This video should be a lot higher in my search results

this is the finest, finest recording of this song on youtube. from the tempo, the swell and decrescendos, the unified pronunciation and tone... wonderful.

When I hear this I feel proud to be Flemish. And also proud to be an anglophile. I know the poem In Flanders' Fields by heart, but fantastic that the poem also has a song version. And the song version of this choir is the best I could find on KZfaq. WOW! Je word er stil van! My granddad was a soldier in the first world war.

i recently had a veterans day assembly, and i had to keep this song on my mind because of how amazing it was.

i got introduced to this song from extra credits when they did a series of videos about WWI. as soon as i heard the song, which they played during the end credits, i stuck around to listen to it because of how beautiful it was. This is the most touching rendition of the piece i have heard. you guys did an absolutely bang up job!

Wow. Pure chills. Marvellously done.

Beautiful!

it really astonished my spirit, i feel I'm in paradise now

So amaziiinnngggggg i love it and im french

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

This is beautiful and sad at the same time.

Damn this song hits right in the feel for both the music and what it represent as a French man I have to say the first world War is both the worst and most pointless war ever waged and probably one of the worst atrocities in human history millions of soldiers died on the battlefields for the pride and the ego of the ones at the top. The war wasn't about taking territories nor religious it was about who was the strongest it's a war that had no winners no matter what history says no war needs to have so much slaughter for such egotistical reasons. The war had many nam: "the great war", "The war to end all war"... I prefer to call it the seminal catastrophe when you see what led to it.

Echt zo mooi!

this is lovely but the applause goes longer than the music

Written by a Canadian. Dr. John McCrae who died in the last days of the war.

Prachtig! De mooiste versie van dit lied/gedicht dat ik al gehoord heb! Zou ik enkele seconden van dit liedje mogen gebruiken om in een video van mij te steken, ik maak wandelvideo's over steden en ondertussen geef ik de geschiedenis van die steden en Vlaanderen mee. Ik zou graag volgende keer iets met In Flanders Fields willen doen :) Alvast bedankt

Today it was finally over. May the poppies grow forever
