Who wasn't affected by watching the Tianenman Square saga pan out. I was just mucking around in my studio playing a PC game when the concept shaped itself into words in my mind and thence almost automatically into the stanzas of the song. | |||
Also sometimes titled as 'Tianenman Square' or by its various spellings'. | |||
written just subsequent to the events depicted and largely from the speech Prime Minister Bob Hawk gave to the nation. Later I was shown an 'eyes only' transcript of an eye witness account which described exactly what I had put into the song - hardly a word has been altered since writing the song with the exception that a week or so later I wrote the final verse to include the oppression in Tibet which I had always appalled me. | |||
This mp3 is from a recorded version of the song found on Graham Dodsworth's 'In Our Time' CD release Graham Dodsworth - arrangement, vocal & guitar |
