Hi, all
This song has been co-written with David Cuny.
There would be so much things to say about D-Day.
Because I'm french, I only will say "Thank you, Boys!"

On june 6, forty four
You landed on this sand
Stormed the beach at Omaha
With a grease gun in your hand
Under heavy german fire
Fought to make it up the shore
Up into the breach
And to the killing floor

Bodies lying on the ground
Drowned soldiers in cold water
Though death was all around
You survived the slaughter
So many friends have fallen
So many lives were lost
Still, you had a job to do
No matter what the cost

Today in Normandy
You weep for the losses
Of your brothers resting deep
Under these white stone crosses
And though eighty years have passed
Since they have paid the price
We always will remember
And thank them for their sacrifice

Bonjour Christian
Ta chanson me rappelle un jour ou je suis allé au cimetière d'Omaha. Il devait y avoir la relève de la garde de l'armée américaine et un Gi jouez de la trompette, il y avait toutes ses tombes blanches avec l'âge des gars dessus et la plage en contrebas. Ca te prend aux tripes et tu pense à tout ces jeunes, mort sur la plage. Comme les vieux de 14 tu te dis: plus jamais ça mais il y a toujours un gros con pour remettre le couvert. Ca fait pitié. Merci pour eux , merci pour nous.
Amicalement
Laurent

Hi, Christian.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to work on this with you - and your patience!

This came out great.

Pretty cool song about an important historical event in your country, nicely narrated by Natalie.
I think you guys did a really good job. The song says "I am French" without being too "Chanson".
Love it!

Christian and David,
I love this, the lyrics are a wonderful tribute to those that fell in that operation.
And to me, your "singer" has that small French Cafe sound.

Well done and great job.

Very cool composition. Natalie does a nice job, and the band sounds just right. The electric guitar solo was a brave choice, but sounds perfect to me. The sanctity of Normandy is still understood by many over here. Nice to hear this tune!

Christian and David,
An outstanding tribute to those whom perished on that most important day of the war.
Everything is perfect.

Thank you all,
It was important to me to create a song about this so special day.
David's linguistic help was very valuable to me.

LOVE IT! Very good song, Chris and David. Well-written and the lyrics are so good. Natalie is becoming one of my favorite singers ---surely the top choice of synths. My wife and I were in Normandy for the 70th anniversary.

Christian...what a wonderful tribute to those brave men who charged into the fray that day and days to come...you and David have an exquisite job here...the track is super...great band...and Natalie has never sounded better!

Fantastic song you two. "Since they have paid the price We always will remember And thank them for their sacrifice" That ought to be on a bumper sticker to help more folks remember.

Brad

Thanks Brad,
This song is my way of paying tribute to all those young Americans who risked their lives to free us. Many lost their lives there! We are so indebted to them...
