Way Back Wednesday - Vera / Bring The Boys Back Home

Bring The Boys Back Home - Roger Waters
As today is Remembrance Day, as well as Way Back Wednesday, I'm sharing "Vera / Bring the Boys Back Home" from Pink Floyd's "The Wall." Roger Waters and his band recorded this version over the summer of 2020 as part of their Lockdown Sessions. This song almost always makes me cry, listening to this new version definitely moved me. It's striking and beautiful.

Today, as we remember all members of the armed forces who have lost their lives in the line of duty, let's also hope for peace. Let's hope that no more names are added to cenotaphs or grave stones because of war. 

Bring the boys back home
Bring the boys back home
Don't leave the children on their own, no, no
