Dreamers...
Dreamers...
Dreamers...
Army dreamers
(Fall in!)
B.F.P.O.
Army dreamers
Mammy's hero
B.F.P.O.
Mammy's hero
Our little army boy
Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
I've a bunch of purple flowers
To decorate mammy's hero
Mourning in the aerodrome
The weather warmer, he is colder
Four men in uniform
To carry home my little soldier
What could he do?
Shoulda' been a rock star
But he didn't have the money for a guitar
What could he do?
(Fall in!)
Should have been a politician
But he never had a proper education
What could he do?
(Fall in!)
Should have been a father
But he never even made it to his twenties
What a waste
Army dreamers
Oh, what a waste of
Army dreamers
Tears o'er a tin box
Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know
Like a chicken with a fox
He couldn't win the war with ego
Give the kid the pick of pips
And give him all your stripes and ribbons
Now he's sitting in his hole
He might as well have buttons and bows
What could he do?
(Fall in!)
Shoulda' been a rock star
But he didn't have the money for a guitar
What could he do?
(Fall in!)
Should have been a politician
But he never had a proper education
What could he do?
(Fall in!)
Should have been a father
But he never even made it to his twenties
What a waste
Army dreamers
Oh, what a waste of
Army dreamers
Oh, what a waste of all that
Army dreamers
Army dreamers
Army dreamers
B.F.P.O.
Army dreamers
Mammy's hero
(What a waste of army dreamers)
(Fall in!)
B.F.P.O.
(Oh what a waste of)
Army dreamers
Dreamers
Dreamers
Dreamers
Army Dreamers
The guys yelling in the back. I love it
Do you know which person was it? I cant find him, i'm really curious
@@PointedZoo I'm not entirely sure
@@KarlSchroeder-ei4rf i think he's in the most back row in the middle
It's was the man who is in front, who lead the hold team
@@deeploxgaming1332 Sounds more like a singer placed offstage somewhere.
This is so good! While Kate Bush sings from the perspective of the mother, this feels like it's being sung by the pallbearers as they carry the coffin, I love it!
Sim, torna tudo mais emocionante
YES
Yes!!
yessss omg
Yes, and I think this is confirmed by the line "four a men in uniform, to carry home my little solder"
Whenever I heard “Fall in!” My heart sank ever time… 😭🙏
I think that it's because was a call from the other side, not a memory.
the song is clearly a mother mourning the loss of her son, both a letter to and about her little boy, however that "Fall in!" is the call from the other side in what would have been the most calming thing that the boy would have known. A sense of "this is the place that I must be at." with this I think it's the last time that the boy sees his mother, through his spirit, before he moves on.
but that's just what I get out of it
Now that I realize what it means, me too ;-;
The drill sergeant is a really nice addition. This is definitely one that I come back to a lot.
during the second chorus, instead of yelling fall in, he's yelling fall out! such a good detail. beautifully arranged, performed, and composed.
Amazing detail
And am I mishearing it or is he saying, "Fall... back!" at 3:08?
The ''FALL IN!'' gives me the creeps every time i hear it
does it mean anything connected to the song or was it just the sound that creeped you out?
@@carminerose2116fall in is a military command for cadets to fall in place like a assembly line, in order to either train, drill, or prepare to go into war such of what happened to the son
this version sounds like a father mourning his son, maybe even some guilt?
Perhaps a father who made his son join the army like him, but ultimately regrets it
Amazing work!
It’s by Kate bush and she wrote it in a perspective of a mother whose son died as a young soldier (he was in his teenage years)
@@Jazam.jarrrr I know that, genius.
That’s why I said “ this version “
@@Okanorawhy are you so angry 😭
@@katievx I literally just responded lmao?
@@Okanora “i know that, genius.” that’s an awful lot of aggression lmao
My baby brother left for the army just the other day. Whenever I hear this song, I cannot help but think about him. I never want there to come a day when I hear this song and cry. Please let there never be such a day.
Prayers are sent out to him, your family, and his comrades 🙏
I hope he always return home safe. My blessings and prayers for him
the chills im getting are crazy, especially with the "fall in!"
listening to this i cant help but think of all of the young people in gaza that will be martyred trying to protect their families.
Its happening in israel too both sides are suffering xx
@@Z0PHlA me when i lie ❤️
@@alienwithapencil bro its true though altho its not bad as gaza israel is suffering too
@@Z0PHlA suffering from what exactly?
@@minnie-fu3bh constant rockets and missiles being sent from Lebanon, Palestine, iran, just accept the fact that both sides are suffering dawg
CHILLS !!! Ah the screams in background made me shiver, I almost cry, what an awesome cover.
tomorrow is memorial day, and this reminds me of the fallen soldiers who never got to see their mother, only in a wooden coffin
Oh this is beautiful! I was hoping to find a cover where the 'bfpo/mammy's hero' in the background was a bit more audible and this pulled it off so well
what does bfpo mean?
British Forces Post Office - coming home in a box
I can't help but think that this song can also be synonymous to some of us who didn't get to achieve our own dreams due to difficulties in our own lives 💔
That’s why this song drew me in. I’m saddened for all the lives taken so young fighting but also saddened because of the dreams I feel like I haven’t achieved or can’t achieve.
they're wearing masks and still sound so loud! it's impressive.
I'm in tears at how amazing this is.
We're so glad you enjoyed it!
I tried so hard not to cry. I failed
same..
Me as well 😢
And still sounding so good while wearing masks is insane
this needs 22M views, not 22K
I’m doing my best :) keep coming back
definiteoy. this is absolutely lovely
The video was posted 2 yrs ago, but thanks to the algorithm gods they’ve already gained 30k views in the weeks since you posted
I'm not crying, no, my eyes are just dehydrated 💦👁️💦💦👁️💦
crying, i love army dreamers so much. So upset that this is so underrated.
