And the band played Waltzing Matilda

Artist: Eric Bogle
Genre: Folk
Decade: 1970's
Title: And the band played Waltzing Matilda
Author: Raymond Gee....or is it Ghie.


A more poigniant song you couldn't hear, it's been done by other artists but I don't think you can beat this copy.

Really powerful, they should sit all of the politicians and warmongers down in a room and play this to them, and then ask them if they still want to buy bombs as big as a bloody bus, let alone use the things when they are made.

I have just had to put it on the stereo to listen whilst I write this, so if you see anything wet appear it could be tears!

I remember the first time I heard this, it was by The Pogues, it brought hairs up on the back of my neck and tears to my eyes!!

Wow, this song sums up in 7 and a half minutes the futility of war that people in power still don't seem to get. The pictures relate to Canada, the song to Australia but the words apply to everyone, whichever side they were fighting for. It brings home how music can give a voice to the voiceless.
