"We'll meet again

Don't know where

Don't know when

But I know we'll meet again some sunny day..."

There is something haunting, yet upbeat about that song.

Sweetly nostalgic of a different time.

RIP Vera Lynn.

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said that we would meet again
Some sunny day?

Vera! Vera!
What has become of you?
Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?

[SmokingJoe]

May she rest in everlasting peace.

I used to do a Vera Lynn Medley when I played at the Veteran’s Homes. I loved her and so did the troops.

RIP.

[stevem]

She is still one of my all-time favorites.

Truly a treasure of western civilization and a reminder of a Britain that really doesn’t exist anymore except in the hearts of a few.

I have a whole lot of her WW2 music and I love to put it on the stereo and kick back while I listen to it.

Vera Lynn was a huge part of the resolve and determination exhibited by the Brits during the Battle of Britain and her love of country was evident in much of her music.

One of her songs, “Land of Hope and Glory” was extremely Nationalistic as well as expansionist and would never have been released or even written in the world as we know it today.

Check it out.

I saw her in London in 1995 for the 50th anniversary of VE day. RIP

****sigh****

Truly one of the greatest of the WWII Generation.

Listening to Dame Vera Lynn’s songs makes my eyes leak.

Always did, always will.

She went out on top. When the Queen used the lyrics in her song for her COVID19 speech that song went to the top of music downloads. Not bad for a 103 year old.

[oldvirginian]

103 years.
A hell of a run!
Rest in Peace. The blue skies have driven the dark clouds away for you.

[C19fan]

I remember watching the class “World at War” series with Laurence Olivier as narrator. They had an episode on the Burma Campaign. The had a clip of Vera Lynn visiting the British 14th Army and how that was such a huge deal for the troops. The 14th Army regarded themselves as something of a forgotten army as all the attention and resources were given to North Africa.

[kenmcg]

A tremendous morale booster for WW2 GI’s. May she rest in peace.

[Crucial]

Times sure have changed.
