The song opens with an almost primitive drum solo from Hughes that seems to give warning to either get in line to fight or find shelter. “Normally that song would just start with a guitar doing that lick,” says Hughes as he describes how Devlin suggested the drum into to the song providing a tribal feel and emulating a bodhran, a traditional Irish drum.
“The English essentially put these armed forces into Ireland that were basically told, do what you want, just go and wreak havoc and they did. Of course with the Ukraine crisis we’ve been dedicating the song to the Ukraninain people because again, they’re innocent and they're being tortured and blown to smithereens.”
When asked if any part of him taps into his personal experiences of cultural history while performing this powerful song Devlin says wholeheartedly, “Personally when I play it’s strange, I’m so grateful to be able to play this stuff and take it into a new category.
