Piano/Vocals: Tear the Fascists Down - Woody Guthrie

[@pyrpoi]

This channel kills fascists.

[@icel8828]

Music, and art in general, is a fascists worst fear

[@loganmansiongames]

​@@icel8828Is that why a lot of fascists are mostly failed artists of some sorts like Adolf Hitler? But in all seriousness I can see what you mean when you say that because it's true.

[@whatifiputsomethingsilly]

After the censored version of Woodie's song This Land Is Your Land being played at the inauguration rather than the uncensored version, this was a nice treat.

[@engleberteverything421]

Censored?

[@whatifiputsomethingsilly]

@@engleberteverything421 The original version of it had lines against private property.

[@kenmao5926]

@@whatifiputsomethingsilly Well, you get why they did it. Republicans would probably call Biden a radical leftist communist jewish anti-american anarchist, or something like that

Always my favourite woody Guthrie song. Now it's my favourite Monsieur Jack song as well.

[@justinkautz7733]

I think his version is better than the original Woody Guthrie one tbh.

[@supermichelangelo5763]

@@justinkautz7733 dat Internationale at the end tho

[@goddessoflesbians1153]

@@justinkautz7733 Yeah this version is honestly better but I still love the Origanal

[@supermichelangelo5763]

It was already an A, sneaking the Internationale in at the end made it A+

[@Youraverageangloirishman]

Yeah

[@christianlocascio178]

Thank you for singing Woody Guthrie's music. His life story and music are how I became class conscious. His piece, "This Land Is Your Land", should well be this country's national anthem. With ALL the verses included.

[@supermichelangelo5763]

in the Kaiserreich mod for Hoi4, if the Socialists win the 2nd American Civil War it's one of the options for the new American anthem :)

[@jimjomarl2520]

Great song and great playing! Always love hearing that Internationale too :)

[@EriksGarbage]

You, sir, are incredibly talented.

[@Mrthirtyseven]

Monsieur Jack, do you mind if I use some of your piano music as intro music for some of our union's zoom events? We're the United Campus Workers Colorado.

[@MonsieurJack95]

Go for it!

[@ddhmarcus2968]

yeyy, we got another one! wonderful mate!

[@kenanoktaytenor]

Great timing

[@WasThisMail]

Classic and my fav Guthrie song

[@2Links]

God this is one of your best covers

[@jessimmersimqueen]

Nice vocals! Russia helped us take the faciests down then but not now. 😢

[@astramouseeverywhere6923]

I’ve been listening to this one often on spotify the past few weeks, so seeing that you’ve covered it I’m stoked!

[@bshbhyuh]

Best socialist music content creator on a site full of them. If I want to hear a quality cover of a song, it’s nice to just be able to come here rather than search for an hour

[@midwes8192]

Wonderful as always

[@joaovitorantunes354]

I don't know if you speak portuguese but, if possible, please cover "Pra não dizer que não falei das flores" by Geraldo Vandré I love your work, you are amazing!!

[@jacobcarden814]

Wonderful rendition!

[@AT-ng9ju]

Love it. Would you do ‘Miss Pavlichenko’ sometime? Probably my favorite Woody tune.

Great playing :) Thank you

"Ya know, I'm beginnin' to think there's somethin' hinky about that Hitler feller..."

[@gianmarcomaioli]

I've heard you singing with an incredibly good pronunciation in English, Spanish and Italian. So... Where are you from? I'm a new sub, so forgive me if I'm not aware of your origin. Btw outstanding job! Well done.

[@MonsieurJack95]

New York, ty!

[@thecowboycat3203]

Can you do "This Land is Your Land" by again, Woody Guthrie?

[@loadeddice4696]

I always thought it was "The Russians fight on across the dawn", as in like, through time zones it's already the next in Russia

[@pyrpoi]

But youtube subtitles it "across the Don" like they are marching across some mafia boss. As for me, I want them to march across Dan, that guy's kind of a jerk.

[@samuelthompson3327]

Its talking about the Don River.

