Just another singer/songwriter. I play all my own instruments (except drums) and record on a Boss BR1200CD standalone multi-track recorder
Just an old Back To The Land hippie that stuck to his plan.

This is really nice Charlie! Great groove - The rhythm section (bass-drums-keys) is killer and the vocals are 1st class! And nice playing and fx on the guitar. More familiar is the story line still in todays headlines!
A well written, performed and recorded song!

Hi Pine! I heard this over at songcrafters and it's sounds just as good here! Just a quick stop to say hi and to see what you were up to musically.
Keep the tunes coming my friend!

Had to go 5-star all the way on this one. Great song,Charlie. Very well done on all counts. Very clear production. Message is loud and clear..and much needed. IMO, too many people are blinded by misguided values and need a clear voice speaking out against the atrocities that we inflict on our fellow mankind..and this song is one of those voices. Way to go!

This is so well recorded. real clean and sparkling. Great lyrics Pine. Clouding it in the theme of sandstorm is perfect. Real nice guitar in there too Pine. Superb.

Excellent Pine. What a great hook/word/sandstorm to relate to the story. You have a great way with a story.

What great storytelling put to an awesome musical backdrop...Nice reggae feel lingering back in groove (Nice!!!). Perfect vocal performance with top shelf mix+production values...This is great songwriting.

This is great Charlie, the lyrics speak the truth, no wonder politicians are so hated now a days, easy to send brothers and sisters over to fight, but for what?
This would have been a great song for Neil Young's protest songs site. I love the song it's very well done.

great and heart-felt song, pine!!
love the vocal effects. perfect lyrics, just when they say it's over, it's only just begun...i've been thinking allot about what is going on in this world lately, and it can make your head spin...just trying to comprehend it all. our puppeteirs are the ones in full control, and we don't have the ability to cut our own strings without falling. if that makes any sence...hum gives us something to think about. this song says it all. more then just music, but food for thought. to many lives are lost and for what? it's like a childish game of "mine is better than yours", except we are the pawns...aaa
