+1 I think this one is good to be shared and played at least once a month.____
Background — at the White House ball / dinner for the governors Feb. 22, the Army Chorus sang their rendition from Les Miserables, a musical based on French author Victor Hugo’s book. ____ Also timely as French Pres. Macron visited the White House 2 days later.
Another interesting thing, this version is actually the epilogue in the musical. There is “Do You Hear the People Sing?” (The actual song before the fighting starts at the barricades) and then there is a reprise of it as part of the epilogue at the end before curtain call.
Les Misérables (Original Broadway Cast Recording) 1987
Disc 2 - Track 17 - Finale “Les Miserables”
The first half is a duet with Jean Valjean on his deathbed with Cossette by his side, then “Do You Hear the People Sing” starts at 2:57 with the entire cast singing together.
Lyrics:
Do you hear the people sing?
Lost in the valley of the night
It is the music of a people who are climbing to the light
For the wretched of the earth
There is a flame that never dies
Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise
They will live again in freedom in the garden of the Lord
They will walk behind the ploughshare
They will put away the sword
The chain will be broken and all men will have their reward
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade, is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing? Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring when tomorrow comes
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade, is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing? Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring when tomorrow comes

The left actually believes the Army chose this song without Pre. Trump knowing, they believe this was sung against POTUS. https://www.irishstar.com/news/us-news/white-house-too-stupid-protest-34740175
In addition to his impeccable political taste, GEOTUS has a fine ear for music.

It’s the song going through my mind since the election!!
