We'll Meet Again



"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 of the Second World War era, and resonated with soldiers going off to fight and their families and sweethearts.

The song gave its name to the 1943 musical film We'll Meet Again in which Dame Vera Lynn played the lead role. 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 World War II 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 programs held in 20 (twenty) 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 When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, it is first sung by Bill Cipher during the siege of Kassala when Team Magic School Bus, the Kids Next Door, the Team Fortress Union, the Equestria Girls, Ed, Edd, Eddy, Numbuh 1, Goku and Ford Pines, including Walovlir Motovov, Polina Petrov, Richard Motovov, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, Yang Xiao Long, Högl Loud, Su Ji-Hoon, the Preschool Girls, General Bruce Gutherson, Ahmed al-Arif, John Timmermans, Peter Högl, Erwin Rommel and John Burgoyne, were trapped all together in a penthouse suite that is located on the top of the Fearamid.
