A fantastic song, it will be analyzed for years to come. Does anyone else appreciate the intertextuality to Wilfred Owen as an example?

What a great song

❤❤❤❤❤❤

What a sad beautiful song.u were a genius

And yet the men glorified as heros caused the deaths of so many Napoleon Alexander the Great Ghengis Khan and so on Where are the memorials to the peace makers those who nuture the people ???

Finbar will be raging! Not right

Fantastic song, fantastic band!

My wife and I had breakfast with Eric and John in Rotherham the morning after seeing them live, what a surprise, we had booked into the B&B not knowing 🥰 and he signed The Dreamer album I bought. Fantastic artists and decent human beings 😎

As a German: NEVER AGAIN WAR ‼️‼️

The memory of D Day, 6 June 44, passed yesterday 6 June 24, and was gone except for the bloody sacrificial altars of dark grey stone called a memorial in our town and cities to the dead, that we should remember (Everyone and All) as the glorious war and the glorious peace that memorials to who them, or even the fallen before therm and no doubt to those to will fall thereafter for a peace that still means war to keep the peace.

It is also performed as "The Green Fields of France".

The best anti war song ever !

I've lost count of the number of times ive listened to this beautiful song tearsh every tlime

What a beautiful, emotional song. Our heroes won't be forgotten.

Every version of this song I've listened to referred to it as Green Fields of France.

My two Grandfathers fought in suvla Bay, the Somme, yepys. Both came home. Eric Bogle really sums it all up in his songs just like you feel you was there with the diggers. Brilliant really

Fantastic song 💘

War solves nothing, never has, never will yet the craziness goes on...

So deeply sorry for your loss. 😢

Simply the greatest anti war song ever written.

A wee fact for brits born in Scotland. 24% of the military deaths in WW1 were Scots from less than 10% the UK population. Now are you still so proud of being a brit/English.

what a great song. Tears on my face. Also thank you Emma for your great Violine!

I have absolutely loved this song as sung by Ed Trickett of Bok,Trickett, and Muir and have played it over and over, many times one time right after the other. Now I discover this phenomenal performance by the writer and love this as well as the other. The fiddle especially, with the perfect, understated beauty adds so much! She never tries to make it all about her part. Does anyone know who the fiddle player is?

Eric I absolutely love the songs you wrote. War is so senseless and there never any true winners ! If it was like in the Crusade Times where the kings and the presidents and their MP's and congress' etc all lead the troops into battle you would never see another war . But unfortunately that will never happen. Just like in Vietnam it was mainly the poor kids who fought it. And a very large majority of blacks compared to their percentage of the population. I have friends and family on that wall in DC. Kinda like the corona scamdemic! How many big shot politicians died from that bio weapon ?????

Spence I will always think of you when I hear this version. Rest well brother! 6th RAR Long Tan

brilliant ❤❤❤❤

Great, thank you, Eric! ♥

this has to be one of my favourite anti-war songs ever

Gods all bless this man and this song

Copied often - never bettered. I was surprised to find recently that the chorus appears to be lifted from a 1965 Johnny Cash song Street of Loredo. Going further back, apparently the tune originated as a late-eighteenth-century Irish ballad about a dying soldier who regretted his unruly ways. Then beat the drum slowly, play the Fife lowly. Play the dead march as you carry me along. Take me to the green valley, lay the sod o'er me I'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong

Beautiful song. I learned not long ago that my great, great uncle 'joined the great fallen of 1916' from wounds he sustained on the first day of the Somme. He was lost to the family for many years until my uncle discovered him while doing some family-tree research. Thankfully he is now remembered and my uncle travelled to France to put flowers on his grave.

This is song should be the anthem of today's anti-war movement.

I first heard this song as a student in Canada on Remembrance Day. It was on the radio in 1984. Never forgot it but never knew the title. Searched for it years later using remembered lyrics and so grateful to have found it. Beautiful and haunting.

They are cloning people.

The real holocaust

Frightening truth about war

Fought in the Angolan War in the 80's. Of British blood. Brings tears to my eyes

The voice, the lyrics, the emotion. We never acknowledge the true costs of war. And we never acknowledge who actually benefits from war, and they just go on to enjoy their riches gained by the blood of the men.

Absolutely Fantastic. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Stop tears in my eyes

😢 hier in Deutschland gibt es von diesem lied die unglaublich gute Version Übersetzung von Hannes Wader" es ist an der Zeit" Hannes singt es auch der deutsche Text ist genauso berührend wie der Text des Originals❤

As an soldier inte been trough two wars.. And i'm crying like an Child. We are all fooled..

300,000 people died at the Battle of the Somme. That's about the population of Irving, CA (or Cincinnati, OH). In one battle, which was tactically inclusive and had virtually no effect on the outcome of the war. 😞

Wonderful song, though I think the fury's version is the best ever ❤

I've lostcount of the number of times I've watched this clip. Tears every timr!

I wish they hadn’t answered the call and defend their country. We, the people, are tired of the sick imaginings and fantasies of politicians and businessmen, who believe that they can gain (wealth, prestige, land) by killing others. Politicians and leaders, if you desire war so much, take place on the front, it removes your veil of romanticism instantly. We gain nothing from violence, fear or hatred but more violence, fear and hatred. If we are to end war, we must stop listening to those who send us there in the first place. We, the people desire peace, and nothing but peace. Earth is the only place in our solar system where we can breathe. Let us breathe together instead of suffocating each other, share the air and land equally. We may appear in many shapes, colours and forms, but we all have a beating heart that longs for happiness. This is the only call we will answer.

Apparently 'no man's land' is a stretch of land that has been disputed on and off for 1000 years. JESUS CHRIST! They don't learn! They don't learn at all!

Our family were cannon fodder for the people who sent our grandparents to there death or survived and was mentally scared due to the hororors they seen but they were sll heroes and i stand and take my hat of to them as they are people who gave us our freedom 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Makes me cry every damn time i hear it.
