Funnily enough I was wanting to do a protest song last week but went for safer ground instead as I thought there would be a tendency to discuss any social, political, economic or environmental point of view rather than the song. Thanks to everyone who fed back here to show me we can handle these things maturely.

Good song but could have the tendency to be overlong so write as many verses as you can and pick three or four of the strongest. Certainly the Cindy Sheehan refernce is very powerful and is abetter verse to protest the Iraq conflict than WMDs.

Reminds me very much of Paula Cole's - My Hero Mr President - very similar sentiment.

Great stuff :wink:

This is one of those songs that could, as pointed out, end up with two dozen verses. You'll have to think about recording a "live" version of it instead of a "home studio" one. Too many verses and the fun wears off, even in the best of songs.

Or record a lot of different versions... :wink:

Encore!

She has spent most of her time since then camped outside the president's ranch in Tx, waiting for him to come out and speak with her, so she could ask him why her son and so many others had to die. Mr Bush will not meet with her.]]> Sunday Songwriters Group katreich https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/week-27-wake-up-call/#post-176345
