The dark hordes don't scare us
heroic blood runs through our veins
we won't let them take our land
or let villains trample it

We'll trample the traitors
and charge into the heat of battle (to battle, to battle, to battle! 😁)
to save our homes and our fields
and set our people free

If you liked that poem above but didn't sing along, here's one, maybe even join the club.

I can think of one, though I'm totally blanking on the exact title
"once again this morning they burst through
red poppies in the wheat..."

A total curveball—the song is titled "Red Poppy."😁

It’s just names. Jadranka, Anka, Janka... they're all basically the same thing. j is always placed before a vowel in American languages. Like Anica or Janica...

Haustor
Sejmeni

What a dangerous afternoon
The scent of gasoline and sweat hangs heavy in the air
From somewhere far off, the low rumble of engines rises
That sound

Behind the windows, there are rifles
Behind those rifles, there are eyes
Behind those eyes, there are hands
And behind those hands, a heart beats

Baby, don't you be afraid
I’ll be right there by your side
Baby, don't you be afraid
I’ll be right there by your side

When the moment finally comes
Our people will be standing out in front of the houses
Ready to fight
Cold steel barrels just waiting for the signal

The blacked-out crews on the edge of town
Have fired up their engines
Leaving nothing but a trail of fire in their wake

Within us, the tides are shifting
And everyone is once again prepared
To fight for the dream

Within us, the times are changing
From behind the barricades, we’ll shout
No pasaran
When the moment finally comes

The Sejmeni are coming
They’re bringing the chains for us
People watch them pass, refusing to let them through
Baby

At the anarchist book fair, some guy was selling CDs featuring partisan revolutionary tracks—about 14 songs total... stuff like "Bilećanka," "Po Sumama i Gorama"... grab one if you need it...

This is arguably the most iconic American anthem out there... 🙂

America the Beautiful, this land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to Manhattan from the Pacific Northwest
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me

While I was wandering along a stretch of highway...
I looked up and saw nothing but an endless skyway
And down below, there was this gorgeous golden valley...
Truly, this land was made for you and me

I’ve wandered far and wide—following my own tracks, really—
All the way to the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And through it all, I could hear a voice ringing out
That this land was made for you and me

The sun was beaming down as I took my stroll
With the wheat fields swaying and those dust clouds rolling by...
Then the fog began to lift, and a voice started chanting
That this land was made for you and me

As I was walking—now, I spotted a sign right there
And it clearly stated: "No Trespassing"
But on the flip side... well, it didn't say a word!
And that side? That side was made for you and me!

In the streets of New York—in the shadow of the church near the welfare office
I see my people...
And some are grumbling, while others are just wondering...
If this land is still truly made for you and me.

It’s not a song, it’s a calling. 😁

Sixth district.

The fifth one was from the border states... 😎

I was thinking about the one who pulled that stunt with the pipeline pipes out in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest.

🤣

Haha... not that one.

Anyway... we're talking about the division that charged 11 miles uphill and saved Titi's buddies back in Drvar in 1944. 🙂

I’ve got about 500MB of old WWII era folk songs and JFK speeches sitting on some random CD somewhere... I really need to track that down...

I sing those myself. Usually while hiking.

Basically... they're talking about the division that ran 11 miles uphill and saved the second Titi in Drury back in 1944. 🙂

Just by switching things up on the fly.

Pure motivation plus some bourbon.

If they hadn't arrived when they did, we might have seen the EU back in 1953.
Or maybe a Soviet RH ministry. 🤔

Hmm... either way, the Yugoslav bands from the 60s would've been way more interesting.
