Going Home — текст песни (Randy Newman)

This is a World War I song. World War I fascinates me because
it was such a shock to the world. Nothing before or since has
come close. It was a horrible, horrible event. It was modern
weaponry and cavalry and then tanks. They fought for four years
over a hundred yards, some ridiculously small amount of ground.
It`s the stupidest event in history.

This is one of those songs that I just can`t sing - it`s
right in one of the cracks in my range. So we did it to approximate
what a recording of that era would sound like. I know Mitchell`s
going to get blamed in some review for using all these effects,
but we did it because I simply can`t sing the thing.
