Star Dust


Kappa Sigma commissioned Hoagy Carmichael to write a Sweetheart song for them, and he wrote Stardust. They rejected it, so he released it and it became one of the all time great standards. True story.

Love Jason Isbell Dress Blues as well.


This is what I came to post. Best song I've heard for this generation of soldiers, sailors, and marines.

Man, this thread makes you realize how many amazing songs there are about war. So many good ones mentioned....my favorite is either Masters of War or The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.

Also, here is a newer one that people may not have heard yet, but it is fricking awesome: Ben Harper - I Ride At Dawn
