Psalm 137 1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion. 2 There on the poplars we hung our harps, 3 for there our captors asked us for songs, our tormentors demanded songs of joy; they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!” 4 How can we sing the songs of the Lord while in a foreign land? 5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. 6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.

Hey, sounds like you forgot the rest of the psalm: 7 Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation. 8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. 9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

@Peter Evans . This recording is analogue. Digita recording of music began in the midst 70's with classical music , made by Philips and Deutsche Gramophon . In the end if 70's, Giorgio Moroder made the first digital recording for an album, the mane is E=MC². But the first album totally in digital recording was The Visitors, the last album of ABBA. It's realized for a "new" technology called compact disc. An analogue recording if well done can be so good than a digital recording, but to show their sound quality depends of the transcript to digital.

[@Лягухеус360]

Я на них впервые открыла свой путь к музыке. Я типичный подросток, но такое ощущение, что не 2024 года, а 1960. Ношу всякую хиповую одежду, скупаю барахолки и занимаюсь прочей ересью. Все началось с того, что я случайно нашла кассету с каким-то "Bony M", забытую за комодом терассы прошлых владельцев участка. Включила и не могла оторваться. Там же я нашла целую кассетницу с записями тех же владельцев, там был Демис Руссос, Абба, Бони М, Модерн Токинг, Квин, Дипиш Мод... Переслушала все. Тогда я сама решила их записывать. И однажды, на компьютере, с которого записывала на кассеты песни с KZbin, в рекомендациях мне попались неизвестные The Beatles. На кассетах их не было. Послушала... Тогда уже Boney M я забросила, ведь заслушала до дыр все их песни. Для меня открывается новый путь - The Beatles. Загадочная, тогда неизвестная для меня группа. Я не могла оторваться от них. Я все никак не могла выучить имена английских, как тогда оказалось, незнакомцев, но в одного из них я влюбилась с первого взгляда - я не знала его имени, интернет не ловил. Но все же я спросила у отца, что это за участник, он удивился, что я слушаю такое старье, и сказал, что это Пол Маккартни. Я мгновенно забыла его имя, но кусок все же остался. Я его так любила, и начала называть его просто "Макар". Эта битломания со мной уже 2 года. Кстати, я хиппи с 47 вещами битлз. Вот так я и нашла для себя свой вкус, нашла себя.

A beautiful, uplifting song. The warm applause at the beginning tells you how already appreciative of the song the audience was. What I recall about the song is that in 1978/79 it was played a few times at friends’ birthday parties (as pop music ideal for nine and ten-year-olds) as well as at some social events like car boot sales. It’s just so cheery. But folk back then got the biblical references. And even today this song is an antidote to the grimness that’s so pervasive in popular entertainment today.

[@revcc1]

Not sure I would say uplifting. It is a lamentation sung by the people of Israel moving into Babylonian captivity, asking themselves how it be possible to sing praises ever again. It is very sad.

Get baptized in the name of Jesus Christ only. God is not Trinity or oneness. The only true God is God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. An he has actual flesh born son who inherited his name. Hebrew 1:1-4 kjv.

Tinerețea noastră. Atât. Nu pricep engleza pentru că nu vreau. Ca un semn de protest. Chiar așa. Mă amuz atunci când văd numai comentarii în engleză. Oameni buni și dragi, îmi place muzica, dar nu comentariile în engleză, fără traducere. Cum ar fi să postați acest videoclip, pe o platformă din România, fără traducere ? Hai, măi oameni, reveniți la normal. Ce e val, ca valul trece! Zic, să vă treziți!

When I was a little kid in Nigeria in the late 90s my parents used to play this song all the time and I would hear it every Sunday on the radio😌😌 It was only when I got older that I realized it was from the book of Psalms and based on actual history of the Jews and their enslavement by the Babylonians.
