I submit to you, ladies and gentlemen, that anyone playing this song with an electric guitar is committing a crime against humanity and should be prosecuted therefore... Some music simply MUST be acoustic. That's fine... some music simply MUST be electric. 'Du Hast' would sound ridiculous at an open mic poetry slam with one guy on guitar and another guy on out of tune bongos. [Although full and respectful props to the Serbian acapella choir who knocked 'Du Hast' completely out of the park with just the human voice]
This beautiful song is about freedom. It specifically has nothing to do with Mexico but more to do with despotism under the Fascist Francisco Franco in Spain. Oddly, it is about gun control that Franco implemented before the slaughter of the innocents during his bloody rule. Those who opposed fascist rule smuggled guns across the border. Perpetually, enemies of free peoples, limit gun ownership to their brutal armies and their political allies. Gun control is people control. The right of free people to keep and bear arms shall not be denied.
Ugh... acoustic bass; worse stringed instrument ever made. I has no sound at all and must be electrified, in which case why not a double or electric base?
No se los años que puedan haber pasado pero siempre me ha emocionado este tema y es que la música es capaz de destrozar cualquier frontera. Si nosotros pudiéramos hacer lo mismo seríamos libres pero los gobiernos insisten en mantenerlas para impedirnolo
LEARN more history! LIBERALS are on the verge of repeating history! A history that has failed time and time again. Save the United States of America. Vote for Donald Trump!
As much as I love Year of the Cat, I might like this more, that guitar is so cool in this. I do miss the strings in this version as the added a bit of ann ominous feel to it. Still amazing though
My first time when i ear this song, it's in Algeria for my army service, two years, in 1984...This is a guy like me from Paris , comming for the army... .At this time, no cd, juste K7..what's a beautiful years...And there is 4 months maby , one of his family , say me that my friend is dead. ..Now when i listen on the border, i remember my brother. ..Excuses me for my english and hello from Paris ...thank's
He sang the 2nd verse twice! And omitted the 3rd! "...Late last night the rain was knocking on my window/ I moved across the darkened room and in the lampglow/ I thought I saw down in the street/ The Spirit of the Century telling us that we're all standing On the Border..." 🤔

That guy is good but he aint Peter White.
