No matter what else happened, he told himself, he had to try to set right those things about his father that still ate at his heart. Until then, he'd never be free anyway.

Set it Right

2.10: Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot

Another crime that we did not get a full recording of this. It's just perfect and fits so well into the scene. Something TURN does extremely well in my opinion.

My Son John

2.08: Providence

Caleb is insanely iconic here. The Irish folk song goes by many names including "Mrs. McGrath", "My Son Ted", and a lot of others. Interesting enough, Caleb wouldn't have been singing this. As the story of the song takes place during the Napoleonic wars. Where a woman's son joins the British Army and returns missing a leg after battle. Since then it's been heavily associated with anti-war sentiments and was often sung by Irish volunteers during World War 1.

And here is one of my favorite recordings of the whole song

Ye Banks and Braes O' Bonnie Doon

2.03: False Flag

I've said it before multiple times, but this is just such a beautiful cover of this song. For a refresher, the song is based off a true story of a woman who was seduced and then abandoned, in essence, a story of betrayal.

Which makes the scene where it opens so powerful, where Washington sets the letter on fire before slamming the table in anger. The betrayal of generals and the way Ben "violated the law and committed treason" (in Sackett's words). It works so well before switching to the Woodhulls.

The way Richard looks to Abe after learning he's 'spying' for Hewlett in New York. I wouldn't say it's betrayal, but very much a sense of deception that Abe kept this from him.

Set it Right

2.10: Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot

"Mama take the wool out from your eyes" just has so many meanings to go with it in the scene. Ben learning that Washington believed him all along but kept the plan in secret. (Which don't do that to your head of intelligence). You have Washington having a renewed faith in Ben. Obviously Lee's plot falling apart as Washington sets the battle right. And even more so, Washington later on setting the record right with Ben after multiple episodes of conflict between them.

To add on, the tone of the music is very 'American.' In a sense that when you hear it, you just think America. Lots of open fifths, a lot of strings, but used in a more 'rustic' sense, especially in the beginning. And then the tone of the singer's voice. I am in no means have knowledge of vocal performance so if this is wrong, let me know.

And then it ends perfectly with the surrender/Washington theme as we see the patriots celebrating and fading out with Washington.
