NATIONAL ANTHEM OF THE SOVIET UNION The second-best national anthem in world history (more on that later) So good that modern Russia has changed some words communism around but the tune is the same So catchy, it's no surprise why so many people changed political stances because of a song THE INTERNATIONALE TACHANKA The international anthem of A patriotic song from WWII about Soviet machine-gun wagons Great humming material, and the word "tachanka" is simply fun to say The most So fun to sing along catchy of to, 10% of the all Soviet music reason I learned Russian was this song If I end up marrying an Eastern European girl, I will name our first daughter "Katyusha" WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON? American union song from the early 20th century I don't support their politics but this is a powerful song N---- spiritual from slavery times KATYUSHA BELLA CIAO MARINS DE GROIX A Soviet WWII-era march about attracting Italian girls French folk song about fishmonger women from Brittany who've lost their husbands It's so eerie to hear such good music passed down through oral tradition GOOD GOD A'MIGHTY Work song carried on by chain gangs in the Jim Crow South A diligent ethnologist in the FDR administration went around and recorded a bunch of these so now we have pristine historical records POLYUSHKA POLYE The most powerful of all Soviet choral songs, and that's saying something Also the lyrics are about it Oh my god it's perfect NEHMT ABSCHIED, BRÜDER I have no clue what the song is about but it's really really peaceful When that second part hits, it "hits" I listen to it when I need to calm down Imagine that s--- coming at you as a German in the trenches of Kursk FOUR HARMONIZED PEYOTE SONGS Navajo song about doing peyote It's spiritual and I have listened to it on acid Such an odd concept, that's half the appeal PROPHECIES Philip Glass song in the Hopi language, about the transience of American capitalistic society This is gonna sound weird but I love listening to this while watching smoke, smoke dynamics are cool REQUIEM (POWELL) O SACRUM CONVIVIUM My favorite requiem: Powell wrote this about watching his wife die of a rare blood disease and he really lets the pain leach through Tied to the labor movement ECCO LA PRIMAVERA Italian Renaissance song about the coming of spring The kind of thing that would be a banger at Da Vinci's crib Written by Messiaen while he was in a German concentration camp in WWII In the fall of 2018, I was going through a very hard time song about sunset and I spent several days laying in bed listening to this song on repeat EVENING SONG Ukrainian folk WE ARE CLIMBING CALON LAN ILLIAD BOOK 6 GORY, GORY JACOB'S LADDER So a linguist reconstructed Traditional Welsh Homeric Greek and "Battle Hymn of the Republic," but for WWII paratroopers miners' song Just really pleasant to listen to LA MARSEILLAISE Powerful national anthem that has been memed to death with all the "Fr*nch" jokes If you listen to the lyrics they reference French Renaissance song about all the pretty birds mass murder casually Sounds kinda gay in the happy sense MO LI HUA Ancient Chinese folk song about jasmine flowers I only put it here because it's one of Xi's favorite songs You can hear the hardship in their voices, they could knock out most men in one punxh ALLEN DI WILLEN NAAR ISLAND GAAN Dutch peasant song Just way more extra than it needs to be and that's why I like it proceeded to sing 36 minutes of the Iliad in it Incredibly based, I go on runs listening to it and pretend I'm a hoplite REQUIEM (MOZART) The most well- known requiem Has been memed to death but genuinely trafic GOING HOME Set to the best classical piece of all time: the Largo movement from Dvorak's 9th This will play at my funeral WENN DIE BUNTEN FAHNEN WEHNEN German children's song about colorful flags LE CHANT DES Y'A D'LA JOIE OISEAUX But because it's in German, it sounds slightly sinister French children's song ERIKA Shut up ! I feel terrible whenever I know how listen to it but it unironically slaps bad this looks So upbeat and joyful that it's impossible to not love I keep a separate playlist of marching music and this is one of the top songs but again, I feel like I'm betraying my ancestors while istening to it WENN DIE SOLDATEN I heard this on a WWII doc and it was rather catchy 1940s bop CHEYENNE MARCH SONG American Indian music may not be traditionally harmonic, but it has nice historical significance A Also it's severely underrated BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC Certified Probably the hood classic most-well known song on this compass You have almost certainly hummed it before Pretty catchy and funny too NATIONAL ANTHEM OF JAPAN In terms of music theory, it's a really simple tune, but it conveys Japanese principles effectively Also it's the oldest existing national anthem on earth which is awesome ANTHEM OF THE QING