Story Behind The Song

Part of a large collection of anti-war pieces I have been working on since 1990 (before the first Iraq war). This year has been particularly productive in creating new protest songs; I am really getting quite incensed with almost evil gyrations of our own

Song Description

I wanted a song that sounded like a war machine, doomsday clock, and still had elements of acoustic/organic instrumentation representing we can still step back and no go full on into another war. There are always options. But so far, the great war machine

Tempo Medium (111 - 130) Mood Frantic, Heated
Subject Anti, War Language English

Lyrics

none

Nice piano work

Not a bad basis for a song, but found it much too repetitive. Also, I wouldn't classify it as electronica....the electronic/industrial elements were too few and buried in the mix. Possibly a few of the piano phrases could have been played by synths, particularly distorted patches.

good song, not too electronic, with a bit of classic piano on it that makes more interesting the song.

I really liked the vibe to this song.

nicely haunting. nicely atmospheric and lushly, plushly FULL. Great overall sound. Love it. Very nice job. Love the vocal, choral additions.

I have to say I really enjoyed this song... I love piano and electric guitar together, and I especially like how the piano was the focus but it still sounded badass because of the beat and the electric guitar. The electronic elements of this song further enhance the badass-ness of it, while maintaining a quiet sadnes with the piano melody... excellent work! You have a hook, but your song doesn't get boring.
