Al Stewart - Roads to Moscow

Al Stewart in 1978

[@colinandpattyhowie2887]

Excellent blend of lyrics and musical emotional sounds. Gifted musical/lyrical rendition. The sadness, despair, war hell, and endless futility while each and every soldier and families are dragged through the brutal violençe and wreckage.

Being 16 and knowing of Al Stewart's existence sucks because others won't enjoy this beautiful piece of music.

What a GREAT song. Al Stewart is a genuine student of history.

a very underrated singer song writer who has written some of the best songs ever .

[@TessaCoker]

Probably my favourite Al song!!

[@rednhrailroad]

I heard that song once a million years ago; once, but I got it or most of it. I've been looking for it ever since and found it tonight. I'll play it over and over. My father was in the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) ground crew during WWII in the Soviet invasion and surrendered to the US Army. My grandfather was a civilian German scientist and forced to labor in the Soviet Union for five years after the war. I was born in Germany. We went to Canada. I was a Cold War American Soldier in Germany along the Fulda Gap in 1976-'78 and served 37 years in a couple of wars, now 62 y.o. and a grandfather, cop, barber etc. War is cruel and evil waste of resources and lives.

I love this song

[@donwarnick1089]

Remember when music was made by true artists with more to give than some one hit wonder computer generated fashion show junk

[@williamfreigang9072]

just goes to show how intelligent al stewart is. this is basically a song detailing the entirety of the World War Two Russian campaign of the germans, via the eyes of a Russian soldier.

[@kevinindublin]

Happy 69th to Al :)

[@johnstatter7694]

Isn't it the back story to Solzenitzensyn's character Ivan Denisovich who fights for Russia and then gets thrown into a gulag by Stalin?

Those Ovations sound horrible.
