about

From Song Fu 4 round 2 - Write a march.

I'm not sure I succeeded in that, but I do quite like this song. Re-recording hopefully coming sometime in the future.

This is "remastered" which is to say "mastered for the first time". I have no idea if there is ANY audible difference from the original, but anyway I applied some global EQ and compression. (If you don't know what that means, it means I "tried to make the overall recording sound better". Which is something I'm always trying to do. But this was in a really pointed way. Um. Anyway.)

lyrics

my story is one I'm sure you have heard
but common as it may be
my fate, though not unique, of boredom and nights bleak
feels pretty unlucky to me

I walked with the footmen of the 7th division
my mind shot full of holes from what I've seen
these hands have blood on them, no matter how much washing
I can't get the damn things clean

a little peace and quiet, that's all that I crave
I'll march right in to my grave

she wrote me these letters, trying to make it all feel better
but I've been blinded by a muzzle flash's light
I coud not have done better, to escape from these fetters
this rich man's war, poor man's fight

my feet stopped on the stairs of that little house that we shared
there in body I'd left my spirit somewhere behind
she said can you hear me, from the outside I saw clearly
I'm going right out of my mind

don't need your sympathy, I don't care to be brave
I'll march right in to my grave
a little peace and quiet, that's all the I crave
I'll march right in to my grave

I don't need your sympathy, I couldn't be more brave
as I march right into my grave
don't say that my soul is something you can save
when you march me into my grave
I won't stay in my grave...
