#daniel kahn and the painted bird

[battlesluts]

You don't have to rally 'round a flag

You may as well salute a dirty rag

And this isn't a defense of evil deeds,

It's just a little song about our needs.

Our need to feel enlightened and secure

And civilized and rational and pure

To feel we are decent good and nice

Just as long as the butcher gets his price.

Things said about Daniel Kahn and the Painted Bird: They make really great Klezmer music and covers of old Yiddish songs, and were my first introduction into what is now one of my favourite genres :)

Listen to one of their songs here: https://youtu.be/3bX9_q-_u3c

Falling into internet rabbit holes often lead to extremely different places from where you start.

I started my day listening to a two part podcast about Nakam. They mentioned a song by a klezmer band called Daniel Kahn and the Painted Bird. That led me to Wikipedia which told me Daniel Kahn does a cover of Hallelujah in Yiddish. I listen to it (and of course ball my eyes out like I always do with any version of hallelujah). The English translation of the Yiddish translation was included on the video and the last verse really resonated with me.

And that’s all, it’s not a lot. In the meantime, I’ll do what I do. I come here like a mensch, not a scoundrel. Though all is lost anyway, I will praise Adonai, and cry like “L’chaim”: Hallelujah.

I (like many others) will latch on to lyrics and give them a personal twist. I’m don’t think Leonard Cohen meant “ I’m trying my best and even thought everything around me seems fucked I’m going to praise anyway because it won’t be fucked forever” that is how my heart understood it.

Then I remembered the Kate McKinnon (as Hilary Clinton) cold open after the 2016 election when she sang Hallelujah. I watch it again and remember when I first watched it in 2016. I remember sobbing then. Like full on ugly sobbing. I was so sad and scared and heartbroken and mad that 45 had been elected. It’s been sevenish years since, but every time I watch it (including today) I cry.

YouTube then suggested the SNL skit where Alec Baldwin as Trump sang it. It was the first time I laughed while hearing the song.

I did not expect to go from a podcast about Nakam to an SNL kit but rabbit holes be weird some times.

Another post about music: when is spotify going to add klezmer as a genre? Daniel Kahn and the Painted Bird’s “more you might like” section has celtic punk and italian folk. I mean sure i might like that but maybe you should work on your algorithm

People don't talk about Inner Emigration enough. Honestly one of Daniel Khan's best songs and it really resonates with me in terms of being a closeted aroace to most of my family.

Compare yourself, what does all this have to do with you? How does your experience ring true?

You're where, yourself, you aren't suffering anyone's regime You're free to follow every little dream

Be fair to yourself, you needn't be oppressed to feel alone You don't have to be driven from your home

To spare yourself, from feeling like a part of the control With an internal diplomatic role

SO MAKE A KIND OF INNER EMIGRATION | IT'S A KIND OF SHIFT ACCOMPLISHED EASILY

WE ALL HAVE MADE OUR DISASSOCIATIONS | WHETHER ON THE JOB OR IN OUR FAMILY

AND WHAT COULD BE MORE IRRELEVANT THAN NATIONS | WHEN EVERYWHERE YOU GO, IT'S BUY OR SELL

BUT IF WE ALL MAKE INNER EMIGRATIONS...

THEN EVERYTHING WILL ONLY GO TO HELL.

Some people say that all Shayfer James songs are villain songs but I personally disagree. For example, Good Life is about the dark reality of the American Dream and commercialism. I don't see anything "villainy" about that.

Goodness, I love songs about social problems that don't straight up tell you "[Issue] bad" but instead tell you in such a poetic way.

Another example of such a great song is Freedom Is a Verb by Daniel Kahn & the Painted Bird.

