Soldiers Of Love
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soldiers Of Love was the Belgian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1987, performed in Dutch despite the English title (although some lines are sung in that language) by Liliane Saint-Pierre.
The song was performed fifth on the night (following Iceland's Halla Margrét with Hægt Og Hljótt and preceding Sweden's Lotta Engberg with Boogaloo). At the close of voting, it had received 56 points, placing 11th in a field of 22.
The song is a plea for global peace, with Saint-Pierre singing of the need to be "soldiers of love" against the violent tendencies of the world.
It was succeeded as Belgian representative at the 1988 Contest by Reynaert singing Laissez Briller Le Soleil.