DYNASTY This was the national anthem of the Qing Dynasty for two years before the empire ceased to exist Imagine a country that has existed for 600 years, with all the traditions and culture forthwith, being swallowed by the sands. of time, and this is its swansong Tuvan party music FRATELLI, D'ITALIA, L'ITALIA, S'E DESTA... Makes me feel super patriotic whenever I listen AA-SHUU DEMBILDAY FRATELLI D'ITALIA IT'S A LONG WAY *breathes in* TO TIPPERARY Possibly the catchiest song around, at the top of my "marching music" playlist No cap I love Tuvan culture so f------ much, seems like fun SHEPHERD'S CAROL One of the first songs written in Colonial America Whenever I hear it I imagine a cozy cabin with turkeys hanging from CRUSADERS IN PSKOV Despite being a communist, Prokofiev was also a Russian nationalist, and he wrote this banger song to try and instill patriotism during WWII The film score composer James. Horner ended up stealing a lot of it, so it might sound familiar to you DELIVER US (IN HEBREW) Song from "The Prince of Egypt" but it sounds better in Hebrew because that's the language that would've been used the rafters and a crackling fire I feel a cultural connection to it I belt this s--- out full- tilt in the shower In German it sounds better than English change my mind PRESENT JOYS So if you've never heard of "harp singing," it's a polyphonic tradition in the American South and it's f------ awesome HATIKVAHIAM TUVAN! The best national anthem of all time, for an autonomous republic populated by ethnic Mongolians within Russia They sound like banshees National anthem of Israel, you can feel the pain in the tune It sounds mysteriously similar to Smetana's "Ma Vlast" but nobody seems to acknowledge that THE BONNIE BLUE FLAG I do not support the Confederacy, but their songs are so damn catchy Ukrainian Christmas song This one is perfect for whistling. thankfully nobody around me seems to know what it is I VOW TO THEE, MY COUNTRY Anything set to "Jupiter" has to be good There's a particularly- epic rendition on YouTube featuring the Queen, Vera Lynn, and a bunch of WWII veterans; I'll link it in the comments OG "Carol of the Bells" Sounds better in the original language DOWN TO THE RIVER TO PRAY From "O Brother, Where Art Thou" but it's also a traditional hymn. The canon composition of it is cool THERE ARE SURPRISINGLY- FEW HISTORICAL I have 0.0% Asian blood but this s--- makes me feel like I've always lived on the steppes How is it possible for this much epicness to exist CHORAL SONGS WITH LIBRIGHT POLITICS MARCH OF THE SIBERIAN RIFLEMEN Russian military march used often in WWI Now it's sung by neo-monarchists so that's interesting BRIDAL CHORUS SCHEDRYK GAUDETE MIRIE IT IS Wagner classic, much more tame than his nine- hour epic operas Medieval Christmas song, traditionally sung by teenage girls THE BRITISH GRENADIER It's a shame The song that the built an empire, super iconic Christchurch killer played it while shooting up a mosque, because now it can't escape that association Medieval song that sounds more modern because it actually has a beat Actually gets me hype, it's on my workout playlist Idk how to explain it LA DONNA È MOBILE "Woman is fickle" Imao Pavoratti for President GOD REST YE, MERRY GENTLEMEN Not the dinky Americanized Christmas record, but the original s----your-pants the Church is powerful choral piece There's a version I like where 1,000 choir boys are singing it in Westminster Chapel and now I'm afraid of the Catholic Church SANCTE DEI Such a fun song Da C'EST L'AVIRON Québécois song about how fun rowing is www PUMPED-UP KICKS IN OLD ENGLISH Some guy on YouTube makes covers of modern songs in old languages and he's the GOAT for it cowboy s--- And all the songs genuinely slap but this one slaps the most And it genuinely is fun, and this song captures it 8th century Gregorian chant THE ROAD HOME REQUIEM (FAURÉ) A very comforting hymn that makes me feel like I'm swaddled in blankets Fauré was a senile fundamentalist Christian but holy f--- he wrote a beautiful requiem When people talk about concepts of heaven, this is what I imagine it's like GRANDE DOSSOLOGIA Just a regular hymn, kind of obscure actually But something about the I wish I was as good friends with my boys as these monks clearly are harmony just *gets* to me, it's unexplainable Some real Sounds incredibly authentic and whenever I hear it I imagine I'm at a medieval party THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS I don't want to give Texans any more merit than they already get, but this is a point in their favor WHERE AM I TO GO, M'JOHNNIES? I listen to a lot of sea shanties but this one is my very favorite Just so damn cheerful THE TENDIEMAN A mock sea shanty about the events of the 2021 GME pump and dump But it's unironically good WALTZING MATILDA Fun to sing Of f------ course Australia's national song is about a traveling bandit
