  • The new video for our brand new song In My Dreams is now online! Click on the button in the top right of the video, or the video in the Video Responses to see it. Let us know what you think and please share it everywhere!

  • Excellent and touching

  • All I can say is that, every single soldier out there, fighting for Britain, have a place in my heart. I', proud to be british xx

  • This was uploaded on my birthday last year! :) And the guy conducting it reminds me of the H.O.D. (Head Of Department) of music at my school!

  • Much love from the US.

    Beautiful song. It's helps me through missing my Patrick, who is away with the army training to be a medic. He's still in the states, but that doesn't make the separation any easier.

    My prayers are with those and the families and loved ones of those not so close to home.

    As military loved ones, we have to stick together and support each other. We're the only ones that can understand.

    I've never met you, but I love you.

  • So touching! Those serving in the military and their families need as much support as possible, I couldn't imagine being away from my loved one for so long. I watched the documentary "Hell and Back Again" and it really shows how supportive a wife is to her injured husband who returned home from Afghanistan. I feel like everyone should see this film bitly .com/zJDaIj

  • well done, it makes me proud to live in the UK #may god watch over the men and the families xxx

  • Just beautiful! Thanks!!

    

  • Send them ALL safely at home ...and may Peace overrun the hole World !

  • Well done!

    From your friends and allies across the "big pond"...

  • if more people knew the facts about the war, they would buy 5 copies of this and support the forces. no-one wants to be in a war zone, but it is necessary to help ensure a wider stability. in many areas afghani children are now back at school- education is vital to the bigger picture, it is ignornance that keeps the masses suppressed. forces are fighting for a far reaching peace. they deserve more than we can can give them. well done the brave support crew , those at home, they also serve x x x

  • i love the video glad you made loads of money, cant wait for mothers day when LP comes out

  • That banner saying 'welcome home daddy' just made me want to cry. My big brother has just joined up, I couldn't be more proud of him :)

  • Beautiful!!!!! From U S.

  • As an American soldier, I simply loved this demonstration of love and solidarity.

  • Beautiful, thank you from the bottom of my heart, so few giving of themselves so much.

  • Wauw!!!

  • Beautiful!

    

  • really lovve this song makes me want to cry :) x

  • It is truly very touching how these woman sing for their partners.

  • OMG O.O MAJOR GOOSEBUMPS OR WHAT!! <3

  • im so emotional when it comes to the army <3 my greatest respect goes out to all those who serve for our country :) and to my boyfriend who will be some day <3

  • Absolutely amazing!! I'm crying and speechless!! Anyone that has the lack of heart to dislike this should not be living in my country! You have no idea what the military men and women have to go through so we can live our lives as we do, they deserve much more respect than they get in the real world. You can hate the war all you want, but don't dare hate the troops. It's not their fault there is war!!

  • @jmjustus08

    I couldn't agree with you more....the lack of respect towards our Veterans in this world is completely uncalled for, unjust and JUST PLAIN WRONG. My friend's son is going over to Afghanistan shortly and I support her and every single Veteran and every single person who puts their life on the line in order for us to live in freedom. Unfortunately too many parents out there do not educate their children pertaining to this.

  • How can anybody not like this.

    These women are proud of their husbands and the job they do and we should show our pride alongside them.

    Some of these women may never see their loved ones again so the whole country should stand with them and honour them as much as we honour the personnel of our armed forces..

  • 600 people have no heart at all!, how can anyone dislike this...these women are singing from the heart, they miss their loved ones at this time, and of course at anytime while their other halves are away, serving crown and country.

    I respect our forces and will stand by them unlike certain ones, god bless our troops, and god bless these military wives!

  • J. D. Salinger wrote a short story about a soldier who has a brief chance meeting with a choir girl and her brother. Later, after experiencing the horrors of war, his sanity is saved by the memory of the meeting. This video reminds me so much of that story... 'For Esme, With Love and Squalor'.

  • How can people Disike this!!!!

    Just shows how many people dont have respect for others!!!

  • My Mums friend is in here at 0.17 short hair the back row.

  • I'm proud to be a military girlfriend:') <3

  • I'm listening to this like .. the whole day and I can't stop crying.

    This is the the most emotional song i ever heard.

    Eventough I can't say anything about the patriotism you feel, when you are listening to this because I'm german, I admire these strong women and their husbands/boyfriends for keeping their faith and their love for each other.

  • I bought this three times.

    Proud to be British <3

  • nice song,,,lee beet!!,

  • How can 353 "people" possiblly dislike this song. They should all listen and understand what these brave ladies are singing about. Instead of the word people maybe I should have said morons.

