"stupid sexy Flanders" - Kaiser Whilhem II, probably meme's aside beautiful tribute Glumbo

[@anemone3694]

Listening from Poland on Independence Day - it really hits different. In spite of what the name suggest, our Independence Day has always been more of a somber, pensive memorial for the dead than a joyous celebration of freedom. So we're joining with everyone who commemorates Veterans' Day today, and especially with all those who are fighting still, wherever in the world they are. Here's to all the lives lost needlessly on the altar of the cruel war machine, and to the hope for an end to all wars. Beautiful arrangement, Glimbo.

This poem is legendary in Canada, growing up we hear it every year in school. I even visited McCraes house in Guelph, Ontario

He uploaded Blisstake in May 2023, on a day that was so quiet and still on the whole front, that the Patreon report confined itself to the single sentence: "All quiet on the glidus front."

As a canadian, we heard this poem every year in school. Thanks for the vid glimbo!

[@thing_under_the_stairs]

Also Canadian, and I think this poem is permanently imprinted on my memory. In fact, I clearly remember our high school senior choir director having fits while attempting to drill an arrangement very much like this one into our heads!

Lovely. Perfect tribute for Rememberance Day

[@shyam8398]

Tingles bro, tingles. It really is a powerful message to ponder while war still rages.

[@herbertschulz4313]

What a touching performance, english and german ww1 songs have this wonderfull melancholy to them, in a way that no french "we have to defend our homeland" from that era can match. May the dead who never saw adulthood rest in peace

[@Charles-In-Charge]

Thank you for doing this, you’re incredible. Also, I had no idea your voice could get that low, bravo!

[@glimbus]

Listen closely to the end of Dany Don't You Know, I think that's the lowest I've ever recorded. I can technically go lower than even that, but I'm not practiced enough yet for that to sound any good.

[@Charles-In-Charge]

[@calebkoel296]

Thanks for the beautiful reminder. Lest we forget.

[@kaialexander6806]

You know, through all five years of high school, they played this over the two minutes of silence we observed for Remembrance Day, but it never quite conveyed what your version of it just did. When the tenth bar (I think, I haven't read music in a while) hit, everything from the first nine hit in a way that I've never really felt before. Being British, I've heard/seen/read In Flanders Fields at least twice as many times than years I've been alive - so much of modern day Britain is steeped into WW2 that I'd been in air-raid shelter with my school before I'd even learned to write my name - and this is one of the few that left an impact on me. This was a beautiful listen; thank you.

[@xnina92x]

This just moves me. There lies so much grief in this poem and in your voice. Thank you for this. I am from Germany and have heard a few storys from Ukrainien citizens who had to flee their country. It makes me sad, that people still have to suffer from the consequences of war 😔 As a german I feel this deep Responsibility to never let this happen again 😣

[@morganhunt8051]

The chord on the first beat of the last “grow” is that Cm11/Eb? Such a cool sound

[@glimbus]

yeah you could spell it like that, i think of it more as EbMaj9add13 because the C is such a small part of the chord's character.

[@morganhunt8051]

@@glimbusah yeah that makes sense with the octave Eb’s in the bottom. Thanks for the reply

[@Taveren]

Canadian Soldiers were often squaded up with other people from the same small town so life lomg friends often saw eachother die -- This makes the stories of Canadians during World War 1 seem a little more understandable.

idk what you mean, it's just an EbMaj9add13 whose upper voices glide up to Fadd9 resulting in a EbMaj13omit5, kindergarten stuff really

[@f_f_f_8142]

Beautiful rendition. I must say, I find it weird that the text has survived in this form being used for remembrance, containing a call to arms instead of let's say pointing out how pointless this was.

it's what they teach you as a choir boy here, supress your accent so you don't sound ridiculous

@@glimbus Funny, here in Canada they taught us to sing in choir with a touch of an English accent because it sounded more elegant than our close-to-the-border almost American accents.

Never forget the millions dead for imperialist squabbling.

[@billychops1280]

Not necessarily imperialist squabbling, Serbia and Austria were just having it out over an assassination and then Russia decided they were honour bound to help so they called in France and England, which caused Austria to call their allies for defence. The war wasn’t caused because any of these empires wanted more power, in fact it destroyed their power

[@ssullivan3988]

@@billychops1280 Bruh. The Archduke was assasinated because of the persecution of Serbs and erosion of political freedoms in Bosnia, under the control of the Austro-Hungarian empire (imperialism). The assasination was used as a pretext to invade and occupy Serbia (imperialism) who they accused of aiding the assasination (with little evidence). Russia was not 'honour-bound', they moved to defend Serbia as part of their wider belief in pan-slavism as a justification to dominate the Balkans and take Instanbul from the Ottomans (which they attempted several times in the 19th century) (imperialism). The Germans had ambitions of carving up the Russian empire, which they realised at the treaty of Brest-Litovsk when they annexed everything from the Baltic to Ukraine for themselves and Austria (imperialism), not to mention colonial gains. Britain and France had massive colonial gains from the Germans after the war, as well as taking Syria, and the Levant from the Ottomans, and would of taken more had the Turks not driven them out of Anatolia. The entire war was a massive powerplay from each of the empires, who had run out of viable land to carve up in Africa, so had to compete directly with each other to take it. What interest did the average British, French, or Anzac soldier have to be torn to bits in Flanders, Gallipoli, in going to war in the first place. The ruling class of each of the empires sent millions to their death for their own interest. World War One was not an accident. It's cause was, but had Princip failed, something else would of happened that would of started a war on similar lines, like another Morocco Crisis.

[@billychops1280]

@@ssullivan3988 the assassination was in itself an act of war, also no because it was done by terrorist not endorsed by Serbia or Bosnia, also the Austrians hadn’t been nearly as oppressive as they were made out to be, the whole thing was literally foreshadowed by Otto Von Bismarck who basically said, if anyone is gonna start shit it’s the Balkans and what he meant was the Slavs which is arguably all they’ve done since migrating south, starting wars. Austria had been in control of those lands for so long and yet there was no assassination attempts because they weren’t as hard on them as you say, plus the emperor of Austria was so old and depressed over the loss of family that he didn’t have any energy to be an ass to the Serbs on purpose, the Serbs saw that Franz Ferdinand was the only heir to the empire and so they took their shot so they could weaken an already shaky Austria. And no it was just a series of people calling in their allies to war, had this taken place in 1246, no one would bat an eye it would just be another typical European war, the thing that made it a fear war was the technical advancement on hand that shot up casualties, politically however, it was a standard European war, 2 powers go to war and so they call their various allies to help, that’s it
