Alphabet Music Meme - V is for Victory
Nov. 6th, 2015 01:58 pmV is for Victory – The Victory – Steeleye Span (Storm Force Ten)
Another Steeleye Span song, but this one – thankfully – is not earworming me. It is from the group's early days – originally recorded in 1977 – but I discovered it on their best-of album, Portfolio.
Anyway, it's typical Steeleye Span – a somewhat traditional sounding song about a young woman who's lost the man she loved to war, in this case, the Napoleonic wars – and the song's title refers to Admiral Nelson's flagship, The Victory and the Battle of Trafalger.
