The Canadian war is something we always remember by on Remembrance Day. However, these seven songs will tell you more about the experience and how it had affected a lot of lives in its patriotic and nationalistic appeal to its listeners.<\/p>\n
On a Beach in France (Katherine Wheatley)<\/strong><\/p>\n This touching novel-inspired song came from the part of Timothy Findley’s novel. It was particularly where a mother explains to her child why his father is acting in that manner, a woman’s perspective of man’s thinking after their experience on the battlefield.<\/p>\n Flowers of Saskatchewan (David Francey)<\/strong><\/p>\n From Francey’s sophomore album “Far End of Summer,” the song narrates a scene where someone is reflecting on the men and women involved in the war but never got to come home. It has a touching tune and heart-warming melody, and it can move your soul towards paying more respect to those who died during the Second World War.<\/p>\n The Rocket (Fred Eaglesmith)<\/strong><\/p>\n The story of the song circles around a veteran of World War I whose perspective on the war changed after a train failed to arrive at the expected day and time.<\/p>\n All Our Roses (Doris Folkens)<\/strong><\/p>\n This is one of the newer songs that speak about Remembrance Day, where Folkens’ family narrated how they have survived the war.<\/p>\n Soldier Song (Madeleine Roger)<\/strong><\/p>\n This heart-warming song truly tells the struggles of those who have survived the war yet continues to fight the battle in their minds. The music has some jazz-tinged touch because of her voice, but it sure brings the message of hope and survival.<\/p>\n Hold the Line (Nathan Rogers)<\/strong><\/p>\n This song tells the story of two farm boys and their experience in World War I, and how it affected them throughout their whole life.<\/p>\n Echoes of Heroes (Gordon Lightfoot)<\/strong><\/p>\n This song pays tribute to all the soldiers who died in the war.
