Great classic sounding textures here, a lot of skill on display. First I hear from you, will check out more.

As a crap singer let me just say it is nice to listen to someone who can "actually" sing. Good song, great theme. War sucks. What a waste of human potential.

Awesome rhythm guitar tone and performance, epic dude. [via https://sc.repostexchange.com]

They threw accusations at the air over our heads, 
we responded with sanctions, fuel for the fire we fed.
We declared an embargo, they filled the canal with mines. 
We ignored every caution, they crossed over all lines.

Feed the beast and warm its belly, 
watch it grow and grow.
Sing its praises and trumpet its virtues 
as it drags you all down below.

We called in an air strike, 
they stopped their shipments of crude. 
So we unleashed the full fury of wars unholy brood.
With no intention of winning, 
every life lost was lost in betrayal, 
but the office fills up with contracts 
when futile rockets fail.

Feed the beast and fill its belly, 
watch it swell and bloat.
Give it blood and give it bodies, 
give it tanks, napalm, and boats.

I don't expect compassion from you... 
so you won't get any mercy from me.

Imperialism and conquest: 
history is but one endless fight 
for the fool-hearted folly, 
for the financier's delight.
For who cares for tomorrow 
when the blood of today brings you power? 
They will forfeit our future 
as the dreams of the damned fully flower.

Feed the beast and drown in its belly: 
a victim of your own designs.
Pernicious and bloated and greedy and craven, 
as the hope for the future declines.

Feed the beast and stroke its belly, 
for its comfort, profit, and delight.
Then pray to your false gods and run for cover 
as it blots out the last rays of light.

Soft War

Futile Rockets Fail

Futile Rockets Fail (by John Ludi & Greg Kutcher as Soft War).

MUSIC FOR THE THINKING FEW.

(NOTE for RepostEx users: I don't repost AI if I can detect it, and I only repost songs I like or show some level of competence or promise...and they usually don't involve an 808, misogyny, Autotune or singing off key over a prerecorded track...and at my age I'm FAR more interested in quality connections with listeners than going "viral". ALSO: mostly an aging rock/folk/prog/indie guy...can't really judge or really relate to Hip-Hop, Auto-Tune and other more modern styles...sorry.)

John Ludi is a musician/singer-songwriter/cultural relic with a diverse and "arty" array of influences and lyrical interests who was "Indie" before the term even existed. Working outside of the music industry by choice has given Ludi the ability to release songs of a level of lyrical depth that are anathema to the current culture.  Ludi lives off-grid in a yurt in the woods of WI and finds the materialistic priorities of our civilization incredibly wrong and destructive.
