Hello RnAM, Ray and Peter,

Thanks for your nice replies on the song. In a way it is unreal I had to write these lyrics. Something of the times of WWI and II, but here we are facing these horrible things that are going on and who nows how they continue...
But about the song: your posts are very kind and gave me the idea I've improved my 'song making' skills somewhat more.

The subject is grim, but the song is effective for sure.
Well done!

Hi RnAM, actually I used more instruments myself in Logic than from BiaB. For the first time! But the base was of course BiaB!
Thanks for your compliment.

A sad story well told.


Hi Ray, I had to think about that 'separate'line. I had no idea I was a bit loose from the band? The band always has to do what I told them to do; following me! But I like a little explanation if you want to. I'm curious of course.
And this was also the first song I used 'Tonal Balance' from Ozone from the beginning to the end. Man, I used some wrong words now and then! But when I read your comment on the frequencies, I then knew it was worth it. Thanks!

Good work all round.

Hi Peter, glad you mentioned the BGV. They gave me a headache during the mixing process...
Thanks for the compliments

I wish you all a very nice weekend,
Hans
