‘Cicada’ Lyrics
---------------------------------------
My love, you are my muse and enticed me into song
I vanish into euphony to worlds far gone
I can hear the bluebells ring
So I am leaving, I am leaving, I am leaving
I can hear the bluebells ring
I can hear them sing
I'll disappear into a field of blue

When I vanish into melody
And never return, far gone
Would you turn me into a cicada
So I can finish your song?

Some might only hear a humming noise
But if you know just how to listen
I promise you will hear my voice
I can hear the bluebells ring
So I am leaving, I am leaving, I am leaving
I can hear the bluebells ring
I can hear them sing
I'll disappear into a field of blue

When I vanish into melody
And never return, far gone
Would you turn me into a cicada
So I can finish your song?
When I vanish into melody
Would you turn us into folklore?
Like the Muses used to do
I'll sing for you forevermore

I can hear the bluebells ring
I can hear the bluebells ring

I am pixy-led, and I might not ever come back
Oh, I might not ever come back
I am spellbound, and I do not want to be found
Oh, I do not want to be found

When I vanish into melody
And never return, far gone
Would you turn me into a cicada
So I can finish your song?
When I vanish into melody
Would you give me translucent wings?
And I will finish your song
When summer begins

Music in Nazi Germany - The maestro and the cellist of Auschwitz | DW Documentary Hotney 5 Streams • 4 years ago

Why was classical music so important to Hitler and Goebbels? The stories of Jewish cellist Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, who survived Auschwitz, and of star conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler, who worked with the Nazis, provide insight.

The film centers around two people who represent musical culture during the Third Reich - albeit in very different ways. Wilhelm Furtwängler was a star conductor; Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, the cellist of the infamous Women’s Orchestra of Auschwitz. Both shared a love for the classical German music.

The world-famous conductor made a pact with Hitler and his henchmen. The young woman, brought to Auschwitz for being Jewish, was spared death for her musical talent. While Furtwängler decided to stay in Germany and make a deal with the devil, Lasker-Wallfisch struggled to survive the brutality of the death camp, with a cello as her only defense. Why did gifted artists like Furtwängler make a pact with evil? Why was classical music played in extermination camps? And how did this change the way victims saw music?

German music was used to justify the powerful position the Third Reich claimed in the world, and to distract listeners from Nazi crimes. In addition to Beethoven, Bach and Brucker, Richard Wagner was highly valued, because he was Hitler’s personal favorite. Hitler understood the power of music, and his chief propagandist Joseph Goebbels was in charge of music in the Nazi-controlled state.

This music documentary by Christian Berger features interviews with musicians like Daniel Barenboim and Christian Thielemann; the children of Wilhelm Furtwängler; and of course 97-year-old survivor Anita Lasker-Wallfisch. Her memories are chilling. Archive film footage, restored and colorized, brings the story to life, and bears witness to an agonizing chapter in history.

Lyrics:

We’ve been lost for a long time
In a rut, no escape signs
And for love, we were so blind
Oh I hate to see you cry
There’ve been times where the truth lied
Now it’s clear as a blue sky

Like a bandaid over deeper cuts we tried
But couldn’t stop the fate descending on the night

We’ll build a fire and torch our old lives
And hope the spark survives
Use words as kindling
Light up the night sky
Let the memories take flight
And hope the spark survives
Yeah we hope the spark survives

Oh I wonder will we pull through?
All we ever do is argue
With not a lot, but we make do
How I wish you wouldn’t say that
There are things you can’t take back
When you leave I always face facts

Like a hand that’s trying to hold the water back
Couldn’t stop the ocean leaking in the cracks

We’ll build a fire and torch our old lives
And hope the spark survives
Use words as kindling
Light up the night sky
Let the memories take flight
And hope the spark survives
Yeah we hope the spark survives

We’ve taken roads
That led to confusion
But right now that don’t matter at all
We’ll bring it back
Our love’s no illusion
The higher we go, the harder we fall

We’ll build a fire and torch our old lives
And hope the spark survives
Use words as kindling
Light up the night sky
Let the memories take flight
And hope the spark survives
Yeah we hope the spark survives
Yeah we hope the spark survives
