"Waist Deep in the Big Muddy" is a song written by Pete Seeger in 1967 and made famous because of its censorship from The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.
The song tells the story of a platoon wading in a river in Louisiana on a practice patrol in 1942. Imperiously ignoring his sergeant's concerns, the captain orders the platoon to continue with himself in the lead until they are finally up to their necks. Suddenly, the captain drowns and the sergeant instantly orders the unit to turn back to the original shore. It turns out the captain was not aware that the river was deeper with a joining stream upriver. The narrator declines to state an obvious moral but intimates from what he has read in the paper that his nation itself is being led into similar peril by authoritarian fools. Each verse ends with a line noting that "the big fool said to push on" except for the final verse, which changes to the present tense, and the fourth verse which says "the captain dead and gone." The story is similar to the Ribbon Creek incident, which occurred in 1956.
The song was considered symbolic of the Vietnam War and President Lyndon Johnson's policy of escalation, then widely seen as pushing the United States deeper into the increasingly unpopular war. Like the Captain's demise, Johnson was eventually forced to abandon plans for re-election due to the war in 1968. The captain's criticism of a dissenting sergeant as a "Nervous Nelly" in the song's third verse appears to mimic Johnson's epithet for critics of the war."                    Wikipedia

Cicatrices es un corrido tumbado guatemalteco que suena a verdad. Con guitarras acústicas, bajo firme y una voz que lleva el acento de la calle, esta canción cuenta la historia de un hombre que ha vivido, perdido y vuelto a empezar. Cada verso es una marca del camino, cada nota un reflejo del orgullo chapín.
No busca fama, busca verdad — es un retrato de lo que somos en Guatemala: resilientes, soñadores y leales hasta el final. Una canción para los que crecieron entre polvo y esperanza, que siguen caminando aunque la vida duela.