  • Congratulations Ladies! The country is proud!

  • Got shivers an goosebumps, so wonderful :')

  • Well done you , it show everything is possible if you believe in yourself ....MERRY CHRISTMAS

  • stuff x factor we have to haves these as number one! you can feel the sadness and the pasion in this song! im with the RBLR and this song will stay with the men and women fighting for us! welldone girls! did you men proud!<3

  • Ah great,im crying :') beautiful song,with a beautiful meaning!

  • What a wonderful song and what a wonderful choir, may you acheive your dreams and have great fun along the way Much like i have, I will be buy the CD and i have posted this video onto my facebook page with my compliments.

    I'm a webmaster an historian for Western Park Open Air School, located in Leicester you can google it to find out more about it and about me, Merry Christmas. I'm off Santa Tracking for all the children that know me for my kind heart.

  • Being a working Civilian for the military and having had several family members and friends serving or served for queen/king and country I full support the wives, this song and their plights!

  • Wow! I usually download music 4 free but I'm gonna buy this to help it to Christmas no: 1 because it's beautiful lyrics and harmony

  • how can anyone dislike this? Maybe you believe that war is wrong, so do I, but the point of this is to show support to families and friends of our soldiers who work every day, to protect us at home. Have a little respect at a time of giving :)

  • @LamiyaLaskor1997 Good Comment almost made me cry

  • This has pretty much already become number 1, its the biggest selling single in i dont know how many years, but its already sold nearly half a million copies sooo, well done military wives choir in advance :)

  • This is REALLY great: SO good to see wide public support finally for not only our armed forces but also for the families they left behind; I have NO connection with these following charities BUT PLEASE support scottieslittlesoldiers(dot)co(­dot)uk and redlionfoods(dot)com - they both support our armed forces' families and particularly children. And continue to hope (and/or work for and/or pray) for world peace; Lord knows we need a lot more of it!

  • First CD I've brought in years, want this to get to number 1 so badly.

  • people have been in wars for ages why do we need to raise awareness now?

  • @Olzabolza1

    We should always be remembering those that sacrifice everything for the sake of others.

  • this should be the xmas number 1, it makes a change to have a song which has a meaning other than the usual selfish songs that hit the charts. a brilliant song with a deep meaning, well done ladies - support our forces abroad

  • this will be xmas number 1.. its already been confirmed that theyve sold more than the other contenders.. didnt even no who these were until i heard that they where outselling everyone in the charts

  • i used to serve in the british army myself and i must say this brought back so many memories tears flowed smiles came up on my face and best of all it warmed my heart.. jolly well done ladies i salute you all. as a former signaller ( female) i wish you all a merry christmas. xx

  • I absolutely love this song, it brings tears to my eyes and I also would like to pay respect to all the troops both men and women who gave their lives and limbs away so they could save our country R.I.P and thank you <3

  • This song gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. The TV show brought tears to my eyes, on many occasions. Christmas No. 1!!

  • its number 1!!!!!!!! in the weekly updates!!!!!

  • politics aside, these guys and gals do the hardest job in the world and get little reward for their sacrifice. I hope this stays at number 1 and reminds us that there is more to life, especially at this time of year. Good luck all you soldiers, come home safe to your friends and families.

  • @sfdickens If you don't think Britain should be in Afghanistan, in what sense are they risking their lives and limbs on your behalf?

  • This isn't really my kind of thing, but it sounds great, has a message, and I like it :)

  • Absolutely beautiful....this gave me goose bumps! Anyone who has, or has ever had a husband/wife/partner away on tour can totally relate to the lyrics. Now more than ever, I am thankful my husband's Army career is behind us but our thoughts are with the lads and lasses away from home at Christmas and every day!

  • Cheesy but very wonderful! Thank you to all those men and women who put their lives on their line o that

  • This is an absolutely beautiful song sung by some of the strongest people in the world, it's absolutely heartbreaking that some of their partners may not make it home, yet inspiring that they choose to stick by them despite the pain it may cause <3

  • i want this to be number one on christmas but there will be two this christmas because its on a sunday so little mix will be and hopefully these will to :)

  • This song is not yet available in the US iTunes, any other way to get it?

  • It's not the sort of thing I normally listen to, but whatever you think about this song, at least it's keeping Cowell off the top of the charts. The X-Factor's been churning out horrible 'music' for too long. Good luck to them. I just read an interview with Sam, she's very brave. I don't have any family in the forces, but I do know what it's like when you say goodbye to a loved one and you know there's a very real possibility you'll never see them again.

