- "The Day It Fell Apart" is a really fun song by Leslie Fish from a ways back that I've enjoyed for a long time. The song was chosen by the Patreons for last month's song and due to delays got pushed back. But here it is now! I hope you enjoy!
Lyrics:
Just a little general hospital, in a little factory town.
The board put me in charge for mainly keeping prices down.
I hadn't touched a patient since 1982,
But the day of the explosion I remembered what to do.
At eleven in the morning, we all heard the factory blow.
The blast took out the windows, and the shrapnel fell like snow.
We could get no help from out of town for half a day or more.
We had near a thousand casualties and beds for ninety-four.
And can you keep your head, your backbone, or your heart?
We all found out the answer on the day it fell apart.
It was worse than combat medicine; supplies were draining fast.
Bandages ran out and antiseptics wouldn't last.
I took all the able-bodied I could catch inside the door
And made them help the doctors to go scrounge supplies and more.
I invented laws to tell them saying in such emergency
Forget your usual job and boss, your orders come from me.
I sent the cops to commandeer anything in reach:
Food or disinfectant cloth or alcohol or bleach.
And can you keep your head, your backbone, or your heart?
We all found out the answer on the day it fell apart.
The janitor ran cleanup squad, the cook maintained supplies,
The garbageman removed the ones who died before our eyes.
The clerks burned all our papers to boil water on the fire
For sterilizing instruments, as the body count went higher.
A local healthfoods herbalist brought everything he had.
The painkillers were useful, and the poultices weren't bad.
A smack and cocaine pusher handed us his whole supply.
The quality was lousy, but a few more didn't die.
And can you keep your head, your backbone, or your heart?
We all found out the answer on the day it fell apart.
We did triage in the parking lot, ranked minor, major, grave.
A sad-eyed fireman gave the stroke to those we couldn't save.
Then sometime in the chaos, a director wandered in
To tell us we were breaking rules, what trouble we'd be in.
But if we'd swear the factory was not the fire's cause,
And the harm was accidental, he'd forget the broken laws.
The staff sneaked up and grabbed him, and tied him to a door.
He gave them blood transfusions 'till he hadn't any more.
And can you keep your head, your backbone, or your heart?
We all found out the answer on the day it fell apart.
When that day was over, and we'd saved all that we could,
We saw that law and politics would hang us where we stood.
We'd saved eight hundred lives but shattered all authority.
I told them, "People, save yourselves, put all the blame on me."
I took my books and instruments, and a few supplies beside,
Packed my car and ran away to open countryside.
So now I live an outlaw, condemned by righteous men,
But for all the lives I saved that day...
I'd do it all again.
And can you keep your head, your backbone, or your heart?
We all found out the answer on the day it fell apart.
Can you keep your head, your backbone, or your heart?
You'll all found out the answer on the day it falls apart.

Sorry all for the delays, this was supposed to be last month's song, but between burnout and getting sick, I missed my intended release date. This song was chosen by the Patreons for last month's song and the Patreons will be choosing *next* month's song as well! This song has been a lot of fun to record and make (delay's asides), and is the first song posted with a new guitar (that I finally got) Hopefully the guitar sounds a bit better than in earlier songs. For those of you who've been considering Patreon, or are otherwise interested, This song released just over a month ago as an early audio release for Patreons only. There will be another early Patreon release for this month as well, so feel free to support me on Patreon!

Thank you for watching and I hope you've enjoyed!
Do you have just a direct tip place? I’d like to be able to just toss you a couple tree bucks occasionally on re listens.
@@notrichardjustfrank5167 At the moment all I have money-wise is Patreon, but I also haven't really looked into anything else in particular, sorry 😅
@@wendigopsychosis I don't believe it's referencing a specific event, moreso just the chaos of a war-like situation or a shtf situation
You should be more sory about what you did to the song. Guitar is fine btw and your voice to but the song tells a story ffs just because you got a voice and a guitar doesnt mean you ahve to earn money while ruining this work.
Dont just publish any shit to please people this is not even close to what it should be.
You wait with the song to keep up with the guitar, no matter how I look at this it's not good.
If this is what you do for work you should reconsider your decision.
Do this for a hobby, then its fine but it needs improvement in many ways.
good song tho.
Such a courageous and generous Director. Willing to save dozens for his own life. So the story goes.
The way the song ends reminds me of a time when my father and his good friend volunteered in search of a rescue.
Both of them were expert mountaneers, and one day, there was a case that a man had injured himself on a ledge about 50 ft up a cliff.
Now the regulations mandate that rescue crew must go in from above the rescuee, but that rock face went up another 1000 feet and they qould have never made it to him.
