Soldiers sign up for being targets. Innocents don't.
As the war crimes being committed in Ukraine become more and more documented, songs like last week's Music Friday post continue to play in my head.
I shared this song a couple years ago in a listing of songs that often bring a tear to my eye...but it wasn't the featured tune. That changes today.
On this Music Friday, we offer Uriah Heep's version of "Come Away, Melinda," a heartbreaking lyrical conversation between a father and his young daughter in the aftermath of war. The late David Byron pulls off the anguish in this song by singing the daughter's part high and then dropping an octave for the father's response.
And, like Melinda, we all are asking, "Why can't things be the way they were before the war began?"
End this War.
