Good for those like me lacking keyboard skills. Anyway - Lyrics & Vocals Leon Me Guitar synth and backing vocals.

There are some great rhymes and some very fresh-sounding words used in the lyrics. This really adds to the appeal factor! Leon and you have pulled out all the stops with this one.

I know I've never used the word "subjugate" in a song before... Interesting choice of instruments, too. Bagpipes! Did you do the military drum on the synth? A fun listen. fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

OP PeterF Veteran Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 5,643 Sydney Australia	Floyd Thanks for the comments I've put the lyrics up. The drum is from band in a box - an old MIDI one used in the folk song collection (the files are dated from 2000 so I assume it was an add on that year)I think it was one of the Scottish tunes.

The harmonies have been delivered perfectly. And wrapped around an excellent story-line for sure. And the bagpipes, well, how good is that.

There are really great lines in every verse. And the vocal, the arrangement and the mix are all top notch. The pipes are amazing. I'm sure a lot of work and creativity went into this production...and it worked well! J&B Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.
