    The Melanesian Brotherhood is a religious order with about 600 members based at Tabalia on Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. This song was used in the opening minutes of film the Thin Red Line. I have included some images of Tabalia, Honiara and of the Solomons violent past including wrecked warplanes and Red Beach where the Americans landed. The Melanesian Brotherhood is featured in my book 'Blue Peter: Behind The Badge' Chapter 27. Now also available as an eBook on Amazon Kindle. The book is also available through my website 'Blue Peter: Behind The Badge'.

    While the thin red line brought me here ... I watch this clip from time to time and it brings tears to my eyes and joy to my soul. Such a peaceful place. Such a life to live. O', what we miss here in the big cities.

      To be honest, EVERY country got its problems mate, and Guadacanal is no exeption. The people living there are one of the most threatended folk in terms of natural disasters, medical care is pretty bad, same with electricity and life standard, and there have been riots in recents years ( Honiara ) in which people have been killed. It absolutely beautiful and touching though, no doubt about that - but you shoud be aware that life can be pretty harsh at those places. And most people from big cities are not made for that life. Greets.

    How strange that this paradise was the site of such savage warfare 70 years ago. Two mighty nations descended upon the island, fought with weapons and in numbers such as the people had never seen, and left, leaving only the wreckage of their struggle, now reclaimed by nature.

    Is this a routine every Sunday song for you guys? It is AMAZING. Jisas Yu Holem Hand Blong Mi is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, it struck me when I first heard it 20 years ago as a child. American music is very Diatonic and we load up on major & minor 3rds a plenty. But it doesn't come out like this...
