Requiem for A Soldier - Katherine Jenkins
« on: December 26, 2010, 08:42:31 PM »
Just discovered this singer after watching of all things "Doctor Who" and was blown away by her voice. This is her singing requiem for a soldier to a band of brothers clip. Its quite moving, so watch out for allegies.



The Lyrics for the song:

You never lived to see
What you gave to me
One shining dream of hope and love
Life and liberty

With a host of brave unknown Soldiers
For your company, you will live forever
Here in our memory

In fields of sacrifice
Heroes paid the price
Young men who died for old men's wars
Gone to paradise

We are all one great band of brothers
And one day you'll see we can live together
When all the world is free

I wish you'd lived to see
All you gave to me
Your shining dream of hope and love
Life and liberty

We are all one great band of brothers
And one day you'll see - we can live together
When all the world is free



PS do yourself a favour and do a search for her on you tube her voice is simply amazing and for a opera type singer bloody hot!

she also sings Hymn to the Fallen
I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters. - Solomon Short

A remarkable and beautiful woman.

Here is another version of Requiem for A Soldier with her introduction telling her feeling about the song and a bit about her support of the troops.  It shows her singing the song.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