[@sr.torrada1142]

could you do "Para não dizer que não falei das flores" by Geraldo vandre? it was sung by the resistance in protests against the brazilian dictatorship

[@joaovitorantunes354]

Please, @Monsieur Jack, i love this song and it is a very important leftist song in Brazil

[@JohnnyJ223]

Baseddd

[@MusicandGamesandStuf]

Hey you do a good job, I wonder if you could do an instrumental cover of the Song about Shchors (Песня о Щорсе). I've been looking for an adequate one and I can't find any. You did Let's Go (В путь) very well. Thanks anyways!

[@sithofdarkness8927]

I feel like asking you to do x song is too much, but I wonder if you'd consider do some more Dustbowl songs Guthrie did.

[@walter4838]

where do you get these notes?

[@pyrpoi]

Plays and writes all the songs by ear. In the description.

[@randomvideoproducer]

Gotta say I'm slightly disappointed that the lyric is "While the Russians fight on across the Don" (as in the river) not for anything involving Russians per se but that I had misheard it as "While the Russians fight on across the Dawn" as if Mr. Guthrie were standing on the aforementioned 'mountain in the middle of the sky' and seeing as the sun rose the Red Army all across the horizon resisting the German invasion I dunno I think that's a much cooler image

[@williambrennan104]

There's a great and a bloody fight around all the wastes tonight And the battle, the blades and bullets reign Caesar told the wastes around he would tear our union down But our union's gonna break them slavery chains Our union's gonna break them slavery chains I walked up on a mountain in the midst of the Divide Could see every farm and every town I could see all the people in this whole NCR That's the union that'll tear the Legion down, down, down That's the union that'll tear the Legion down When I think of the rangers and troops going down While Novac still defends their town There's Nipton in ruins and Two Sun in chains Good people, what are we waiting on? Good people, what are we waiting on? So, I thank our Ranger ghouls and our Gun Runner fightin' tools The free tribes the whole wide wastes around Tell the battling Vegas droids, you can have ten thousand boys If it takes 'em to tear the Legion down, down, down If it takes 'em to tear the Legion down When I think of the rangers and troops going down While Novac still defends their town There's Nipton in ruins and Two Sun in chains Good people, what are we waiting on? Good people, what are we waiting on? So, I thank our Ranger ghouls and our Gun Runner fightin' tools The free tribes the whole wide wastes around Tell the battling Vegas droids, you can have ten thousand boys If it takes 'em to tear the Legion down, down, down If it takes 'em to tear the Legion down

[@distinct_mods1318]

Could you play “Dear Stalin” - Armenian Soviet Version?

[@k4four615]

aw shucks, not first.

[@АнатолийЗолотухин-н6м]

Good day. Greetings from Russia. You voice and piano skill are great. Thanks for all things you doing. Would you like to sing very beautiful italian song "Quando l'anarchia verrà"? It's will be great. Thank you.

[@NicklasZandeVGCP2001]

Listening to this after hearing that Carrie Underwood turns out to support Fascism.

[@flamingeskimo1136]

I way be anti-communist, but I'll be damned if I'll let the fascists secure the powers of state. Also when I heard this song sung before I'm 90% sure the line was "the might Chinese reds" no?

[@pyrpoi]

I'm not sure where you heard the song before. My records have it as a Woody Guthrie song. I believe the lyrics sung here are the same as Woody's original lyrics. The only line about the Chinese being "I thank the Soviets and the mighty Chinese Vets" This is more consistent in terms of both rhyme and lyrical theme, as it then goes to "allies the whole wide world around" Thus, the Chinese vets rhyme and are also in a list of peoples that are fighting. It would be a bit strange to list only "the chinese reds" as that would imply that he's not thankful to the rest of the Chinese. It would also be strange because it would be a little anachronistic. I don't have the exact date of the recording, but I believe it was 1944. The PRC didn't form until 1954. I don't know of many sources from 1945 or before that refers to "red china" and the like. But I could be wrong.

Hearing you do "Auferstanden Aus Ruinen" one day would be amazing
