Ballad of courage in a guerrilla insurgency
Bio / Background
"Fire for the Colors" emerged from the composer/lyricists's work on a book about the Kosovo Liberation Army, which tells the personal stories of hundreds of 18-20 year olds who decided to take up guns to respond to the humiliation inflicted by their opressors. The song evokes their competing feelings of hopelessness and determination and their willingness to die for their cause.
For years, no one took them seriously, and called them "bandits," "terrorists," and "kids." But by the time they were done, they had brought down the wrath of the United States and NATO on their oppressors, and won a freedom that their parents and grandparents had only dreamed about.
