| A. A. Bondy – American Hearts Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| @[recklessrachelx:7070] Well, coming from the small town in upstate NY where he recorded and wrote the song, I have to say, I was surprised the story behind the song was not more publicly known as it was up here. A 20 year old boy from up here joined the army after September 11, as many people did feel a patriotic calling to service. He fought in the campaign and went back to Afghanistan after seeing what was happening over there. Back at home his sister was a strong anti-war advocate. There was this split in the town over the two ideologies that ran through the family and the town. He was captured and killed in battle in Afghanistan and later his sister took he life. They were both buried at sea. | |
