Today,
here
is a really sweet
way of showing the World that we remember our service men and women from World
War 1 and World War II.
The Poppy Girls is a
British pop band consisting of five school-age girls from Armed Forces families.
The band was first formed in 2013 with the intent to raise money for The Royal
British Legion, and the members were selected from a pool of 1000 performers.
Their debut single
The Call (No Need to Say Goodbye) debuted at number 13 on the UK Singles Chart and was written by Regina Spektor. The full
album, No Need To Say Goodbye, entered the UK Album Chart at number 62 in its
first week.
In November 2013 the group performed in front of Queen Elizabeth
II and Prime Minister David Cameron at the Festival of Remembrance.
The Poppy Girls
The Call (No Need To Say Goodbye)
The
lyrics
It started out as a feeling,
Which then grew into a hope,
Which then turned into a quiet thought,
Which then turned into a quiet word.
And then that word grew louder and
louder,
'Til it was a battle cry,
I'll come back when you call me,
No need to say goodbye,
Just because everything's changing,
Doesn't mean it's ever been this way
before,
All you can do is try to know who your
friends are,
As you head of to the war,
Pick a star on the dark horizon,
And follow the light,
You'll come back when it's over,
No need to say goodbye,
You'll come back when it's over,
No need to say goodbye,
No need to say goodbye,
No need to say goodbye,
No need to say goodbye,(echo)
No need to say goodbye,
No need to say goodbye,
No need to say goodbye,(echo)
Now we're back to the beginning,
It's just a feeling that no one knows
yet,(bah, bah, bah, bah bah)
But just because they can't feel it
too,
Doesn't mean that you have to forget,
Let Your memories grow stronger and
stronger,
'Til they're before your eyes,
You'll come back,
When they call you,
No need to say goodbye,
You'll come back when they call you,
No need to say goodbye.
The song was written by regina spektor
born in Moscow who emigrated at age nine with her family to the USA during the
Perestroika later going on to learn and study music in NY
