The awakening

Cheers easybeat after I've learnt the song without mistakes I'll record it.

I did a rough track easybeat so you can get an idea of how it will go. The 2nd verse isn't right plus I forget to breathe which put me off note but hay ho. Let me know what you think.

Thanks easybeat. Was trying to make it sound folky. I'll check out the group you mentioned. Thanks again for your input. I'll leave it now as writen.

Cheers Beamer, much appreciated.

Thanks phill, (I just wish I could do my own backing like you do so well) I was hoping to get that sound. Wait till you hear my next one . I wrote today. It's got that feel too. Just hope I don't upset any one with subject matter. As with this song no offence intended.  I haven't read any books may look the writer up now you've said. Thanks again Trevor.

Being a Celt, or at least Welsh, it's quite possible that your forefathers pushed mine out of what's now called England. How could events that happened 1500 years ago cause offense? It's all part of this countries colourful past.

If you're referring to the religious aspect? Religion along with politics is a taboo subject here so don't worry about it.

Hi. Ctech
I enjoyed your song.
The past is the past but it is a worthy subject for a song.
well done.

Any song that is a bit controversial has in fact done what's it's meant to, cause people to think, react, talk about etc ...... Just like protest songs and such. 
So with that in mind, regardless of the subject matter, your song has done just that.

Well done, very much a folk song which is what you wanted to achieve and have done.

Ctech first time I have looked at both or your latest song. Challenging lyrics on both. I went to school until I was fifteen so my learning on life is through experience,  travel and reading so I am no expert on this.  I can see them  making some people uncomfortable which doesn't make them bad. Debate is good and sharing differant views. can only help people form their own ideas, Having said that no one  has questioned your lyrics yet but I suspect they will.
Obviously all religions have sacred histories and narratives, which aim mostly to give a meaning to life. which I am sure we all respect. Most will accept things done in the name of religion that are bad don't always reflect people who practice those  faiths or  beliefs.  Perhaps, a common factor in history  no matter our race or where we are from  is our ancestors hope of immortality made those warriors face death without a tremor.  No matter their  religion they believed, that cowards would miss the bliss of the future state.  AMONG all the problems with which man has busied himself with,  none so appeals to his hopes and fears as that of the future life. Is there a farther shore, and if so, shall we reach it? Few races in history, if any, have doubted the existence of a future state, but their conceptions of it have differed greatly. Of course today in the Western world many peoples perceptions on life have changed. I don't have an answer but it saddens me all the powers of the world spend millions making weapons to kill. The arms trade a big money earner. Peace ,love and goodwill lost to power and greed. Maybe I have it wrong, I think the average person on this planet wants to live in peace. Confucius said,“He who conquers himself is the mightiest warrior.“  Every culture around the world has had some form of power and corruption in it's history. Good that your writing about it in the good Folk song tradition.

Thanks Peatle Jville that was a long read. I believe the pre-Christians held personal responsibility highly. The nine noble virtues. It saddens me that most of what they believed has been destroyed. 

I grew up in a religious community as a child ,I felt safe ,contented and loved how close and helpful  people were. Move on till now and your own are not cared for there is no community everyone is fragmented,I'm scared to death for my children and grand children the world they will inherite is an ugly place.  We live with delusion that we will all be one and get along but anyone with there eyes open can see this not to be true.we are living through the last days of our great civilisation.  It happened to the Romans ,the Greeks ,the Egyptians and now us.
I belive like you the common man and woman want to live in peace but the media,government and religion wind them up,makeep them crazy. That why I have no TV, I don't buy papers,and I have no internet (only on my phone)just no 24/7 feed. I hope this makes sense. I apologise for any errors in my writing. A last word"All it takes is for good people to do nothing for evil to previal" Trevor
