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. Vic https://on.soundcloud.com/6QW7DSoldiers 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?
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2025 Windows 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.

Thanks Marty.
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

Loved the mandolin, words fit the melody so well, good song and a convincing vocal performance. Excellent work!

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.

Thanks BD.
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!
