Hero's With Halos

https://hearthis.at/elvis-nash-xk/heroes-with-halos/


In World War two they stormed the beaches of Normandy

In Viet Nam with all the contradictions and tragedy

In Afghanistan they’re battling the elusive Taliban

Brothers in arms just kids dying by the flying flag

Chorus

Hero’s with halos

On white clouds with the angels that brought them home

God rest their souls

Finally getting some peace

They never got here below

They sacrificed so we can be free

White stone crosses fill quiet cemeteries

We could never pay what we owe

Hero’s with halos

V2

Perhaps in a thousand years will have stopped all the wars

But were violent, violence is always knocking on our door

Maybe I’m all wrong and we might learn to see

Finally with enough wisdom and we don’t have to be

Chorus

They sacrificed so we can be free

White stone crosses fill quiet cemeteries

We could never pay what we owe

Hero’s with halos

    Inspired, fantastic song Elvis, absolutely love it.

    The musical outro is brilliant.

    outstanding piece of work.

    One of your best.

  • Hi Elvis... Love the title... The lyrics are fine, but this waltz pace is killing me. Seems to be saying a lot in a slow cadence.

    Nice guitar solo! Who'd ya get... David Gilmore?

    6/8 time . Not used much anymore Tom , Thats BZ Lewis my producer on solo. 99 % are 4/4 , so switch it up


    Thanks Tom and Sid

    Will add background vocals to fill the space , Be done next week

    It will be on local radio once its done , It fits Gavin Jones radio show , He's the other producer where I do vocals

    lovely lines, and placed just right at the end of the chorus to add to their weight.

    I think this might spread more within families of the armed forces than directly on the radio - a bit slow and sad for that. Which of course is what it should be given the topic!

  • Yeah its a not a happy 4/4 time song , we kinda over do at times , 6/8 not common much anymore Owen , BGVS will fill it out , with gospel oooooooo's and repeating lines in v2 , Get some oooooh's on outro


    Thanks man

  • Now the back grounds and harmony's are added to fill out the 6/8 time