  • I wouldn't be too disappointed if Marcus Collins was number 1 but Little Mix no. We want this number 1

  • Proud to be British, thanks to each and every soldier and their wives.

  • This made me cry... <3

  • This song genuinely brought tears to my eyes!

    Very fitting tribute to all those Service men and women who are serving out there, risking everything for us.

    Thoughts go out to the family's of those who are still out there, and to the one's who never made it back.

  • How can people want little mix to win over this? These deserve to win!

  • I am an army girlfriend, my boyfriend has just returned from his 3rd tour of Afghanistan. Long have us left behind served silently. I think this is fantastic, showing the nation what we at home go through during those 6months. i've brought my numerous copies, chokes me up every time-it hits very close to home xxx

  • I'm also 17 and this has me in tears every time. This is REAL...not some generic plastic girl group like Little Mix. Please help these brave women achieve no.1 xxx

  • Downloaded and Facebooked & Tweeted. :] xx

  • goosebumps <3

  • I'm 17 years old and yeah people complain about what we do and how we are 'young and rebellious' and 'make towns look messy' and tbh I don't disagree and I don't listen to this sort of music at all but I watch all his programmes and this has got to be the most meaninful and inspirational. The lyrics make me get butterflies and their voice makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up because it's that beautiful, it gave me goosebumps. The meaning in the lyrics is enough to want me to make this

  • As a chorister having been part of a similar project, I can really appreciate this piece of music, not just as a wonderful song, but more importantly the emotion behind it.

    Watching and listening is fantastic, uplifting and spine-tingling.

    May all our loved and cherished soldiers come home soon and stay safe.

    Thanks for reminding me to value what I have even more than I do already.

  • love it.........lovely song !!!!!!!!!

  • I hope these get to number one and beat crappy little mix, this gave me goose pimples its beautiful i am going to order the CD now :D im 17 and i dont normally like this sort of music but i can tell by the lyrics how much this means to each of those wives, Our British men and woman should not be fighting someone elses war they should be home with their loved one and be safe not! Bring out troops home and leave them to stay home! and RIP to all that have lost their innocent lives! ♥♥

  • This song may well go down as a one hit wonder but make no mistake, it will stay the test of time and will become one of the greatest ever because it have everything....power, strength, beauty, defiance, love, peace and hope. God Bless ALL people on earth who are suffering.

  • This is so beautiful. Watched the series last night and desperately hope it makes it to Christmas No.1. What a wonderful gift to give those serving our country who will be all over the world and those families left behind.

  • Ladies, you and your brave loved one's are number one in so many hearts. Thank you for such a wonderful song at such a hard time for yourselves. Merry safe Christmas to you all. xxx

  • <3

  • Great song should be number 1 for Christmas .

  • First class performance from virtually unknown military wifes & so moving.

    Their husbands must be so proud of them as they are with them.

    Let's hope it has put them on the map for a very long time.

    Full marks to Gareth Malone & the writer Paul Mealor too for bringing this lovely song into production.

    Merry Christmas to one & all!

  • Litterally had tears streaming!! Hope this gets to number 1 this year!!!

  • it may not be the greatest song ever written or sang...but this is the sweetest song and voices i've ever heard....but i feel the song....

  • hi im singing this tonite at my school performance, me and the choir but there are no solos, phewwww! and we have recorded this at skool and are going to get it put on bcc radio 2! plz look out for it maybe ne week! great song, at first i was like oh goshhhh this is gonna be hard coz of the high notes, but now i find it really fun! cant wait to sing it to nite even though ill be shakin soooo much! and shut up all the haters of this song thing, its AWESOME!! x

  • Links for buying & downloading this track are also on Gareth Malone's website - just google him!

    4 days to go!

  • Great song and good luck with getting it to number 1, we can't thank the guys and girls in the forces that put their lives on the line for both the UK & other countries

  • "May your courage never cease" thank you to all the brave men and women fighting everywhere. And may the courage of their loved ones never cease too.

    Beautiful song, and the images made me want to cry, I love the one of the children running up to their father by the plane :')

  • @1:10 my drama teacher! :)

  • love this so much

  • Totally don't support the hierarchy making decisions, totally do support the personnel away from their families obeying orders.

    And it's one in the eye for the x-factor tripe

    It's apathy that lets the tripe become acceptable, and this appears to be a sincere attempt to raise awareness. £1.49 to let the world know your choice.

