As we approach VE Day (Victory in Europe Day), it's worth remembering that music wasn’t just entertainment during World War II — it was vital to the spirit of the people.
From the trenches to the home front, songs like "We'll Meet Again" and "The White Cliffs of Dover" gave people comfort, courage, and a sense of connection during a time of deep uncertainty. Radio broadcasts, dances, and singalongs became powerful tools of unity, lifting morale and keeping hope alive.
Imagine hearing those notes float across a bomb shelter or a war-torn city… A reminder that even in the darkest moments, music could bring light.
