John McCormack - Keep the Home Fires Burning download song

From Metallica One to Johnny has got a Gun. I'm finally here.

What losers could dislike this song?

the world is upside down too

It's a great, great pity to quite a loot of Irishmen from Southern Ireland that there wasn't a second McCormack to do a repeat performance during WW11. The thousands of young men who lost their lives in that struggle, were never recognised (until recently) in the Republic. This number, therefore, is twice relished. . .

My grand father volunteered in 1914, barely 18 years old and served throughout, his brother fell in 1918 and got awarded a M.M. And for what? A country that is now ruled from abroad and is no longer Britain! Heroes betrayed by gutless politicians from all the parties!

this is the saddest song i've heard, to think so many millions didn't make it home

I live in Argentina and my dad always sung it, ...and he was from london. Fought in worldwar II and arrived to this country in 45. What memories, I remember him singing this and other world I &II songs, I miss him

Poor fella is upside down. Is there a message in that?

To all the boys who didn't make it home To all those who did, but whose lives were forever scarred To all the mothers, wives and daughters who kept the home fires burning, no matter what.

One of my great grandfathers favorite songs, he was in the infantry during the battle of passchendaele

Metallica brought me here

Millions of boys never came home

We sung this song in Iraq for no real reason other than for laughs. The Americans loved it. Good times

Thx to our British friends for their help in WW1. Just read a French book celebrating their heroism, but no need for me/ I saw British cemeteries in Northern France, and their ex-votos in French churches. my beloved aunt and godmother married an Englishman, so my cousins are English. For this song, thank you for the words of 2nd stanza: they come from a noble mind, with red blood in his veins. Just regret wi'll have to find together for freedom and humanity. More human blood still.

one from metallica brought me here...

Hi mark, that's sad but,  "They shall grow not 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".
