Dick Wagner shares his personal
comments on JERUSALEM:
"The old saying that 'War is Hell'
is abundantly true for any age in any theater of
battle. The familial dynamic of a mother taking
pride in her child in uniform, and the warrior going
into battle, is a scene repeated through time
immemorial. Soldiers fight in the desert, in the
mountains, in the trenches, in the jungles, and at
sea, standing beside their brothers and sisters,
with the pride of serving found in the heart of
every soldier. This song speaks to the many and
varied battlefields of our shared histories.
JERUSALEM is very special to me, as it took
years from the moment I conceived the music, until
the night I finally found the words and emotion to
finish the song. I always loved the musical
structure, but it was ten years of reflection on the
pride and dedication of the universal soldier,
before the narrative of this song was born."
