It isn't easy to sing an eight minute song. John keeps this tolling forward. This song moves ahead like a lare model Asian car that just had a tuneup and is rolling on four new Michelins. I think he holds notes for an extra second between words thus giving the sound such great continuity.. His singing has so much richness. Almost every line pulls at your heart. He really soars on high from 6:20 to 6;32. Relatively few people know this song, but everyone should experience it.
I bought the John McDermott CD about 15 years ago. I thought Willie McBride and the Band Played Waltzing Matilda were old, old songs. I know WM was composed in 1893, but had no idea these 2 songs came from 1971 and 1976. Eric Bogle is a genius and I don't consider my day done until I have played some Patterson, Clancys, McDermott, and Irish Tenors..
I actually think the original video has more reverb and timbre. Amazing job of adding all the stills and videos in the background. Thank you so much for doing this. I think this is only John McDermott, the other Tenors are not heard here. Eric Bogle is a genius, and. McDermott's voice soars. I showed this to my friend yesterday. We have listened to it at least ten times since then.
This should be shown to every young man with romatizised dreams of battle glory. What a sad waste of human life. Why would a nation send its' sons to war so far away with no reasons directly affecting their shores.
Lovely melody, sung well, but I do not know if I agree with the sentiments.If he thought war was going to be fun he found out otherwise.what is gone is gone, be thankful that he lived and his side won. It may have been vastly different if the germans had won?
I think this rendering of waltzing matilda was absolutely beautiful ,shame about the words being not quite right ,but that was made up for the lovely strong voice (or voices ) which in my estimation was superb ,from a grateful POM.
Very touching indeed ,my grandfather survived and made it home to Scotland from that and all the restof 1914 ~ 1918 . Have'nt seen your new posting yet but the lyrics on this could maybe be a size or two bigger . Thank you .
This is a good version of this song,however,if you want to listen to the best version ever,also,the best version of willie mcbride,then get the version by the clancey brothers,the original and best,john is a GREAT singer,but this is not the best.God Bless you all .
What splendid tribute to the men of ANZAC! The video goes so well with the song. Nice touch including that clip of the Turks. I'm going to look at the improved version, but this was great, warts and all!
A fitting tribute to the guys who went to war. Far better than these ridiculous government/military affairs that seem to be more for the c**** who sent them.
Sorry mate. This song is *NOT* "Waltzing Matilda." It is "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda." Two different songs. Mind you, this is a very fine song. Try the Eric Bogle version, too.
My great uncle Robert Hilston of the 1st/5th Royal Scots Fusiliers,killed in action at Gallipolli 12 July 1915 aged 18 yrs. born and enlisted in Ayr Scotland,son of James and Sarah Hilston of Limmonds Wynd Ayr Scotland.he has no known grave but is rembered on the comemorative plaque at Helles Memorial Turkey,panel 72-75.this song has touched my very soul,we have nothing left of uncle Robert ,but now i have this song.i thank you..Hugh Kerr Hilston great nephew of Robert Hilston .
the ten dislikes are simple minded folk who have no thought or regard for what ppl are willing to do for there beliefs and honor. all ten of you are sad sad people.
@Milamber7t8 Here here as those ten do not not know what the words represent as they talk of the hell of war. For those that have seen fires of it they will never want it. Here is for peace from a vet who has seen the fire of hell through war.
This is one of the most moving songs I have ever heard, regardless the version. I never hear it without tears. The line "the young people ask 'what are they marching for'" screams in its quietness how quickly we forget. Hats off and a prayer for every soldier who ever fought in any war. And for those who will do so in future.
As a marine veteran of vietnam, I listen to this song every couple of months and sit quietly remembering all the good boys I served with that died. this song should be sung at every veteran funeral. I know I will ask that it be sung at mine.
This song, Willie McBride and Christmas in the Trenches along with Les Mis songs Empty Chairs at Empty Tables and Bring Him Home touch me deeply. I think of all those who died in war and were seriously injured and remember all wounds are not visible and think of some PTSD suicides. I especially remember the Marines I served with 3/1 VietNam SLF. In memory of Douglas Lentz KIA 2-29-68 we will never forget

