I’ve never heard this song before, though I know of the WW1 story. I am crying, yes because of the powerful lyrics, and message, but most of all because of your authentic, humble and gentle delivery, Pops. ❤️ This goes on my family Christmas playlist, forever to be a classic. Remembering the Reason for the Season, and the fragile fallibility of humankind…
@@FrankWatkinson Pops, the SCOTS GAL in me (my mom’s Abernathies and Stewarts- yes, THOSE Stewarts) loves that version. But yours, in my humble opinion, puts me THERE, as if sitting in a muddy, bloody foxhole, huddled together to keep warm, sharing a cigarette whilst listening to one of our brothers-in-arms quietly picking on a battered guitar, and singing like YOU have, here. I LOVE you for your being so humble, so sharing, so REAL, Pops.
Wow! I never heard this song before. Thanks for bringing that to me. I'm not English speaker and cannot correctly express the peaceful feelings your voice and your guitar causes on me.
So beautifully moving. The words are beautiful. The singing pure and sweet. The emotions you bring to the song are the cherry on top. Thank you so much for sharing you. Merry Christmas and have a happy, peaceful, loving, healthy and prosperous new year.
Untitled He spoke of walls made with gold Holy waters heavenly grace Prophets poet's and jesters Sharing love embrace With certainly in truths Trumpets blast The mortars thunder We humble men of war Over the top once more Not for glory Nor in vain Remember our brothers names It is our honor Safeguarding freedom Independence Liberty's Lasting fame kevin mack For the men who saved the world Blessings on Christmas day Thank you Frank 🎶 ☮️kevin
Your music is so comforting. You seem like such a nice guy, with such great talent. It’s always a pleasure to get a notification from your channel when a new video is posted. Hope all is well. Love from Gabbi and Australia 🥰
This is such a beautiful cover. It’s one of my favorite Christmas song. Celtic Thunder has a good cover but yours is perfect. Merry Christmas and happy new year grandad Frank.
Beautiful, Frank. Brought me to tears this morning. Love hearing your voice, it’s been too long since I last stopped in. Much love, from California, USA. ❤️
Thank you Frank, You are the definition of LOVE. The world needs more Frank's in it, would be such a better place..from 1 man to another, I love ya homie. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Stay safe my friend.Much Love from OHIO ❤
My heartstrings are pierced (platonically). Your voice has so much emotion in it and your voice is perfectly smooth that it's calming. I wish you a Happy new year, Christmas, Hanukkah, or Winter Solstice!
What a lovely song. Is this one of your own songs frank. If not you did a wonderful job. .your talent is much higher than the average ..love your style of guitar playing. Tried it many times but gave up on it . Just couldn’t get the knack for acoustic playing. I play a one man act. With program bass and drums and organ . I play all guitar lead and rhythm . Thanks for sharing your music .. enjoyed by many
This is a truly beautiful performance. Your voice is warm and nostalgic, it sounds like melting butter or an aging man telling stories to an audience around the fire. Incredible work telling this tragic story.
