OMG what profound lyrics a lamenting poignant song sung with such emotions too. It creates a feeling of deep sadness. What deep and meaningful questions makes one want to cry with deep sadness. This song is sung so meaningfully the questions are asked with deep love from ones heart for ones own fellow human being creating a powerful feeling of wisdom and great respect. Music is a journey of emotions. This song and music connects emotionally with the hearts of every Christian man deeply.

@TripeHoundRedux The song was written by Eric Bogle a Scottish Borderer who moved to Australia in adulthood. The name McBride was probably picked out randomly for no other reason than it rhymed with graveside. In other words it is about all the Briitsh Army dead and not just one individual. Actually Bogle may well even have written for all the war dead and not just the British Army dead.

Saw these in plymouth theater a very long time ago, my m8 had a spare tickett so i went even though i had not heard of them.
Been a fan ever since and have most of there stuff, was lucky enough to meet finbar furey and his brother eddie, and then when in canada i bumped into davey arther in a gas station as we were both filling up but travelling in opposite directions, i got him to sign a couple of the bands CD'S which i had in the car, we had a chat for ten minites what a nice guy.
