Yes, indeed.

Certainly is.

Yes, I am totally aware. Thank you for your comment!

Thank you.

Thank you, and of course thank you to Kane Pixels too.

Ironic. I needed to translate your message. I find Google translate very useful. Thank you for the comment.

It speaks to all of us.

Thank you!

Thanks

Thanks!

Sounds like it! Very catchy counting song.

Thank you

Hi Riccardo. It certainly is a soul stirring song. Getting people to feel patriotic before battle, I guess. My source for this music is an American publication: Heart Songs, Melodies of Days Gone By. The copyright date at the front of the book is 1910. The song is on page 168 to 169. There is no credit given to either composers or lyricists so my assumption is that it was in public domain when the book was published. The sheet music in the book is written for piano recital. There is no intro, bridge between verses or outro either. I construct those by using a few bars at the start and end of the written music. Unfortunately it doesn't have the Italian language version of the lyrics. You may be able to find the Italian lyrics on line. I did a search and came up with this: "Brothers of Italy": The dates mentioned would coincide with the time period. It seems this song was used up to WWI. I was easily able to translate to Italian, via Google translate, but of course it was meaningless to me. www.quirinale.it/page/inno_en

Thank you.

Colonial Ballad

Well said. Human emotions basically haven't changed, despite all the new contraptions and conveniences that we now enjoy. Cheers.

Thank you Mark. Like all folks, the composer must have been wondering how to define what is meant by "Love".

Thank you Circuit Works.

Someone apparently really likes their tobacco, or is it about a girlfriend?

@@AlanThompsonsSongsofBygoneEras no whats the voice

@@Mr.LiamsGamingRules Hi, That'd be my voice!

@@AlanThompsonsSongsofBygoneEras actually?

@@AlanThompsonsSongsofBygoneEras you had to have slow it down.

I obtained the sheet music for this song from a book of music for children compiled by John Farmer.

Thanks. Enjoy.

Thank you!

Thank you

Hi, Thanks for your comment. Which songs are you referring to?

@AlanThompsonsSongsofBygoneEras oh I meant that some of them and their instruments sound similar yet the lyrics are great I enjoy them keep up the great work

@@HgreqtThanks. LOL. You have noticed that I am not very creative in terms of instrumentation. I use an old acoustic metal string guitar for all of the songs, and get the music from old piano sheet music. I purchased the sheet music about 20 years ago from second hand book stores and opportunity (charity) shops.. The sheets were printed over a hundred years ago. My procedure involves recording very slowly (15 beats per minute) several tracks very slowly, related to the lines provided in the sheet music. Then next procedure is heavy editing to get the instrumental version before singing the words and dubbing yet another track. There is another aspect too, though, some of the songs are different poems accompanied by older tunes. This aspect has resulted in me getting copyright warnings from KZbin, because some of the modern artists that use old tunes to sing their own new lyrics have their own copyright on the songs they produce. Quite understandably. I simply delete my rendition and put up another song that is not affected.

Mmmm, interesting.

Yeah, I like the scenery created by trees, especially those in the natural environment.

Fast!

Pending doom perhaps. The complete song goes on to say that the happy newly weds and their ship and crew sinks.

@AlanThompsonsSongsofBygoneEras oh okay thanks

Thank you. Appreciated!

Thank you.

An old time ballad, which most likely used a simple tune accompaniment to poetry verses.
