  • R.I.P fallen soldiers you make us so proud xxx all my love krysi

  • I would like to retract my previous comment. Upon investigation I realise that any song written by a Downes should in fact be applauded, given the difficulties they face.

  • you guys do us proud, your songs make me wanna cry, keep up the good work. R.I.P to all fallen soldiers <3 x

  • @steven03206 I am 36 and from London.

  • i miss you daddy rip xxxx your little girl is missing you so much 9/1/62 - 21/12/11

  • @nutterper im so sorry...im sitting here crying to this..i hope your father is watching over and protecting my Warrior..they are brothers forever <3

  • wat a beautiful and emotional song the 9 ppl who pressed dislike dont have a heart rip to all our brave soldiers

  • beautiful song x

  • wtf is this

  • this makes me cry. so much. all my respect goes out to out boys fighting out there and their families.

  • Maybe one day the soldiers will record in my studio....who know...

  • regardless of colour,nationality, sexuality or class this song is beautiful regardless of the connection behind the song. Times of death, grief and loss are times for people to but there differences behind them. Realise life is too short so stop bickering and live it.

  • basher bishop do u no y this song was mad from wat i read obversily not do have any respect for people for british soilder or american soilder do u

  • I am not a "paki" or a "raghead" I just think this song is shit.

  • @basherbishop how old are u and where u from

  • @steven03206 he's probably around 6 and from a city which only plays hip hop.

  • Love this so much. :')

  • A new fan, well done The Soldiers for doing both the fallen and serving heroes of our armed forces proud. I could not be more proud of the guys and gals who have gave their lives and those who risk their lives day in and day out for this country and her people. It is only because of our armed forces that I am able to say that I am proud to be British, love to you all and keep up the good work.

  • heros of the future deserve respect and love . people who hate this song are dick heads . i love all the soliders who wrote this song my best mate is going in and i wish her all the best . good luck lads and lasses . i give you all the love luck and love ever well done

  • well done guys, keep up the good work and do our troops proud!!!!

  • never forget the time they played this at old trafford! everyone was in silence! real tribute to tony downes! RIP

  • new fan...

  • i think this was a great idea to make the last letters of a solider into a song ..... RIP to all the british Heroes that have died......... this world needs more decent people like Soldiers and than maybe we wouldn't have all this shit going on in the world.... R.I.P

  • For those of us who have had to write the "last letter home" this is such an evocative song and trust me it is the hardest thing you will ever have to write, to those you might be leaving behind. Trying to make sure yiu say everything you never had time to say before, to try and explain that you did the job to make a difference and that everyone should be happy knowing you died doing the job you loved and that you will miss all those close to you.

  • R.I.P. our Heroes up in heaven together. The decent people of this country thank you from the bottom of their hearts.

  • TT_TT

  • ENOUGH ! All of you who are bickering on here, hang your heads in shame! This is a TRIBUTE to ALL our BRAVE FALLEN HEROES who gave THEIR LIVES for YOUR FREEDOM so show THEM the RESPECT THEY are DUE on THIS PAGE and keep your childish bickering to your INBOXES that's what they are for !!! GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN. RIP HEROES.

  • Would it kill y'all to be civil over a beautiful piece of music for once? You're like children.

  • my brother goes to afghanistan tomorrow, love you jay xxx

  • @geordieemma1996 Best of luck to him!

    

  • When i think about the wars these soldiers are going to, it angers me that i got rejected for something as stupid as eczma!!!! These are the guys who inspire me. Not because they have no choice but to kill at times, but because they are saving our sorry asses! People need to get a fucking grip. Im getting a job as a reporter and i hope i can focus on the sector of war. My whole life is for the military, it's my passion, these guys are amazing! Best of luck to you all, Always!

  • Fuck the 4 People that disliked this Especially if they Live in England They are out there putting their lives on the line Just for the sake of this country so you should be ashamed of urselves u disrespectful asses!

    WHEN A HERO DIES AND ANGEL IS BORN!!!

