    It’s Anzac Day today, so we’ve posted this arrangement as a reminder. Lest we forget.
    Thanks for listening, and the sheet music is in the description if you’d like to play it yourself. I sang this at school on Anzac and Remembrance Day many times and hope that others have these memories too.

      I know you probably won’t be able to for multiple reasons but I am kind of in the middle so could you guys possibly make a difficulty in between easy and medium because easy is too easy but medium is too hard (not saying specifically this song, just in general)

      108 years ago today, Winston Churchill’s ill fated plan to punch a hole through the “back door” of the Central Powers would begin. Beginning with the landings at ANZAC Cove the Gallipoli Campaign would last 10 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days, and cost 56,707 lives. These deaths came from all over Entente lands, however the Australian and New Zealand forces would suffer the highest rate of deaths at approximately 23% for New Zealand, and 15% for Australia.

      Loved and were loved, yet now we lie,
      In Flanders Fields, in Flanders Fields.
      Take up our quarrel, with the foe.
      To you from failing hands, we throw
      The torch be yours, to hold on high,
      If ye break faith, with us who died,
      We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
      In Flanders Fields.

Everyday at 11 o'clock on the 11th Day of the 11th of November, i sit there, remembering my fallen family members and all the others who fell for their nations protection for 2 minutes. One of my Great Great Great Uncles is the one i know most about and he died in the flowing fields of Flanders. May lest we forget about these forgotten heroes who fell so then we could be here and be happy. 11/11/18-11/11/23 Lest we forget.

    I'm Australian. Even as a small child I understood (albeit partially) the sadness and loss of the families who had sons and fathers never return to them. I felt like crying from the first few notes of the song, and it really reminded me of the reality of war all over the world. It's an incredibly sad thing to think about, but I think it's important for everyone to know. It could very well happen again in the next 60 years, which would be within the lifespan of many of the people listening to this.
    Thank you for doing this SMB.

    For those that don't know the meaning of the poppies in the poem, this is how it was taught to me.
    It's one of the 1st plants to grow in very harsh conditions.
    Land that was bombed, had gasses flow over the ground, blood puddles..... No other flowers like those conditions, but the poppies started to grow. The area started getting some color again because of the poppies. It shows that there's still hope for good life, even if it seems impossible. The poppies also managed to make the earth clean enough for other plants and flowers to grow again.
    Also, poppies are red, so they also resemble all the blood that was spilled, and is a reminder of those cruel years.

    A wonderful song. As an American whose into histories of the world wars, I've always noticed something different that you get when the history books change from talking about Brits and Anzacs, some almost imperceptible difference in, I don't know, character? Tone? Energy? There's a different feeling about the Australians then the commonwealth forces, and the British in particular. Maybe it's just because today I was reading about a bunch of then who died when the Americans sunk the prison ship they were on. It's sad, but they just found the ship, but will leave the wreck be out of respect.
    (Edit: the ship is the Montevideo Maru by the way, if you want to look it up)
    Unrelated: Could you please do "Encounter" from the Metal Gear games, or any starbound song? I've been hearing the smash remix of the former a lot recently and think it would sound great on piano. Thanks!

My grandpa served in the Yugoslavian Croatian and Yugoslavian Bosnian war being stationed once again like his dad in Northern Bosnia and as his das he was one of the best with his brothers and cousins being in a similar league. He also never suffered PTSD but rather tells lots of stuff about the war. May we hope that none of us have too live with these events ever. War ruins society.

    On that island he was forced to kill someone who i can't imagine was much older than him, my grandfather was 19.
    War is cruelty and you cannot refine it, but at crucial moments violence can be avoided. My grandfather never should have had to dive into that foxhole and kill a young man before his 3rd decade on earth. My great grandfather should never have had to flee Germany because World War One was coming.
    Lets just hope that as few human beings as possible have to live through this.
