"One Toy Soldier" by Enya for Harm in JAG

The title could be misinterpreted, but it's a very gentle, pro-military song about a little boy and his beloved toy soldier. A music video strongly edited to a strong beat. "One Toy Soldier" by Enya.

I've heard that JAG, as a show, wasn't very realistic, but my great grandfather was in JAG and that always endeared the show to me. Loved the Harm character. This is one of my favorite videos.

One toy soldier stands alone
With his drum down by his side.
One toy soldier on his own
With his drum to keep the time.

He keeps the beat of marching feet,
He keeps the beat so true.
He's one small toy for one small boy,
But his heart is oh so blue.

Enya is so “different’ from all the other contemporary musicians. I like this! :-)

Thank you!

I agree about Enya. She’s unique. And just when I’d pidgeon hole her with one piece, she comes up with something like this - gentle and completely understandable - rather than just using her voice to create a mood piece.

Indeed.

And my Dad(RIP) was a Navy Man, and loved the TV Series JAG, and its spinoff NCIS. So I found that video very sweet and nostalgic.

I’m so very sorry about your Dad. Every chance you have to remember him is good.

Thanks! (((((HUGS))))

BTW, if you are going to make a ping list for your videos, can you put me on it?

Thanks for posting

I’m so glad you liked it, red. Timing the salutes to the beat was so much fun.

That was great and what a fabulous series it was. I found it difficult not to cry at the end of every show.

I will never forget one super line when Admiral Chegwidden said to a sailor who gave him lip after he’d been given an order:

“You may not be in my chain of command but you are in my line of fire.”

[mairdie]

Thank you, Thank You. I love that you liked it!

Chegwidden was wonderful. Just saw him in an NCIS-LA episode, but they didn't give him much to do. I only have one other JAG music video, and it's about Chegwidden and his faithless fiancee.
