Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Add: DUNKIRK From: Tone d' F Date: 18 Jan 01 - 05:39 AM I think you will find that use of fain death in "many weary men fain' death" refers to something quite common in many heavy battles, pretending to be dead when feigning death you may avoid being targetted and you can rest, just hope they don't check the bodies |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Add: DUNKIRK From: Linda Kelly Date: 21 Nov 00 - 04:07 PM Isla St Clair sang this at the rememberance day festival-it is a stunning song -is it recorded anywhere? |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Add: DUNKIRK From: MMario Date: 21 Nov 00 - 03:15 PM the gif had fain' - though I did indeed read it as "facin' " but it is NOT "fain" I suspect this might be more affected then actual scots |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Add: DUNKIRK From: GUEST,Sarah Date: 21 Nov 00 - 02:56 PM Hmmm, the glossary in my collection of Robert Burns' poems says that "fain" means "glad" or "fond" -- so maybe this should be "fa'n", which would be "fallen"? Or perhaps shoud be "facin'" or "fain o'" -- to mean "hoping for" (as in preference to the pain)... This is strange, and methinks we need a Scot! |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Add: DUNKIRK From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 21 Nov 00 - 09:05 AM I take it to mean "facing death". But litle john cameron would be the man to confirmm that. |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Add: DUNKIRK From: Ringer Date: 08 Nov 00 - 12:44 PM May I ask what the first line means? "fain' death", in particular. |
Subject: DUNKIRK From: MMario Date: 07 Nov 00 - 10:07 PM FROM a gif sent by John_in_Brisbane. It says
" Zetta St. Clair composed this song on the basis of first-hand accounts from her brothers who escaped from the Dunkirk evacuation." |