  • @sunlit

    I'm one of those who pressed the dislike button.It's simply that I find the song weak,although

    the sentiments are admirable.

  • @harryandsimba totally agree. I wholeheartedly support the cause and would happily buy the single. I'll just never listen to it!

  • I can't watch this without a tear in my eye, well quite a few. My son is in the army in Australia, going to Afghanistan next year. This song is so beautiful and the show that went with it was inspiring too.

  • Outstanding... you inspire me to want to be a military wife!!!!

  • beautiful, touching and real, gareth and wives for number 1

  • must beat little mix!

  • 72 people only likes The XFactor songs

  • 71 people have hearts made of stone :(

  • Well Done Gareth, a lovely song:-) God bless to all the famalies, you really are an inspiration to me and everyone else watching, I hope you get the Christmas number 1 you really deserve it XXX

  • Such a lovely song and video. I hope it is Xmas no.1

  • this really needs to be christmas number 1. such a beautiful song.

  • It's so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.

  • how do we vote to get this to number 1 for xmas

  • @rebeccamorris56 Hi Rebecca, you can use the links in the description box to see where you can order it. Thanks for your support.

  • @rebeccamorris56 Hi, vote by not buying the manufactured crap that normally comes out at Christmas (X Facter etc.) and buy this instead. Your money will go to good causes and not some rich person's pocket. :-)

  • @rebeccamorris56 you have to buy it

  • Beautiful!

    I love Gareth Malone! The Military Wives for Xmas Number 1!

  • Beautiful!

    I love Gareth Malone! The Military Wives for Xmas Number 1!

  • Fantastic, absolutely fantastic, no matter what you may think of the conflict in Afghanistan, this is not about the politics of war, this is about what both serving members of the forces and their families and loved ones carry within their hearts. Forces wives/husbands are so often overlooked, this wonderful song and this fantastic project has opened the door allowing those who never gave "the wives" a second thought to see just how important they are.

    God Bless you all.

  • Stunning, heart wrenching and uplifting in one. As some others have said I may not agree with the reasons that we are currently involved in Afganistan or Iraq but I support our armed forces and their families 100%. Please download and knock the not so X factor off of the top spot for Christmas.

  • If X factor charts higher than this, i've lost all faith in our society.

  • These strong, courageous women deserve Christmas number 1

  • To the "dislikes": OK, maybe like me you don't think Britain should be in Iraq + Afghanistan, or maybe you're not a fan of choral music, but so what? The point is that these men + women are out there working in inconceivably difficult circumstances, risking their lives + limbs every day... on our behalf.

    So if their loved ones left behind want to record a song as a tribute, while also giving us a lot of pleasure and a break from the usual Xmas trash, I for one will back them to the hilt!

  • @sfdickens no offence but just to correct you when you say on our behalf, many people dont agree on the british army being out in these countries so that statement isnt completely right, however I respect what they are doing and the meaning behind this song is beautiful.

  • words can not express how wounderful this video and song is bless you all love maggie

  • thank you, you are all so very amazing xxx

  • oh my god i heard this on my way to work i had to pull over as i cryed so much i could not drive.... just played it again and cryed all over again.... bless all of our men where ever they are as they are the sons of our country and we love each one of them and the dogs who give them comfort while away... god iam sobing now bless you all come home safe all of you xxxxx

  • just get everyone you know to buy this brilliant track, and give our troops and their familes some great support.

  • My 3 year old can't understand why I'm crying... or which one is his daddy. Fabulous tribute to our amazing men or courage x

  • Absolutely  perfectly appropriate. Who ever thought up this idea should be given a medal. Well done. Not only a fitting tribute to our men overseas but also a fitting tribute to those who are holding the fort at home, so to speak.

  • My boyfriend is going to be posted out to Afgan soon and this song really touched me, These women are really inspirational and i really hope i can be as strong as them when he goes.

  • this just made me cry for the first time i have watched this song normally i am strong :')

  • Beautiful song beautifully sung. Lets make it Christmas Number 1 in the UK to show our support for all the armed forces that keep us safe.

  • Beautifully sung. As a musician myself, I love British choral music, and as a veteran (US Navy Retired) I appreciate all support for our troops including our allies. Buy this single; I know I shall.

  • How could you not like this song??? I just don't understand...

  • Very moving and poignant song .Well written produced and sung .Lets hope it gets to No1,

  • well done to all you brave, brave women and your husbands. I hope and pray for all of you. Lets help this get to number 1 xxxxxxxx

  • Such an amazing job! Well done everyone you should be so proud of yourselves :)

    I will be buying a copy and really hope this gets the christmas number 1 spot x

  • OMG this makes me cry. I have watched the BBC show and i loved them.

