Notes
Body Of War is an intimate feature documentary
about 25-year-old Tomas Young,
who was paralyzed from a bullet to his
spine while serving in the U.S. Army in
Iraq. His story about dealing with his
disability and finding his own unique and
passionate voice against the war so
moved Eddie Vedder that he wrote the
song “No More” for the film. That song
headlines the 2-CD set Body Of War:
Songs That Inspired An Iraq War
Veteran, a musical anti-war statement
that spans genres and generations, from
country to punk, hip-hop to Modern Rock.
“The songs collected here are the
sounds that have helped to inspire me and
keep me going as I struggle to find the
strength to deal with my new physical
limitations while trying to find the energy
to fight when many parts of my body and
brain are telling me to stop.… Each song
you hear you’re hearing because I found a
meaning in it that helped focus a number
of emotions and turn them into something
that I hope will ultimately be positive.”
(Tomas Young)
