The song I chose is Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier.
This song is about how both men and women devoted into the war, it was made during the Revolutionary war. Johnny is just a general name for all the soldiers that have to go to war and left their family behind. The song has a folky and country feeling, but also a sense of grief mixed in it. The song tells how women sold their belongings to buy war equipment for the men. And all the leaving, death, and goodbyes, women also suffered a lot during the war.
I would really recommend this song, if your husband left you during a war, especially when his name was also Johnny. Sometimes song sings out your feelings, the feeling you don't know how to describe. These kind of songs help you get over things.
