When I posted the recent song “St. Helena” by Standing Before Kings I was reminded of this song as they both find great lessons in history and deserve to be listened to. One thing I didn’t remember about this song was the WICKED sax parts, which compete with the Sike Furs “Pretty in Pink” for best of the eighties. Thus I commend this to you. Listen and cry. Remember the embarassment of creative riches which washed over us in the Eighties. (Also, just as a reminder: 25 million citizens of the USSR died in the Second World War. In contrast, only 418,500 Americans died in the same war.)
It’s not now many Germans you kill that counts, it’s how many people you set free…
