    With so many governments calling for war, this should be played at every occasion because things haven't changed. I think this song is best sung by young girls, warning foolish young men what war is really about. About dying in a foreign field, sometimes taking days to die....calling for their mother.

    With tears in my eyes I am thinking of my great Uncle +- born 1896 and who died in the Somme aged 19. The fact he survived there for 3 months is horrific to think about. I was the one to find his memorial at Thiepval in 1985. No body, no grave and for almost 80 years none of my family knew where he was commemorated. I was 14. Still hurts, especially when you come from a really small family, like never more than 5.

    My great grandfather (Fred Hall) was a 1st Lieutenant in WWI who never really spoke of his experiences during this war. Often my family answered the call to defend this country and some laid their all on the mantle of freedom. I will never forget the sacrifices of these ancestors who have done their duty and served defending America till the last bugle call. Thank you all who have answered this call and willingly laid down your lives. Many I have never known but your service will never be forgotten as I pass down your legacy to future generations.

    What a beautiful song!! While this can be thought of as a war protest song, remember all soldiers and sailors never want WAR! My grandfather was in France in 1917 and was gassed. My dad fought with the navy in WWII, I was in Viet Nam in 1969 and was wounded there. I can say from first hand experience that no soldier wants war. I will start playing this song at military funerals if the family wants because of the message it sends to all world leaders!

    I had a good friend pass away one week ago. He was younger than I who is 48. His funeral is on Sunday and I am crushed with grief. This is one of the most beautiful renditions of this song I have ever heard. I first heard a version of this song when I was 17 and my best friend was murdered in front of me, he was only 18. After a fight with gang bangers in Milwaukee Wisconsin he was shot in the back and the bullet ripped his aorta. He bled and died in my arms. Because it was a shooting when we raced his body to the nearest hospital the police that showed were harsh and we did not corporate they hand cuffed us and we got beaten down when they officially announced he was dead. Anyway my Irish Brother who is being honored this Sunday loved this song in life and would of loved your version. Thank you. 💙😢

    I listen to this over and over. Processing emotions each time. As the emotions become less intense, my questioning mind kicks in. We, humans, are slow learners, we learn slowly. Small, seemingly insignificant steps. The League of Nations, weak as it was, was an attempt to make something of the war. Yes, along came World War II. The United Nations and NATO were also attempts to make progress. And now, yes, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. What lessons will we learn? What progress will we make?

      It is a beautiful version, so I have to ask: why all the lyric changes?! I happen to know Eric Bogle from coming to the U.S. over all the years since 1982. I think you’d have done better if you’d just googled the lyrics or better yet, listen to Eric’s version! Some of us think of this song as the best antiwar song in the English language. I guess if you really, somehow, improved upon it, that’d be one thing, but did you?! Did you really?! What grates on me the most was your insistence on singing “flow-ers of the for-est*! Really girls?! “Fleurs is both beautiful, one-syllable, and um, “ahem” (clears throat) the narrator is in FRANCE, remember?!?! Considering how lovely it is to hear your version, why not get the damn words right, kids?!?! I mean, laziness?! Or just wanting to put your *mark* on this incredible song that will live SO FAR beyond ANY of our lives, um, was that really necessary? 🤦🏻‍♀️ I guess you know what I think…

    • @Toms-a-cold
      @Toms-a-cold 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      To be fair, the changes to the lyrics are nothing to do with these ladies. This is the version which was a huge success for The Furey Brothers and Davey Arthur, and for The Men They Couldn't Hang too, in the 1980s. For some reason, it's the version, despite being inferior to the original, which has generally been handed down. Niamh Farrell sings it beautifully on a couple of videos here, but yes, the changes always grate.
      Wikipedia says "some of the Scots phrases" were replaced in the revised version. The only phrases that can possibly apply to are "rifles fire o'er ye" and "The Floo'ers o' the Forest". June Tabor, who's English, has no problem with "o'er ye" on her powerful recording from 1977. How difficult can it be? The other changes are seemingly gratuitous and invariably weaker than the original words.
      Speaking of which, "The Floo'ers o' the Forest" has nothing to do with French. I'm British, but I've lived in France for over 45 years. "Fleurs" in French is pronounced to rhyme with "fur" in English; the "s" is silent. "The Floo'ers o' the Forest" - the first syllable rhymes with "who" - was originally a Scottish folk tune. Although he emigrated to Australia as a young man, Eric Bogle was born and raised in Scotland. He's always sung it with the original pronunciation.

    This is one of the most beautiful renditions of this song I have ever heard and there have been many. As an Army veteran and son of a WWII Veteran it always brings be tears when I hear it. It is a beautiful song of war, the indifference of man, the comraderie of warriors (Like those men from the US, Britain, Germany as well as many other countries) and in "no mans land" during lulls in battle and the sadness of war and how we keeping fighting wars that mainly kill young men and future generations. This group of ladies are a truly and beautiful and talented singing group who deserve our thanks for such a respectful rendition of this song that honors men and women heroes from all wars. The "Flowers of the Forest" was and is played at funerals such as that for Prince Phillip this year, no words are needed, just the sound of bagpipes. This song was played at my Mother in Laws funeral, she was 91 and a wonderful Irish lady, how fitting. Here husband was a WW II Navy veteran.

Some women were so in grief that they went wild and roamed the hills ululating.

    A stunning version of this song with lovely harmonies. There's just one line that stands out for the wrong reasons and I've heard it in a lot of versions. I know it's not really important but it makes more sense with the correct lyric. Often people sing " The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand to man's blind indifference to his fellow man." When it should be " The countless white crosses in mute witness stand to man's blind indifference to his fellow man." I still love it though.

    Last autumn I spent a week in Ypres and also paid my respects at Thiepval. The CWGC cemeteries are numerous and I saw many 'Willie Mcbrides', they are all well looked after. Every evening I went to the Menin Gate, every visit is emotional. #wewillrememberthem

    This is a great and lovely moving emotional war song, these girls have such incredible talent to put so much emotion into the song, I've heard this done by many singers including the great Eric Bogle, but this is without doubt the most beautiful version of all, thank you for such angelic voices.

    A desperately sad song that is beautifully sung here, as I look across at the Princess Mary 1914 gift tin on my mantle piece I’ll admit to having a tear in my eye.

      Eric Bogle sings, in the original version: "Did you really believe them when they told you the cause?". Maybe when we stop believing them. Until then, it was all done, and is still being done today, in vain.
