  Many thanks for your comments on my song Mercedes. I didn't have hardly any time at all this month to do FAWM, but I'm free today and I want to enjoy the day listening to all the new music. Thanks again!

  Glad you liked my little train ride. There were so many other details I might have added. A Paris s such a cosmopolitan city, the cross section of people riding on this train out of town was all inclusive. Muslim women in veils, people of African origin in colourful "native" costumes, a guy subtly scratching his balls for most of the trip (crabs?). The woman hogging the two chairs was an intimidatingly beautiful "mulata" woman (you could tell even though she was wearing a mask over her lower face) - eventually a woman insisted she move over and she reluctantly did.
  All human life was there :)

  Hi Brian, please try again on my Wave after Wave

  Indeed we are, but there are some topics where debate is always fruitless and so I'm not going to engage, especially on FAWM when there's a whole rest of the Internet for that... I'm sure people here can respond to a song with another song though! I've edited my liner notes to make that clearer.

  YOU SAID; "interesting to see you reference Jesus as a saviour"
  
  Actually, I didn't , my narrator did :-)
  
  The hypocrisy of justifying slavery by saying "we brought them to Jesus, at least!" is beyond further comment.

  How does this look?
  Hurt People Hurt People
  
  Chorus
  Hurt People hurt people
  That is so true
  Hurt people hurt people
  Like me and you
  
  Verse 1
  Why do we push
  And why do we hit
  Emotions build up
  And then we split
  
  Verse 2
  Why do we hide
  And why do we run
  Pressure builds up
  We hurt people son
  
  Chorus
  Hurt People hurt people
  That is so true
  Hurt people hurt people
  Like me and you
  
  Verse 3
  How do we cope
  It’s eye for an eye
  Our anger builds up
  And we hurt people my
  
  Chorus
  Hurt People hurt people
  That is so true
  Hurt people hurt people
  Like me and you

  Hi Brian,
  
  I am with you on the drums/bass/synth stuff. I also find a lot (but not all) of that stuff totally uninspiring. I was the same with Rap, but one of the regular skirmish players writes Rap with only acoustic instruments and he has opened me up to the genre.
  
  I also agree with your assessment of the US in decline and the rise of China. Glad you liked my ALDM - Bill White wrote a fabulous piece on that song on the song page.

  And thanks for reflecting on Did I Wrong?! Yes, I am very fond of murder ballads. And aware that murders in songs and in the real world are two totally different things. The first supplying, the latter detracting meaning. :-)

  Thanks for your comment on Under Dark Blue Sky. The movie is there, just look at the inside of your eyelids! :-)

  Thanks for the comments! I was just thinking there's probably an entire concept album to be made out of towns with curious names. I know of one song about Truth Or Consequences, New Mexico, for example...

  Thanks for the listen and comment on In Peace!

  @pvk2020 Feb 2022

  Thanks for listening. It was an abrupt ending but also recorded straight into my Samsung with a looper, un-edited.

  @cloudhopper Feb 2022

  thank you for pointing that out (honor the weary traveler) , I fixed it

  @berni1954  Feb 2022

  You said the prompts were failing to inspire you. The trick is to find something, even when the theme doesn't appeal. That said I did have a total shutdown on "B" last night. Just stared at the screen and then went and watched Netflix with Carmen (who's got Covid) :(

  "Swift Rivulet"... love it! I'll consider this as a title ;-)

  Thanks for the heads up on klyma. A fine lyricist indeed. He's going on my watchlist.
