I remember you said you were going to put some lyrics to the great guitar Javolenus uploaded. I love that you chose to keep it in unplugged style. I also loved that you put a little more power in this which goes with the theme. I can tell you put a lot of thought in how to deliver this and it was perfect in my opinion.

Thanks for listening with so much depth and insight. Means a lot you noticed the subtle changes. I felt unplugged was perfect because I can imagine marching at a protest with an acoustic guitar, singing this with a whole choir! Peace my friend.

Well, this is awesome and perfect. Your voice injects both sensitivity and power, as well as a whole range of emotional & tonal colours. It’s a real pleasure to hear. And many, many thanks for using my guitar as a base to build on.

Your lyrics are also perfect and “spot-on”. Actually, after the guitar motif came to me (from wherever musical ideas originate!), I thought to write a song. I had to smile when I saw your lyrics because this was my original draft:

Dreaming of clear skies
Dreaming blue & yellow eyes
Dreaming no more goodbyes
So tired of dreaming…

Also just wanted to say that, in one of the UK News reports from Ukraine, the journo asked a young Ukrainian woman (who had been caught up in a Russian attack on her neighbourhood) if she had “a message for The West”? This is what she said: “Cherish a clear sky. Cherish every moment of your life.” And then she broke down and sobbed.

Thanks again for this anthemic song!

“Never again” again. Maddening and saddening. Well done, and a great collaboration with Javo’s guitar track.

Goosebumps! “But he’s just one man and we’re an endless field of flowers rising…” yes, yes, YES! This is such a powerful folk protest song. Like Jav said… perfect.

Excellent work, Snowflake and Javolenus, we’ve got ourselves an anthem!
I’d march to this, how about you all?

Thank you, Snowflake, this is uplifting :)

Yes! Our voices do matter. Thank you for sharing your voice. You inspire me. I too hope the world can find a way to help stop Putin’s insanity.

Great build to the song with your voice acting as the whole orchestra filling every corner of the mix.