They ignored regulation and orders from the organizer and quickly scaled the face up to him and lowerd them down. And for that the were promptly dismissed.
Two highly competent men lost for the sake of beuracracy.
I mean, it's less bureaucracy and more protecting the rescuers.
@river6634 Sure, but that regulation makes a timely rescue in certain circumstances completely impossible.
Moreover, the over 2000 feet of vertical that would have been scaled in the dark would have posed far more risk to all involved.
These regulations were made by bureaucrats who sit at desks, not the expert mountaneers that they mandated were fired.
@@river6634 bahumbug
@@river6634 more protecting them from liability probably.
As an old paramedic, I can well imagine everything described. There were a few of those kind of days.
No quip about the bureaucrat's blood type?
That was the most fun part.
I have listened to this song for over 3 years now and I still get a good laugh at that part. On the live version, the singer, Leslie fish, adds in the line "ah, you're a type O-, wonderful" in the best voice you can imaging for this song.
I thought about it, went back and forth, and decided to keep it as a live-performance thing last minute 😅
I like how when you make your mirror of a song, you usually add to it. Leslie makes that a difficult task. Well done.
I was not expecting a cover of this particular song. Thank you.
I’ve never heard much of Leslie fishes songs, I’m so glad you do these covers as it lets me discover such amazing artists that I never knew about before. But I will say I like your version better.
Eh,
@@RainedOnParade what an amazing comment you’ve made that has added so much to what I said.
@@generalolivervonbismarck393 hey cmon don't mock him, man clearly got assassinated before he could elucidate
"Songs from the Third World War" was a fun album.
@@comradewindowsill4253 hahahahaha
Nah the original was better lol.
So happy to see Filk still alive!
Always here for Leslie Fish tunes!
I must say that I usually prefer music performed by the original artist. But you have surpassed my expectations. I feel guilty when I enjoy your performance over my favorite artist. But, hey, I'll get over it. You're just too good for me to pass you by. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with us.

I intend to enroll on medical university soon. I rarely do, and not much can even make me sad, but I've shed a tear with this one.
What an absolute delight of a song.
Thanks for another great cover! Your channel particularly motivates me to record more songs.
This one took longer than expected, but it's finally done! ruclips.net/video/NrM0cMe5ul8/видео.html
I friggin love all your work. Binge listened for the past three months.
oh my god i've been waiting for a cover of this song and it's beautiful
Was literally just going through Leslie Fish's "Songs from the 3rd World War" yesterday! Perfect timing!
Edit: Hello, Remember Us? from the same album would be a perfect song for you to cover at some point
more leslie fish? absolutely. goated.
Damn Alderon please never stop always love listening to these.
Really liked this one! Something about standing in the face of horror and doing the best you can despite it
I honestly thought this was about some kind of factory explosion and was trying to research it.
What was it about
@@pitedapollo6175i thought
Chanobyl
been following you for a few weeks and I have to say you have to continue your work
i hope that from these filk songs you cover, a few more folks will discover the genre
Thank you for sharing this song. It has long been one of my favorites. I wonder...Am I the only one seeing this as a major block buster of a movie? I vaguely remember a 'made for tv' (I think) either during the end or after the end of the Viet Nam war. A couple of righteous doctors entered a VA hospital set in a major city near D.C. And they pretty much cleaned house. A similar theme to this song, but this one has so much more action and drama. Still. I don't watch hollywood any longer. Too repetitive, boring, and ... did I say repetitive? snicker. But, with the right Producer/Director, I'd pay to see it.Actually, Leslie Fish is such a wonderful story teller, I'd watch any movie based on her music.
I've heard it was inspired by the Bhopal disaster...of course, Hollywood would bowdlerize the anti-capitalist part.
Just as always, beautiful. Hats off to you.
Thank you for introducing me to leslie fish and filk songs. It is now my favorite subgenre.
o7
thank you for the amazing music as always
you're very talented 👍
Leslie fish is great, always happy to hear more of her songs!
I have always enjoyed this song. Not sure when I first heard it, most likely at least two decades ago…..
this was super good its always a good day when we get an upload!
Awesome story to the song. Definitely gotta go check out the original
More… More… MORE I need more of this
Beautiful
SPLENDID!
You are a very talented person. I had previously seen your video for "Don't tell mom im in uktraine" and it was beautiful, it would be nice if you did "Dushman" by kaskad one day
Another masterpiece
Uh, which fire is the song referring to? From my research, all the fires I found in the second half of the 20th century up to 1982 were either arson or had casualties that weren't nearly large enough.
