Informations

The complete title of this song is actually ‘Nobody Wins When Somebody Dies’. It is a political song a little innocent and general, to condemn wars, murders and even the nuclear fear.
It actually is one of Neil’s earliest songs; but, unlike the others (‘The Power’, …) this one was recorded and released on his first demo, October 1st. Anyway, it is a well structured song, with verses, a chorus, a beginning, an end and a nice A minor, F, C, E chord progression [1].
