Labour of Love Remembrance Day Tribute

Hi Everyone,

I've been looking for places to get in touch with veterans and soldiers in order to pay my respects and honour for Remembrance/Veterans Day. Last year I was fed up with all the easy-peace rhetoric here in Canada and wanted to write a song that gave full force and honour to soldier's and their sacrifice. The song is called "Labour of Love" and it's track 7 on my new album- Essays and Ear Candy.

I'm also making the song available as a free download for one week. It would be my greatest delight if you would download the song and send it to your fellow veterans and soldiers. Here's the url: http://www.bishopandmulholland.com/drupal/mp3s/07Labour_Of_Love.mp3

Here's the lyrics:

Paint his courage black
Don’t paint it white; it ain’t that nice
Paint his courage red
For the dead that lie by his side

He charges up the hill
With a weapon and a will
And as you march for peace
He’s crawling on his knees
Through the blood of a brother that fell
Cuz someone’s got to pay a price
So that you can sleep at night
He’s got a picture of his kids taped to his lid
It reminds him of why he fights
It’s a labour of love

To those of you here who've fought for the good of country and countrymen- thank you so much. And I"m sorry for all those (especially my peers) who do not honour you in the way we should.
