So long as the human spirit thrives on this planet, music in some living form will accompany and sustain it and give it expressive meaning.
(Aaron Copland)
I'll add this one to your list of songs...I used to sing/play this at most of my gigs, but it was too depressing to carry on forever. Still, I have a fondness for it:
Two brothers on their way Two brothers on their way Two brothers on their way One wore blue And one wore grey
One wore blue and one wore grey As they marched along the way A fife and drum began to play All on a beautiful morning
One was gentle, one was kind One was gentle, one was kind One came home, one stayed behind A cannonball don't pay no mind
A cannonball don't pay no mind Though you're gentle or you're kind It don't think of the folks behind All on a beautiful morning
Two girls waiting by the railroad track Two girls waiting by the railroad track For their darlings to come back One wore blue, and one wore black
One wore blue, and one wore black Waiting by the railroad track For their darlings to come back All on a beautiful morning
One wore blue, and one wore black Waiting by the railroad track For their darlings to come back All on a beautiful morning

Two brothers on their way
One wore blue
And one wore grey
One wore blue and one wore grey
As they marched along the way
A fife and drum began to play
All on a beautiful morning
One was gentle, one was kind
One was gentle, one was kind
One came home, one stayed behind

Waiting by the railroad track

All on a beautiful morning
Thank you for this, Tara.
