Yo beautiful people,an anti war song forya.
Rudi (F.R. Kniel) approached me a while back with a story of Jeremiah,a young man made to go to war for his country. The experience left him dehumanised and bitter for what he had lost.
His actions during the conflict also left him unable to forget,heal or move on with his life.
Then he met Emily and everything changed,she became the catalyst for his recovery. So in some ways Jeremiah regained his faith and realised Heaven is where you find it.
I found Rudi's synth lines to be very moving in conjunction with the storyline,so his instrumental base allowed me very quickly to fashion a song which I hope captures Rudi's initial idea,even though the lyric is very comprised from the original text.
The song lyric relates the story from Jeremiah's perspective.
When your country calls
You must go to war
That's when you find for sure
Just who you are
Oh the things we had to do
To our fellow man
I'd love to forget it all
But I don't know if I can
Need someone to rescue me
Show me the way
Restore my faith again
Can't bear this pain
Another day
She saw me cry and held my hand
Took away the pain
Made me feel that I could be
A real man,once again.
Now the nightmares fade away
She gently helps me stand
My eyes are open,now I see
Now I understand
Just me and Emily
That's all it takes
I'll be here each morning time
I'll be right here
When she wakes
