Listen to this without shedding a tear

 

From June Tabor

 

Folk singer June Tabor is as far as I'm aware the first artist to record Eric Bogle's The Band Played Waltzing Matilda. This is in my opinion the definitive version.

We are supposed to learn from our mistakes but never seem to and year after year the cannon fodder gets sent to some front line somewhere and the dead are reduced to a soundbite and a flashing image on our TV's.... Go figure.

[Eccentric 10]

‘All of my heart’ by ABC. Reminds me that love is a fiction.

[RED ALERT 10]

Anything by manufactured X factor style boy/girl bands!

[Spaulding 10]

 

For me, and absolutely beautiful song.

Got to be 'Oh My Papa' (Oh Mein Papa). Original (Eddie Fisher) 1954 version here but the Everly Brothers' version

is lovely too. Also Connie Francis singing Mama. They make me think of my lovely parents who died many years ago and who I still miss. Edited June 18, 2013 by ccit

When I used to watch the cup final on TV, Abide with Me, always hit the spot its such an emotive song.

 

That was my Grandmothers favourite hymn, it is a good one that.

For me it has to be Knights In White Satin, the words if you listen everybody can relate to I know I was at the time, what I was going through it felt like to me nobody else understood, a line from the song, I listened to that song a lot last year. The Rose by Bette Midler, or Lynne Hamilton On The Inside the theme from Prisoner Cell Block H but there are so many more.

The Band Played Waltzing Matilda sung by June tabor . This is in my opinion the definitive version.The late John Peel played this twice in the same show it moved him so much, he had never played any record twice before.You can hear it on youtube for free.
