Hello fellow foruminions!
OK I'm working on a video for this one - but thought I'd get your respected opinions on the song first - Some arrangement choices are there to fit the video but - anything that doesn't work? Should I use a better windscreen on my mic? Any input is welcome at this stage!

Damn This FieldCopyright 2014 Tennyson Road Music
Damn this field!
Ploughing is rough
In this wind, in this dust
Damn you, field!
You never offered a crop
Worth this work and this fuss
Hold on, Bess!
Don't hurt yourself!
Ten furrows left
Won't be long now
We'll unhook this plow
Curse this land!
For burning these hands,
Sticking knives in my knees
Curse you, land!
If it's pain you demand
You should be righteously pleased
Woah there, Jess
My God you sweat!
Just eight rows left
Won't be long now
You'll get some rest...
...........
Damn this field
For taking Pa
Still see him slumped over
And for muffling the shout
Of his heart giving out
In the weeds in your corner
Woah there girls
Don't go down in these furrows
Just six rows left
Won't be long now
You'll get your rest...
Damn you, field!
You never upheld
Your end of the bargain
Damn you to hell!
Next to nothing to sell
Come the freezing this Autumn
Hold on Bess
It's not you I address
It won't be long now
No, it won't be long now
We'll get you some rest
We'll get you some rest...
