Lyrics
They were summoned from the hillside
They were called in from the glen
And the country found them ready
At the stirring call for men
Let no tears add to their hardships
As the soldiers pass along
And although your heart is breaking
Make it sing this cheery song:
Keep the home fires burning
While your hearts are yearning
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining
Turn the dark cloud inside out
Till the boys come home
Overseas there came a pleading
"Help a nation in distress"
And we gave our glorious laddies
Honour made us do no less
For no gallant son of Freedom
To a tyrant's yoke should bend
And a noble heart must answer
To the sacred call of "Friend"
Keep the home fires burning
While your hearts are yearning
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining
Turn the dark cloud inside out
Till the boys come home
Keep the home fires burning
While your hearts are yearning
Turn the dark cloud inside out
Till the boys come home
Turn the dark cloud inside out
Till the boys come home - เพลง
The D Day Darlings have several choirs in different parts of the Midlands and I am proud to be in one of those choirs. We sometimes perform with the Darlings which is wonderful.The reason we exist is to keep the message alive. My Dad was at Dunkirk and later in Africa. He served from the first day of WW2 until the last day of the war. I think of him when I sing these songs. We must not let their bravery be forgotten. We owe them a debt that we can never repay.
Amen🙏
How wonderful ! Thank them from me, my great grandfather was in both wars, I'm 53, he died when I was 13, I never stop missing him.
A classy look that isn't matched today. Beautiful voices, beautiful faces, beautiful song. From a time when it was voices, not videos, that made stars.
This song is over 100 years old but still has as much to say now as then....Well done ladies.
Amen.
My grandfather was in WWI, my uncles were in WWII. I was in Vietnam. It is so lovely to hear these memorials to my brothers, many of whom have fallen. May they all rest in eternal peace, and may I one day join them in honor.
They have used your family for generations to kill, what a cursed nation the US is.
Thank you for your service.
God bless America
Thank you for your service and welcome home. God bless you, brother.
Your survived the uncalled for hell.
Props to you and greetings from afar for your courage and will to live, regardless of the action(s) you had to take in order to achieve such purpose.
Let us recall the actuality of the fact that our predecessors / ancestors are surely expecting us, floating...until our time to unite with the naked truth arrives for us all, once and for all.
My great grandfather WW1, my grand father WW2, my father Korea. My brother Vietnam and me. Iraq. My mother used to sing these songs. God Bless You for keeping them alive! Wish l could give every one of you Darlings a hug from my family and myself. KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB!
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service. God bless you and your family.
Thank you for your service America is like Korea's father
God Bless your entire family and all my thanks and life to them.
i am no english nor Ameircan, but as a Spanish i really thank what allies and especially what british men and women did for the world. God bless them all.
The English was not alone 😑
My God. Made feel like it was 1940. Well done, Lassies. Well done indeed.
My grandmother was a Bletchley code breaker along with her husband. They weren't separated but this reminds me of her because she was smart and stubborn and incredibly determined
My great grandfather worked at Bletchley. He was incredibly smart
My grandmother taught math but when the war started she was drafted as an anti-aircraft officer.
I recently lost my mother ( last year December 16th ) and inherited her " music player ". I found these D Day Darlings on there and now can't stop playing them! I wasn't a big fan of this type of music before but now I'm addicted! Keep up the great work girls ❤️
What a beautiful gift from your mother. I lost mine in November. :(
BRAVO, from the United States. You women and what you do are just as big of heroes over here as over there. A lot of brave men and women from both countries, and others, fought and died to keep us all free.
Lord Rupert if you call 30 mins of googling research, sir I might have to disappoint you here. Would you like to provide some valid sources please?
Bless you Buckaroo
@Lord Rupert if you don't mind can you send me links about the stuff you're taking about? Thank you
Jim Ellis you again...
🤦🏼♂️
Цілком з Вами згоден ! Ці ГАРНІ жіночки чудово співають ! Мені дуже до вподоби їхнє виконання пісень про другу війну. Привіт з УКРАЇНИ !
