Artist picture
I'm a songwriter of Anglo Irish descent, currently based in the UK.....I'm a Member of The Performing Right Society (PRS) and a Pro member of The Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI). I have a collection of songs and co-writes available for artists to cover...My style leans mainly towards Acoustic - Country - Rock/Pop - Americana.. I also have some environmental/social statement songs. So get in touch if you like what you hear. I'm planning another trip to the U.S. this year to Nashville at the end of October. ...I've had recording and publishing deals with both major and indie companies in the UK, Europe and USA, working with co-writers and producers including Peter Collins [Bon Jovi,Leann Rimes etc] Colin Thurston [Duran.Duran], Dave Ambrose [Fleetwood Mac, EMI A&R] D-Side, Eric Stewart [10.cc] and Richard Niles with songs published by Warner/Chappell and Morrison Leahy Music. I'm unsigned at the moment and the publishing on most of my new stuff is currently free. I have my own recording facilities and I'm always happy to explore new co-writing partnerships and opportunities.

Lyrics
KISS GOODBYE TO THE WORLD A child is born and a man must die From a shadow hear his soul begin to cry I left this place and I never tried Now I must kiss goodbye to the world Annie calls won't you spare a single dime She looks so strong but there's hopelessness inside One fine day she must take that final ride And she must kiss goodbye to the world Women scream as the men they still make war Point their guns at a child left on the floor Planes direct misiles overhead And they must Kiss Goodbye to the world A man lies bleeding in a war he thought was just For king and country, did what others though he must Where's their thoughts amidst the smell of blood and dust And they must kiss goodbye to the world Spare a thought for their lives are doomed But for the grace of god, could be me and you It's a sober thought when the darkness looms And I must kiss goodbye to the world A child is born and a man must die There's something wrong when you hear the angels cry 'Cos a million years it's the blink of an eye We must kiss goodbye to the world Kiss goodbye,Kiss goodbye, Kiss goodbye We must kiss goobye to the world © Anthony Duke

Anthony, Great tune with a good message. As you point out, people engage in wars which they believe to be just but most of the time they are not really fighting for freedom or anything noble. They are usually fighting and bleeding and dying for the interest of the wealthy and powerful (who do NOT fight). The world needs more songs with a relevant message. Good on you for this one.
