“Yellow Dew” is about the use of chemical weapons against Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos during the Vietnam War. Agent Orange, made by Monsanto, was initially used to eliminate the forest cover of Vietnamese troops, and to destroy their food sources. It killed approximately 400,000 Vietnamese people, permanently destroyed the land which remains toxic to those who still call it home today, and poisoned bloodlines passing down painful deformities and illness to children and grandchildren. This song is an ode to the innocent people who were forced into the war, to the land that was destroyed, and to the healing still taking place generations later.
