Thank you, my friend SGT Steve McFarland for posting the music video live from Rotterdam, Holland as pipers and drums play When Pipers Play
When Pipers Play
Lyrics
"I hear the voice, I hear the war
I hear the sound, on a distant shore
I feel the spirit of yesterday,
I touch the past, when the pipers play.
The pipes kept playing, for you and me
They kept on saying, we will soon be free
And your soul will never fade away
You'll live forever, when the pipers play
The pibroch rears its deadly cry
Ah, some will live and some will die
And though they passed so far away
I feel their presence when the pipers play
The pipes kept playing, for you and me
They kept on saying, we will soon be free
And your soul will never fade away
You'll live forever, when the pipers play
It speaks of love, I have lost
Its speaks of my eternal cost
It speaks the price of peace today
A price remembered, when the pipers play
We do remember when the pipers play
The pipes kept playing, for you and me
They kept on saying we will soon be free
And your soul will never fade away
You'll live forever, when the pipers play
The pipes kept playing, for you and me
They kept on saying we will soon be free
And your soul will never fade away
You'll live forever, when the pipers play"

Thank you for posting the lyrics Colonel Ford. This is one of those tunes, that while it isn't technically-difficult, calls the conscientious piper to feel the weight, the history of the tune. It is a lament, composed in sorrow, grieving the loss of those who will never come home. It is a poignant-reminder that Freedom is NOT "free", but comes at a grave cost, both personal and collectively.
It, and Flowers Of The Forest, are frequently played at funerals, memorial and committal services. I have played both many times, and they were never "easy" to play.