Yes, this song is about a fallen soldier.
Yet I cannot reject the self grieve over myself. I didn't come back the same guy I was.
As if I died too in the army.
The first „fall in“ triggered such an intense reaction in me. Instant tears and goosebumps
This point of view sounds like instead of the mother grieving, it's the fellow soldiers
I love Kate Bush and I have always enjoyed this song, this rendition did it justice and some, brought tear to my eye.
I love hearing other versions of this song, and this has to be one of my favorites. The details
I’m genuinely so glad this was recommended to me oh my goodness
This is my fav performance of this piece. I’m crying
This is genuinely my favorite video on UA-cam, it's just perfect
whenever I hear this song I begin to tear up. my father was in the military for 10 years, and thankfully he is still with us but to think what could've happened... this song makes me think about that. I finally started getting to a point where the original didn't make me tear up, but hearing this got me crying again
AND THE GUY YELLING FALL IN AND FALL OUT IN THE BACK AND THINKING ABOUT HOW THEY SOUND LIKE THEY'RE SINGING FROM A FELLOW SOLDIERS PERSPECTIVE ISNT HELPING
Reminder to care about all wars. Not just the ones with white people
YES‼️‼️
goddamn your sentence hits hard as fuck man
This is stupid, everyone already is
@@EdgeLord-oz3vi are u delusional or just grossly misinformed
? Yeah no shit who only cares about the white wars there not even the best
This reminds me of the horrible situation in Gaza right now. They are in my prayers 🍉❤️
Cette version choeur est splendide: elle est aussi belle , aussi riche que l'originale, je suis hébahie, bouche bée . Elle apporte aussi d'autres couleurs, c'est juste à tomber par terre tellement c'est beau, fidèle à l'original tout en le réinventant magnifiquement sans le trahir.
Et le fait que cela soit chanté par un choeur d'hommes ajoute à mon émotion profonde. J'ai été stupéfaite par Kate Bush quand j'étais adolescente, dans les années 80, je suis tellement contente qu'aujourd'hui on se rende compte de son talent, de sa liberté créative, de son travail de musicienne accomplie sur tous les plans. En tant que musicienne, compositrice aventureuse, chanteuse à la voix inoubliable montant les octaves comme des sauts de cabris, l'air de rien. Osant tout. Avec exactement ce qu'il faut pour ne pas se trahir: faire ce qu'on veut et désire profondément. En totale sincérité avec soi-même, ce qui veut dire aussi refuser tout ce qu'on ne veut pas et se foutre de la notoriété. Merci Kate.
I'm going to make this 1m views by putting this on repeat, this is BEAUTIFUL; I'm not crying, you are
A breathtaking interpretation
absolute chills it makes it 100x more tragic to hear
Прекрасно! Готова слушать вечно.. из голоса, гитара, рояль., акардеон.. прекрасно!!
Beautiful and powerful performance and a powerful message.
Still so beautifully sung, especially the guy yellin!
Stunningly beautiful, and crushingly heartbreaking.
A singular tear ran down my face
All the words of this song, seen and thought about, it just hits hard
I am in tears, this is so beautiful
Here to say this made me bawl my eyes out :')
I'm about to serve in the military. This song is so impactful for me because no matter how great America is, the military is still failing in supporting veterans. And its important to recognize the effects of war and how much is affects everyone. We can easily coin service as glorious and filled with bravery, but there is so much pain on both sides of the war. I recognize the many issues that lie in the military, but I am prompted even more to serve to advocate for veterans and actively work to resolve the many problems within it.
good luck comrade
excellent job!! i have goosebumps :-)
Wow. Just wow. The fall in sounded so bone chilling.
Why did I not see this even sooner? why is it just 89k views??? it should be more! I can't stop crying especially when the Drill Sergeant starts everything with "FALL IN!" and not to mention THEY HAVE POPPIES??
I couldn't possibly imagine the horrors that those young men experienced
My eyes are full, so beautiful, you just know Kate would love this. Thank you!
Tear inducing, and so pertinent.
this feels more RPG fantasy like than most fantasy songs
Это прекрасно и заставляет меня плакать! Спасибо!
Insanely beautiful arrangement, the accordion adds something almost ghostly or otherworldly.
Que buena canción y con una reflexión
Recently joined a church choir I can’t express how gorgeous the voices sound together it’s the most lifting feeling being part of this…
Wow this performance is just giving me the shivers more than beautiful 😍
The world is on fire this just puts a paused to it for me.
Nossa magnífico, não tenho palavras pra descrever como ficou lindo!
love the orignal powefull message but wow i love this version as much
this is beautiful, sends chills down my spine
Kate will love it.
Thank you!
I love this so much.
I'm gonna cry, I love it so much
My eyes are full..so beautiful. Well done all.
listening to this a few times, ngl, makes me wish you could do a full cover of the album this song comes from
The chills I got omg, this rendition is so beautiful
ive rewatched this so many times its genuinely so good and it gives me chills EVERY SINGLE TIME.
I love this cover so much and have come back it a few times. Usually I hate Kate bush covers as most don’t do this song justice!! It has such a deep meaning and every detail speaks words . It’s nice to finally see one that brings the heavenly and slightly dark energy of the song!!
The chills i got! The pure massive amount of the emotion it has awoken in me! Don't know how but I just could feel the emotion of a singers!
This cover makes me cry constantly but it's genuinely just so good that I can't stop listening
Listening to this feels like a new experience every time and it never fails to give me goosebumps out of amazement
im getting chills from this oh my gosh its like i can feel the words in my veins
Terrifyingly amazing
this cover is so ethereal omg
So touching
absolutely lovely, my god my heart sunk
genuinely beautiful.
