Musician/songwriter Born in England, grew up in N.Y. and now live in Florida. ENJOY!
Hans Boos RIP 1966-2019 I moved songs my brother Hans and I wrote to a separate song page. I will be adding more. If anyone wants to hear a cool vocalist, killer drummer and bass player go visit assortedpeople. Thanks. Lee Boos Project I am a 63 year old musician/songwriter, collectively writing progressive, alternative, soft and southern rock songs for at least 45 years. Between my Brother Hans and I we have written close to 300 songs. Hans recently passed away but he seems to show up in the form of some of the drum and bass styles that I have written into my latest songs. Thanks Hans, I miss you. RIP. Besides music, I am an avid golfer holding a 3 hdc. I work in the pro shop at Coral Oaks golf club in Cape Coral, Florida. I am currently semi- retired. Whoever visits, I hope you will enjoy my music. Here is a little more background. I dropped out of music for a bit in order to re group and become inspired by life and family. But let the truth be known, my Brother Hans has been the driving force in my rekindling the flame and fire in my belly. We went about 2 to 3 years without any means to record songs until recently. Hans built a new home studio. As I sampled his music the fire grew in me and I too, put together another home studio. I have gone the DAW, digital audio workstation, interface and midi. Hans had continued with a 32 track digital console up until he passed away. Both studios seemed to produce beautiful music. More about Lee and Hans P.S. my brother Hans wrote this upcoming part of the Bio back in 2006 when we joined soundclick. He was a funny guy and always acted like the younger brother that he was. so I'm not going to edit this much! Lee Sommers(Name de la stage)has been playing guitar since right about when they invented it... We think he played the first "rock" guitar - in that it was built out of stone. Hans Von Bous(name de la bullshitta es la staga)Has been playing several instruments for many years. For years they have played music together and have written hundreds of songs. They would sometimes be the entertainment at family get togethers, etc... Lee being the elder brother had musical experience first and was an inspiration to his younger brother, Hans. Lee played in a band called Mountain Ash and jammed guitar at home sometimes, playing the acoustic and singing John Denver and such. Hans joined in with harmonies and started playing drums on a banjo skin. Later the kit grew to paint cans, bass drums, snares, and other household percussion objects. Lee's guitar playing talent progressed along with the piano and Hans picked up other instruments along the way, Bass and drums Later on became quit the guitarist as well. They both put together what they could eventually both contributing renditions of several instruments, voicings, styles, etc... Favorite spot? N.Y.C. however they live in sw. Florida now. 1997-2019 SoundClick Inc.

Lyrics
SPOILS OF WAR by Lee Sommers Boos can you hear the thunder can you hear them cry charging toward the enemy we've got to wonder why damage to the landscape damage to their souls murder on the battlefield no one to fill the holes all that we can dream all that we may know vanished in just a flash it's taken all away defending home and freedom what's the cost it's a right we know but life is lost war knows no boundaries it moves across the land a ghost where soldiers stood life turned to sand all that we can dream all that we may know vanished in just a flash it's taken all away war is done you think there can't be more years of pain and suffering here comes the spoils of war buried in the earth below a mine that didn't blow take the life of a young child too innocent to know

A great powerful sound here Lee. War is madness. Why on earth do we need even bigger Atom bombs. There's enough of those insane bombs to destroy the world dozens and dozens of times. Great guitar sound on this tune. Good lyrics. An altogether fabulous production.

Unfortunately history tells us that mankind will never learn. I really enjoyed this. Thought provoking lyrics over a super track. The guitars are excellent. Great feel to it. Superb!

Great guitar sound on this one. It may be a bit dark, but it goes with the territory.. Very fine lyrics, that say it like it is. I really like the line "damage to their souls". PTSD is another "gift" for soldiers, crippling their minds. Nice bridge, compelling beat. Everything in its' right place in a wonderful, meaty production. Love it!

Like Rodz and Kath have said, this is a fitting soundscape about the perils, or as you say "Spoils of War" - cool but dark prog rocker!

The dark vibe definitely suits the subject matter. The lyrics say it all - the sad results of the human thirst for conflict. Well crafted song that paints a very vivid picture. Excellent track!
