I prefer the Vera Lynne version of the song, because it has so much of our history attached to it, and i think it sounds better, not that this one doesnt sound good because it does, i really like this version
While the Vera Lynn version is made for soldiers who'll come home one day, Cash his old voice gives 'we'll meet again' the 'we'll see eachother in heaven' meaning
After the French were defeated Britain stood alone. Russia had an alliance with Germany.
My Granddad used to say no one who was not alive then will ever understand. The Germans were evil we were getting bombed day and night and we expected to lose. Then miracle of miracles Hitler went mad and attacked Russia and then the Japs attacked America
The Vera Lynn version is a very poignant song for the entire nation as a result. I like this version but will never compete due to the history
well in fact the v4 rockets werent very effective. it was only for destroying the moral. just like the british bomber attacking german cities not for their strategic value, but to get as much as possible civilians killed. btw: whats the matter to post that under a beautiful song of johnny cash?
The reason I mentioned the war as it is so symbolic for the nation. For people of my Grandads generation the Vera Lyn version is more than a song.
The V2 rockets were the end of the war the ceasless bombing killed many of his friends. He hasted certain flowers as they grew on the bomb sites. This song embodied all of that to him. As I said more than a song.
I like this version a lot but I just dont think its as good as the original due to its connection with my own family and history
well on both sides were many friends and relatives lost. thats why we should all remember this times and do whatever it takes to prevent, that there is ever war again.
@Lain4182I think that the 919andy reply just about sums it up. We, the British, had help internally from Poles, Canadians, even some Americans, who came to this country to fight Hitler. Other nationalities also came here, not just those mentioned. The 'Battle of Britain', invention of radar, these were the turning points. Goerring couldn't control the skies with the German Luftwaffe so a sea invasion was put on hold. Then Hitler made a huge mistake & turned on an ally, Russia.
you could be right mel but i would like to say to all the other listaners to this song . i feel sorry for the guy who died and they put this tune up for him may he rest in peice and always be rememberd and if i coused any ofence i apoligise to the family and any body who may have got ofended RIP
This is really a cover of the Ink Spots version, it has the same intro notes and has the slowed down part which the deep-voiced guy does. Still pretty good, though I don't think there's yet been a cover which tops the original Vera Lynn.
its not a cover from any thing except dame vera lyne not ink spots who ever they are its all her and its very english not american its ours and its staying that way the tune too
Just beautiful.. makes me sad, ive lost some people who were close to me.. this also makes me optimistic and happy again.. thanks, Johnny, for the beautiful song!
we will all meet again im sure ive lost people who were very close to me and i feel them near at times i smell ther perfume and see energy moving everywere im just so sure there is life after this one there has got to be a master plan there has got to be a point to all this even sceinctists are staring to believe what the mistics jesus budda have been saying for10000s of years qwontom phisics is amazing yas will know what i mean if u look it up and the books the secret an conversations wiv god x
My gran has walked St Cyrus beach for 65 years, she died recently and this song is one that reminds me of my gran. This is a lovely song, I really appreciate you uploading this! I have also never heard this Johnny Cash version, if you could please send me the song, I would appreciate it.
I'm glad it has meaning for you. I just made for my Dad who pasted last Dec. I am shocked that it's had so many views. It's just one that everyone can relate to. Blessings.RJ
This song 1st became popular during World War 2 in 1940 in England. So many husbands, sons and fathers going off to uncertain futures. It kept many folks optimistic during those day.
I want to thank you and all your family for your family's sacrifice.
good job and awesome song ^^

This is heart felt version and very good.
However I'm sorry the vera Lynn version is iconic and basically the living embodiment of the Blitz Spirit when Britain stood alone against tyranny!
Every year the veterans of britain sing this so I'm sorry as good as this is it does not compare.
I still enjoyed it thoroughly though
