Name: Chess With Peter by Wayfarer DG
Duration: 3 min 39 s
Description: Although inspired by the novel "Cage Of Souls", I found myself reflecting on chess games with my Uncle Peter... As far as my Aunty knew, these games were the only times he ever reflected on his experience as a POW (he was captured by the Japanese army in the second world war). He was a mild and gentle Scot, but his chess was brutal!

Excellent work. And great description to go with it.

Harriet Tubman

Verse 1:
She was a master of a woman
Who brought many to Freedom
Risked life and limb in the pullman
Of the Underground Railroad to Freedom



Chorus:
Be Free, be free, Be Free, be free, freeeee
Be Free, be free, Be Free, be free, freeeee

Verse 2:
From down South to Philadelphia
Conducting slaves to freedom’s area
Freedom
Risking her life for others
Men, women, and children’s mothers

Chorus 2:
Harriet, is free, so free
Harriet is free, so free
Freeee

Bridge:
70 people brought to freedom
In 13 missions
Moses never left anyone behind
She followed
The abolitionist network

Verse 3:
During the civil war
She didn’t avoid the gore
The first female to lead an assault 
A nurse, spy, and cook
At least according to the book

Leading the Combahee Ferry Raid 
in South Carolina


Chorus 3:
Freedom on the Underground Railroad
Freedom on the Underground Railroad
Harriet Tubman brought
Freedom on the Underground Railroad
Harriet Tubman brought
Freedom on the Underground Railroad


Unused Lyric ideas:
Along the railroad
Risking her life



Timing description:
This song is in 5/4 time.
The versus change on the 1.
The first half of the choruses change on the 3, the second half of the choruses change on the 2.
The bridge changes every two measures.  It changes first on the 2 (C-F), then the 3 (B- F#) and then the 4 (Am-Dm), then the 5 (G-C).

I loose my mind when I stay up all night... Why is this so damn long?

It Will Never Stop

I've been on Soundcloud for six years now and it's been great exploring the work of other artists.  There is so much generosity of spirit on this platform, it's just what you need when most of your music is made solo. 

I started out playing classical and Spanish guitar, then took up flamenco to ease myself away from the confines of musical notation. As a result, Latin rhythms often creep into my music. 

A friend introduced me to steel string and electric guitars just a few years ago and I still find the scope they bring dizzying... but what fun!
