  • I love Roger's music, I find him very inspiring and uplifting, a wonderful voice, and a beautiful mind, he oozes an energy of goodness.

  • 'If' rounds up my own feelings in a few words - Thank you Roger, for a near lifetime of enjoyment of every song you ever put your name to. You are Great - my wishes for a Happy retirement - God Bless you.

  • to robindahouse2k9! nice to Know a teenager with some sence of talent! I had the same fealing when I was 17, thats 23 years past, Good taste is timeless and goes past the convensions of generationes!

  • The meaning of this song is very clear. My mother told me when I was a child: "if wishes were horses, beggars would ride." When you start a sentence with "if" it's a waste of time. The meaning was clear then just like the meaning of this song. "If" doesn't get you anywhere, duh! Beautiful song sung as only Roger Whittaker can do.

  • this is my favorite music, it was my grandmother's too, may she rest in peace

  • If only everybody could understand this song. Stay with me Roger.

  • Lovely man live in Banagher Co Offally Ireland. Great song

  • What a Killer Artist Mr. Whittaker is! The way songs should be sung, thank GOD for Singers like him.

  • Folks laughed at Whittaker and thought he was an idol for old ladies with purple rinses. But the man has some good songs and he sings them to perfection!

  • @b0j43 I was 15 when this was a hit and i liked the song very much, but i haven't seen any old ladies with purple rinses of my age yet :-)) Maybe they don't catch my attention since i am still feeling 20 in some way.

  • love it!!

    

  • I'm 72 and still love this song and I agree with the lyrics, but "Only the dead are free of war!" Plato(Yes, the Greek Philosopher c 500 B.C.). Things have not really changed, have they?

  • All of my children were introduced to Rogers' music as they grew up and now it is the turn of my 12 grandchildren to enjoy it. What a better place we could have if everyone listened intensley to his words.

  • A phenomenal song and only Roger Whittaker could fill it with such meaning!

  • ...... I always thought he sang I don't believe in HIV anymore... HIV is an illusion... HIV is for children.....

  • @robindahouse2k9 that's right - why give a crap wot anyone else thinks - and in any case you can still "like" rap etc or anything else regardless.