as a Turkish man, i love this song, as it points out the saddness of war. every year people from Australia and new zealand, and Turkiye, young and old, civilians and officials, come together in Gallipoli for commemoration of those bloody days. it is the ONLY example in the world, that invaders and defendants come together for memorandum. after the Gallipoli campaign, the founder of Turkiye, Ataturk said this............
@turk449 Ataturk said "Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours...
You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
@MsSloppyseconds: good on you I have been having this argument on another site for yonks but some of these blokes are hard to convince. Go to vietnam war you tube some weird ones there.
Great, brave song. Like most of the conflicts in our history-the poor man's fight and a rich man's war. I'm a military history buff-and most wars gain neither side anything that lasts 20 years.
I love this song it's beautiful and I've been singing it for 20 years. This version is very good though the words are not right. My pet hate, if you add lyrics to anything please make sure they are right. It spoils this for me.
@helen60199 You are right, this version is the old version. I have made a newer, better, version with the right lyrics and also corrected video. If you look below the video above, you can see the link for the new version.
@helen60199 "Pet peeve," I believe is the term. And I don't recognize these lyrics either. I first heard this song in my World History class, an original recording. But still, it's beautifully done.
@helen60199 "Pet peeve," I believe is the term. I don't think the lyrics, I think this is just a different version. I first heard the song in my world history class, only it was the Irish version. So I'm not sure the lyrics are wrong, they're just Australian. It's very beautifully done.
@oldknapper If only you could READ. Then you would have read that there is a Revised version. And if that is all of the comments that you can give, I wonder why you even waste time commenting.

A moving tribute by Pres Kemal Ataturk, the commander at Suvla:
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... . Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side now here in this country of ours... you, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land. They have become our sons as well.
We want all of you stupid people to go and fight for us. We'll give you some stupid excuses for starting the war which you will believe.The more of you die, the better for us! We'll get richer and we'll give you cheap medals and funerals and patriotic songs and flags to die for.
Don't worry, we'll keep you stupid in the future, too. We'll implant chips in your brains so you will obey without thinking.
We understand democracy. We are the rulers of the world! Thanks for having elected us.
@Brunders08 'Betray your Country serve your Class don't sign up for war my friend' .....Spoken by John McClean at an AntiConscription Rally on the Clydeside 1915.....
My grandfather served in WW1, my father served in WW2 and I served in Vietnam. One would think after all the killing, wounding and heartache we would learn but no, we go on killing and what do we achieve? I listened to my grandfather I listned to my father but did I hear what they said? NO! Now I too am suffering. Eric Bogle got it right when he said "there are worst things than dying". I don't reckon I'm any different mate cos what I've got left ain't worth talking about.
@sadsack324 - I understand what you are saying & we all realise the futility of war but some leaders/warmongers DO need to be stopped aka Hitler et al. THANK YOU for your service & your honesty. I just hope that you have sought assistance to realise YOU ARE WORTH IT and that YOUR service IS respected by most! I hope you come to realise YOU are worth more than is reflected by your comments & I hope you find an inner peace. You deserve that. Hope ANZAC Day was good & not too painful for you!
@Lady71K Thank You for your kind comments. Unfortunately just like the soldier at the centre of this song I too can no longer "waltz my matilda". The carnage of war destroys every aspect of a young man's life. I don't know any heroes just very sad old men.
@sadsack324 I am so sorry you can no longer waltz your matilda - whether that be physically or metaphorically. I know you do not see yourself in this light, but those who have served before me ARE my heroes and I wish I could just take away the sadness because you HAVE done our nation proud. You ARE worth it and I will always think of one like yourself when such topics are discussed.
@sadsack324 Yet the politicians all seem to favor the military being in Iraq and Afaghanastan. They are making money for Halliburton and Blackwater and who knows who else.
@sadsack324 Bravo, to you & to PiuViccino! The grim truth is that WWI was a criminal war foisted on the poor troops & civilians by the cynical & (hell, the truth is the truth) by the evil leaders of ALL the belligerent countries (and their generals,admirals, gutless clergy & news liars. There were no exceptions, certainly not the arch liars Churchill &Wilson, "he kept us out of war". Like so many, I lost lots of family & those who survived were permanently scared. Fuc*k war! It lead to WWII
Great song! "Fighting for peace is like fuc*ing for chastity." The only heros are the brave nonviolent who openly oppose war & the superich! Bravo for the world-wide anti war and rape of 99% of human kind movement: Occupy! occupy! occupy! till all of today's economic & war criminals are replaced by decent peace and justice people who are saving the planet & our futures. Down with Obama & ALL toadies of the world's 1% throughout the word. Peace & justice for all, even the misguided cops.
@tom500k Perhaps the time for dying for country hierarchy and corporate interest is unjust? I'll not waste myself for that sort. Nor have my kin does the same. Allegedly they work for us. If so then let them fight for we are no longer available.
@tom500k You would have lasted 1 sec if the germans or japs had won in WW2. You stupid jerk, of cause there were stupid mistakes and we suffered for it. But only if everyone were pacifists could your Utopia be a reality. Your O bama is better than the reagens,clintons and the bastard bushes. this song is about us Australians who were sent to turkey by that idiot Churchill and then landed in the wrong place. You americans should be grateful for what your services and allies did in 2 world wars

