REQUIEM FOR A SOLDIER NOT YOUR STEREOTYPICAL OPERA SINGER!

Amazing what constructive things you can do when you can't sleep; finished two chapters in The Picture Of Dorian Gray, answered some emails, and surfed some music.  I found this young lady that is new to me.  I was looking for Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli's duet of Time To Say Goodbye, which I found, but also listed was that song by Katherine Jenkins (Shemp, you are going to like her!!) and Bocelli, which lead me to search out more of her songs. I chose to use this one, REQUIEM FOR A SOLIDER, as I knew it from Band of Brothers, but I did not know there were words to it.  All this time I thought it was theme music for the soundtrack.  Enjoy.  Oh, if anyone is interested, she is Welsh.  First Catherine Zeta-Jones,and now Katherine Jenkins.  And Cherie, I noticed her eyes first!!!

 

 

 

REQUIEM FOR A SOLDIER
by Amici Forever

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

 

Cavey, this one is for you!

My favorite picture of Katherine,
