halloooo • this is a little cover of the german folk song 'Die Grenzwacht hielt im Osten'! i did a cover of just one verse on youtube shorts nearly a year ago now, and quite a few people seemed to enjoy it, so i thought i'd do a full cover :) please let me know if you liked it!! • as beautiful and tragic as this song is, it is also a product of its time and a product of german freikorps warfare in eastern europe and the baltics. it expresses, as well as the tragedy of war and loss, the feeling of german ownership of the baltic and eastern european regions, and these latter sentiments later became entrenched in nazi ideology, with which many of the freikorps fighters were later involved. all of this is to say: i share this song for its beautiful misery, for its reflection on the war and devastation that individual soldiers faced, but i do not share this song to in any way support the political narratives with which it was once associated, nor with modern political narratives which may use this song to represent themselves. • all in all, i thank you for listening, but i do not welcome any who sympathise with the colonial and racist ideologies which many use this song to uphold. so if those are your beliefs, i kindly ask you to reflect on them and how they are useful to you and the world, and if the beliefs then remain unchanged, i also ask you to take them elsewhere. • i hope you understand my meaning! wishing only love :) • • Links: • https://linktr.ee/abigailalma • Pre-Save my new EP!: • http://li.sten.to/eternalmind • • die grenzwacht hielt im osten,german folk song,folk song,volkslied,volksmusik,volksmusik deutschland,war music,world war 1,eastern front ww1,die grenzwacht hielt im osten slowed,die grenzwacht hielt im osten guitar,die grenzwacht hielt im osten guitar tutorial,die grenzwacht hielt im osten guitar tabs,german folk songs,german folk songs most popular,german folk songs ww1,eastern front song,german eastern front song,germany folk song
