Inspired by current events.
A little eighties pop influence.
Duran Duran, the Cult, etc.
Maybe a little Muse.
Mightnight comes
Awakened by a sound of thunder
Moonlit sky
Flashes out beyond the treeline
Hunter silhouettes
Lighting up the sullen sky
If morning ever comes
Will you still be with me
Will I hear the children playing
Do we stand our ground
Do we run for shelter
War monger will find us all
In the night
The war machine is marching closer
Seasoned might
Mastered in a bygone era
Just outside the door
Shots ring out and soldiers fall
If morning ever comes
Will you still be with me
Will I hear the children playing
Do we stand our ground
Do we run for shelter
War monger will find us all
Blood is on the ground
Shattered glass and houses
The air is thick and cars are burning
Can't believe my eyes
How did we arrive here
So easily abandon mercy
If morning ever comes
Will you still be with me
Will I hear the children playing
Do we stand our ground
Do we run for shelter
War monger will find us all

Nice. Tense and insistent with the driving beat and pedal tone early on. Interesting interlude and tonal change after the second chorus, indicating god knows what is happening on the ground.
Great imagery in this one. Between that and the tension of the music, creates a vivid sense of place and time.

I think this is on many people's minds and the "War Monger" is very descriptive of the evil. A really good, catchy melody, well produced and what a great vocal on this. Thank you so much for sharing this on the Ukraine Thread.

Kickin song! Great job here!

Nate,
Great song and I echo your sentiments. The brutality of this unnecessary conflict is so awful. I really like your vocal delivery here. Very well done. I would love to play drums on this if your interested! Oh that bridge is awesome. I hear a feedback solo

I hear a lot of Muse here. Still can't believe you write this song in a couple of hours. Yes it's a rough recording but the message and feeling is clear. I wanna hear a massive wall of guitars in the final.
@frostin Feb 2022
Real nice production. Definitely hear the Muse vibe
@b3nut Feb 2022
.........damn. Powerful. "If morning ever comes...Will you still be with me..." just...wow. Well done.
@mikegtz Feb 2022
Glad you went there with this song! Cool song, nicely produced.
@mikeskliar Feb 2022
wow, this is very polished and very powerful- nice work!

Sobering and thought-provoking. The driving music gives it a sense of urgency that matches the lyrics. Powerful and well done.
