Very nice job with the little breakdown about 2/3 of the way through! Very effective!
Once again, you've created some high-quality music!
Thanks, TB

We both read Lord of the flies in high school also and the disturbing effect remains.

Terry’s smooth vocal presents the dark and moody feeling perfectly

Love the BiaB guys ... those drums are powerful.

Alison’s cello and Steve’s baritone and your bass and guitar all sound great in tone and chops.
And they each have a comfortable niche on the soundstage.

Video post:
Terry is a great front man, acting out the lyric perfectly and his smooth vocals remind us of how easily people have been seduced to follow the dark leaders. The scenes of the children with their weapons is chilling - all of the scenes are very effective in delivering the narrative.

The complete production - both video and audio - is deeply thought provoking and very well done.

You are, as always, kind, generous and very supportive.
THANKYOU

Nice job on the video, Ray, it does a good job of complimenting the song.

Man, what crazy times we live in! Good job on capturing it in both the song and the video.

Hi Ray,

I heard your song on YouTube some days ago, then forgot to write you a compliment for it, because it is a good song with good/sad lyrics!
I just did that on YouTube, but now also in the Forum, because that made me aware what I had forgotten.
I really like that bariton guitar in the song. Gives the song an exciting twist!
And the message? Horrible times...

Those boys marching are an allegory for the new American brown shirts. I love the pig with the red hat! I was talking to a colleague about this song last week. I showed him your last verse. He thought it was perfect.

rayc,

The combination of punk rock with cello, baritone guitar, etc. is amazing.
It's great to see the vocalists and musicians appear against a backdrop of a 50's-esque video.
Great ray-c sound.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Best regards.
