Dad's no matter who they are can never be cool......
If she was me I'd still be grinning months later......
Perhaps the most moving song I've ever heard.
That song is a masterpiece, especially considering it's backstory.
Literally brought tears to my eyes.

Terribly sad about his son.
I'm a big Clapton fan, however, I don't like this song at all.
I always rank it as his worst ever, but I DO understand why it's so popular.

Yeah.
It would be pretty cool to have David Gilmour teach you how to play guitar.
One of my all time favourite players.
@Aussie I really enjoyed that Aussie.
I have posted a lot of contemporary music on here from popular musicians and singers. But orchestral music is different. For me, the music that a full orchestra can produce is deep and rich, and it can evoke emotion.
This one does that for me. It reminds me of my son and his story of life. He has sacrificed a lot in the service of his country, physically and emotionally. This music reminds me not of the first time he went, but of all the times he returned to do it again.
A beautiful piece, and unfortunately, I cannot find a live performance of it. It's called "Look Around You".

This is the one which triggers me...an Aussie song. Vietnam War. My time. I was not conscripted thanks to an accident of my birth date, but many of my mates including my Brother lost the Lottery and were forced into the Army. Brother just missed being sent to Vietnam after Whitlam was elected PM and said nah to 'All the way with LBJ.' Reckon you have heard this here before.

"I was only 19."
Thought provoking, emotions-provoking song.
I served, but not in combat. But from the perspective of a "war parent", that's a very moving song.

Share it in the USA, @SethBullock
The Eagles in Melbourne in 2004. Look at everyone having a great time together. I sure hope we can return to those days soon.

@SethBullock - Were you thrown by the word Puckapunyal?

To be honest, I didn't notice it. Some of the words were hard for me to make out, but I could understand enough of it that it had an impact.
