Thank you for that song. I didn't know it, but it sure did touch me!

I knew the poem but not the song. Both heartrending for sure....

It is more than a song in Australia. It is a national anthem, sung whenever Aussies are gathered and feel nationalistic.
I was tempted to post "There Will Always be an England" or "Land of Hope and Glory" but I thought my English heritage might show too much :) - 12:21 pm

As a matter of principle, I never play the songs that make me cry, unless it's about romance. That is how i keep my youthful approach to life.

The red was a nice touch, John. I was not familiar with the song, but enjoyed the rendition.

Perhaps the most touching song for this day in The Band Played Waltzing Matilda. It was written by an Australian but is sung by Canadian, John McDermott, in this clip. I think it will will touch you, if the song is new to you, or even if it isn't.