It isn't about generic workers rights violations of the late 19th and early 20th centuries either, since the song specifically mentions 1982, which is when the song was made.
fairly sure it's entirely fictional as it originates from Leslie Fish's "Songs from the 3rd World War"
@@niracaldwell
I see
Yeah there is no real event that this is about. Doesn't make it any less badass.
Inspired by the Bhopal disaster (the deaths, the lack of supplies, corporate finding excuses why it wasn't their fault).
beautiful
Got a version of the Prayer of Miriam Cohen I've been trying to record, A swell as Tomlinson.. Which is to say, kindred spirit of sorts. Glad to have found the channel
Loooove this song
This is amazing! If you're looking for more filk songs/artists to cover you could do midnight at the well by Bill Sutton or, Man of war from the dorsai book series.
Very nice, this song is not often covered!
Lore of The Day It Fell Apart - Alderon Tyran momentum 100
Thanks for the upload, I have a lot of homework and this is going on the playlist. Makes my day better. Would you do a cover someday of jupiter by holst? I know you played it kinda in I vow to thee my country. I'd love a dedicated Jupiter though!
I know it’s a big ask, I’ve seen you pull them off before, could you please cover ‘Freiheitskorps’? It’s a German anti-war song with a traditional beat.
(I’ve watched this video ~+30 times, I think you have taken my heart)
Can you make tutorials too? I love your songs and I'd like to play them too.
In which year does this sci-fi scenario takes place and why ?
Jay, Maine 2020 vibes.
If you could only keep one video on your channel, what would it be?
If I could keep only 1? That's pretty hard, ironically because I'd narrow it down to those songs I've done featuring friends. Potentially, "Bella Ciao", since I feel Janissa and I did really well, and I've been told my Italian was actually coherent by a friend 😊
I thought about this song the other day. Though why did the doctor leave? He didn't do anything particularly wrong or illegal.
Then I remembered. It was the multiple homicides. Turns out, having a fireman euthanize patients you can't save is still very, VERY illegal.
Alderon. Would you ever be interested in doing a song from "the troubles" era in Ireland? :)
That was *kinda* the idea with "Black and Tans", but I'm considering "Man at the Daily Mail"
@alderontyran sweet I'll have to check that one out! Another good one is "join the British army" by the Irish Brigade! :)
Also, is this song a true story?
Is this not on spotify?? I'm trying to find other sources for this
That event is his song about ?
I'm a little unnerved by the line "A sad eyed fireman gave the stroke to those we couldn't save". Umm, what does that mean? I'm picturing a fireman with an fireman's axe beheading people in the parking lot..
That's what it means. If the damage is too bad to fix there's always another option.
Gives another dimension to the line "rated minor, major, *grave*".
@@adriancarroll5281a bullet
I think Firemen have defibrillator in their trucks and with that one can give a stroke to a normally acting heart.
@@grimmreaper3241 You are right, they do have defibrillators. I never heard of one emitting a "stroke", but I guess it's possible. I suppose that's better than the heads of the wounded rolling around the handicapped spots...
Hi, can you please give chords or tabs for this? Song is nice, want to learn it 😊
Can you do treceți, batalioane române, carpații next?
I think the echo effect was a mistake, it makes your version sound fake, like something produced to simulate the tonal quality of an early portable radio. I've heard other covers of yours, and I'm commenting only on this specific one.
99th coment? usally some get reoved anyways great video
i dont get what caused it ?!?!?!? pls help
Bad safety practices cheap corner cuts a load of things could have
Do you know if this is a true story? @@TruekingoftheLeinstermen
Original by Leslie Fish
Really need to do sam jones
the song literally has a story and lore wth
I just recently heard "This Land Is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie, if you ever do any more communist inspired songs, whether for the 2ACW or something else, that might be a good one to base stuff off of. Edit: Another good son to mock the left would be "Love Me, I'm a Liberal"
Competency crisis song
Whats the song about?
What disaster is this song based after
Its not a real disaster, just a fictional one. Hypothetical. :) Leslie Fish originally created this song alongside an albums worth of songs in case of World War III happening [Very unlikely so don't worry
Nothing in specific as the dude above said, but some people have said it’s vaguely inspired by the Bhopal disaster.
I don't ussaly think covers are better than origonals, but your version is just great. Not to say the origonal is bad
Put this on a mod for New Vegas Radio.
It's pretty deceptive to have -by Alderon Tyran. Makes it seem like you're claiming you wrote the song.
That aside this is a good cover!
This is fair, I put that there mostly to distinguish this version from the original (and it's various repostings), since the original is posted alot more and has quite a bit more reach. I do make note in the description and pinned comment though to try and clarify for anyone looking into the details like that though. 😅
I think Mr. Tyran listens to the same niche filk music I do
Dang I didn’t know about this filk channel. Will definitely be subscribing
