Love songs were
One popular love song is called "We'll Meet Again" written by Hughie Charles but sang by Vera Lynn:
|
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. |
Another love song is "As time goes by," sang by Frank Sinatra
|
The song invokes a sense of longing and despite what brought the future they would always stay together, meaning that many soldiers did not know if they would die tomorrow or when they would come back home. This song gives a spark of hope to the soldiers and their loved ones that they would soon encounter each other and their love would always be unconditional and infinite no matter what happens.