I know she wasnt british, but my grandmother was a resistance fighter alongside Solveig Bergslien, Norways highest decorated female war hero. They printed the illegal newspaper "Stritt folk" and did many other things. ❤️ Awesome song ! :3
Thank you to all the men and women and horses for our freedom we will never forget u and thank u D Day Darlings for keeping the beautiful music going lest we forget🇧🇪🇧🇲🇨🇦🇨🇵🇩🇰🇨🇿🇪🇬🇬🇧🇬🇷🇮🇪🇱🇺🇳🇴🇵🇱🇷🇺🇺🇸🏴❤❤
This song was composed by Ivor NOVELLO, those who loved "Gosford Park", they easily recognized the melody also played in the movie, without the singing. He composed with the words of American poet Lena Guilbert FORD. I heard it for the first time, while watching "The Duchess of Duke street" series, the Duchess sang it in front of injured British soldiers. Great song and this ladies are so talented.
I will like them to sing "Old Soldier Never Die!
I'm retired US ARMY! When we off to War without knowing if we coming back , all these toughs, memories get amplify in our soul by this type of songs that make me cry because lots of people don't understand how much we sacrificed in order to fight for freedom!. We fight with Honor, Courage, Galanty and Hope and this is always in our mind during the times, that we are away from our families and love ones. We do this because is our duty in order to protect our country and our way of life. But, always think that it could be a better world if we hold hands and help each other regardless our differences in this World!
Greetings from your brothers in Great Britain. Stay safe.
Let's take the time to appreciate the fact that there is a singing group called "The D-Day Darlings" and how amazing they sound.
🇬🇧 I'm German and I had to cry while listen to this song, it is so beautiful and so moving ... Great country, great people, I love you! ❤️
You all lost men too 💗 war is ugly for all sides, once all said and done, we have the same experiences. Hugs from Australia friend! My grandpa fought for England in WWII, survived 2 concentration camps (escaped 1) 💗
I'm glad at least art came through the war with some good vibes still attached that we can all enjoy 💗🇬🇧🇦🇺
Thanks. War is a crime - a useless crime - and WW2 was a multiple crime, I mean what the nazis did. My family suffered very much under this stupid war. I hope this will never happen again. But I‘m not sure - new generations will not know the meaning of war, they only know it from video games...
@@lilarhixiel5505 There is a story of a German WW-2 interrogator (Hans Scharf?) who told of the terrible treatment of the German soldiers who were held in outdoor camps immediately after the surrender. He said in his book that the story would have to be told by another.
It's the attitude of Hitler not a mistake of Germany
@@umee5208 I hope the stinking Nazi Leaders burn in hell forever! Thanx to the British for treating us as humans after the war, for supporting us though you didn't had a lot by you own. I love the rich British culture. E.G. Me and my wife are eager each year for the "Last night of the proms" with "Land of hope and glory" and "Jerusalem". And I love you from the Beatles up to Billie Eilish. You British people belong to me and to my country. I know some British that live in Germany and they are all very fine people. Blessings to you from Martin
Although "The D-Day Darlings" are British, their music is appropriate for all allied troops who served in WW2. None of us should ever forget the sacrifices of the men and women of "the greatest generation" 80 years ago. For that matter, we should never forget the sacrifices of any of our countrymen and women who have sacrificed so much for all of us from the founding of our great country to today. Many of my family members and my wife's have served in the military for many generations going back to 1775. My wife's father was wounded (shot) five times in various campaigns in the Pacific theater during WW2. Her uncle was a pow of the Japanese for four years. The male line(s) on my side (whether grandfather(s) father(s), brother(s), uncle(s) cousin(s), etc.) have served in the US armed services every year since the Revolutionary War to this day. They served with honor to keep and protect our republic and it's people. Very appropriate song for all historical ages. Peace, blessings and, grace to all.
My dad served in WW2 and my great uncle won a silver star in WW1! They are my heroes!
I can tell the same about my family but on the german side. You should not forget lives have been left on all sides at all times.
