Sending this one out to Salam
As we gird our loins for battle, one song comes to the fore, "Drink Before the War" by Sinead O'Connor. It is from the album The Lion and the Cobra. Hunt it down if you don't have it.
you say, oh I'm not afraid - it can't happen to me
I've lived my life as a good man
no you're out of your mind
it won't happen to me
'cuz I've carried my weight
and I've been a strong man
but listen to the man in the liquor stor
he yelling, anybody wanna drink before the war?
The wizened old men are bracing themselves for the coming conflict. Sinead's voice soars with sadness and resolve. The lyrics only read so-so on the page, but it's all in the tune and the performance. Beautiful dynamics building up through this one.
Drink up buddy.
