Like this version a lot, but prefer Daniel Boys' version. Colm has great range and emotion, but too intense and hard for stage musicals. Love the vid. Thanks redwingnine, lets hope they all come home very soon, whoever they are. One of my best pals in Helmand at the moment. He is gay, and his guy is waiting for him. God Bless all the Forces whoever they are and wherever they come from.
umm. This is not colm wilkinson. This guy is good, but this is not colm wilkinson. Go and watch any other video of colm wilkinson singing this, and tell me whether he sounds like this. Please actually find out who the real person is.
Just like to add that this is without question one of the most moving videos I've ever seen, not the most exciting, but undoubtably incredibly moving and powerful.
Thank you redwingnine, I almost cried. You have talent.
Being a pro-lifer, I'm utterly amazed at the religious right wing Republcans who claim to be pro-life, yet they support a regime who believes in preemptive warfare and the senseless killing of tens and hundreds of thousands of American soldiers and Iragis. Does pro life only mean unborn babies? I think not. May God have mercy on this outgoing president.
You are so right GAry. Pro Life is more than about the fetus; It is qulaity health care a clean environment; it is peace; it is investing in early childhood education.. and so much more ther is so much hypocracy..
Waht great and impacting music and visulas... I love Les Miz...Thanks to whomever put this together...
that's exactly what i was doing...and what i was saying. i am pro-life and anti-war...which is still killing and murdering. it's the neo-republicans who say they're for life when it comes to abortions, but think nothing of killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people in war. the same neo-conservatives who initiated genocide on the american indians. it's you who makes no sense. Christ...a liberal and conservative...hates killing of any kind.
no He does not. that was the old testament law in leviticus. Jesus killed no one. He always rebuked His disciples when they wanted to bring calamity to those they thought to be their enemies. Christ gave water to the samaritans. Christ healed the son of a roman warrior. He didn't strike back when beaten and scourged. Christ gave us a new way of living without violence. War and killing are the ways of evil leaders. and that's "His" word.
very sorry then. i apologize. it is hard to tell the mood/attitude in emails and webtexts. i think the hardest thing for all of us to grasp..all of us sinners...is that Christ brought a whole new way of life for us to try to live by. LOVING your neighbor as yourself. probably the hardest thing we can do. we all get so caught up in this "entitlement" age. peace to you and again, my apologies.
well if we didn't have inadequate intelligence agencies around the world, we wouldn't be in this mess now would we? Shows just how much government messes things up for its citizens.
Well, the U.S has 13 intelligence agencies, and they're the best in the world. And yet they still fail to get even the basic facts right, so I'm going to go ahead and agree with you. And I do feel sorry for you, the independent conservative brand is dying out. I'm a liberal, but what I just can't stand is the Bush brand of claiming to have "compassionate conservatism", and then starting 2 wars and alienating almost everyone else.
Thanks for the beautiful video. Cried like a baby...for so many reasons. Indeed. Brng them home from Bush's illegal war. Don't put war mongers like McCain and Palin in office. I have to believe America is better and smarter than that. Obama/Biden '08.
Lol I forgot about this, thanks for the reply :)

yes infact Christ hates killing so much that "His" word advocates the killing of gays, children who disobey their parents, and adulterers.
