different gravey!! sends shivers down my spine such an amazing voice, im learning this musical it makes it so hard to live up to that standard and being afraid of ruining the song!!
I remember the first time I ever heard Colm Wilkinson sing "Bring Him Home." It was during a PBS special about rehearsals for the then-new musical, "Les Miserables." I was taping it, and recall my feeling of breathlessness and suspended animation while he sang this. That crystal-clear final note had me in tears.
Of course, one of the kids later taped over the performance.
the summer beat summer school showchoir program at pleasant hill middle/high school is doing this as their ballad, i trust it will be a beautiful work of art and it makes me so proud to know that they will be performing such an amazing tribute to our soldiers. luv ya and god bless
This song tears my heart out. My dearest son came home in a box. I never thought I'd outlive him. Please, end the war in Iraq. There are too many men and women coming home maimed and dead.
sorry for your lose . damn those politicians , how they play with people life . many died , thousands from both sides for what , for an oil . our life dont worth a bottle of oil in politicans eyes
so moving and in line with the story it makes you so sad and it relates to something that just happened in my life too.wont bore you all with the details.beautiful though.
Am crying watching & listening to this was a Royal Marine and emotions are raely unlocked. You totally understand & have done us all proud. Thank you.
I have held this song sacred and so close to my heart for over 10 years and now adding the footage of the troops makes this song more powerful than ever. Thanks
Thank you. I'm a huge fan of the Les Mis London cast and perhaps an even bigger opponent to the war in Iraq. While on a Les Mis kick ... I stumbled across this incredibly stirring tribute. I sent the link to everyone I knew ... thank you.
I do apreciate the time you took to honor our soldiers, though I do disagree with the sentiment of brining them home. They are where they need to be, I only regret not being able to join them for medical reasons.
Colm Wilkinson is sssooo good! Thanks for dedicating this to the soldiers in Iraq. I don't know any, but i feel sorry for them for fighting in one of the most pointless wars ever
My husband is an amateur actor, performer, Social Worker, and a recent Iraq Veteran. We have always loved this song and this show. Since returning, this show and many of its other wonderful songs have new meaning for him, and us. He is not a Tenor so he is unable to sing this song but often sings "Empty Chairs and Empty Tables" with a dedication to people he knew, and did not know, that lost their lives serving our country. We appreciate the sentiment.
Les Mis is the No. 1 musical for a reason and if this doesnt help prove it i dont know what will! Over 25 years and still running strong.
