New Song - War

Postby CrazySchmidt » Tue Oct 22, 2024 6:13 am

Hi guys, this is my latest track, my first for 2024, I think it's fair to say I'm getting slower with my releases. :lol:

The lyrics with this one came to me without too much trouble which is rare for me, but seeing as how there is so much turmoil in the world, the words just seemed to flow naturally.

I'm using a combination of my real Marshalls and Amplitube with this one which really helped with the diversity of tone that I was looking for.

As always I hope you enjoy it and please feel free to comment, both positive and negative is ok with me. ;)

Lets keep rockin' 8-)

Cheers, CS. :)



In the shadows of the darkest night,
Sounds of war, far from sight,
Heart beats faster with what's to come,
From this world so full of hate!

Oh no no no,
Oh no no no,
Oh no no,
Lets brace for war.

Can you hear the distant screams?
Souls in pain, lives torn apart,
An eerie deadly quiet,
Then tomorrow it starts again...

Oh no no no,
Oh no no no,
Oh no no,
Lets brace for war.

Mothers weep holding lost children in their arms,
Fathers swear revenge
In a vengeful and hatred rage!

Oh no no no,
Oh no no no,
Oh no no,
Lord save our souls.

Bridge
War...
War...
War...

With our hands in prayer,
Pointing towards the sky,
Would it help if we looked upward,
And confessed our lies?

Oh no no no,
Oh no no no,
Oh no no,
Lord save our souls.

CS, I'm always glad to hear your song :D . I really like it. The song is very typical of you. What's great is that I really like your style and how it all sounds. The guitars are great again. Singing too. Unfortunately, as my colleague wrote in the post before me, the topic is timeless.
Keep on rockin!!!

Hey CS,

Whoa, buddy. This is a killer track with your usual mega-riffs and outstanding vox. :o
The subject matter and the way you’ve delivered this is superb. Great production & the lyrics are spot on and powerful – matching the track so well. Leads are awesome and nice to hear some wah!!

Nice to have you back, man. Great post and hope it’s not too long before we all hear another! :)

Hey guys, thanks a lot for the nice comments, always appreciated. :)

I have a new one on half boil, a really basic rock n roll track, but I like it. ;)

Will hopefully share sooner rather than later, unlike this one. :? :lol:

Cheers, CS. :)

Checked your soundcloud fast.

I really liked the Crazy from the heat track =D It had a nice flow to it and the part with the weathercast was a nice addition.

Good stuff. Have fun and rock on!

Hey Dewil, thanks for taking the time to have a listen to my SC channel. 8-)

"Crazy from the Heat" is one of my personal favorites, so it's nice to hear someone else acknowledge that track.

Cheers brother.
