Song of Wardays
by @ayais
Liner Notes
Written for the play All Our Tragic by Sean Graney, being presented in April and May in Bellingham by the Idiom Theater. I'll be in the stage band, named The Odd Jobs, and this song is a counterpoint to the mood coming: a long, bloody, goofy re-enactment of the Trojan War.
Lyrics
Ooh, it starts. Days of war Mark by mark, more by more Death by death, life by life Dark by dark, strife to strife
Wardays, Wardays, Wardays, Wardays An aeon of wardays Passing fair and fiend alike The train will stay on rails Tonight
Bind and blind, take to slaughter A new defile, someone’s daughter Blood is deep, enough to drown Mothers weep, at the sound. Of
Wardays, Wardays, Wardays, Wardays An aeon of wardays Passing fair and fiend alike The train will stay on rails Tonight

Such a gentle reflection on the tragedy of war - sounds like it's coming from a character who has been lost somewhere inside themself.

I like the space in this. The simplicity of the playing against heaviness of the words too.

I really like it! That's so cool that you're writing a play! I hope it does well for you!
Thanks!

That's a pretty mellow-sounding war. I'm really liking the minimal guitar; you always come up with the best and most appropriate guitar lines. Ah, gosh, yeah, the meaning of this song creeps up on you like a Trojan Horse (see what I did there?!?). Lovely.