Greetings from a german
German sad noise
this was a ww1 song, are you also forgetting the hundreds of lives lost during ww1? i think ww1 is actually more significant in its outcome because it was the death of the innocent, think about how many people signed up thinking they were going on a great adventure to be stuck in a disease filled trench, pummelled with Shells and mustard Gas. also, what about the Axis lives lost? are their lives not as important because they fought for the opposing side? nov 11th is British remembrance day, but we don't just remember the lives of the allies, we remember the casualties of War, Civillian or soldier, Axis or Ally, they are all thought of.
Lest we forget those who gave their lives so that we may be free
Angelic! Wonderful! The sacred call of freedom. The sacred bond of friendship.
Thank you, ladies 🇬🇧.
Love from the U.S.A.
🇨🇵🇬🇧🇺🇸
"Though your lads are far away
They dream of home."
This line of the song brings tears to my eyes. It makes me think of my grandpa who flew bombing raids over Europe from North Africa, and what he must have felt.
Those who stayed at home and kept the home together are every bit as important and heroic as those who were called up.
Whether you go, or you stayed, there was a price to be paid.
May we not forget. 2019.
During and after the war; shell-shock was/is no joke; because trauma is proven intergenerational. 💗
I partly disagree.
So there's staying behind and maybe working in a Munitions factory, or staying home watching after the kids.
And then there's dodging mortar shells & 30 cal. Bullets that can shoot through a 12in. Tree trunk and still go through a piece of steel, watching your best friends and brothers getting shot and blown up having their arms, legs or head blown off right in front of you & having to pick pieces of your best friends bones, flesh and brains out of your hair and ears & wash his blood out of your clothes. And then theres the chance you could get captured and become a POW in a German/Italian/Japanese POW Camp and be worked and starved to death and possibly experimented on.
But you're probably right….. Just as heroic HAHAHA
I can just Imagine Bill Burr reading this comment and laughing his ass off!!
The words of an idiot
That was beautiful, reminds us that we MUST NEVER FORGET,my Dad and all my Uncles were away, in different Countries for FIVE YEARS, just to protect us,makes me want to cry even now.
Well done girls makes me proud to be British 🇬🇧 and also remeber and proud of my grandfather who was a pilot in the RAF in WW1 and my dad who served in the, Merchant Navy god bless them all and thank you xxx🙏👏👏👏👏👏
I call them heroes!@Jeremy Brookes
Reminds me very much of my aunt Gertrude, always wearing her hair like that, black fur coat and a string of white pearl across her neck. I missed her very much.
May she rest in peace
I have an old soul .love this music. and wish more women would dress more elegantly .
These beautiful girls know how to show appreciation to the troops. I salute you as well ladies 🌹
@Ian Turner Because its so beautiful
Love the old tunes and your dedication to our veterans around the world. Thank you🇺🇸
They are completely fantastics! Despite my family were at german side in that time, Im a huge fan of them. Congratulation to british people, women and men, and their courage and determination.
1914 to1918 . Great songs from a troubled time ,the last war to end all wars . Thank you .
Keep the Fires Home Burning
They were summoned from the hillside
They were called in from the glen,
And the country found them ready
At the stirring call for men.
Let no tears add to their hardships
As the soldiers pass along,
And although your heart is breaking
Make it sing this cheery song
Keep the Home Fires Burning,
While your hearts are yearning,
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home.
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out
'Til the boys come home.
Overseas there came a pleading,
"Help a nation in distress."
And we gave our glorious laddies
Honour bade us do no less,
For no gallant son of freedom
To a tyrant's yoke should bend,
And a noble heart must answer
To the sacred call of "Friend."
Keep the Home Fires Burning,
While your hearts are yearning,
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home.
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out
'Til the boys come home.
Keep the Home Fires Burning,
While your hearts are yearning,
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out
'Til the boys come home.
Turn the dark cloud inside out
'Til the boys come home.
Even just reading lyrics nearly moves me to tears. 👍
Oooouuuhhh. I´ve just read it.. SO MOVING!!!
