jimmiller5417OCCUPY WALL STREET MOVEMENT WHEN the Occupy Wall Street Movement needs an anthem, it has to be Do You Hear the People Sing? From Les Miserables. The song is best heard with sub-titles from Les Miserable 25th Anniversary (2010) performance at the Royal Opera House, London Do You Hear the People Sing? Recall Victor Hugo's immortal words: “There is a determined though unseen bravery that defends itself foot by foot in the darkness against the fatal invasions of necessity and dishonesty. Noble and mysterious triumphs that no eye sees, and no fame rewards, and no flourish of triumph salutes. Life, misfortunes, isolation, abandonment, poverty, are battlefields that have their heroes; obscure heroes, sometimes greater than the illustrious heroes.” Here's are some great videos about protest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=QYOTe7V2DlA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNsnbLqgLK0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ9ad90Lulc&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZowiT5ZyRs&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_V0NXFpSSA&feature=fvwrel (French) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_V0NXFpSSA&feature=fvwrel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMZ19aanrCw&feature=related (French) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t2OUXiUPos&feature=related (Chinese) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOKfwtMeyFg (Spanish) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD_QOrQDjyQ (Spanish sub-titles) LYRICS Lyrics to Do You Hear The People Sing: Do you hear the people sing?