  • Fuck George bush for draggin us into a war that had fuck all to do with us, it was their war not OURS its America's fualt why this song was made! even though its beautiful, if we hadn't followed America, those brave men + women would still be here today R.I.P

  • How can you not llike any of these songs the money raised goes to OUR MEN who spend their xmas fighting someone elses war .. and dont get to see their newborns!!!! so if you do notr like it please dont comment because so much hard work goes into raising money for our men. PS i love you come home soon

  • This song is so moving, brings tears to my eyes every time i hear it. As for the retards who dislike it, what can i say. I agree with Laurenn22233, no doubt the very scum who burnt poppies on Remembrance day.

  • raised £1400 for H4H and want to raise much more in 2011 please inbox me for more information !

  • @trustcola keep up the good work in the war

  • makes me cry everytime

  • Sorry Replay buttin but u r gunna get Raped :D

  • wow this is beautiful

  • stay safe boys and girls <3

  • love this song and love the soldiers everytime i listen it brings a tar to my eye and sends a shiver down my spine

  • @capper342

    Your pakis and ragheads?

  • @capper342 Can you not generalise please. I have a lot of friends in the Army and one in the Air Force. I am Indian and intend to join the British Army as soon as I finish university. This is a very touching song and I have liked the video

  • @stawberryjamful Good job mate, what are you going to do in the army?

  • @jas881 I will be studying medicine at university and hopefully join the Royal Army Medical Corps and be and officer

  • @stawberryjamful good luck on that mate

  • @stawberryjamful good look :) bet you'll do great :)

  • @capper342 Well done, you have shown perfectly what is wrong with society today. The fact that you claim to love your country and hate "paki's and ragheads", yet you can't even speak the fucking language.

    Long live the British Empire! Land of the thick cunt!

  • @capper342 Oh, and the song's shit too.

    Enjoy.

  • @capper342 if u mean sikhs and indians and shit by rag heads fuck you, we aint terrorists, BUT if u dont mean sikhs and indians, <3

  • @capper342 what makes you think that you have the right to make such a bigoted assumption as that?

  • @kholla4 He is an army boy, they are all racists, that's why we send the fuckers off to get shot, the ones that do come back end up making lame as fuck music like this or proping up a bar, Britain makes some of the best music in the world and they think they can represent us with this ? So bad it is actually quite offensive to British culture.

  • @SpankyRavenscroft go die in a pit somewhere. lets see you make something better when you're remembering the faces of your friends, no, brothers, who endured horrible deaths for the country and people they love. I can't believe I'm one day going to endure hell so that animals like you have the right to spread hate.

    God Save The Queen, our brave boys will save the rest of us.

  • @SpankyRavenscroft you're statement there makes you just as bad as him. We send them off to protect our country, they come back and they are let down repeatedly by the government. And how is this representing Britain? It's a heartfelt song with true meaning, something which is missing from an awful lot of the music in today's society. People such as you, who have no respect for the people putting their lives on the line to serve our nation are those who are truly offensive to British culture.

  • the three people who dislike must be retarded. Bril song

  • I have an amazing friend in the US Marines who I write to all the time.. this song makes me cry whenever I hear it.. whoever disliked this has no heart.

  • Just two-word,s GREAT SONG

  • Such a Beautiful song, Brings tears to my eyes. Shows that these men and women fighting for our country are not machines, they may be trained to kill but not born to kill. R.I.P all fallen soldiers forever in our hearts and God bless all the brave men and women serving, forever in our minds.

  • omg,just listened to this song for the first time cant stop crying,its a beautiful song god bless each and everyone of you fighting and fallen for doing your duty and fighting for our country may god keep those still fighting safe and bring you home to a heros welcome to your families and loved ones xx

  • this song will be forever in my hart

  • i love how they made a letter he write incase he died into this great song

  • such a lovely sonng xx

  • WHO EVER DISLIKED THIS SONG GROW UP....its about a soldier who lost his life serving for the British army...trying to make the WORLD a better place and keep the British people safe..