@@truck6859 yes
Love them so much they make me cry my father ww11 destroyer lived till 97 was very proud
GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR YOUR LOVE OF COUNTRY AND A MUCH NEEDED REMINDER OF OUR PAST,,EVEN THO WE ARE IN THE ,U,S,A, IT IS ALL THE SAME,,,,,MY GRAND PARENTS WERE FROM THE ''U'' ''K''
Love it, i'm in Cape Town South Africa
(from London, born in 1942) 🤘
Come to America. I'd love to go see you.
Ignore Dennis. They do not live in the U.S. They're a BRITISH group and live and perform mostly in Britain.
@@dennisrainesii9596 No. They don't.
Brilliant girl's thank you for the great memories of these wonderful song's and thank you to our breave men and women for giving us the Life and freedom we have today!!
Imagine you are half way around the world from home. You are on a battlefield or a ship and it's been a very long day. You have access to a morale radio and tune in Voice of America radio and hear these songs.
Absolutely remarkable! I hear nothing but respect and gratitude throughout this entire song. Beautiful voices singing as one. Thank you for sharing your amazing gifts with us!
My mother was one of the first "Women's Division" officers commissioned in the Royal Canadian Air Force. She would have loved this group.
How beautiful! 2024

Thank you
I absolutely love these ladies. Beautiful women wonderful voices, God bless 🙏 them ❤❤
I cry everytime I hear this version or see your bgt performances. So powerful and beautiful and patriotic.
Why am I born as a German? I love this Song so much, have tears in my eyes and I would as well like to be patriotic and proud of my country.
I love Great Britain, the coarse humour, the landscapes from South to North, the People, even their stubbornness, the traditional food, the old cottages, almost everything. My whole life I have to apologize for the monsterous crimes my Country did in WW2. I only want to get along well with everybody. Compliment to a great Country and their great population.
You have nothing to apologise for! Germany’s part in the war was caused by the manipulation of Adolf Hitler, not by the whole country. Germany were greatly mislead in leadership because him and the Nazi’s. It’s them that should apologise, not you
@@jackpowell8307 I didn't expect this really nice answers.
Thank you so much Jack and also Ameno.
Stay healthy!!
Remember the past for if not it may repeat its self and we all know what that would be like, mein bruder Deutsch ist gute
@William Wright William, please stay healthy!! You and your Family!! And when this shit is over we drink some good beer together.
You can and should be proud of Germany! Your country has contributed many great minds, scientists, and musicians to the world. I hope Germany won't only be remembered for those 6 dark years when it has hundreds of years of fascinating history. You shouldn't feel ashamed for something you had no part in.
Beautiful Voices and harmonies ..... Dear songs .... strongly performed ...... and all the morel poignant on this 75th Anniversary of VE day from Lockdown for Corona Virus CV19 ..... which unusual circumstance gives us more of a glimpse into the day to day realities of some aspects of WWII ... and to think that went on for SIX YEARS ...... we've been in lockdown but a FEW WEEKS ..... and with all the comforts of telephones, social media, television, some areas of known safety .......
Who ever disliked this video u r very disrespectful. If it wasn't for the amazing solder 100 years ago us Brits would of never even been where.
God bless you ladies, from an old United States Marine you are awesome! Beautiful and full of class! Oohrah
Just discovered these ladies and they have brought tears to an old mans eyes. I missed the war but was brought up on the diet of this music from mam and dad. Real music
my great grandfather survived a leg injury Italian prison and he was a solider
honestly having headphones with this on is just one of the most intense audio experiences ive ever had....
My salutes and respect to this beautiful ladies.God Bless Then All.
These ladies are great , very well presented .Gives me goose bumps . I love it , so nostalgic.
I bet you could get booked for Viva Las Vagas Vintage/Rockabilly Fair Events 💗 so glad TH-cam recommended this to me! Better late than never, Feb 2020! ☺
I heard this song only in old movies and recordings. I never knew it could be this BEAUTIFUL!
After listening wing n a prayer i cant stop listening to this genre of music
These ladies are great..when i was listening..i could imagine all the men that died that day..so we could live free...bravo to these ladies for what they are doing
Absolutely love you girls.....my nan lost a of guys ....2021 will never forget......xxx
Beautiful song , and special the respect that they show for the soldiers , respect for this Lady's !
