Motorhead - 1916 Lyrics

Unbelievable emotion in the song.. You're not human if this song doesn't move you..The atrocities of War, have we learned nothing R.I.P. Lemmy...We will ALWAYS remember your name!

Something that I like is that in the album cover you see a lot of flags, not only the british one, it looks like Lemmy respected all those soldiers who fought in WW1.
You won't be forgotten Lemmy
We are Motörhead, and we play rock n' roll

And people says that rockers don't have emotions...
Tell me the name of a modern song like this one, emotional, speaks about things that happened and sounds good

This, paschendaele (can't spell) and in Flanders field on sabaton's great war! Metal can do thought Provoking too haters!

I think I read somewhere that Lemmy would have liked to sing this live, but it just never would have fit.

thank you for putting our flag
mamma mia to you
God bless you all
R.I.P. Lemmy

Sad fact is that the ANZACS were used as cannon fodder for the British

Rest in peace you beautiful bastard you.

Never again war

all soldiers rest in peace.Salute you all from Turkey

Excellent track

Emotional track, written after he saw a documentary on WW1 I believe. RIP Lemmy

our biggest past time = TRIBAL WARFARE
why dont aliens land on the white house lawn ? WOULD YOU ?
look what we do to our brothers & sisters ,what the fuck would we do to an outsider .....

Rest in peace Ian
🤘

RIP Lemmy

Oh God...whos cutting onions

What an epic song...Thanks Lemmy
.

Honor for the fallen of the Battle of the Somme and the WW1 in general, regardless of the nation

Salute to the Fallen!! R.i.p Sgt. Williams II . It was an honor

Sadly now Selling out to the EUSSR... after Sooo Many Lives Lost to Prevent this very thing...😢😢😢

This album is nice, fast n' heavy (as a Motorhead album should be)... then this comes on. I cried the first time I heard it.

Beautiful song

Lest We Forget.

God Bless

Battle of the Somme?

2:29 almost made me cry!

1:36 such good description of war!

For kids

Great song about the Great War, even though the war to end all wars only inspired future conflict.

My band have to write a song in college based on the war, i'm the drummer, the military style drums of this is great however, a bit repetitive. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Does Motörhead have any other sad songs similar to this one?
I love that style, it's refreshing to hear Lemmy singing calmly

Dont Let Daddy Kiss Me, God Was Never On Your Side Or Till The End.

Aint no nice guy after all is well worth a listen.

HAMMER!!!

Such a fucking epic song, cant believe it doesnt have more views, its definitely one of my faves

Aaaaaah l lov this

Lemmy is a motorhead legend

However, I'll never forget how Ian Fraser Killmisrer passed away on Boxing day.

My Grandfather was a prisoner of war and fortunately he came home. I was fortunate enough to have got to know him as a wonderful man.

Ananizi siktik orospu cocuklari

1 moment of silence is in order - thank you 🤪👍

God bless you lemmy 😥

How to cry twice: first, to think about all those just 18 poor boys who were recruited to die in the battlefields, second, realize that also lemmy is no longer with us since almost 4 years...

R.I.P Lemmy.

He said many things. We learned nothin?
Means we are stupid? Dont pay that. Hope at least...

Violins in Motörhead, is it a dream or a nightmare ?☺

Sounds like something out of The Final Cut.

May allah send you in jannah lemmy, i love you , i love you lemmy I'm sending you my prayers to heaven <3

SONG MAKES ME CRY...SO MUCH EMOTION IN LEMMY'S VOICE...SOUNDS AS IF HE'S NEARLY CRYING HIMSELF..

The way he sings it.... Goosebumps... Fan-tas-tic!

When I hear this song I'm always crying! R.I.P peace Lemmy!

Almost 30 years since the first time I heard this and it still raises goosebumps and make my eyes water.

all the songs of war,from horns & bugles to rock n roll & still for over 400 years there hasnt been a single solitary day where there hasnt been Tribal warfare on planet earth ,every day we kill each other :/ shit really init ,but we were lucky we had Motorhead ......

If you don't shed a tear while listening to this song...you'ra not human...

just that he is aintelligent and a strong mind up men.... and what is the answer of this "people" where ridicilous only on posotion....tats no british or german or neighborschip thing...thats only european at this moment and when they dont still ariive (at their heads) they are no longer there ...

Te extraño siempre Lemmy.

ONE OF THE GREATEST BALLADS I´VE EVER HEARD111!!!!

Lest we forget.

Amazing song...fuck politicians and pigs who turn people against one another.

Drunk and upset. Glad I wasn’t in 1916. Thank you Lemmy.

This is gay

I made it to the opening line before the hairs on my neck stood up. A masterpiece. RIP Lemmy.

I almost cried. Beautiful song.

why am I not feeling any sort of sad, depressing, sympathetic emotion? I just feel normal.🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Fuck.. this song makes me cry

Thank you guys for remembering those that lost it all for a greater good. I miss you. RIP

While working on a setlist for my band for our upcoming shows and album release show, I was looking for a cover that fit the narrative of war for the last half of the show to close the night with and I came across 1916. This song has to be the most haunting ballad I've heard in a while (besides love me forever), and I feel it would be perfect to close the show and give two tributes, the big one being all the soldiers lost in the great war, let alone The Somme, and Motörhead for being a major influence.

Great epic song! I've never heard Lemmy's voice clean. This song made me cry. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

* God on my side *.

And he didn’t believe in Him?

Uh, this song's about someone who DID believe, though.

can't help but cry a little every time

ANGOL GECI

Epic! Lemmy is what some people called god! But he is more like a Bastard...and he won't be be an icon god!

Lemmy for eher! He is the King

The violin bro

Wow!!!!!!!!!!

Razorfist brought me here...

Brothers in Arms by DireStraits, also great song.

Veterans Day 2018

This is the only song that bring a tear to my eye.

Lemmy Father R.İ.P.

Reminds me of the final cut by Pink Floyd

always brings tears :(

Lemmy is God :c

Lemmy..the only One Badass enough too play poker with Pinhead 🤘

Wir hatten dieses Lied im Geschichtsunterricht.

Hundred of thousands died for nothing. But that's the faith of the humans. The don't learn anything about that what was going wrong and their history. Twenty years later they repeated the same mistake again. But this time it was the biggest catastrophy that the world had ever seen before. And one time they will repeat it again. But now there are no survivors.
How did Einstein say?
"I don't know anything about the weapons in the third world war. But I know what kind of weapons will be used in the fourth world war: sticks and stones."

R.I.P. Mr. Kilmister

Quite possibly the saddest song ive ever heard, I cry every time

his voice dosent sound good singing this but i think that adds to it really

This is one very awesome cool song
NEVER FORGOTTEN
RIP lem
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

R.I.P. you genius! Fuck, he was the best

I love how this song is not just for the brits its for every solider that fought
