Another write with John Vaughan from 3 years ago.
Unfortunately, I have lost the original BIAB track.

Just picture a long-forgotten strip of land anywhere in the world.

Soldiers Field © 2019 vaughan/arnold
V:
The sun is rising o'er the meadow
as I walk the hallowed ground
Trees have grown, casting shadows
The lark sings a pleasing sound
V:
Much greener grass than I remember
Pastures lush where wounds have healed
Wildflowers grow in swathes of splendour
But this for me is Soldiers Field
C:
If this soil one day reveals
the misery concealed
of a hundred years ago
still the seed shall grow
for the young ones of all nations
when to Soldiers Field they go
Inst:
V:
I walk alone here night and day
I stand beside you as you greave
my soul can find no place to lay
except upon this Soldiers Field
C:
Outro: I am that whisper on the breeze
and the rustling of the leaves
So here's to those who plant the seeds
Here we lie on Soldiers Field

Nice work Vic, has a Mark Knopfler feel to it and would be a great addition to a war documentary.
Is that an accordion I hear?

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.

Hi, Bass Thumper.
Isn't it strange how people hear things differently.
I never thought of Mark Knopfler, even though I'm a fan.

Yes, it is an accordion.

Thanks for the comments.

Great band for a terrific song, Vic. Interesting with the accordion, which often found its way to many soldiers' fields. The mandolin is another excellent choice. I really like your vocal, and the lyrics tell a sad story of forgetting what it takes to make a soldier's field.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Yes,the accordion was very popular years ago until the guitar was "discovered".
I remember my uncle playing one when I was a child.

Vic, an absolutely perfect backing band for your great vocal and harmonies.

Super story line.

Great narration - that was brilliant

Super mix

Nice storytelling, I like your song a lot.

Like Thumber said, dial down the reverb a bit and you're definitely in Mark Knopfler territory.

Thanks, Tunemonger.
I felt the different tones of those instruments would be a pleasing sound.

You may be right about the reverb but I needed that sort of ghostly effect.

A lovely presentation.
Calm, strong, narrative/voice.
I did think "o'er" was an odd choice visually as well as in the flow.


Cheers

Really well done, band sounds good and I like the write.

As I've said before, I really like your vocal, perfect for this type of material.

The spoken word part at the end was unexpected but worked a treat. Nice!
