Lynn sang the song in London on the 60th anniversary of VE Day in 2005. British director John Schlesinger used the song in his 1979 World War II film Yanks, which is about British citizens and American soldiers during the military buildup in the UK as the Allies prepare for the Normandy landings.ĭuring the Cold War, Lynn's recording was included in the package of music and programmes held in 20 underground radio stations of the BBC's Wartime Broadcasting Service (WTBS), designed to provide public information and morale-boosting broadcasts for 100 days after a nuclear attack. It was also used in the closing scenes of the 1986 BBC television serial The Singing Detective. Strangelove – with a bitter irony, as the song accompanies a nuclear holocaust that wipes out humanity. ![]() Lynn's 1953 recording is featured in the final scene of Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film Dr. The song gave its name to the 1943 musical film We'll Meet Again in which Lynn played the lead role ( see 1943 in music). The song's original recording featured Lynn accompanied by Arthur Young on Hammond Novachord (an early electronic keyboard), while a rerecording in 1953 featured a more lavish instrumentation and a chorus of British Armed Forces personnel. ![]() Keen, an English pianist also collaborated with Parker and Hughie Charles on "We'll Meet Again" and many other songs published by the company, including "There'll Always Be an England" and "I'm In Love For The Last Time". The song was published by Michael Ross Limited, whose directors included Louis Carris, Ross Parker and Norman Keen. The song is one of the most famous of the Second World War era, and resonated with servicemen going off to fight as well as their families and loved ones. Anyone know this song? Oh and also, interestingly to me the part I wrote above sounds similar to Oasis’ “live forever “ when liam sings” latellyyyy, did you ever feel the paaaaiin, in the mooorrrrrnnnning raaaaaiinnn, as it soaks you to the bone “ It has a similar tempo/beat there during that part." We'll Meet Again" is a 1939 song by English singer Vera Lynn with music and lyrics composed and written by English songwriters Ross Parker and Hughie Charles. I’ve heard the song playing at some retail stores such as homesense but I can’t remember the rest. (Or could be” waiting for a star to fall” something like that) When it all comes down….(or when it all falls down)” I’m waitiiiiing,…….waitiiiiiing(or could be “baby” instead of “waiting”) for you to caaaaaaaalllllll. I’m looking for a 90’s or 2000’s song(I think.)It’s a female singer and reminds me quite a bit of a Sarah McLachlan vibe, especially at the end when she sort of wails angelically as the song ends, and her voice is angelic in the same way as sarah’s too, I actually thought it was her but I can’t find it as any of her songs…and all I remember is it is something like this(lyrics could be totally wrong as every time I’ve heard the song it’s been muffled or playing in the store with lots of noise): I've asked on tiktok, and asked on quite a few YT videos. I've searched numerous lyrics sites and searched / asked on lyrics forums. I'm at a loss, and it’s driving me crazy. I know one lyric video (on YT) of the song had a thumbnail of a picture of a cathedral type hallway with stained glass windows. I have searched all over with all kinds of word searches revolving around the words I can remember and can't find any matches. I’ve been racking my brain for the past 4 day and can’t seem to remember anymore lyrics that could be of help. It's not a popular song either like "Keys to the Kingdom" or “Look What You Made Me Do”. And it's a long song - possibly over 4 minutes.Īs far as I know, the song doesn't have the words: kingdom / keys / hallway / hall in it’s title. I think it's about over coming an enemy, from what I can remember. and I know I’m sure it mentions "kingdom and key / keys" - It's not worship or anything like that. ![]() and something about ghost stories legends told by the fire. ![]() It says something about a hallway in the first verse, could be in the first line. So, the song is by a female artist (or maybe group with a female lead singer) - Maybe Nightcore - and the lyrics are something like: "staring down the hallway" or “standing in the hallway” or “you’re in the hall (hallway?)” Kinda off topic, but I am having a lot of trouble finding a song - and this is a great song lyrics channel, so I'm asking here as a last resort:
