Great song based on a great story from WWI, if you don't know it the story in 1914 against direct orders from higher ranks to keep fighting British and German soldiers called a truce for Christmas. Soon after German soldiers were heard singing Christmas Carols (Silent Night being the most well known) and soon all the soldiers were singing together in No Man's Land in celebration of Christmas.

From what I understand while there were other battles that kept fighting, both sides tried to call a truce for that one day, and NOT against direct orders.
Either way we could learn alot from that one night even today, in my opinion. -jhempel24 | 12/19/2008 | Beautiful song. More beautiful story. From what I can tell the chords are just right. Too bad we will never see the day when there is no need for any country to even need a military force. -tpmadden | 3/10/2009 | Stupid book I read about this lied to me! lol -LeoKanes | 3/10/2009 |