Just remember this, once again young Australian men are suffering but this time it's at the behest of the yanks and their "war on terror". Terror is bad enough but is that justification for prosecuting another "bloody" war? I think not!
This song says it all and the clip just brings the reality of it all home. I sat and listened to my uncles and grandfather stories growing up but they just didn't seem real, not till i saw your clip. Ty :)
Thats what Isaid 357.HFC. But note that Tom Wait's version (and Rod Stewart) ARE to the tune of the original Waltzing Matilda. Bogle's / Mc Dermott /Pogues The Band Played Waltzing Matilda is a different tune, a different song. My point is that the words used by Waits derive from the bleak and sad sentiment of Bogle about the Gallipoli debacle
you did do a great job. thanks. I think of all our forefathers who left england went to places like the me (U.S.), my next door neighbors in Manitoba, Canada, and to Australia and then went around the world to defend our shared home. does England understand what we have done for her, but then do we understand what opportunities she gave us, and so many from around the world in places like N Amer, Australia, NZ, and others?
@nddad6 Intensive search on the internet for actual (excluding a few illustrations) images and clips, and a few video clips from documentaries about the actual events. The revised version of this (see above) is better. In this version the height/width was screwed up.
my grandfather was at Gladioli 8 th Cheshire's 13 Division. .Anzac Officers diary states they were well received. Whole division to replace the dead and wounded and the major casualty sickness
@PiuViccino I appreciate your sentiment but listen to the lyrics. There ARE worst things than dying! My advice to you is not to be in such a hurry to go to war. It's dirty, dangerous and "soul destroying". I don't think any veteran would argue with that. I blame the "movie makers" for sensationalising war because in their films they don't show what happens after war when you come home and find you can't relate to anyone. Don't be in such a hurry my friend.
A great lesson about not starting wars in foreign lands just to make a few rich people even richer. And frankly that's what all wars are about. Freedom and peace are not furthered by invading poor countries. Peace will only come when people refuse to be pawns.
@Txsray How and where do you propose to start this Utopia, when you do I would be the first to go, the Swiss were neutral ,not pawns, they just allowed the Nazis to send money to their banks and helped them find homes in Argentina with help of the Perrone's, Greed,Hate,Bigotry,Religious fervir, start wars, stop this, and the people that profit from wars would have empty theatres, and we would have fewer loved ones in graves, How dare you call men and women pawns,who died for your freedom.

