From/da Songs For Change

"Liza Mulholland is based in Inverness. Her song was inspired by the scale of killing in Iraq which made her think about Eric Bogle's anti-war anthem, Green Fields of France/No Man's Land, and 'how, ninety years on from the First World War, we have the same old utter horror and futility of war, with its terrible loss of young life on both sides, supported by the same old lies and platitudes from right-wing politicians.'"