  • Comment removed

  • This song is so sad ! A beautiful young man barely 20 years old killed in Helmund Province in 2007 ! Brings a tear to my eye every time i hear it ! may every one of our troops come back safe & well ! Our military are the finest & bravest in the world & we should all be proud of them !

  • The person who disliked this should be ashamed. But then again its probably the same person who burnt our poppies on remeberance day |:

  • I actually can't stop listening to this song. It's making me upset as I'm thinking of what I might lose and the precious lives that have been lost, but it's so beautiful!

  • <3 Simply beautiful <3. RIP all our brave soldiers who have fought for our country. November 11th is a special day dedicated to all of you, but you'll be the hearts of your loved ones everyday. You will never be forgotten!

    My 2 best friend's are in the British Army; both of which will be fighting in Afghanistan in 11 months. I am so proud of both of you! Once I pass my soldier training I'll be joining you as a Combat Medical Technician, where I hope I will do my country justice!

  • what a song i was driving when i heard this on the radio , i had to pull over and cry

  • respect to all the forces quality song

  • Can i partly dedicate this song to a beautiful girl called jodie.

  • so so so so so sad APPRECIATE THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE PEOPLE. RIP to all the fallen soldiers passed and present. thank you for my freedom i hope one day i can make you all proud

  • taxi for swimsuitissue123

  • Comment removed

  • @swimsuitissue123 you are very ignorant to the family and extended family of our proud troops. The target audience as you put it is no such thing. My brother fought in Iraq recently, I was very lucky to get him home in one piece. Others are not so lucky. However, we all feel the pain of those brave men and women who do not return alive. I will support these guys in their music. They raise money through their music which may I add is very close to their hearts as serving soldiers. SHAME ON YOU

  • @brawlass Not really. I have family and friends who are in the army too. I still think this song is tasteless, it feeds on emotions without giving a solution. Others are not so lucky no and I share this sorrow for their family and friends. However I also feel pain for all the innocent civilians killed all across the world by British and American troops. People tend to be more ignorant of this. And I just felt this song makes the whole thing a joke. I am allowed to state my opinoin.

  • @swimsuitissue123 They made this song from a last letter by a dead soldier.

  • @swimsuitissue123 At no point did I say you were not entitled to your opinion. However, I am also entitled to mine. Just try to accept the song for what it is. No solution - obviously. THAT is not the reason for it. I have to wonder about your 'innocent civilians' comment - and in turn your actual real thoughts for OUR troops. However, I do not wish to hear your thoughts on this as your comment said enough. Read the posts above. I am not the only one questioning your post.

  • @brawlass Ok. I accept your views completely with an open mind. I accept the song 'for what it is' too...

  • Beautiful song - a lasting tribute to neil and all service personnel who are sadly no longer with us. R.I.P

  • just watched this too on tv... how moving x x how young  x x

  • just watched these boys on alan titchmarsh show , was really sad. They did say the song was based on a soldiers letter he had written and that it was on u tube. I didnt hear the soldiers name and dont know what to look out for on you tube, does anyone know?

  • made me crying my absolute eyes out just saw it on the alan titschmarsh show and had to leave the room coz my mum was sittin there haha... such a beautiful song.. makes me think how precious life is and everyone in it is. RIP Tony Downes

  • It is just so emotional watching the videos and listening to your songs ... I can't even begin to imagine how all the soldiers feel having to be out there fighting ... away from home and the people you love ... I just want to say a very big massive THANK YOU ... for everything all the service men and women do for our country and world wide!! I genuinely respect and honour you all!!

  • So moving! I'm actually crying, the song is so beautifully sang and has so much emotion. Can't wait to get the new CD, loved the first one! Inspired me alot. Once again, thank you :)

  • omg i just read the story of the young soldier about his last letter home and had 2 hear the song such a moveing song god bless all the soldiers fighting and please bring them all home safe and r.i.p to all the brave soldiers who sadly didnt make it .

  • Such a moving song, done with great sensitivity. The Soldiers are a credit to the Armed Forces, and should be very proud of themselves for what they are doing.

    The family of the young soldier - whose Letter home this is - were very brave to let The Soldiers put the words into a song,

    Well done to all
