still listening this this ought to be played msm

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning. We will remember them.

It is so sad that so many people have lost their lives in war and, it is still going on today! Why are their "IDIOTS NOT LEANING THE MISTAKES FROM HISTORY" ????????

Thank you for raising funds for a cause where more awareness is needed and the speed at which it can affect you. Shannon didn’t deserve this, we all miss her so much and she’ll never be forgotten 💔😢

Wow love this for such a needed cause too ❤ Super proud of you Pg 💪🏻🥰 this is amazing. It’s so heartbreaking 💔 but Shannon’s memory will live on with us forever, miss her so much. Thank you for all you have done, this means the absolute world 🫶🏻 xx

Well that's were they say they want us to go so that's exactly where we are going. Nothing personal gerry.

I had never seen this before and a relative in Australia just sent it to me. I watched it with tears streaming down my face. My father was one of those shot down. His Lancaster was shot down South of Hamburg on the edge of a small town called Beckdorf, on November 11 1944 . After much searching I was finally able to track down the crash site and with help from local officials excavated the site and recovered hundreds of pieces in 2008. Those pieces are now on display in the Museum at the airfield he took off from (East Kirkby Lincs). Thank you so much for this post Like many others it means so much to me, THANK YOU!

the bombers moon although a wonderful tribute is also realistically nonsense....the reason i say that and i quote this from guy gibsons briefing to 617 squadron the night of the dams raid.....gibson said at the briefing that night he said....its a full moon tonight so normal ops are out....we will be the only ones flying so although a wonderful tribute its not realistically accurate

let the snow flakes of today melt away. Are bomber boys were so brave.😪

Politicians everywhere should be made to listen to this, and the poetry of Owen and Sassoon, and to read Remarque. Only then, when they understand, should they be seen fit for office. Even then maybe we should think twice about voting for them.

I saw him perform this at Edinburgh playhouse. It reduced a lot of the older audience members to tears. I lost an uncle over Cologne in a Lancaster.

when you work out all this woke ideology that being peddled through all the institutions you realise that that the left are radicalising the youth as revolutionary foot soldiers creating chaos to destroy the very freedoms these men gave their lives for

Lovely but tinged with sadness,Lest we forget💙

Made me, a 77 year old cry, as it does bring home what my father did in his short time as RNAF bomber pilot. He dies just before I was born.

I saw him live at Buxton years ago, he was all fun and jokes and everyone was laughing and enjoying the fun then suddenly he sang this. The place went absolutely quiet, the atmosphere changed and people were actually shedding tears. An amazing emotional and touching experience and performance. Whatever happened to this incredibly talented man, we never hear of him anymore?.

Not just a great comedian a.great musician a power song will the world ever live in peace?

Beautiful song in memory of his Dad and the young who sacrificed themselves. The one thumbs down did not understand the meaning of this song

Wow !! simply Wow

Beautiful

This is a beautiful, deeply personal song that I do not wish to detract from at all. However - there seems to be a good deal of artistic licence. I did a little research. The mission in question was not flown in bright moonlight, but a waxing crescent. They did not dare to fly in moonlight as it meant they were easy prey for the nightfighters. It is also unlikely the bombs were dropped low - this mission used Tallboys and they worked best from high altitude, not to mention the risk from flak if they did bomb from low altitude. Having said that - such s moving song and my nit-picking is not meant as criticism. Just to help people understand. If I'm incorrect at all - please put me right.

The crew member referred to as "Curly Thompson" was actually Mike´s own father. Mike wrote the song eventually as a tribute to his father but also as a hymn against the utter stupidity of war.

what was happening here?

Just in process of moving to Texas and gotta sort out shipping my Scoot,Beetle and bloomin great big record collection shipped. Dunno what the Northern/mod scenes like there but be great bombing about Houston with no helmet laws. I miss the 2nd mod coming - late 70s but have had Lammys since a fresh faced 13 year old in '69. Perfect still for riding round the City.

Totally agree mate with you there

Although they probably put on a good show, there is no way they should be calling themselves "The Marvelettes." Come up with a different name, call it a tribute to the Marvelettes, but don't use the actual name; this is what Gladys Horton fought against.
