Hey BT....

Ha....good catch.
Admittedly, the large majority of my song writing drivel has subject matter that is pensive in nature.

My next one (shortly) strays from pensivity (oh jeez....did I day that) into the lighthearted with some levity category.
I have difficulty writing those types of songs.

On a different note: after 7 decades, I think I've finally memorized how to spell rhythm correctly!

Anyway, you're welcome amigo.

Brilliant! The production encourages the listener immerse himself into the musical story. Excellent work on the instruments you played. The backstory was helpful and I've added that book to my reading list.

Thanks so much for the listen.
And very well put "to the valiant innocent of the holocaust...may we never forget".
And I agree, the cellist on that RT is very talented. I wish I had half his skill.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

We must never forget... yet we find ourselves having forgotten.

Thank you for reminding us that we should never forget lest we go down that same road again.

Hey Storm, thanks so much for the listen and kind review, glad you found some value in this.

If ever you want to discuss the book, just shoot me a PM.
Who knows, maybe this could grow into a BiaB Book Club smile

It is highly important that the dark side of history is not forgotten. I'm quite sure I have read some book by Frankl, but can't recall its title at the moment (it was 30 years ago...). Strong intro that gets straight to the flesh of the subject. The cello and the vocal parts sound majestic. Then the haunting synth and the bass... a story well developed and told. Very creative work.

Hey Janne, very well put. But even if we don't forget the past it still could be repeated. I'm hearing the dark rumblings from that past around the world; I wish I had a permanent soulution.
Thanks so much for the listen and favorable review; you are amoung several here I admire.

Hauntingly amazing. A part of history that must never be forgotten.

You captured everything that is so vitally important, and delivered it in a sensitive and caring way.
