Brilliant version, my Irish great grandad met my great grandmother whilst he was fighting in the Spanish civil war🍀

Honour to you 🫡✊️✊️✊️

gran-ma was quite the badass!

[@davidavezzie4029]

I have learned more about history by listening to your music then looking up what your singing about than I did in 14 years of school. Keep up the good work!

[@sethstatonwatkins]

Glad to be of service!

tell you what youve hit this nail right on the head, ive got the same opinion

[@user-ch5qd3uz3l]

now ask yourself why you're only learning about this history now

No Passaran! I love seeing recognition of the Spanish Civil War, and I’d love to see a rendition of ‘The Valley of Jarama’ by Woodie Guthrie if you can find the time.

[@Alexlalpaca]

I find the comments that feel the need to establish the writer's nationality generally quite corny but if there was ever a time to say "thank you and greetings from Spain" it is no doubt this one. My utmost respect to the folks who came to fight and die in a war that was not their own because they knew it was the right thing to do, too. I know I would not be capable of doing the same. Let us remember them indeed. Maybe I should take a walk to the memorial in my town's cemetery today. Lastly, remember: No matter where you are or where you come from, the fight against fascism never ended, and it doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon.

Hey bud your favorite fan here💚💚💚 I love this and you. This has quickly risen to the top of my all time favorites list(: I am so grateful for you and your work; this song in particular has been helping me so much through some really tough times. As I say, you are there for me in ways that no one can be… your voice is a comfort and your music a rare refuge for me. Here, I don’t have to worry about my life or my pain, and I go on another journey with you through another time for just a moment. What a gift to be here with you! I admire you… and I know you would be one of these brave heroes, as you aren’t afraid to do right in a world of wrong… I thank you for that. Your humanity and heart are so refreshing. You are a guiding light, and a much needed one on each dark day that comes to stay. You are doing so much more for me than you will ever know. Thank you💚💚💚

Another great song cover Seth, been loving all of them since you began, was wondering if you could do a cover of fenians of the rock as my great grandfather was a part oof the band of fenians depicted in the song, would mean so much to me and especially my dad.

Music videos are all well and good; but Seth doesn't need them to shine bright. In fact it would risk gilding the lily. It's not just the musical notes either; he really seems to care deeply about things that matter. I swear before all that's holy, if I were a few dozen decades younger, that boy would have to run like hell to get away from me. Too bad I don't have a daughter for him. :) BTW, Seth, I'd walk over hot coals if you'd only agree to cover my favorite Luke Kelly piece, The Night Visiting Song. (if you haven't already; if you have, I'll find it) That one can reduce grown men to tears.

It’s highly ironic that the Soviets straight murdered all the international brigade members they got their hands on after the war.

Don't like the Franco love I still see around, but a Communist victory would have been an unprecedented disaster for Spain. Not that that matters. This was a fun little song very well done.

[@svalk2009]

His dictatorship's use of forced labour, concentration camps and executions led to between 30,000 and 50,000 deaths. Combined with wartime killings, this brings the death toll of the White Terror to between 100,000 and 200,000. I think you’re a bit naive.
