John McDermott - The Green Fields Of France (With Lyrics) скачать видео бесплатно

Greg Blatchford

My Grandad and his eldest son fought in WW1, my Dad and my uncle ought in WWII. This song is a tribute to them.

Michael Rappaport

He makes one change in the Bogle song that bothered me a little, but his version is still lovely. Bogle's initial lyric is "... or was it slow and obscene," and McDermott changes the last word from obscene to unseen. I am very happy to have tickets for a concert in February 2015 to see McDermott when he comes to Georgia.

Arthur Halbert

great song to help you reflect...alot of artists perform it...very hard to choose a favorite.

Brian McGlynn

Nov 11 is fast approaching, I love this song. One thing for sure History shows us that we never learn from History

George Smith

I consider this song to be almost a hymn. My Dad joined at 14 after lying about his age. Two uncles perished, one by gas. Still it happens again & again!

Anthony Hampton

to the fallen

Marian Brown

A true Male Patriot cries when he hears this song like my USAFSS/NSA brother who knew that this was the war that was to end all wars and that is why this Organization protects the United States of America and its allies always trusting in God, None Other.

Clare O'C

I totally agree with the previous comment. I too was there at Hugh's Room to be entertained by these two.

Albert Smith

And still it goes on and on and on ------------------------------------------------------and on and on.

Bryan Owens

Takes me back to summer of 2011 when I first heard the song while in rehab. It moved me.

I have heard John McDermott sing this song live quite a few times over the last 14 years. It brings tears to my eyes every time. He sings from his heart. He also does And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda. Eric Bogle, who also composed that song, counts it as his absolute favorite rendition of it as well. I was privileged to see them both at Hugh's Room in Toronto and Eric sat off to the side of the stage to watch and listen as John sang And The Band Played...it is a memory burned into my soul. Eric and most of the audience was in tears. A combo not to be beaten, John singing Bogle. Thanks for posting this Lawrence.

Heroes them all. My Grandfather served in WWI deployed at 16 (lied about his age) engaged in battle, hospitalized twice. Once with a GSW (gunshot wound) once again after having been gassed. We have all his records and even postcards still filthy with the mustard gas let loose by the enemy.Mr. McDermott addresses these issues and makes Remembrance Day EVERYDAY. Our Soldiers deserve nothing less.

One would pray that all world leaders would have taken the time and play this old song a couple of times before taken action. 

James Hayes

So much never said, I will always miss my Dad...

YES, WWI WAS A WAR TO END ALL WARS- WHAT A FALSE IDEA!IT LED TO WWII AND THEN OTHER WARS THAT FOLLOWED.AS LONG AS MEN LIVE WITHOUT GOD AND DO NOT ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOUR( JOHN 3: 16, THE HOLY BIBLE) THERE WILL BE WARS AND GREEDY PLANS BY ALL COUNTRIES.ACFLEMING, WASH DC, NOV 14, 2013

John O'Connor

And it is so beautfully sung by John; yes it is a song about the pointless loss of life in wars. I know houses where there are photos on their walls of young men, young soldiers in uniform with acknowledgement of their ultimate sacrifice; stamp-signed by Presidend Roosevelt. Also know gravestones of young men who died in wars, some aged only 18, more just in their 20s. Why did they die? We should never let it happen again.

Lawrence047

I agree.

TheXAddictedX

This is just a lament for the youth lost to war. There are no politics in this song, just emotion. There were a lot of Willie McBrides that fought and died in the war, and McMillans, O'Briens, O'Reillys, Müllers, Schäfers, and Weißs. Be sad that war exists, not that one side or the other came out on top.

Ahh, young Willie McBride, you were the finest Ireland produced, but, ye fought for the wrong country and the wrong cause!
