"We'll Meet Again" is a 1939 British song made famous by singer Vera Lynn with music and lyrics composed and written by Ross Parker and Hughie Charles. The song is one of the most famous songs of the Second World War era, and resonated with soldiers going off to fight and their families and sweethearts. The assertion that "we'll meet again" is optimistic, as many soldiers did not survive to see their loved ones again. The song gave its name to the 1943 musical film ''We'll Meet Again'' in which Dame Vera Lynn played the lead role (''see'' 1943 in music). Lynn's recording is featured in the final scene of Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film ''Dr. Strangelove'', and was also used in the closing scenes of the 1986 BBC television serial ''The Singing Detective''. British director John Schlesinger used the song in his 1979 WWII film, ''Yanks'', which is about British citizens and American soldiers during the military buildup in the UK as the Allies prepared for the D-Day Invasion. During the Cold War, Lynn's recording was included in the package of music and programmes held in 20 underground radio stations of the BBC's Wartime Broadcasting Service (WTBS), designed to provide public information and morale-boosting broadcasts for 100 days after a nuclear attack. Lynn sang the song in London on the 60th Anniversary of VE Day in 2005. ==In popular culture== * Traditionally, this song is played on May 5 as a closure to the Liberation Day Concert in Amsterdam, to mark the end of World War II in the Netherlands, as the monarch leaves the concert on a canal boat. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「We'll Meet Again」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
