For me as An Ex Aussie Soldier, There was never a prouder moment when I marched behind the Army band playing Waltzing Matilda, it filled me with so much emotion and pride. I love the Chanel guys, keep it up.
Thank you Travis and Susie for playing my request. I'm so pleased at your reaction. I hoped you would like this version. June Tabor is quintesentionally an English legend in the Folk scene. Her voice is pure majik. Much love to you both. XX
Anzac Day is commemorated widely across Australia so there is no fear that they will be forgotten. Every town and city in Australia has a memorial for those lost in the wars. The Anzac sacrifice affected the entire country - everyone lost someone, and with a small population, that was significant for the country. This lady’s vocal delivery was perfect for this song.
My grandfather went off to WW1 from Sydney and proud to do so like so many however he never spoke of it on his return. I am still so very proud of him standing up for our freedoms.
I've never heard a more hauntingly moving rendition of this song before....So moved to tears.... I always feel I have to say to the last few bars of this when asked "what are they marching for?" Our answer is written in blood. 'LEST WE FORGET' At The Going Down Of The Sun and in the Morning WE SHALL REMBER THEM
Very melodic Irish twang. Just beautiful ❤😢 Nov 11 is Remembrance Day . We where red poppies and at 11 am have a minutes silence all Over Aus . Schools supermarkets hospitals etc etc
I think June Tabor was the first person to record this. Eric Bogle had written it several years before in the early 70s, and it was very popular in the folk clubs of Australia and the UK. I believe it’s Boyle’s favorite version. June is an outstanding singer with a large catalogue of both traditional and contemporary songs.
I dont think there is an aussie who doesnt tear up listening to this and waltzing matilda. Both world wars were absolutely pointless as is every war since. Australia had a population issue after this with a massive push thru the 70's/80's to populate or perish. Thats how many men we lost. Waltzing Matilda is home to me. I see and feel the billabong, I hear those ghosts and I know where I am in life... Im home.
The saddest part is that the song still carry's- on with only the theatre's engagement changing. Let's pray for a day when we'll no longer need the band to play Waltzing Matilda.
Gallipoli is pronounced "Gal-ip-olly". It's a famous military defeat that Australian and New Zealander's commemorate every year April 25. The battle was a debacle organised by future British WW2 leader and PM Winston Churchill, where Commonwealth forces were sent to capture the vital pathway through the Dardanelles into Turkey and the Black Sea. It was a hopeless task, but total annihilation was avoided by a glorious escape....much like what happened in Dunkirk (WW2). So many lives were lost for absolute zero gain.
@@CQuinnLady They did miss by a bit but I think they did intend to land in that general area....despite the cliffs. The Turks knew they were coming though and so had plenty of defenders ready. I think some of the D-day landing missed their mark as well?
Important to remember that many other nation's troops were sacrificed in that ridiculously poorly planned and conceived campaign. Churchill was a very important figure, but his knowledge and ability in military tactics and strategy were non-existent. He did push for the development of the tank, and his role in WWII was clearly very important, though even there he came up with mad schemes. His legacy is definitely extremely tarnished. The Australians don't like him because of Gallipoli, and his hinderance of the defence of Australia from the Japanese during WWII. The Irish don't like him because of his brutal crackdown on the Easter uprising. The Indians don't like him because of his attitude to the famine and other attitudes. Nevertheless, he was visionary in understanding the danger of Hitler and Stalin, and was crucial to the survival of Britain during WW2 and the coalition that eventually defeated Hitler.
Walzing matilda is "old Australian". A matilda is a swag or rucksack. Walzing it means to go roaming. It's generally associated with people who live is the bush or regional areas who travel from place to place looking for work or similar. Eric Bogle is best associated with this song.
Weird how many people in these comments don’t understand what this song is about. It’s not about the glory of war and how brave everyone was. It’s about the pointlessness of war, and the fact that these young men died and were mutilated for no reason
If you look up Gallipoli in your search engine it will explain all , there is a very good movie called Gallipoli with Mel Gibson . This battle is a part of Australian history as Iwo Jima is to Americans . Australians see it although it was a defeat ,a real mess up by those in command as when Australia came of age . It is marked each year not only in every township in the country but even at lone pine 🌲 in Turkey where the battle took place . Seeds were taken from that tree on the peninsula of Gallipoli and now grow as a mark of remembrance in Australia Hope that explains a bit
Maybe not well know to some countries like America but to Australia and new Zealand it's a fundamental part of our history every Aussie grows up hearing from early childhood. Not only our ANZAC's but many commonwealth nations were part of the campaign too.

So proud of you from a fellow Aussie. 💕🇦🇺
Thats not exactly what this songs about though - it’s about the pointlessness of war
This song lies deep in our culture

I have never heard this song sung so clearly. Your reaction was spoton thankyou. Beautiful voice.

June Tabor has a magical voice.

Also, definitely cried.
I learned this song from a Clam Chowder album, back in the '80s. Such a powerful song.
Haunting.

Stunning rendition
So glad someone is reacting to Folk music. Check out Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention, Maddy Prior, Shirley Collins and Linda Thompson.
The saddest part is that the song still carry's- on with only the theatre's engagement changing.

Boggle, how you said, Bogle, sounds like noble.
Newfoundlanders fought on the Aussies' side in Gallipoli.
I taught primary school kids to sing an abbreviated version of this song with the same effect
Lest we forget

DOnt forget to add that we overshot the landing spot, we werent sposed to have landed at Gallipoli at all.

@@CQuinnLady Gallipoli is short for the Gallipoli Peninsular. The Australians landed at Ari Burnu, about a mile north of their intended landing spot.
In that war, British Generals were in charge of the Australian troops and the Brits used the Aussies for cannon fodder.
They used everyone as cannon fodder. But Gallipoli was a particular crime. Churchill’s fault
❤❤
For some reason this song hits different when it is sung by the Irish

Thank you for the back story for this song. It’s a haunting thing.

I would suggest listening to the same song by Irish tenor John McDermott. He does an amazing job with it.
I really like the lipstick
another good one is te
he green fields of France similar vibe Remebrance day coming up on 11November
A really nice version. Also, the Pogues version has the most bitter and impactful delivery for me. Others vehemently disagree.
The version by the Poagues is the bext by far
Review The Funeral from American Sniper
Honestly ... why do we do this sh*,t to each other? It makes me sick. We are capable of SO MUCH BETTER.
ANZACS!!!
Interesting, but I hardly recognised it. Much prefer Eric Bogle's version. It has more impact when sung by a man you can imagine was that soldier.
Yeah, naa. It is just not the same.
I prefer the original
Same here not a fan of this one..
I don't get it. You need to explain these obscure videos.
It’s only obscure to you…
