Wire fences still coiled with flowers of the night
Songs of the birds like hands call the earth to witness
Sever from fear before taking flight

    Diznork, I am truly sorry, you are absolutely right in all you say and I feel deeply ashamed of comments I must have made a long time ago in a very different mood. I unreservedly apologise to both Callexico and you for the wholly unfair and faintly insulting way I wrote. I feel terrible having seen diznork's reply, and will try to remember NEVER to put down a fellow musician in such a way again.

    I feel sorry for "nomoresongs" below. It's a lovely tribute. It may be different than your tributes but give someone else a chance to celebrate their way? You say it's pop but I don't here pop in this song...sorry. I thought it was done by a Hispanic group to be honest. Maybe relax a little and enjoy other artists work. ;-)

    No, I'm sorry, I've tried really, really hard to like this, especially as I double as a songwriter called Brokenjarafingers based on Victor Jara's fate in the Chile stadium where the regime deliberately crushed his hands... but this is just pap, it's nothing to do with protest, it's actually insulting to the great protest songwriter's memory. I'm sorry, but it's downright terrible. And it's made me cry at the sheer idiocy of this being his legacy. Sorry.
