OP4 months agoI’m quite stunned at the powerful entries here. This ranks - for me - as a theme that has drawn incredible songs. I have only listened briefly to some of the songs here, but I will be revisiting them again.
In the end, it’s a classic that has taken the win with 5 votes: twyngwyn, with Beds are burning. Congratulations, twyngwyn - and thank you to all. I could in all truth have given a helpful to every song here, but refrained as that would have made me feel silly. 😔🤦
