Poor the War Away

Karl Blau

Album: Out Her Space (2017)

Lead single "Poor The War Away" finds him castigating mankind for its addiction to the futility of warfare over lush, interstellar country guitars and keyboard purrs. War seems like it may be here to stay, but Blau refuses to give into despair, holding out hope that we can break the cycle. ("People need hate in their souls/like they need a hole.")

2012 Version

Album: Songles

This was yet another attempt at the lyrics of this song. I feel like it's going to have many, many lives maybe before it really finds itself. I'd like to rewrite them now to speak more directly about the affects of war which we seem so distant from here in the U.S.A.

Let me know if you figure out any good usable verses for this song, we'll do a duet.
