Not to keep bringing it up, but reading up on the conflict has given so much meaning to this song. The black and tans and auxiliaries are not just cops, or abusive authorities, they acted as fucking terrorists. Drunkenly burning entire towns for unrelated shit, finding random priests telling them to denounce the pope or they'll kill them then shooting them in the head anyways, burning corpses of civilians throwing them into their homes after beating them to death in front of their families, just random humiliation and downright sadistic actions. I never wanted to overplay the plight cause that's a thing Irih-americans do annoyingly, but in actual Ireland the treatment is no less horrible that the abuses of colonialism elsewhere at that time. Not just indulgences or authoritarian actions, but actual sadistic killings and acts that seem like they did them just to harm random people as much as they could for fun The Black and Tans are not pigs, cause pigs don't often have the time or dedication to put in the amount of work the Tans did into their torture. Real drives home "show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders", I normally am super sympathetic to WWI vets, but these guys challenge that big time
Oh man that's just scratching the surface dude, check out MI-5's ties to protestant terror squads and massacre specialists like Billy Wright during the cold war
But then Dublin-town was freed, And there's no Tans to be seen, Though out on Yankee shores, they walk all over us And every single night, when I come home tight, We're all reminded that the Black and Tans have never left us.
Ironically, the Irish run many of the PDs in the US. NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea is no Englishman. The Irish hated the African-American community because they competed for jobs, benefits, etc.
@@roentgen226 , I feel 0,01% Irish after this song too, but also I feel 0,001% French after Verdun On ne passe pas and 0,1% Finnish after Säkkijärven polkka.
For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it fame For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it fame For what flowed Irelands blood in rivers, That began when Brian chased the Dane, And did not cease nor has not ceased, With the brave sons of '16, For what died the sons of Róisín, was it fame For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it greed For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it greed Was it greed that drove Wolfe Tone to a paupers death in a cell of cold wet stone? Will German, French or Dutch inscribe the epitaph of Emmet? When we have sold enough of Ireland to be but strangers in it. For What Died the Sons of Róisín, was it greed To whom do we owe our allegiance today To whom do we owe our allegiance today To those brave men who fought and died that Róisín live again with pride? Her sons at home to work and sing, Her youth to dance and make her valleys ring, Or the faceless men who for Mark and Dollar, Betray her to the highest bidder, To whom do we owe our allegiance today For what suffer our patriots today For what suffer our patriots today They have a language problem, so they say, How to write "No Trespass" must grieve their heart full sore, We got rid of one strange language now we are faced with many, many more, For what suffer our patriots today -Luke Kelly
Hi, great job once again ! Is it possible for you to add subtitles on english songs too? I know you do it for songs in other languages and for someone whose mother thongue is not english, it would be really helpfull to understand the meaning. Anyway, keep it up, you're awesome!
I probably should have been doing this already... only reason I haven't is because I'm kinda lazy lol and it takes some time and makes my CPU unhappy. I'll try to do it from now on though
I was born in a New York street Where though blue boys do beat And the lovely tyrant feet they walked all over us And every single night When my dad would come home tight He invite the neighbors outside with the chorus
I kind of feel like with a minor rewrite this could be made into a song about US police. That'd be a treat to hear sung at them, with an complimentary barrage of molotovs of course. XD
There is this new version, which would be amazing if put to music: www.reddit.com/r/COMPLETEANARCHY/comments/igmv3r/got_bored_rewrote_an_ira_song_to_be_slightly_more/
@Scott History If you call 200 years of repression by them and more people being murdered in two years by the police than by mass shootings since 1921 one event, then yes
@Scott History Not one, a great many. Even leaving aside their role as enforcers for a needlessly cruel and oppressive system, the institution frequently fails to respond to simple calls for aid without it resulting in the death of some innocent or another.
I was born on a Dublin street where the royal drums do beat And the loving English feet they tramped all over us And each and every night when my father'd come home tight He'd invite the neighbors outside with this chorus: Chorus: O come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes in Killeshandra*. Come let us hear you tell how you saved the great Parnell When you thought him well and truly persecuted Where are the sneers and jeers that you bravely let us hear When our heroes of '16 were executed. Come tell us how you slew them poor arabs two by two Like the Zulu they had spears and bows and arrows How you bravely faced each one with your 16 pounder gun Till you frightened them poor natives to their marrow. Chorus: Well the time is coming fast and will surely come at last When each yeoman will be cut aside before us And if there'd be a need, sure my kids would sing Godspeed To a verse or two of "Stephen Beehann's Chorus".
Since you don’t have sheets for the piano music you make, maybe you could record what you play on a music software and make that into sheet music or a midi file.
Unfortunately the audio file that records is an mp3... and I don't think they convert to MIDI very well. I'm sure there's probably a way I could get the thing to pump out a MIDI instead but, idk, I'd probably have to record everything twice
Up the Green and Black and the Red whole world over, from Starry Plow to Black Fist, smash every prison and cop from Dublin to Santiago from Kansas City to Hong Kong! ¡Viva La Revolucion Anticolonista! Tiocfadh ár lá!

@@unclesam5230 ah yes a quote from a mass murderer responsible for 10 milion deaths, who is listed as no 9. On the genocide 20th century list. Oink oink fascist pig nice role model you have.
backstory: It is 1916 and the britjsh government has formed the Black and tan regiment to police the streets of Ireland. That got disbanded after the british public and the Irish public didn't want this because they burned down Cork City and killed any fire fighters who put the fires out. The IRB( Irish Republic brotherhood) Were originally freedom fighters, untill the 1960s where Northern ireland was still a british state. The I.R.B turned into the I.R.A(Irish Republican Army) The troubles started In the 1960s up untill 1998. The ira was in conflict with the UDA (Ulster defence army) The fighting decimated the streets of Northern ireland and the local police forces called the british army to control the situation. The I.R.A and the britjsh army fought each other because the I.R.A Thought the british army was secretly killing civilians(True in some instances but all were convicted of crimes against british law) The Irish defence force and the Irish government said that Northern Ireland should stay in british hands and if they unified ireland then it would be too much for the Irish government to fund and clean up. Northern Ireland voted to stay in the UK after realising that the uk was richer and wasn't a tax haven as ireland was. But hopefully the people of Northern Ireland come together and agree that fighting wont resolve the issue.
