The Glorious Dead

Hi all. I've been working on a backing track that is inspired by the idea of glorifying the dead who fought to secure victory. This seems fitting with Remembrance Day coming very soon. When I started scratching out ideas for my very first IML track I had been thinking about a rather more tense and energetic composition that was more along the lines of the thrill of battle. I couldn't manage to make that work though, and before long this idea took over. It is a layered guitar ballad in a major key (E) and could probably work as a love song (eyuck). But no. It's not a love song, okay? It's about dead soldiers. It's somewhat triumphant without (I hope) sounding pompous or pretentious. It is a work in progress, but the basic elements are there. Working title, The Glorious Dead.
