Belle And Sebastian - i fought in a war, 2000

"This ballad is the opening track from the Scottish Indie Pop band Belle and Sebastian's album, Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant. Despite its title, the tune is not a protest song. Frontman Stuart Murdoch explained in an interview with Uncut magazine that it, "was a personal song inspired by the atmosphere of the short story, For Esmé – with Love and Squalor by JD Salinger."
