Green Fields of France

[ryanrusson]

My god sweetheart... You nailed it. Keep it up. You brought a tear to my eye. I wish I could press the like button as much as you pressed mine.

[crfbicho]

First heard this on a Men They Couldn't Hang EP in the mid '80s and loved it since then. A wonderful, poignant song and even more looking at the world we live in - nearly 100 years since the great war and little has changed.

As for this version - stunning. Sung with real feeling and a deep sense of loss - great voice, great clarity and great guitar work. Impressive.

[captainlucozade]

beautiful version of the song =] thank you =]

[spartinninja1149]

Brilliant Great voice.

[drahcirl]

Go out somewhere and be happy, kid. You're too young to know songs like that.

[gaconnochie]

used to represent everyone. It wasn't used because he was Irish. He just happened to be Irish. The name stuck in Bogle's mind probably for no other reason than it scane and rhymes with the next line

[wsm24]

I especially like the towels on the shelf behind you! Nice job.

[patsyod]

The fallen would be proud!

[TVCriticAmy]

Beautiful! x

[SorrowfulLesson]

Your voice is absolutely wonderful. I have no idea why, but you remind me of Piper from Charmed... Which is a good thing, by the way. =) Amazing job. Brought me to tears.

[BenZedrene]

Suddenly, I like this version better than the one from the Dropkick Murphys.

[nigelbourke]

[spartan1545]

[mongo3163]

[michellej3532]

I Love this song (: , Your amazing I love your voice.Keep it up :) Best of luck :D .x

[pyrofella]

If you are going to sing someone elses song, at least get the name right...It's "No Man's Land"..and for a bit of credit to the writer...it was written by Eric Bogle...

[erigais]

@pyrofella haterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[mister1217]

Thanks for this. Really good

[eiclan]

made me cry

[2007kiltie]

Beautifully done

[roarfire]

Really beautiful, you have a great voice.

[derekdidonato]

You did a very good job with this. Well done.

[RPenta]

Good job; personally, while I know Eric Bogle himself often performs this just with guitar (and guitar accompaniment) but I think you really need pipes, banjo, accordion or concertina too.

[MrKevyboy1]

@RPenta Lol it's a you tube video ya tit!!! Sure you might as well throw in a few dancers as well, haha.

[RPenta]

@MrKevyboy1 Yes, boy, I know it is a YouTube Video but her version while "nice" lacks musical flourish.

[72exile]

Thank you rember our VETS

[iMakeVideosJust4U]

I think I'll do a cover....

[mollieheaffer1996]

Great rythm & vocal version..I think u should try a slow pick Ballad , Your vocals could give real feelings to some of the sad emotional verses....This was song was banned from Uk broadcast because of its supposely anti british verse..""Oh Young Willie Mcbride I can;t help wondering why? to those that lie here know why did they die..Did they really believe when they answered there call, that this war would end wars... Well they were promised a united Ireland...maybe thats the guilt :))

[mollieheaffer1996]

I relate to your repulican view.50000 irish died in WW1 only recently remembered in the Republic However while theres a verse that do highlight the issue of why an irishman died defending they very own oppressor & foe, I think it trues moral & ethical message , Why did all Those Young Willie McBride have to died, Irish, Scots English, German, Russian & many more nationalitys..The pointless suffering of millions caused by Man's intolerance & inhumanity to his fellow man...

[MrChrisastin]

That's really nice singing.

[duffystev]

Very nice. Love this song.

[ATCIanMacDonald]

Can you let me k now what chords you are playing?

[MrChrisastin]

@ATCIanMacDonald i'm not sure whether she's playing in the same key but the chords are: G, Em, C, Am, D, D, C, G,. The chorus consists of the same chords but in a different order. the chorus starts in D

[cernunos59]

I'm from France, and wish to thank you for this cover. Never the fallen of this fucking brother war, the one wich should have been the "last of the last", as people said in France... But unfortunately it was not ! Thanks again!

[troybonner91]

Great singing and playing.

[wresnix1]

great, you have talent

[MrFob64]

your brilliant

[nspain33]

Clean . . . Pure . . . Crisp!

Beautifully delivered & honor given 2all the worlds war vets.

[colin7983]

one thing to say no one can better this

[turnkey29]

This song really says everything about the futility of war. Such a young singer who does this song a great justice. LET US NOT FORGET THE FALLEN. Brilliant! just brilliant!

[bigddave12]

beautiful singing

[Toby5315]

gorgeous ;)

[sarahwhyte55]

Ive only just come across your covers, u sing all my favourite songs, green fields of france, song for ireland and the parting glass, im 23 and not many my age know these songs and for someone of your age to be singing them is very impressive, well done :)

[SuperSailorsam]

wow ... this is amazing :D :D :D x

[GaryCPBFB]

You might be a republican, but that was a great rendition of that song! Lest we forget!

At the going down of the sun and in the morn we will remember them!

36th Ulster Division, Royal Inniskillen Fusiliers

NS!

[TheBigSmoke2011]

@GaryCPBFB May be a republican? Kid, this song is a republican song, hi_jacked by undesireables, peace and love

[neotenousape]

@TheBigSmoke2011 It's actually by Eric Bogle, a Scot, and it's an anti-war song, not a Republican song, not that I mind Republican songs, as long as they aren't GOP, LOL!

[mollieheaffer1996]

@neotenousape However while this verse do highlight the issue of why an irishman died defending they very own oppressor & foe, I think it trues moral & ethical message , Why did all Those Young Willie McBride have to died, Irish, Scots English, German, Russian & many more nationalitys..The pointless suffering of millions caused by Man's intolerance & inhumanity to his fellow man...

[IMABACHELORTILLIDIE]

@neotenousape

Eh, the GOP and the DNC are one in the same.Both love starting wars, spending money like crazy, and expanding the government at all costs.

Ron Paul 2012

[TRWickord96]

@neotenousape LOL you forgot it's also by Dropkick Murphys, who had the best version. Either way it's a deep song.

[GatesOfHell4]

@TheBigSmoke2011 This song is about a Commonwealth soldier killed in the first world war. What does it have to do with Irish Republicanism?

[TheBigSmoke2011]

@GaryCPBFB BTW gr8 version T.a.L

[emblackwood]

thought the corries were great at this! You were Fab! Thanks. Going to listen again!

Ian.

[MgawL]

Vive la France et bravo à toi !

[SundownersWidnes]

The guitar was a bit louder than the vocals.

Possition the mic better and it would be perfection.

[DjMaddoxX]

Not the best cover

[Vampiress661]

Very beautiful :)

[CountryAndFolkMusic]

Beautiful :) Both you and the song.
