Do You Hear The People Sing? - Les Misérables (Cover) by Seth Staton Watkins
STREAM The Parting Glass here: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/set...
Someone on TikTok asked that I do a song from Les Misérables so here we are. I have always loved the emotion this song evokes which is probably obvious given my proclivity to all things related to rebellion against an economically and politically repressive state.
Lyrics:
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance?
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes

A bit stylistically different than your usual songs but I love it and it absolutely has the same heart of the labor songs.

Les Mis is one of my favorite musicals and I cannot put into words how happy this made me to see! Your version reminded me a bit of when I saw it performed live (just more Irish-sounding, of course). Absolutely amazing!

@@samwise3268 gotcha. Thanks for clarifying(: I understand where you’re coming from-tho for me, I just don’t want my request to get lost in the storm, and I feel that I can be more memorable/favorable if I ask in nonstandard ways, especially if they have some kind of creative twist to them. Also my grandma (the Irish link to Henry Joy, my song) is not very well (multiplying chronic issues) and I would love to be able to show one of the three remaining McCrackens this cover before they all pass away. There were 13.
