Yes, but it's Country and Western... and, as someone once said, that's just music for fascists who don't like Wagner!
Putting aside what 'whiteflyer..Mark has said....Yes..of course you're right. I sent the clips to a friend later and put capitals and should have come back here and changed it because that 'little voice' reminded me but I'd had enough on the computer for one night and thought I'd get away with it....a bit optimistic, really...
Strange that someone should see it as fascist music. Take the point re Wagner. As you obviously know he was a virulent anti-semite and was his second wife Cosima (daughter of Hungarian pianist Franz Liszt) who held the same views about German culture and superiority. His music is banned in Israel . He wrote this of Mendelssohn, who was Jewish.
"Mendelssohn has shown us that a Jew can have the richest abundance of talents and be a man of the broadest culture but still be incapable of supplying the profound, heart-seizing, soul-searching experience we expect from art."
He wrote an article called. 'Das Judenthum in der Musik" ..'Jewishness in Music' but normally translated as 'Judaism in Music' under the pseudonym of K Freidedank.( Free thought). He sent it to Liszt who declared himself not to be anti-semetic. The irony being that a 19th century song became popular amongst Jews in Germany during the Nazi years ..'Die Gedanken sind frei'.
The (my) thoughts are free. So..basically, whatever the Nazis were doing to them their thoughts remained intact. The song was important to certain anti-Nazi resistance movements in Germany. It was also sung in the film 'The Birdman' which, as you'll know, was about the fictionalised escape using a cobbled-together plane, from Colditz..the Allied airman sang it. In 1942, Sophie Scholl, a member of the
White Rose resistance group, played the song on her flute outside the walls of Ulm prison, where her father Robert had been imprisoned for calling the Hitler a “scourge of God”. In 1935, the guards at the Lichentburg
concentration camp had ordered prisoners to stage some kind of performance in celebration of Hitler’s 46th birthday. Hans Litten, a Jewish lawyer and anti-Nazi who was incarcerated there, recited 'Die Gedanken sind frei' in response. I recently read about Hans Litten. He questioned Hitler in court over the Nazi Party asking awkward questions. Hitler never forgave him. He was a truly brave man who, in the end, committed suicide as he could no longer take the brutal beatings administered to him in Nazi camps. A sad read.
