"Hello Mom I'm Writing You a Letter from Ukraine" - Russian Soldier Song of 2022 Invasion of Ukraine

The sentiments of the lyrics fit right in Ed S's bread and butter. His gentle voice is the perfect fit. This version is early in my lyric edits. I want to go back in and have the AI use my last version, but the interface for that is still really clunky and imprecise. Eventually want to record with live band, so will fix then.

Pop country intro with violin. Pretty cool. OK, so maybe not an exact vocal match to Keith Urban, and he might not have chosen all the vocal notes and inflections in this version, but close, and the energy is spot on.

Deep passion and emotion, sweetest feeling, quiet and fulfilled love, a togetherness so tenderly expressed with a gentle morning smile that says it all without a word
