My choir is singing this at a late Remembrance Day Concert. I hope to get a recording of us performing, but until then the ASU concert choir does a masterful rendition for this most important of days.
We Remember Them
In the rising of the sun and in its going down,
we remember them.
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
we remember them.
In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring,
we remember them.
In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer,
we remember them.
In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn,
we remember them.
In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
we remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength,
we remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart,
we remember them.
When we have joys we yearn to share,
we remember them.
So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are now a part of us,
as we remember them.
One of the features of partisan thinking is answering a question with a response meant to incriminate the other side, rather than addressing the substance of the question. Watch and see it on display not once, but several times – having an honest conversation with someone like this is quite frustrating.
Rutter is just amazing. Singing this song this and next year. The B section is harder than it sounds to layer together properly, but when it comes together whew… it is heavenly. In this recording, the choir nails it solidly on the second iteration. What changed? My guess is they had the sweep of the music within them by the time Bx2 rolled around.
Craven behaviour has been allowed to fester in our institutions for way too long. This individual is *responsible* for the fairness and safety of soccer in Alberta. Guess what chucklefuck? Stating the truth and protecting the girls in your leagues won’t be all sugar and spice given the current activist narrative bullshit climate. Find a backbone already and start fighting for reality and women’s rights
Toward the end, the question was asked by Ramaswamy to his opponent – ‘The best way to stop discriminating on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.”
You can see all the identity politic tropes manifest themselves – ‘intersectionality’, oppression narratives, the willful dismissal of the evidence at hand (name a better country for the advancement of all people in the country).
I keep hoping to see a realignment and move back toward ethics and integrity in journalism. Media plays a pivotal role in our society and they must forge a path back toward some version of impartiality and objectivity. People are tuning out and that is terrible for everyone in a country.
