Back in December 2017 Luke did this live session at Radio NZ
Around the 9:22 mark there is a song called “Before the War” It has not been released anywhere yet but one day we hope it will be. Starts at 9:40 mark. Based on a poem by an Iranian poet called Ardeshir.
Lyrics below
Before the War
Wish you could imagine
Wish you could believe
Some time ago I had a peaceful life
Just like you
Before the war
Just like you
Before the war
I go to work in the morning
I would come home in the evening
You maybe don’t believe that
I belong to some people
Some people belong to me
Just like you
Before the war
I could run, ..could hide
I could do anything
Always felt so happy
I had the deepest feeling of happiness
My eyes were shining believe me
I could see all the colour
Before the war
Just like you
Before the war
Never ever let it happen again
To anybody around the world
Let the people have their peaceful lives
Health, home, family and a love
A feeling of belonging
Is their dream
Just like me
Before the war
Just like me
I wish you could imagine
Wish you could believe
Some time ago I had a peaceful life
