In the video below, a lone singer — the wife of a soldier away on deployment — showcases her beautiful solo. Once the chorus hits, however, all of these gorgeous female voices come together in perfect pitch and harmony. The results are spine-tingling, especially when you listen to the lyrics.
"Wherever You Are" is a moving love song written by composer Paul Mealor, performed by Military Wives with Gareth Malone. The music is set to a poem compiled from letters to and from the servicemen and their wives on a 6-month tour of duty in Afghanistan. It's the raw emotion of the song that has touched so many people, making the video go viral with nearly three million views. At 1:04, I couldn't hold back the tears.
Though these are the wives of British soldiers, the song's message hits home. One YouTube commenter says it best: "As a former member of the US Air Force, I want to say KUDOS to the wives who stand by their men. And also KUDOS to these beautiful singers."
Military Wives brings women in the military community closer together through singing, thus creating a sisterhood like no other.
