Resurrection

Rock Repose: Echoes of Serenity in Acoustic Harmonies

A Horse with No Name

Half a world away, in a field the horde invade
Defence of sovereignty as you face the storm
For the win we pray, with the help of foreign aid
Look to the stormy sky, and hear the battle cry

Through the midnight raids, families hide in shelters
Another page in history
Fly on the wind of change, and strike to the heart of terror
Until the taste of victory

For peace we pray but peace will come with pain
Through the darkest night heroes answer the call
Over land or sea, you’ll carve your destiny
The voice of the free is loud, so wear the trident proud
 
Through the midnight raids, families hide in shelters
Another page in history
Fly on the wind of change, and strike to the heart of terror
Until the day of victory

And a free Ukraine will be a light that shines like stars
And the warmth ignites the spark
And a free Ukraine, we’ll see a phoenix rise from love
With the trident shield of gold

Candel lights won’t fade and will light up heaven
We’ll join parades of victory
The nation’s flag unfurls where the heroes fell, and a tolling bell

Victory

Juan Alban and Hap Hayward got together on a series of school nights in late 2008, to see if they could write some songs together. Having been part of The Bridgey days (Bridge Mall Inn music scene of the 90’s and beyond in Ballarat) in their respective bands (Epicure, Dead Salesmen), the two decided to collaborate in the extended wake/aftermath of those heady days. They wrote a smidgeon of half-songs together, with Juan supplying music and Hap the words. The sessions were taped on a small recorder and put in a box somewhere and forgotten about. Kind of. Hap used the most complete song, Went Down Fighting in his lyric book Songs About You in 2012. Fast forward to 2023 and Juan and Hap got together to ‘finish off’ and record the song, adding more
lyrical, melodic and textural elements under the guidance and skill of producer Cam McKenzie. A frail little acoustic sketch is now a full-blown electrical storm. The song is about loss and standing up for that loss in some way, with certain people no longer around to do so. It all seemed a bit tentative and perhaps a little too melancholy at the time (even for these two!) but fifteen
years later, it has been given more fire and ‘straight-backed’ urgency. Went Down Fighting was a whispered creation once - a mild little thing in that half remembered lounge room session -almost apologizing for its very existence! Now? Nah. After all this time: Play it loud!

A modern take on an old classic. Please forgive me
