That was beautiful. Do you know if the band’s name is a Doctor Who reference?
Nah Just found them today.
It was chill of them to donate the proceeds from the song to the original artist’s family.
I’ve listened to this song about five times now. I’m a sucker for anything that talks about how, when men in power fight, the children are the ones who die. The original song has always been a favorite of mine.
Yeah I’ve liked the original for a long time too.
Have you ever read Slaughterhouse Five? It’s alternate title is the Children’s Crusade, and it’s about a teenager who gets drafted into WWI. He goes overseas, witnesses a horrifying bombing, and immediately gets captured and develops psychosis and PTSD. Or else, he becomes a time traveler and is abducted by aliens. But it’s clearly meant as a metaphor for how traumatized the poor kid is. This song reminds me of that story.
