Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

Lyrics

In honor of Vedran Smailovic, a cellist in the former Sarajevo Opera Orchestra, he played Albinoni's Adagio in Gm for 22 days, one day for each man, woman and child killed when a mortar hit a line of people waiting for bread outside a bakery in the summer of 1992.This song is dedicated to Holly Near, who told me this story.
Speak to me
in Adagio
while the mortars fly
the listening dead
that stood for bread
this bow will heal this sky

a prayer for peace
a prayer for peace
how can I play
how can I play
how can I play
while they bomb 
But how can they bomb
how can they bomb
while I play

Speak to me
in Adagio
while the mortars fly
the listening dead
that stood for bread
this bow will heal this sky

a prayer for peace
a prayer for peace
how can I play
how can I play
how can I play
while they bomb
But how can they bomb
how can they bomb
          
while I play
