I have a son in law in Iraq now and as a Vietnam vet I can relate to all songs of this kind. Too many Aussies, Brits, Canadians, New Zealanders, and Yanks have died in God forsaken places far from home. It's a beautiful song sung well.
just listened to this yorkshire nightingale singing "the white cockade". words to melt granite, and a voice like sunset and sunrise, and all the seasons between. thank-you kate
I can't stop crying. So many broken hearts. Seriously, I'm crying so hard you'd think I had lost my own fiance. I've got to clean myself up before people see and ask questions. This may have just become my new favorite song.
He's home safe and sound and is reunited with our daughter. The entire 32nd Infantry Brigade, Red Arrow, Wisconsin National Guard, came back safe and sound!!
I wish people would open their hearts to the suffering of others, there would be less war. Even if your enemies are dying in a war, it is a tragedy. Each individual who dies has an army of friends and relatives who will miss them and will be hurting for them to come back home. I wish people would see the more human side of things. There is always hope.
I always think this when watching things like the World Cup 2018.... most people just out enjoying themselves and having a great time together. Why do we allow a few egomaniacs to do so much damage to humankind?
Every so often one person arises and wants to shape the world in his image of the world; in furtherance of this he wants to occupy other countries to spread his influence. People quite rightly object and it may come to a point where force must be used to dissuade him from his course of action. Then starts a war which perhaps grows as allies help both sides for material/ideological reasons and Voila! Another big war. We allow it Andy Cap, because not enough people at the beginning are prepared to take the military action needed at the beginning!
Some years before I was born, my mother was a young woman during WWII. She courted disapproval, apparently, by pitying the German boys who were dying, as well as the British boys. And she said that German mothers suffered just as much as our mothers did when they lost a son. I'm glad I inherited her heart. I assume you're 21, Sara. Do keep your heart open until you're 101, won't you? We need you.
JJBushfan my mother was a young woman who was in the army in ww2, my father also served, but his father was a german soldier of ww1, his mother an English nurse,
Actually, I think the title of the song is "My Bonny Light Horseman" - There's also a nice brief snatch by Katherine Kellgren as she narrates the book of that name, L.A. Meyer's My Bonny Light Horseman: Being an Account of the Further Adventures of Jacky Faber, in Love and War (Yes- series of novels set in the Napoleonic Era... starring a cross-dressing girl... and a ton of folk songs.)
@@danielquinn5359 The original song, that this is an adaptation of, is called "My Bonny Light Horseman". That is most likely what he was referring to. The artist most likely changed the name so that this version would be associated with her.
Brilliant song, I have the Sharpe CD and love all the songs on it. And so many of them can ring true for our boys out in Afghanistan today. Keep safe lads, we might all not support the government's decision to send you there, but rest assured i'm sure Britain is behind you. I know I am, and will be always :)
a truely beautiful song - kate's voice is so clear & sweet & it moves me every time - check out a great version of this song by Delores Keane & John Faulkner
This one comment makes me want to be your friend. I continue to hope that one day we will rise above...if a person can, why not a nation? And if a nation, why not a species?
Are the lyrics of this version available? This is her significantly modified version of My Bonny Light Horseman. She sings this with deep feeling. I wish she would do an American tour.
Nigel Parry I respect you being honest and you are right unlike some of her other songs this one doesn't have much passion but I still think it’s good in my opinion though
I prefer the version I heard years ago (maybe on BBC Radio's "Folk on Two") by Tony Rose - it has a better tune. Tony's lyrical voice really makes it perfect. I wonder what it would be like if Kate's angelic voice was backed by Tony's tune...

Too many humans. Full stop!
Such a unique singer. I do like to have Kate in the car.
Could listen to her all night long! Just a wonderful and beautiful singer… 💕🎼🎸
Sung like a widow. Excellent styling.
just listened to this yorkshire nightingale singing "the white cockade". words to melt granite, and a voice like sunset and sunrise, and all the seasons between. thank-you kate
This song is so true today.
I can't stop crying. So many broken hearts.

This song breaks my heart for all the soldiers, sailors, and marines of all nations slain and maimed and most often for no good reason at all. :(
More than enough reasons are you kidding
@@ThaiSoup39 nonsense. It was always the ordinary people who paid either way.
Kate Rusby. Absolutley divine. This song is ridiculoulsy good. Thanks for the Upload!
Yes I am, and yes I will. We need more people like your mother. God bless her.
Touching, lyrically..a powerful song.
-salutes our troops- this is the best version of the song, and no poet could do better. I know for I am one.

Can't believe someone disliked this, especially given the message it sends!
Voice matches the theme and sentiment of that song perfectly...well Done Kate

No good Soldier hates his foe. Do the work set before you and remember the price paid.
@@johnminehan1148 every soldiers should hate those who use their lives for their own ends, love soldiers hate war.
What a great song of love and of war....
God Kate this is why I love you so much. I wish this song could be on iTunes
I was previously only familiar with Niamh Parson's acapella version.
This is a terrific orchestrated version.
A Kate song I haven't heard! Brilliant posting! Niamh Parsons' acapella version of this tune is brill as well!
I love this song so much.
good song. sad song, but good. If you can relate to it then it could be a bit of a tear-jerker
All the best to the people here!

nope the song is called broken hearted i will wonder i have the soundtrack album

@@onelonecelt9168 there is a great version of this by planxty
@@keithmarch980 Thanks for the suggestion, I actually stumbled across that version first! Have a great day!
Another Jacky Faber fan!!

Beautiful darl both you and the song so British x
i was just about to add this song cos it wasn't here, thanks :)
Stunning. x
That soundtrack tape was when I first heard Kate Rusby. "Music from and inspired by..." , not an OST, and didn't claim to be.

@CarlGustavStads Too many people have died in war, period.
@HashMaroon Have you tried the obvious iTunes?if
Only proper singers come from Yorkshire
Great Song
What episode was this off of? I just watched through the entire series and could not find where either of the Rusby songs were

jonnys gone 4 a soldier is another good 1.
Thanks, WovesFanNo1.
@jackiekeith2000 Immense description.
wolves ay we
I love Kate Rusby. But this version is very second rate. Sorry, but it just lacks heart and passion.

Nigel Parry Could be because she recorded it when she was 17.
yes and arent stupid enough to go back ....fighting for rich men to make them richer...dont be fooled by any other excuse..
