    Proceeds from the album In My Dreams will go to The Military Wives Choirs Foundation which will help all military communities to establish their own Choirs across the UK.
    'Wherever You Are' is a moving love song written by Royal Wedding composer Paul Mealor for the choir to sing at The Royal British Legion's Festival of Remembrance. The music is set to a poem compiled from letters to and from the servicemen and their wives on a 6-month tour of duty in Afghanistan. It is the raw emotion of the song that has touched so many of the British public.

    I'm also 17 and this has me in tears every time. This is REAL...not some generic plastic girl group like Little Mix. Please help these brave women achieve no.1 xxx

    600 people have no heart at all!, how can anyone dislike this...these women are singing from the heart, they miss their loved ones at this time, and of course at anytime while their other halves are away, serving crown and country.
    I respect our forces and will stand by them unlike certain ones, god bless our troops, and god bless these military wives!

    I am an army girlfriend, my boyfriend has just returned from his 3rd tour of Afghanistan. Long have us left behind served silently. I think this is fantastic, showing the nation what we at home go through during those 6months. i've brought my numerous copies, chokes me up every time-it hits very close to home xxx

    My sister is out in afghanistan at the moment in Lash Kagar. She's in the military police, she helps out the afghani women and children and is responsible for training the afghan national army. Im so proud of her, never could I do something like that.

    This leaves me in tears everytime I hear it. Beautiful song. Think Gareth is amazing at what he has done for so many people over the years. I hope this gets to No.1 for xmas and you all continue to sing together. You should be so proud at what you have achieved x

    As a former member of the US Air Force, I want to say KUDOS to the wives who stand by their men. And also KUDOS to these beautiful singers. I am 57 years old and y'all still brought a few tears to my eyes. GOD BLESS AMERICA and THE MILITARY WIVES CHOIR!

    I can't watch this without a tear in my eye, well quite a few. My son is in the army in Australia, going to Afghanistan next year. This song is so beautiful and the show that went with it was inspiring too.

    How can anybody not like this.
    These women are proud of their husbands and the job they do and we should show our pride alongside them.
    Some of these women may never see their loved ones again so the whole country should stand with them and honour them as much as we honour the personnel of our armed forces..

  • @hesyms
    @hesyms 12 років тому +2

    This is so beautiful. Watched the series last night and desperately hope it makes it to Christmas No.1. What a wonderful gift to give those serving our country who will be all over the world and those families left behind.

  • @corneliuswonder
    @corneliuswonder 12 років тому +4

    I think the dislikes are more aimed towards hatred of the war rather than the individuals who support their loved ones going out there to serve
    Take a second to think about the fact that they go out there for their duty and they dont come back every evening and spend time with their children. I hate war, I resent soldiers going in my country and my brothers' and sisters' countries, but it is the proponents of war (prime minister, presidents) whom I shall complain to, not these wonderful heroes.

  • @jualmedia
    @jualmedia 12 років тому +1

    These women and women just like them, watch their partners go away and never know whether they'll see them alive again. We should all remember that.
    The television series, the video, the song, the choirmaster, the choir and the sentiment are all simply amazing. The whole country should get behind them and ensure that this becomes the number 1 song of the year, never mind just Christmas!

    This song is soooo lovely, beautiful lyrics. We are singing this for our Christmas concert I can't wait. We should all think of our brave servicemen when we hear this and pray for them. I thank God I'm not in the situation these women are in, they are so brave.

    As a chorister having been part of a similar project, I can really appreciate this piece of music, not just as a wonderful song, but more importantly the emotion behind it.
    Watching and listening is fantastic, uplifting and spine-tingling.
    May all our loved and cherished soldiers come home soon and stay safe.
    Thanks for reminding me to value what I have even more than I do already.

    What a beautiful song and so beautifully sung - you should sing forever! Congratulations, too, to the soloist whose voice is sweet, clear, natural and unforced. And to think that you had never sung before Gareth brought you all together . . . you have truly found your voice and I can imagine the effect this is having on the troops in Afghanistan. Much love to you all.

    politics aside, these guys and gals do the hardest job in the world and get little reward for their sacrifice. I hope this stays at number 1 and reminds us that there is more to life, especially at this time of year. Good luck all you soldiers, come home safe to your friends and families.

    J. D. Salinger wrote a short story about a soldier who has a brief chance meeting with a choir girl and her brother. Later, after experiencing the horrors of war, his sanity is saved by the memory of the meeting. This video reminds me so much of that story... 'For Esme, With Love and Squalor'.

You have no idea what the military men and women have to go through so we can live our lives as we do, they deserve much more respect than they get in the real world. You can hate the war all you want, but don't dare hate the troops. It's not their fault there is war!!
