https://soundcloud.com/peterf1957/the-battle-of-the-sexesThe Battle Of The SexesThe Irish bagpipe sound is played on guitar using software called MIDI Guitar 2, pretty good at tracking and does not require any modification to the guitar. Good for those like me lacking keyboard skills. Anyway - Lyrics & Vocals Leon Me Guitar synth and backing vocals.

Hi Peter,
This is a great sounding production. I've never heard guitar playing bagpipes before! Very different indeed. I enjoyed the listen. 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.
Regards,
Noel

Really well done!! Bagpipe and military drum core sounds work very well with the lyrics. The melody is very catchy and singable-kind of Dylanesque. Vocals are excellent. Great job on everything! Take care. Greg

Peter/Leon...
This one would have been a good one to have a lyric listed...a lot of interesting stuff happening in there. 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.

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.

Great effort Peter.
With the March style drums, your definitely provided a great Traditional style.
The harmonies have been delivered perfectly.
And wrapped around an excellent story-line for sure. And the bagpipes, well, how good is that.

Thanks for the comments - sometimes the backing vocals work (sometimes they don't!) it's hit and miss.

Good job you guys. Interesting song using a military strategy to describe your circumstance. I liked the bagpipe sound through your guitar (cool!). I enjoyed listening.

I love metaphors when they are used well and
the military ones in this tune are very, very cool.
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!
