A Tribute to Harry Patch by Radiohead
Here in the UK we’ve all heard the news of the death of Harry Patch, who was the last surviving british veteran of World War 1. It’s made a lot of people reflect and sadly a lot of people have taken no notice at all.
Now, I’m not going to go into a rant and tell people what they should think or feel about this, my concern is that with no one left to remind us of this terrible war, people are just going to be free to forget about it.
Anyway, whilst on Facebook this morning a post from the Radiohead Facebook Page appeared on my homepage with a link to their new song “Harry Patch (In Memory Of)” and I just wanted to share it with you.
To download the song visit the Radiohead Website and the link is in an article posted on Wednesday 5th August 2009.
It will cost 1.00 GBP (£1) to download with the proceeds going to the British Legion. I would encourage anyone to download this because, not only is it for a great cause with the lyrics containing an important message, but the song itself is beautiful.
Anyway, I’ll get off your case now. Let me know what you think below.
Enjoy!
