Yet more #alternateFridayMusic 🎉
and the cue this week is: #vitriol
I'm doubling down on a bonus Oils track because the more I researched this cue, the more the vitriol built up:
Midnight Oil - Blossom and Blood
I'll let these lyrics from 1985 do the talking:
🎶 You the mothers who sent your sons
Wipe away your tears
For those who fought and those who fell
Become our sons as well
You the warriors with your words
Throw away your spears
You talk of times of peace for all
And then prepare for war
All the people with dreams, all the mothers with sons
All the people with dreams never woken at night by the sound of guns
Like a child that's born on a moonless night
Like a child that's born, we parachute down to an unknown fight
This city of blossom and blood
This city suffered more than it should
These sidewalk silhouettes not washed away, not washed away
...
Whatever you've done, whatever you think you've done, whatever you've done
There's a hope in the heart says never again
Never again, whatever you say, whatever you say
It's the price of peace to remember that day 🎶