Only the dead have seen the end of war. Until we die or the end of the age, we need to be on our knees thanking God for the men (usually young) who go in harms' way for the sake of our liberty. The Aussies who fought, died, and gave more than their lives at Sulva Bay were ill led and horribly over matched yet they stood fast for their country. Heroes badly spent but heroes nonetheless. This ballad should remind us of heroes and resolve to only shed their blood for a noble cause.
To, our Australian Comrades in Arms , we have shared so much & still do !! You are held in the highest esteem !!! We know & still sing your songs !!! although we are not sure if you know or sing ours , but we can all sing enough for each !!!
@enginebelly You make a good point , but men don't rush to wars,my grandfather,my father in the 40's,his bother(who died) inthe 50's,myself in the 60's, and on and on. Countries make wars, not men or women, anyone who has fought in a war did so, to uphold a way of life and ptotect there families. Wars today seems so far and pointless to you, you would change your mind very quick, if someone kicked in your front door and started killing your family.
@peter13339 My point was not intended to offend those brave men who gave their lives for freedom and to save the lives of others. We all need heroes. It just saddens me that after so many wars over so many years the fight is still not over. If history teaches us nothing then we will never learn. An eye for an eye leaves us all blind.
@enginebelly I hope that we can all someday reach that goal,until then,as a religious man I hope and pray for the best, but as mortal men we can only cross the road that is put in our path.My family is also in Australiaand I have relatives who lost son's at Sulva Bay, I remeber my father who fought in North Africa,as he cried, telling me that I would never be the same when I left. He was right, I have had a good life,my soul may be damned, but I have hope that God has a place for me. Thank you
Thank you for posting this video. John McDermotts version of this classic song about one of histories great tragedys it brings one to tears. These men were sent on a neasr suicide mission. I am currently trying to convince one of my very good friends not to go to war. He is a distance runner and I cant imagine him without the ability to do that. When will all these stupid wars end?When will we learn to treat our veterans with respect.
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side now here in this country of ours... you, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land. They have become our sons as well.
This is a fine ballad that tells a story. WW1 was terrible for the soldiers who fought it. My grandfather on my mother's side was in the British army in the Great War and he fought at Gallipoli (what this song is about) and at the Somme, both of which were bloody disasters. I was soldier in the Viet Nam, serving as a machine gunner on a helicopter with the 1st Cavalry Division. And the wars go on.
Had the opportunity in 1969 to go on R&R to Australia and fell in love with the place and people. Had always planned to go back, but the years have gone by and looks like I may not make it. Every time I hear Waltzing Matilda, this song and many of the songs of Slim Dusty, it makes me think of my stay there.
This is one of my favorite songs by John McDermott, such heart wrenching words with the most beautiful haunting melody. Your video is well done, and I think we are finally learning from our past mistakes. I always thought John McDermott has the voice of an angel. Thank you for posting this. God Bless.
I had the wonderful privalege of living and working in Perth, Western Australia in the mid-1980's. I love Australia and the Australian people who suffered mightily in the battle of Gallipoli during the first world war. God bless them.
Why is this listed above as being sung by the Irish Tenors? They never sang this in their lives. Why would they? I do, however, appreciate the words being shown.
@kunukia No he's not anymore. He's been replaced by both Karl Scully AND they've been re-united with Ronan Tynan. John hasn't been with them for a couple years. My point for writing initially was to make the point that the Irish Tenors themselves never recorded or sang this song as was listed above. John McDermott does NOT the Irish Tenors make.
True. But I was just pointing out why it was so labeled. He is associated in peoples minds with them. Your point is correct, just answering your question, and I apologize for not giving perfectly current data.
@kunukia Oh no. Please. I meant nothing amiss regarding your statement. You're absolutely correct that John was indeed a member of the Tenors, one of the originals I recall. It's that labelling that's incorrect. As a staunch IT fan, I still like John's Danny Boy Collection, where this song is from, as one of his best.
From a yank in the states, thanks to you Aussies for your bravery and sacrifice....not just you guys but to all the men and women who served their countries! Let's hope and pray that there will come a day when there will be no more wars, but until that day let us not forget those who put their lives on hold to answer their country's call.
I love this song, and I love everyone that is willing to give it go although my all time favourite version of this song is done by the greatest of great aussie, John Williamson. Have a listen if you haven't heard it, its awesome.
Beautiful and poignant song about wars. In Beauty of Melody and in poignancy of lyrics, it stands alongside another masterpiece called: 'UNIVERSAL SOLDIER', by Buffy Sainte-Marie. I can only say: 'How many men will it takes till he knows that TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED', just as Bob Dylan in his song: ' Blowin' In The Wind.'
Dieses Lied bewegt mich immer wieder zu Tränen. McDermotts Interpretation ist große Klasse. Vielen Dank fürs Einstellen.

as a Turkish man, i love this song, as it points out the saddness of war. every year people from Australia and new zealand, and Turkiye, young and old, civilians and officials, come together in Gallipoli for commemoration of those bloody days. it is the ONLY example in the world, that invaders and defendants come together for memorandum. after the Gallipoli campaign, the founder of Turkiye, Ataturk said this............

Thats what Isaid 357.HFC. But note that Tom Wait's version (and Rod Stewart) ARE to the tune of the original Waltzing Matilda. Bogle's / Mc Dermott /Pogues The Band Played Waltzing Matilda is a different tune, a different song. My point is that the words used by Waits derive from the bleak and sad sentiment of Bogle about the Gallipoli debacle

It's dirty, dangerous and "soul destroying". I don't think any veteran would argue with that. I blame the "movie makers" for sensationalising war because in their films they don't show what happens after war when you come home and find you can't relate to anyone. Don't be in such a hurry my friend.

Only the dead have seen the end of war. Until we die or the end of the age, we need to be on our knees thanking God for the men (usually young) who go in harms' way for the sake of our liberty. The Aussies who fought, died, and gave more than their lives at Sulva Bay were ill led and horribly over matched yet they stood fast for their country. Heroes badly spent but heroes nonetheless. This ballad should remind us of heroes and resolve to only shed their blood for a noble cause.

This is a fine ballad that tells a story. WW1 was terrible for the soldiers who fought it. My grandfather on my mother's side was in the British army in the Great War and he fought at Gallipoli (what this song is about) and at the Somme, both of which were bloody disasters. I was soldier in the Viet Nam, serving as a machine gunner on a helicopter with the 1st Cavalry Division. And the wars go on.

@kunukia No he's not anymore. He's been replaced by both Karl Scully AND they've been re-united with Ronan Tynan. John hasn't been with them for a couple years.

@kunukia Oh no. Please. I meant nothing amiss regarding your statement. You're absolutely correct that John was indeed a member of the Tenors, one of the originals I recall.
