My wife jokes that the 70s were about falsettos. Not this dude. Great song. My 20 year old daughter knows it by heart and sings it to her younger siblings.
“I heard there’s a wicked war a-blazing
And the taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising
Their guns on fire as we sail into Hell
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow
But how bitter will be this last farewell.”
They don’t write like that anymore.
Yeah, I joined the military with the sound of that song echoing in my mind.I had a whole collection of Whittaker cassette tapes.
