I would highly recommend to the youngsters of today who are just starting to get a "Good ear"for real music that is both inspiring and that on can relate to.I remember my Mom playing a 78 of Vera.Who is practically unknown today.I have a double tape of her with White Cliffs of Dover and many other of her hits.She IN my opinion rates with the great female vocalist..Ella,Dinah W,Ethel W,Barbara,Patsy C....SAVE all your tapes and C D s kids this music never went away.Its Been here.Down with hip hop
This song I believe would bring a tear to any of our Brave fighting men, as it means as much today as in the 40`s. Vera Lynn does truly have an amazing voice and such great songs written then, means their Timeless Classics !
@SuperJohnnykay HAHA love how you wrote "AUST" in BOLD letters must be because you know that it was actually New Zealanders (maoris at that) who put words to this piece otherwise no-one would have even heard of it to this day.
THIS IS BULLSHIT! the maori version is supposed to be included and is much better than the english version. i learnt this song in primary but the real version the maori one.
beautiful ,it touches the heart ,so sad and yet so sweet .the world is still the same ,someone saying farewell and waiting for those they love . to come home.god bless
My parents used to listen to this when I was a boy growing up. This is somewhat forgotten music but we cannot forget the time that she sang these songs to inspire the Soldiers against Nazi tyranny.
Vera was magnificent and her voice unique and unforgettable.
@oswi50 I totally agree, which is why i only perform this genre of music. I want to bring it back, as best i can. No one can compare to Dame Vera Lynn. She's my idol. :-) xXx

No it's not just you Lilandriel.
These singers could actually sing without being touched up by a computer.
Listen to the greats like Bing Crosby, Andrew Sisters, Gracie Feilds, Dean Martin etc & hear real singing.

Vera Lynn is magnificent. I can't think of another singer capable of conveying so much with what appears to be so little effort.
