bfolkemer Greatest Anti-War Song Ever? (372* d) RE: Greatest Anti-War Song Ever? 15 Feb 03


Some other good ones are "The Wars in High Germany," sung by Jean Redpath, "Will You Go to Flanders," performed by Providence, and in an updated version, by Andy M. Stewart; and "The Banks of the Nile," sung by either Planxty or De Dannan, as well as Ewan MacColl. In fact, he included versions of the first two in his compilation of Scottish ballads. "I Will Go," performed by the Corries and others, has a different twist. The highland men serve the king in the armed forces, but afterward return to their homes to find that they have been destroyed, and their families have been victims of the clearances.

We've often been singing "Let Peace Prevail," from a recent edition of SingOut!
