Pipes of Peace Paul McCartney 1914-1918

Basically a straight upload of Paul`s Christmas no 1 single in the UK,well it went to no 1 just after xmas if I remember correctly! A video depicting the famous 1914 Christmas truce between British and German troops.I added a little bit of first world war footage,intended not to mock or denigrate the brave souls who fought and lost their lives in the Great war.But as a show of respect...their names liveth forever more.

PAUL McCARTNEY
PIPES OF PEACE

I LIGHT A CANDLE TO OUR LOVE,
IN LOVE OUR PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR.
BUT ALL IN ALL WE SOON DISCOVER
THAT ONE AND ONE IS ALL WE LONG TO HEAR.

ALL 'ROUND THE WORLD,
LITTLE CHILDREN BEING BORN TO THE WORLD.
GOT TO GIVE THEM ALL WE CAN 'TIL THE WAR IS WON,
THEN WILL THE WORK BE DONE.

HELP THEM TO LEARN (help them to learn)
SONGS OF JOY INSTEAD OF BURN, BABY, BURN. (burn, baby, burn)
LET US SHOW THEM HOW TO PLAY
THE PIPES OF PEACE,
PLAY THE PIPES OF PEACE.

HELP ME TO LEARN
SONGS OF JOY INSTEAD OF BURN, BABY, BURN,
WON'T YOU SHOW ME TO PLAY (how to play)
THE PIPES OF PEACE, (pipes of peace)
PLAY THE PIPES OF PEACE

WHAT DO YOU SAY? (what do you say?)
WILL THE HUMAN RACE BE RUN IN A DAY? (in a day?)
OR WILL SOMEONE SAVE THIS PLANET WE'RE PLAYING ON?
IS IT THE ONLY ONE?
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
HELP THEM TO SEE (help them to see)
THAT THE PEOPLE HERE ARE LIKE YOU AND ME. (like you and me)
LET US SHOW THEM HOW TO PLAY (how to play)
THE PIPES OF PEACE, (pipes of peace)
PLAY THE PIPES OF PEACE.

I LIGHT A CANDLE TO OUR LOVE,
IN LOVE OUR PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR.
BUT ALL IN ALL WE SOON DISCOVER
THAT ONE AND ONE IS ALL WE LONG TO HEAR.

The fact that Germans and Brits forgot the war and played a football match on xmas day is proof enough the common man is the same wherever you come from, the wars only serve the rich.....................fuck the wars , fuck nato and fuck zionism.

My great grandfather (1881 - 1953) was in WWI a Belgian Soldier, and he survived this war without any wounds (He also didn't had mentally damage), but on Christmas, 25th Decemer 1914 on 0:00 A.M., he and some other soldiers heard the Germans (on the other side of the Yser river) singing: "Silent Night", and the Belgians Soldiers also began to sing "Silent Night". The next morning, the fight continous, but he never forgot that little moment of peace.

@propker100 -- You *do* realize, do you not, that this video is supposed to depict World War I and not World War II...meaning that the Germans were the Kaiser's troops and not Hitler's??

It looks as if you could stand to brush up on history a little yourself!

Wonderfully imaginative, with McCartney playing both the British and German soldier who accidentally switch photos of their wives and children when their truce is disrupted.

[hobsteral]

love it,holds great memories for me,why is music so shite nowadays ?

[UPYOURSBG]

@biomechanical1976 ......Indeed !

[biomechanical1976]

@UPYOURSBG and fuck the rothchilds and co.

[propker100]

people still call Germans they arn't all bad you know?

it was only hitler, most/all germans hated hitler was against him

but he would kill them if they did not respect him, they aint all bad

people just need to grow up now a days and actually learn history.

A very important message yes

[jwmclennon]

I have loved this song for a long time and have watched this video several times, but just today I read about this temporary truce happening and it was really touching. This video means much more to me now. Thank you.
