After the War - Peter Breinholt

After the War - Peter Breinholt
4:30
single, 2024
Written by Peter Breinholt

I've never heard of this musician, but he's a recording artist based out of Salt Lake City who's been publishing music since 1993.  I was surprised to learn this, as I thought I heard a faint but distinct German or Nordic accent in his singing.  This song is the homecoming of a soldier at Christmastime, set after some unspecified war.  He is stunned, ebullient at what he sees, the town all covered in white and a choir singing.  It's a story song, an epic, chugging to a triumphant finish punched up with bells and horns.
