Vinyl Nostalgia 
“Army Dreamers” is a song by Kate Bush released in 1980 that captures the grief of a mother mourning her son, who was killed in military service. The song criticizes the senselessness of war and the wasted potential of young soldiers. And here’s another totally subjective choice, because you won’t find this song on any Top list. For me, however, it’s one of the most poignant protest songs. A sparse arrangement, minimalism, acoustic guitar, vocals. All set to a waltz tempo.
“In ‘Army Dreamers,’ I wanted to tell the story of a mother who lost her son—I wasn’t writing about war, but about emotions. It’s a song about grief, about guilt, and about all the ‘what ifs’ that remain after someone’s death.” — Kate Bush
