Classic Track from top Irish folk band The Fureys.. + Informações

"No Man's Land" (also known as "The Green Fields of France" or "Willie McBride") is a song written in 1976 by Scottish-Australian singer-songwriter Eric Bogle, reflecting on the grave of a young man who died in World War I. Its chorus refers to two famous pieces of military music, "The Last Post" and "The Flowers of the Forest". Its melody, its refrain ("did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly"), and elements of its subject matter (a young man cut down in his prime) are similar to those of "Streets of Laredo", a North American cowboy ballad whose origins can be traced back to an 18th century British ballad called "The Unfortunate Rake" and the Irish Ballad Lock Hospital. In 2009 Eric told an audience in Weymouth that he'd read about a girl who had been presented with a copy of the song by then prime minister Tony Blair, who called it "his favourite anti-war poem". According to Eric, the framed copy of the poem was credited to him, but stated that he had been killed in World War I According to the song, the gravestone of the soldier, Willie McBride, says he was 19 years old when he died in 1916. According to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, there were eight soldiers named "William McBride", and a further six listed as "W. McBride", who died in France or Belgium during World War I but none matches the soldier in the song. Two "William McBrides" and one "W. McBride" died in 1916 but one is commemorated in the Thiepval Memorial and has no gravestone .... + Informações

Title: GREEN FIELDS OF FRANCE (RE 1) Artist: THE FUREYS WITH DAVEY ARTHUR Label: BANSHEE Date of entry: 01.03.1979 Highest Placement: 1 Weeks in the Irish Charts: 28 Well, how do you do, young Willie McBride, Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside? And rest for awhile neath the warm summer sun, I've been walking all day, and I'm nearly done. I see by your gravestone you our only 19 When you joined the great fallen in 1916, I hope you died well and I hope you died clean Or, Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene? Did they Beat the drum slowly, did the play the fife lowly? Did they sound the 'death march' as they lowered you down? did band play The Last Post in chorus? Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest? Did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind In some fatal heart is your memory enshrined? And, though you died back in 1916, in that fatal heart are you forever 19? Or are you a stranger without even a name, Enclosed in forever behind a glass pane, In an old photograph, torn and tattered and stained, And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame? Did they Beat the drum slowly, did the play the pipe lowly? Did they sound the 'death march' as they lowered you down? Did band play The Last Post in chorus? Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest? The sun now it shines on the green fields of France; there's warm summers breeze, it makes red .... + Informações