This is the sort of patriotic feeling that our politicians have ignored in recent times, and more especially in the last few days when they have totally and utterly failed the democratic decision of a majority, no matter how slight, of those who voted to leave the "ever closer union" of those countries against whom we were and still are fighting, although now only economically (refer to Flower of Scotland for a comparison of this) because they lack the courage and determination of their fathers, uncles, cousins, friends and acquaintances and some female members of their family who stood tall to give us all what we have today.
RIP all those who gave their life to safeguard Britain for the future, especially those from other countries of the Commonwealth and wider world, and most especially the young boys from USA who died storming those almost impregnable beaches on D-Day, yet succeeded. Thank you D-Day Darlings for reminding us all.
I so enjoy The D-Day Darlings. They're the best. Such emotive and lovely tunes. Their voices are so lovely.
I remember learning this song for a student concert for the town to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of ww1 on November 11th. we invited everyone in my town and we stood up on stage and sang classic songs from ww1 such as this, Its a long way to Tipperary, Pack up your troubles in your old kit back and a few more. a lot of the elderly broke down in tears and many of the students. I was 10 at the time and I still have fond memories. my grandma lived through ww2 and her parents were victims of the Blitz so its a very upsetting period for her, She broke down and watching it made me tear up from the stage.
The Elegance on these ladies is phenomenal🤍
Damn this is what I call music here, well done ladies glad I saw this as my recommendations 🇺🇲🇬🇧
I love britain🇬🇧🌹
Gives me chills. Beautiful rendition.
Amazing ladies doing a terrific job at reminding us of the scarifies made on all fronts including the home front.! Brings back some
Pride in our country. And touches the heart so very deeply..!
Keep it up ladies.
Saw these ladies sing at East Kirby Aviation Museum Air Show on 03/08/19 singing under Avro Lancaster Just Jane 😙😚😚👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Many blessings to you all for bringing to us so much pleasure and joy with your beautiful voices! Thank you ❤🌹
Puts to shame what is called music these days. This is beautiful.
it is :) i seldom use a radio anymore , just usb disk. guess this cd will soon be in my collection too. great group
Are you saying there was music in the last five years i just heard a load of racket and metal clanging
Isnt that a bit hypocritical, i mean i myself like classic/old and military music, but i respect everyone's music taste even tho i may or may not like that song they like, there are alot of modern songs that i also like myself such as Hardbass, but alot of people dont like that music genre and i respect that because i cant change someone's music taste, please think about these things before you say such comments.
yep, people forgot the real music...
Exactly, this is real music
Thank You all,
I am reminded of my grandmother and her generation. Her parents left England after WW1 for the states, but stayed in many ways English and so in many ways so was she.
Today so few seem to know what the world was then. To hear it is glorious.
This song makes me think of the UK at war.
A young British girl sits at an open window. Over the bobbing red, white and blue of the Union Jack waving on a flagpole, she looks at the horizon with tears in her eyes. A wilting poppy is being twirled in her fingers. The grey sky is blending red and yellow with the orange sunrise. The rain is slowly stopping. Over the horizon one of the country's heroes, her lover, is fighting for freedom as a soldier in the British Army. The enemy who wants to take away all that they have.
And just as the bullets rip apart flesh of men at war thousands of miles away, her heart is being ripped apart at home. She tries to justify the reason why he is away. She knows that he sacrifices for the country. That he fights to keep her, to keep the country safe. He fights so that they can have a future, married in a democratic country. To enjoy their freedom to love each other and love the country. Yes. That sun in the distance will defeat the grey dawn. And he _will_ come home a hero. She barely manages to whisper something that is not a sob. Her broken heart flutters with hope and patriotism.
"Please be safe..." she whispers as she holds the poppy close. The rain stops.
_"Please be safe," he hisses as the battle begins. The withering barrage of artillery starts..._
This is a great video, by a fantastic group of women! From America, we salute you! The only thing I would have added would be a flight of spitfires climbing across the sky from back to front at the end! This was wonderful.
Very nice done Ladies, Keep up the spirit!
These songs are even for today. We have to keep fighting for our freedom every day.
