Hey Mister

Comments left for you on SoundCloud, my friend, but the short of it is, I loved it and it's Righteous. To me, it's your poem (or song - I prefer to call it a song as you accompanied your words with your guitar). It's what Tyson7 wrote in his reply to one of my posts: PASSIONATE! It's my opinion that only you can improve it and you should keep it and not turn it over to "someone else".

I do not mean that someone else shouldn't cover it - not at all. I consider a cover a "compliment" and you certainly deserve that. An awesomely written and performed work, Pete.

EDITED: Due to extraneous words changing the meaning of what I intended to say. Sometimes I want to say one thing, realize it reads wrong, but forget to take it out. This is what happened here. The words were "too much" and referred to Joe's comment about passion. Thanks

Your Friend

Bill

Peatle,  thought provoking and very much a subject many these days are pondering and questioning.  Well done and i like the way you have put it to music

Thank  you Tenement for that link interesting reading. Nothing in life is straight forward and the reasoning around actions taken by people in war is always  going to be  complex. I guess at times individual  sense of destiny drives one to sacrific life.

Your song and the words tell the story. It is unique and thought provoking. The protest songs from another time period did not have suicide bombers to worry about.

Honestly I've had that conversation myself....you want to know why? Not just why the guy is happy to kill him/herself but why kill possibly hundreds of innocents?
Yes we all know the Japanese had harakiri pilots, the Italians had manned torpedos. And every country have soldiers willing to sacrifice themselves to save others. But they killed combatants not the innocents and that was during wartime not when we think we are at peace.

The god of Islam just like Jesus preached peace and love not violence. It's man's greed for money and power that has killed millions not to mention the biggest killer.... religion!

Returning to the subject; well written and delivered, I haven't had a chance to listen yet, but I promise I will.

Great work my friend, as usual.

there lies the irony the god of islam and the god Christianity are one in the same, . having spent 4 years working in Iraq I  made some good friends and learned a lot about the people and religion. it was an eye opening experience for a red neck like me. the story of Jesus is in the koran they believe in the virgin birth the difference being they believe Jesus to be a prophet and not the son of god. you will also find the stories noah, Jonas , Moses and others  there. I have my own opinions on why some of them do the things they do but it is way to complicated to go into in a post here. I will say this, many of my Iraqi friends  ask the same questions as stated in Peatles song.
