Trenches, trenches, in these trenches,
Liveless corpses releasing deadly stenches,
Trenches like veins of cold, dark blood,
Trenches of soldiers drenched in mud
Soldiers, soldiers, Used to parade
Soldiers killed by gas, by grenade
Soldiers whose lives now put on the line
Soldiers the brave hearts, pure and divine
War, war the darkest of hours
War armies kill lives they devour
War armies gathered like cattle
War, the endless battle
Weapons, weapons. Tools of war
Weapons that bore us to the very core
Weapons that make man drop
Weapons. War. The end. Please stop.
Dino Soldo is an extraordinary musician and songwriter, who toured with Leonard Cohen, Ray Charles, Johnny Guitar Watson etc. This is his latest solo record and in my opinion his best up to date. Martin Praetorius
This is my favourite autumn record of all times. Beautiful melodies and heartbreaking lyrics, deliverd by a quite unique and soothing voice. Martin Praetorius
Fiachna Winter Sun just brings me to my knees. The fiddle and flute completely summons my core to the submission of such beauty.
Just played this again after your performance with Tom Dunne and Alan Conner on The Late Late Show. Your energy on the trad song was incredible. Still grappling with a continent and an ocean keeping me at bay with the gigs of humanity being right there in Ireland. Dont Stop! David and Delfina Hernandez
“Write The Soil Lighter” is full of beguilingly mysterious folk-adjacent music, shrouded in shadow and atmospherics. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 30, 2023
