Hi everyone, WAR was written about the children in war zones. I stayed away from the topic, thinking that anything I offered would be drowned in all the noise of war related works. Then, when people got in touch with me, and said “Suzie, you have to do a song about this, you need to.” They sent me a link to a doco on Foreign Correspondent about the children in Gaza.
I haven’t ever written something so important, I knew that I had to get this right. With initial vocals and arrangements, I knew I hadn’t yet, I had to try again, and again. We all do, I know!
I’m so glad that I listened to my gut feeling, I had to make this completely differently. I had to let myself feel so exposed by going with a genre I had no experience in.
