" song not to mention "Smell Hound" both great songs.
cheers

On reading this I was concerned with verse 3

But the recording made all concerns end

This is one of those songs that raelly benefits
from the MP3.

I wasn't sure what to think on first reading
but you recorded one great song.

Good Job

Verse 1:

Our homes openned to you
You sang us song
When we hummed along
You altered your tune

A whisper at first
Half truths to the wind
Soak us in the sin
We're doomed to rehearse


Verse 2:

You spill out your hate
Dictate your demands
We're raising our hands
We hand you the state

One voice above all
You called to the hills
We slaugher and kill
You ushered the fall


Chorus:

You're making me
You're shaping me
You're turning me
Into a killing machine

You're all I hear
You're all I know
My sweetest dream
My horror show


Verse 3:

You glide through the air
You tear us apart
We hear what you want
You haunt our minds unaware

You narrow our gaze
Take aim with a word
We killed a million in your name

Chorus

Coda:
Let's turn off the radio for a while
Let's turn off the radio for a while
Let's turn off the sounds bytes for a while
Let's turn off what we want to hear now
Let's turn off our favourite song
Let's turn off the radio for a long, long while



Romeo Dallaire's book, Shake Hand's With the Devil, chronicles the UN involvement in Rwandan during the genocide. One thing he repeats is the power of the radio to promote hate and mobilize the mobs. This struck me, and challenged me to think about what messages I am letting the media suggest to me.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group SlowPlay https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/ssg4-week-28-radio/#post-17812
