This is a song about the view of WW2 RUSSIAN soldier as the German invade Russian. Inspired by One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.

One stage before
Can’t believe this song isn’t on the list! Year of the cat got me into the door to loving al Stewart, one stage before closed the door behind me permanently. Such great production, astounding arrangements, haunting vocals and spine chilling effects. Truly captures the notions of haunting loneliness into infinity.
