blood and soil

[// The title refers to the Nazi party's ideology: for blood and soil. Obviously the song isn't meant to be Nazi propaganda one way or the other; I just have always had a strange fascination with the way a small group of minds held sway over so many, and how it influenced so many facets of our everyday life, both domestically and foreign. This song also marks a big step for me: I swore I'd never have solos in my songs, because I felt like they were so out of place in the things I wrote. Also, I just hated the fact that every time I played an open mic, the guy who did the coolest solo won. That always pissed me off. Cocky prick. Anyway, enjoy! //]