When it all comes down to dust/ I'll help you if I can / I'll kill you if I must / when it all comes down to dust / I'll help you if I must / I'll kill you if I can / have mercy on our uniforms / man of peace or man of war / the peacock spreads his fan - Story of Issac, Daniel Kahn and the Painted Bird

Wailing, wailing winds of evil, play upon the land. Fell the trees and break the branches by your raging hand. Roust the birds from quiet meadows, let them seek to fly. If a wing is weak or broken, crush them as they try. Rend the doors off all the hinges, shatter every pane. If in darkness shines a flicker, kill the fucking flame. Wailing, wailing winds of evil, while your time is nigh, Long will winter keep the light of summer from the sky.

REPOST & LIST 6 SONGS THAT INSPIRE YOU TO WRITE YOUR MUSE .

This got long because I did some for each.

Cut.

The Killing Moon (All Night Version) - Echo & The Bunnymen (aka Marc's canonical ringtone).

Under blue moon, I saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms, too late to beg you Or cancel it, though I know it must be The killing time Unwillingly mine

V - Cyberpunk 2077, Marcin Przybyłowicz

Sheyn vi di levone - Gevolt

You are as beautiful a the moon, you are as bright as the stars, you have been sent to me from the heavens, you are a gift from above. I found my happiness when I saw you. You made my heart happy - you are as beautiful as a thousand suns.

Norra El Norra (Entering The Ark) - Orphaned Land

Nora El Nora, the lord of courage Return to me my lord, mend my wounds My soul is yearning, and in valor we wait Nora I sing to thee, hymn of praise To you I give my life and faith Through all time, mighty Nora Deliver us the progany of Abraham Offspring of greatness You are the living God Giver of Torah

Dead Don't Die - Shinedown

The dead don't die, the heart still beats Head held high, I haunt these streets Life's killed me a hundred thousand times You can try, you can try, but the dead don't die

Not Changing Pops, Seeking - Nightlab

I'm not changing pops, I'm seeking And I hear what you're preaching But this drowsy inanition can't stay I am screaming out this seance While a spectral love is playing with the lights It just ain't right

Everybody Knows - Leonard Cohen

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That's how it goes Everybody knows

Hymn For The Weekend - Coldplay

Oh, angel sent from up above You know you make my world light up When I was down, when I was hurt You came to lift me up Life is a drink and love's a drug Oh, now I think I must be miles up When I was a river dried up You came to rain a flood

Main Theme From Goncharov - Jordan Dean

My Love - Florence & The Machine

There is nothing to describe Except the moon still bright against the worrying sky I pray the trees will get their leaves soon So tell me where to put my love Do I wait for time to do what it does? I don't know where to put my love

Inner Emigration - Daniel Kahn, Painted Bird (there is a reason why I chose a very Jewish song without any Yiddish nor Hebrew for Mr. Grant)

So make a kind of inner emigration It's a kind of shift accomplished easily We all have made our disassociations Whether on the job or in our family And what could be more irrelevant than nations When everywhere you go, it's buy or sell? But if we all make only inner emigrations Then everything will only go to hell

11:11 - Ben Barnes

I wish for you to be happy I wish for you to be free I wish for you to be fearless That's wishes one, two, and three And I won't wish to be yours or for you to be mine But I'll wish them all for you every time

Dance the Night - Dua Lipa (while themes could be Grant, this wound up becoming a driving song. per the Wall Street/Main Street Treaty of 20XX, it's a Jake song)

Watch me dance, dance the night away My hеart could be burnin', but you won't see it on my face Watch me dancе, dance the night away (Uh-huh) I'll still keep the party runnin', not one hair out of place

March of the Jobless Corps - Daniel Kahn, Painted Bird (Jake speaks Yiddish. Jake is a union man TM. While I see and write Jake as the most observant of the system, he also loved stories of those Jewish secular socialists. Kahn and the Painted Bird represent Jake versus Grant's CEO materialism and Marc's violence.)

Well one, two, three, four Join the Marching Jobless Corps No work in the factories No more manufacturing All the tools are broke and rusted Every wheel and window busted Through the city streets we go Idle as a CEO Idle as a CEO

[Honestly, I listen to a lot of Daniel Kahn when I write Jake so just take a look at his albums and you'll get an idea]
