Piper to the End Lyrics: When I leave this world behind me / To another I will go / If there are no pipes in heaven / I'll be going down below / If … My OpinionOne of my favourite gestures in Mark Knopflers folk solo's is his uncanny ability to paint the scene so clearly with so few words.
Writer(s): Mark Knopfler. I am scrolling down the myriad programme options on my TV menu when I see a documentary called, ‘Pipers of The Trenches’ and immediately press the record button as it unites my interests in History and Music.Resolving to watch the programme later I punch the play button on the CD in the car (selected by my son) and at once emerges Mark Knopfler’s wonderful family tribute and lament, ‘Piper To The End’.The musical arrangement has a powerful and tender sway suggesting fathomless depths of feeling at such tragic loss.The interplay between Mark Knopfler’s Guitar and John McCusker’s Violin has a Band of Brothers closeness that sets salt tears swelling.Knopfler’s characteristically laconic delivery lets the music and the traditional and mythic tone of the lyric express the universal pathos of the story.Pipers feature prominently in the lore and legend of the British Army – most especially the Scottish Regiments.Tales of the electric effect of the Pipes on troops about to go into battle abound.On the heights of Dargai in India and on the dusty plains of the Peninsular War wounded Pipers played until their breath fell silent.In the slaughter house fields of the First World War imagine the raw courage of an unarmed Piper marching towards the enemy trenches amid withering machine gun fire and the relentless barrage of artillery shells.In virtually every major battle Pipers played and Pipers were slain.The British Army lost a scarcely credible 20,000 men on the first day of The Battle of The Somme.The Pipers who played that day need no one to tell them about Hell.Still I am convinced that there will be company upon company of Pipers in Heaven.As long as there are storytellers and songwriters like Mark Knopfler their heroism and sacrifice will never be forgotten and the skirl of The Pipes will always echo on.I have been fortunate to grow up to the sounds of the pipes, and nothing beats watching the soldiers marching down from Edinburgh Castle for the start of the festival.
Being a piper to the end. When I leave this world behind me To another I will go If there are no pipes in heaven I’ll be going down below If friends in time be severed
Tales of the electric effect of the Pipes on troops about to go into battle abound. Hard Shoulder. Monteleone. Remembrance Day.
