Another Poppy Celticy Song

Admittedly these things are easy as hell to write, all you need is a cliche harmonic progression and some good acoustic guitar fingering, a few bagpipes and an acoustic bass, plus a little fiddle solo, you can't possibly go wrong...but still...it's a nice little tune. Btw there's a little moment of dissonance in the fiddle solo, you'll definatly hear it, it's a "blue" second in a major scale, just saying that's on purpose.

I'm also posting the lyrics for this one, I write lyrics for most of my vocal melodies (Represented by the cello in this case), I just never post them because I don't think they're appropriate. These lyrics are definatly Universal, all you need is immunity to cheesy love songs.

My love
I have crawled from the barracks
To hold your hand again

I have walked for miles
I have cried for years

But at last
My love I'm home

Your peace of mind
Flows through your pale lips

Your heart it swells
It beats like their drums

God Lord
The war is far from over
Let them all be damned

Never gave a care
To anything but you

Oh At last
My love I'm home

Your peace of mind
Flows through your pale lips

Your heart it swells
It beats like their drums

Oh Lord forgive me for leaving
My good senses brought me back to you

Your peace of mind
Flows through your pale lips

Your heart it swells
It beats like their drums

I have to say the guitar part was well written, I assume you performed it yourself? The main problem I had with this was the awkward sounding Fiddle/Cello. Well, that's all I feel like commenting on right now...
