Today we remember.

This clip is Mr B (Misses E and M’s Dad), drumming at a reunion gig with the band he formed with friends when he was a wee whipper snapper, B Movie.

This song seems very apt, and Misses E and M love it. The lyrics are below the clip…

Remembrance Day by B Movie

In the forest, in the snow
All those many years ago
Hailstones and epitaphs
All these body bags and half-mast flags
In the cemetery where they fell
All those many years ago
Now it’s just a memory
Eroded by the years.
Forgotten heroes underground
Wrinkled faces gathered round
Hailstones and epitaphs
Roses on a barbwire fence
Winter landscape, never change,
Oh it must have been the same
In the forest, in the snow
All those many years ago
Remembrance Day
All they have is memories
Photographs in silver frames
Remembrance Day
Lost forever in a field,
In a foreign land, many miles away.
In the forest, in the snow
All those many years ago.
Bombs and victims blown sky high
Buried where they lie
A generation underground
Wrinkled faces gathered round
Won’t ever bring them back
Never bring them back
Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day.
