Artist: Doris Day

Album: 16 Most Requested Songs

Genre: Jazz

Gonna take a sentimental journey Gonna set my heart at ease Gonna make a sentimental journey To renew old memories Got my bag, got my reservation Spent each dime, I could afford Like a child in wild anticipation Long to hear that 'All aboard' Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven I'll be waitin' up at Heaven Countin' every mile of railroad track That takes me back Never thought my heart could be so yearny Why did I decide to roam? Gotta take that sentimental journey Sentimental journey home Sentimental journey

D-Day 80: The most poignant wartime songs

6 June 2024, 11:45

By Maddy Shaw Roberts

As the world commemorates the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, we remember the music that helped to bring comfort amid the horrors of the Second World War.

From Vera Lynn to Doris Day , here are some of the most beautiful songs and jazz standards which found widespread popularity in a time of war.

‘I’ll Be Seeing You’

Published in 1938, ‘I’ll Be Seeing You’ became one of the most popular songs around the time of the Second World War. In an era of uncertainty and grief, its soothing sounds and nostalgic words resonated with people. Have a listen to it through the warm, undulating tones of Billie Holiday.

Billie Holiday - I'll Be Seeing You (1944)

‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’

Composed by Harold Arlen for the movie The Wizard of Oz (1939) , ‘ Somewhere Over the Rainbow ’ gained a new poignancy during the war. Judy Garland performed it live for American troops in 1943, and a special recording with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra was released and sent to soldiers, as a promise of better days to come.

‘White Cliffs of Dover’

Most famously sung by Vera Lynn, ‘White Cliffs of Dover’ is a song yearning for peace in a time of war. Lynn’s voice, with the promise of ‘love and laughter’ and ‘peace ever after’, vows that in a time of darkness, something good will eventually happen.

Dame Vera Lynn 'The White Cliffs Of Dover' + 'We'll Meet Again' 1984

‘White Christmas’

Bing Crosby’s old-fashioned Christmas hit found new audiences in the middle of the Second World War. Its mix of nostalgia (‘just like the ones I used to know’) with its comforting images of home (‘where the treetops glisten’) began to resonate with people. In 1942 alone, Crosby’s version spent 11 weeks at the top of the Billboard charts.

‘Sentimental Journey’

Its release coinciding with the end of the Second World War in Europe, this pop-jazz standard became the unofficial homecoming song for many veterans. Here it is, recorded by the late, legendary Doris Day.

‘We’ll Meet Again’

Performed by Sheridan Smith at the 75th D-Day commemoration in Portsmouth, ‘We’ll Meet Again’ is one of the most famous songs of the World War II era. The original recording, voiced by Vera Lynn, resonated with soldiers going to war as well as those praying for them at home.

‘A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square’

Written in 1939 about a particularly leafy square in Mayfair, London, its romantic lyrics and feelings of nostalgia made ‘A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square’ a natural wartime favourite. On 10 July 2005, at a national celebration of the 60th anniversary of the ending of the Second World War, the song was sung live to millions in central London, including a number of veterans.

Charli XCX is back where she belongs. On the dance floor.

The trendsetting British pop singer gets personal and puts it all together on the club-ready “Brat”

On her best songs, such as “Vroom Vroom” or “Speed Drive,” Charli XCX is in the driver’s seat of something flashy, like a Ferrari, racing through red lights and leaving the competition behind. Often, the destination is unclear, unknown or unimportant: The point — as it has been whether Chuck Berry had “No Particular Place to Go” or Tracy Chapman was planning the future via “Fast Car” — is the journey.

Until now. On her new album, “Brat,” the 31-year-old singer-songwriter is headed to the site of her artistic inception and the place where she seems most comfortable: the club, with a Serato full of serotonin. And after the ups and downs of more than a decade in the music industry, it feels like she’s finally home.

The Style section

If “Brat” is home, then Charli is the architect and designer. Over the years, she has created a personal sphere of influence in pop, both as a songwriter for other stars and a sonic blueprint for an entire subgenre, hyperpop, at the mainstream’s margins. In both the text and rollout of “Brat,” she’s started to populate that world with a cast of characters, such as celebrity muse Julia Fox, who pops up in her music video, DJ set, entourage and lyrics. “I’m everywhere, I’m so Julia,” Charli sings on “360,” the opening track on “Brat,” and a mission statement: “I’m your favorite reference, baby.”

That’s always been a theme in Charli’s lyrics, where she paints herself — with fake-it-til-you-make-it grandeur — as an icon, as number one, as a fantasy, as an object of obsession and jealousy. But for the first time, she is reckoning with the mental toll of measuring your self-worth through Billboard charts and against industry frenemies, especially when life-or-death intrudes on clubland fantasies.

Throughout “Brat,” Charli and her producers keep the album from veering across the sonic median, as was often the case on 2019’s “Charli.” Instead, the album keys in on the dance floor nostalgia of the best songs on 2022’s “Crash,” leaning into mutating synths, wobbly bass lines and nonstop percussion drawn from the dance music continuum, especially the genres popularized in the British clubs where she came of age. These are the sounds and scenes nodded to amid the heart-pumping disequilibrium of “Club Classics,” on which Charli name-drops whose tracks (other than her own) she wants to hear on a night out: scene-leaders such as A.G. Cook, Hudson Mohawke and Sophie.

Sophie, an iconic and influential dance producer who died in 2021 at 34, gets the spotlight on the moving “So I.” Instead of a sentimental paean, Charli interrogates her relationship with her friend and collaborator. “Would you like this one?” she wonders, “Maybe just a little bit?,” capturing the sense of unanswered questions that accompany grief.

That’s not the only time “Brat” gets personal. On the surprisingly poignant “I think about it all the time,” Charli’s conversational lyrics shift the FOMO from the club to the crib, putting parenthood in perspective: “Should I stop my birth control? Because my career feels so small in the existential scheme of it all.”

While those lyrics show a vulnerable side, Charli is hitting her peak as a proponent of party girl life and times. The bad tattoos and plastic Jesus Christ signs of “Everything is romantic” evoke the songs of Lana Del Rey, if she spent more time in Naples, Italy, than Naples, Fla. Lana is there again — this time in Charli’s Airpods —on “Mean Girls,” a hands-in-the-air anthem about a coquette with a “razor-sharp tongue stuck to skinny cigarettes.” Even more evocatively, a French manicured fingertip wipes out cocaine residue on closer “365,” a sinister sister track to “360” that toys with the double meaning of how the tracks “bump” in the night.

By the time the “Mortal Kombat” synths of “365” fade out, some listeners will be tempted to rewind “Brat” and play it from the top: Another full circle moment for a pop star who has embraced the cult classics — if not best sellers — on which she’s built her foundation.

Doris Day (born Doris Mary Ann Kappelhoff, April 3, 1922) is an American actress, singer, and animal rights activist, who began her career as a big band singer in 1939, but only began to be noticed after her first hit recording, "Sentimental Journey", in 1945. After leaving the Les Brown & His Band of Renown to try a solo career, she started her long-lasting partnership with Columbia Records, which would remain her only recording label. The contract lasted from 1947 to 1967, and included more than 650 recordings, making Day one of the most popular and acclaimed singers of the 20th century. In 1948, after being persuaded by Sammy Cahn, Jule Styne and her agent at the time, Al Levy, she auditioned for Michael Curtiz, which led to her being cast in the femal… more »
