Army Dreamers – Kate Bush

Army Dreamers – Kate Bush

“Army Dreamers” is a beautifully written, heart-felt song speaking about the losses of war. I’ve posted this to mark the 100 year anniversary of Armistice Day, the day World War 1 ended a century ago.

A lovely song with a gentle melody, I hope you enjoy playing the letter notes below.
