Army Dreamers by Kate Bush, arr. by Ken Cormier, sung by Chor Leoni

[@crawler42]

The drill sergeant is a really nice addition. This is definitely one that I come back to a lot.

[@philipe1966]

It’s not an addition, the drill sergeant vocals are on the Kate Bush recording.

[@MeanBarrrracuuda]

Whenever I heard “Fall in!” My heart sank ever time… 😭🙏

[@jacobbakos3140]

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

My brother had never joined the army, but my mom was in the army when she had heard that he had nearly died. She came all the way from her military base to visit him in the hospital and make the decision no parent ever should; whether to take him off life support or not. The entire time she was being criticized and blamed by my father. My brother’s death was kept somewhat private, so you’ll never find any obituaries of him. He never did make it to his 20s, and as his older sister, every year of my life is a milestone he’ll never reach. Rest in peace, Páddy.

[@dreamcaster_leo]

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

[@dreamcaster_leo]

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

[@theArtistNextDoor-oy8xw]

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.

[@Hallelujah333]

God bless everyone who's hurt, or needed His help. I hope they can recover in His name! To be honest, i never really had a good childhood. I experience depression many times, lust, and etc.. But guess what? HE STILL CARED FOR ME! EVEN YOU. HE LOVES YOU. He even saw me sinning, YET HE STILL FORGIVED ME. PLEASE REPENT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. LIFE CAN BE HARD, BUT HE'S STILL HERE TO HELP YOU. Listen. I do adultery when i was a child, cuz of worldly things. Then i experience depression on 7. Then i keep thinking about wrong things at 8 and 9. And..God helped me again. He gave me the happiness i never think i could have. I prayed, fasted. And he asnwered my prayers. He helped me on hard times He gave me the ability, and talent i always prayed for. Yet i used the writing talent from God, the wrong way. Yet i keep covet, because the hobby He gave wasn't enough. Sometimes i can fail, and just want things other people have. Sometimes I'm not grateful. But He still helped me, again. And that's His love for us. He saw you sin, yet still forgived us. We treated Him like a toy, and fail him. He already died on the cross for us. Yet we keep sinning. Please stop failling Him, people. We got the love we don't even deserve. He still helped us. Please. I repented many times, and sometimes i can fail. But that doesn't mean God will just leave you, because you sinned "too much", or whatever. He will try to help you, and you need to listen. Even though if there's ups, and down, i know we all can do it. We can do anything through God, everything is possible. Don't fall for the tricks from the devil. Don't do worldly things. Faith without works is dead. Repent before it's too late, because it might be too late. Don't focus when will salvation happened, instead, focus on God more. Fast, pray, do His commands. Trust, and it will happened. Anything compared to God's love, is nothing. He will help you if you're depressed. There's things that Christians should NOT say, for example ; i swear, i can't, what the -, bad words, mocking His name, oh my (-.) (God's name), saying His name in vain, judging people, lying, karma, lucky, etc. These are not allowed, and is breaking God's rules. Also as an Christian, we must be patient, care and love for each other, spread gospel, respect (other religion, people, parents, anything.), not jealous, and humble. [Going to church is important, it can help your faith. Because social as an Christian is pretty important. There's important things you might find out, that you didn't know from the Bible.] And even smallest things! Wait for people who's talking to complete what they're saying, helping someone who needed our help, invite someone to go to church. Don't be afraid to spread the gospel, i used to experience that, but it can save someone who needed His help. You can practice love, by helping your parents/doing their commands, pray for people who needs it ; even your enemies. Doing these is the same as loving God. Don't let talents, electric things (phone, tv, whatever), lust / adultery, other god, and etc above God! I know it might be hard, but we need to stop. How? Pray to God to give the things you needed to stop doing the sins, ask Him to help you, and fast, and you can spend your free time spending with family, and fast. Don't make harsh jokes that might hurt someone, or dirty jokes, etc Don't covet / don't be jealous. We need to learn to be grateful for what God have given us. Don't be greedy, spare for people who needed these. And it can hurt people too. Don't lie, spread rumors. We need to be careful by what we're gonna say Careful with what we're seeing, saying, hearing, doing, or whatever. Be humble / don't do pride Close the door when you're about to pray, or fast. Don't be addicted, or do adultery. Adultery is doing something dirty. Addicted can be about your electrical things, alcohol, dru*s, smoking. Be careful and don't try to say other god's name. And dont praise other god than Him. Don't kill innocent people • Good deeds won't take you to heaven. • Let God do the work sometimes Don't believe in luck or karma Don't lie. • It will not end good. • Even if it hurts, it makes you closer to God. Don't be lazy. Don't sleep too much, don't play mobile too long. If you're sad, or feel like you're going to do something wrong. Immediately pray to God! Ask for help! Remember, we can't do things without God. Every asnwer to do things is God. We can't repent without His name. Please repent before it's too late. If you're sad, He's always here. If you're sick, may God heal you. • Please don't give up. Venting to God can help. Life can be hard sometimes, and I'm sorry if you're struggling. • He loves you no matter what. If you repent, He will forgive you. We need to let the past be the past, and change ourselves for God. Don't compare anyone, or even yourself. We all have worth No one is perfect except God. We need His help God bless you :) Spread the gospel, everyone. Don't be afraid. Because it might save someone. God bless everyone who's hurt, or needed His help. I hope they can recover in His name! everyone please repent before it's too late and God loves you all btw and if you're sad pray to God!!

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.
