The High Kings - Green Fields of France

My best friend just passed and he was a war vet. I am having bagpipers play the Flowers of the Forest at his service. This song always makes me weep, and now it will continue. Thank you for this

Love this song. Used to sing it with a group of friends when i was 19. It always made me cry. Agree it is the best anti-war song. My grandfather went off to the Great War as a 19 yr old. Apparently he rarely spoke of it except to say no son of his would ever go to war. It makes me cry now when i think of the teenagers being forced to fight in Ukraine.

This is seriously the most beautiful anti-war song I have ever heard in my life. It's different than when Martin was with the group but still beautiful, haunting, emotional and melancholy. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous 💚

One of best renditions of this emotional song

Everytime I hear this song I cannot stop the tears from falling. It hit an inner sadness, but I always feel better after. You guys are awesome!

Saving this to share with my own four lads on Remembrance Day (we are all big fans of your music). We honour the fallen but deeply regret the futility of endless war.

Just a beautiful song. I always listen to this song

I took the Queens shilling in 1986.

Today I remember my grandfather killed 8 months before my late dad was born.

A twisted life I’ve had, but this song sums it up.

Love Love LOVE this!! Makes my heart jump!

[MrWoodchuckVT]

and again and again and again
I see the young faces in Ukraine, boys! Ukrainian and Russian, they could be our sons!
I don't know, the song always makes me wonder if we will ever get there

[TheEyeOfOdin]

Wow this is so good! Your previous version of this song on Memory Lane with Martin Furey has to be one of my most listened to songs of yours. Love it.

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!! I LOVE THE HIGH KINGS VERY MUCH!! I LOVE BEING IRISH!!

This is beautiful. So respectful. Yet so mournful. It captures loss and tragedy. Eric Bogle wrote such an evocative reflection of the futility of war. And these guys sing it so poignantly.
