Ep. 69: WWII Homefront Pop Culture - "When The Lights Go On Again"

On this summertime edition of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present a panel discussion marking the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II - VJ Day, August 14, 1945 - on the actual 60th anniversary in 2005. Participants included several local residents who were in the military, working in defense plants or otherwise supporting the Allied war effort as young adults in 1945. The panel was part of a series curated and moderated by CASCADE OF HISTORY producer/host Feliks Banel when he was deputy director of Seattle's Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI), and was recorded before a live audience at the old MOHAI in Montlake.

The Long Deployment by Jehanne Dubrow

For weeks, I breathe his body in the sheet
     and pillow. I lift a blanket to my face.
There’s bitter incense paired with something sweet, 
     like sandalwood left sitting in the heat	
or cardamom rubbed on a piece of lace.

     For weeks I breathe his body.  In the sheet
I smell anise, the musk that we secrete
     with longing, leather and moss. I find a trace  
of bitter incense paired with something sweet.

     Am I imagining the wet scent of peat	
and cedar, oud, impossible to erase?
     For weeks, I breathe his body in the sheet—
crushed pepper—although perhaps discreet,
     difficult for someone else to place.

There’s bitter incense paired with something sweet. 
     With each deployment I become an aesthete
of smoke and oak. Patchouli fills the space
     for weeks. I breathe his body in the sheet	
until he starts to fade, made incomplete,
     a bottle almost empty in its case.

There’s bitter incense paired with something sweet. 
     And then he’s gone. Not even the conceit
of him remains, not the resinous base.	
     For weeks, I breathed his body in the sheet.	
He was bitter incense paired with something sweet.

The Long Deployment

“Back Home To Me” captures the quiet resilience and aching hope of the 1940s home front. Set to the sound of slow radio ballads and echoing factory halls, this song is a letter in melody—written by someone waiting, praying, and holding on. A tribute to love in wartime, and to the memories that kept hearts strong until peace returned.

💌 For all the ones who waited.