    I have ordered around 20 and sending them out to friends over christmas.

    Thank you to all the families of our troops, for the love and support you give our troops so that they can do they best for us.

  • I've just pre-ordered five copies on Amazon, just to help get it to number one. I'll give the 4 spare away as Christmas presents. Why doesn't everyone do the same; then it will go to number one.

  • Make this Xmas Number 1 in the Uk Charts and keep Xfactor off the top spot .....

  • What an amazing song - brought tears to my eyes, You wives and girlfriends are so amazing and strong. Sometimes it is forgotten how your lives are so affected too. These soldiers are amazing men who are out on the frontline. May you all have a very merry Christmas and all your families be together as one soon. x

  • So inspirational - it sends out the perfect message to loved ones far and wide - Wishing every success with this and any future releases (sure there will be a huge call for more) x

  • well done ladies! A great job.

  • wow, amazing, right behind chris evans with this song for no1 for xmas..

  • This is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! it brought a tear to my eye! i love it and im gonna buy it! this has to be the Christmas number one!

  • brings tears to my eyes every time.. this has to be christmas number 1!

  • The most lasting lyrics are simple, heartfelt words. This is a masterpiece! Bravo Paul Mealor, Bravo ladies! Bravo Britain! - from a Yank in Las Vegas

  • wow, awesome!

  • Beautiful.

  • Thank you.

  • It's wonderful, and I for one will be buying it. I'd rather my miserable contribution went towards the men who guard our Country, than to be sniffed up the nose of some X Factor wannabee.

  • Beautiful and so very moving, God Bless you all and A Merry Christmas.

  • omg!! So moving. I cant stop crying. My heart goes out to all the families of 'our boys and girls' serving in the military. This has to get to number one this Christmas. Stay safe. xx

  • What a lovely song! I cry every time i hear it because it is so powerful! Good luck ladies, i hope you are number 1 for Xmas instead of whoever wins the Xfactor! You deserve it! :)

  • Beautiful...Merry Xmas to all of you ..and God Bless you all..xxxooo

  • Is someone chopping onions ?

  • I've been following the TV series about these wonderful singing women, Gareth has done a fabulous job training the women's voices, and this performance is amazing! I had to watch it twice over because I was crying too much watching it first time round! The men are doing an amazing job out there on the front line, and they should be proud of their sweethearts for their part putting this wonderful song together!

  • Even though this song will make me cry everytime i listen to it and think of my brave best friend fighting for us, i will download this- it goes to a good cause and is a beautiful song.

  • Absolutely amazing. I can only assume that the dislikes come from the rag heads. Well done ladies you’ve done everyone proud even old vets like myself xx

  • Wonderful song! So pleased it's being released as a download! I watched the choir series and loved it! I watched the festival of remembrance and you were brilliant! From the first time I heard it I couldn't stop singing it, and the words stick in your memory! I'm definitely going to buy it! Really want to support you guys! Would love it to make the top spot in the charts! x

  • Thankyou for making this and making your lovely voices heard - it can be very lonely when the other half is away even if only doing days on end in PJHQ at the mo. Its easy to forget the other fabby ladies who are staying strong and not letting anyone realize they get down days too!!!! Well done!!!

  • Got to be Christmas No.1. Was lovely to see the ladies growing in confidence and becoming so close.

  • I love this song and find myself walking round the house humming the tune. Hope this is this years number 1 at Christmas. God Bless all the men and Women of our Armed Forces and also their families who wait at home. x

  • such a beautiful song, perfect for Christmas number 1. Many thanks to my nephew Luke, just returned from Afganistan.

  • @100024686 glad to hears he's back, presumably safely

  • 1 word........AWSOME

  • OMG. I cry like a river to hear this wonderful song, T_T

  • what a beautiful song let this be no.1 instead of rubbishy x factor for this christmas

  • what a beautiful song let this be no.1 instead of rubbishy x factor

  • @MsKarenpowell I know! these poor wives deserve that much more than anyone else! They have to go through stress and worrying if their loved ones are still out there, or if they are no longer breathing! this whole Afghanistan war is complete rubbish, we have got nowhere, but of course there are other reasons that are good for this war.

    I think that this is much better than all that cheap xmas rubbish, although there are still a few good xmas singles.

  • Gareth Malone O.B.E. #newyearshonours For this, and all the other great work he has done.