Fighting for freedom? Do you seriously not see the contradiction?
@@returntodreamcastle6810 If we are not welling to fight to keep our freedom then we lose it. All of the wars in the last century were to keep our freedom. If we had not fought the nazis we would not have what we have today.
What a fantastic rendition of this song it sent my body tingling my nana used to sing me this as a baby
Hello Mark Warner from Terence WARNER in Wales (UK)
This songs really is a very good song
From All who served. WE SALUTE YOU !!
Sa va mearga luxul vocal si sensul uman - felicitari din Republica Moldova ..

My grandpa use to love us putting you amazing ladies on for him and my grandma before he passed 96 years old your amazing love this and it made them very very happy my grandma still listens end enjoys ❤️
So beautiful ladies, thank you for your lovely services to the world Thank You All
It is so so great to see there is still some real class left in this world.
I absolutely love your voices! You all deserve so much more recognition, I'd much rather listen to your voices than some of the stuff that is on the radio these days! Also can I just mention the songs always bring me close to tears. Each and every time!!!
With the greatest respect to each of these remarkable talents. The songstress on the left at the base of the arrow formation (solo at 0.45), is someone for whom I wouldn’t mind buying Norway.
This song speaks to me to be British my grandad was in the raf and the army respect to him miss him
beautiful and classic...tq
The British nurses were oft what kept our battle mangled boys in the spirit to go on.
The devotion to duty shall not be forgotten.
“ now Yank,, you’ll be alright,, we’ve got your care in hand now “
To hear the voice of an Angel after battle had taken near everything a young sailor had ever known.
Beautiful darlings 😍xx
listening to this song now, I can't help but think about our front liners in the fight against COVID-19 -- doctors, nurses, police officers, army, janitors, delivery persons, etc. all these people doing everything they can just to keep things going while all others are on quarantine/lockdown. God bless everyone! Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay home. 🙏
Honestly this song fits in our current situation
We will get through it and meet again
I'm Metalist,, and YT alghoritm takes me there and I dont know why :) ... BUT this song and people (girls :) ) are Magnificient and this song reminds me of our Czekoskovak & Your (UK) & Other pilots in RAF & others soliders in arms who believed and fought for the right thing, THANK YOU ALL!!! Dominik from Ostrava, CZ
What soldier wouldn't want to come home to these beauties....Bravo
this song kinda reminds me most of the things my country has gone through ... king`s children fight each other for the throne, some ministers being backstabbers, being colonized several times, attacked by communist, racial problems, etc ... the more i grew up the more i appreciate history!!
Beautiful
If you have the chance... Come to Cheyenne, Wyoming where the B-17s and B-24s received final equipment installation prior to deployment overseas...
On another note. The 2nd stanza brought tears to my eyes as I remembered that on 9/11 MY country was the one in distress.. And the British Commonwealth along with many other nations answered the call... To the families of those who never came home... This Yank will always be grateful.....
I'm a rock guitarist, now 82, But i remember all these old war songs
Very emotional - sitting here in tears
Another favorite of mine popular then an of special meaning to me: “ I’ll be seeing you”. (Like the Jo Stafford recording). I hope this talented group will perform that song too. My dad was USMC 1st Division, company C, enlisted 1939 DD214 as Sgt. I grew up with their meaningful lyrics, sung by beautiful trained voices to great melodies played by orchestras and big bands. It’s a treat to hear and see these ladies perform. Clearly, they’re so talented they didn’t have to jump around half dressed.
This is wonderful. Thank you. girls. Beautiful job on one of my favorite songs of WWI,
Fantastic ladies, beautiful music, too bad they don't write songs like this today.
just found this amazing group when looking at some britains got talent youtubes :) excellent performance , enjoyed it
They were summoned from the hillside,
They were called in from the glen,
Keep the Fires Home Burning ENGLISH TILL I DIE
WELSH un till I die too
Absolutely beautiful and that doesn’t really say it I am a veteran soldier and this made me cry I’m not ashamed to say . Thank you ladies x
I agree with you never be afraid to show your emotions. Stay safe.
