Computers are making more of the things Phil Ochs would've liked to have seen happen possible. Trust me its not as "cold" as you might think. ;)

Please check out my Playlist of the meaningful music we grew up on. Music made before computers took over and made it cold and digital. Music with words that are even more relevant than ever before. Thank you for posting so much!

"Universal Soldier" was written by Buffy Sainte-Marie...a complex song. I don't think Ms. Sainte-Marie meant it as a detriment to the soliders, but to war in and of itself. If you want to hear about leaders sending us into war, listen to "Master Of War"/Dylan. He damn sure got it right back then and still does.

He has such weird tempo changes, I like it, just hard to follow sometimes.

The lyrics of this song are wonderfully well written, in so many different ways. The singer's perspective as The People or a sort of universal soldier makes this song about more than just protesting war - it describes humanity's moral growth.
