The King's Shilling

[@denisbudbud]

This voice is so sweet and musical. And having met Karen in person two times in person, hearing this song brings me tears. Such a beautiful soul. Je vous salue Karen, gourc'hemennoù evit ar sonerezh. A wir galon !

[@paulmurphy3406]

Beautiful voice, singing a sad but beautiful song. Bravo

[@paulmurphy3406]

Absolutely beautiful Karan - bravo to you and the band. ❤

This song is not an anti war song take the kings shilling comes from enlisting in the army or navy of the British Empire

[@HistoryNerd1814]

I also think this isn't a Scottish song

[@whitephos490]

Written by Ian Sinclair from Caithness, Scotland in the 1970s

[@annegor17]

Even if we didn't already know it was written by a Scotsman, you only have to peruse the lyrics (kilt and sporran, Broomielaw - in Glasgow) to know it's origins!

@@annegor17 or because twa, saw, and war all rhyme with each other!

I think that the song takes the direction the singer wants to give it when it's done with his whole soul. This is the case here and then your comment is purely formal, though quiet interesting.

Great song and singer, not a fan of the political preaching though.

[@ADHDlanguages]

So the entire song then? Folk music being political isn't anything new - ever heard of a guitar that says "this machine kills fascists"?

[@David-lu4gq]

I think he's on about the political preaching before the song. About Colonialism being something right wing and so on (Has she not heard of the Soviet Union, as just one example of Leftie colonialism?) Great song though.

We don’t care if your a fan or not she is speaking the truth

[@thegael44]

We give voice to the incomprehensible destruction. If you have no taste for the voices, please leave.

[@finneire2081]

Annoying who comes across your dumbass comment

[@burrelsk]

Beautiful song but her politics is pure shiite. Ruins the setting.
