This Land Is Your Land: A Tribute To Bernie Sanders
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 січ 2016
- Recorded & filmed by Signal Kitchen in Burlington, VT. www.signalkitchen.com
In 1987, Bernie Sanders recorded a folk album with a group of Vermont artists. He performed several American classics, including Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land.” In 2016, Vermont’s music community came together once again to show support for Sanders’ campaign for presidency and the positive message of the song. The performance is a lively and nearly celebratory take on the traditional tune, symbolic of the hope that Sanders has inspired in Vermont and beyond. The support from this community is representative of the genuinely positive effect that Sanders has had in his years of service to the town of Burlington and the state of Vermont. His compassion and empathy for his fellow man have carried his message to the forefront of the world’s political stage, and fittingly, a selection of wonderful people that he has helped directly as Mayor, Congressman, and Senator have offered their appreciation and support for his social philosophy through this timeless piece of music.

Listening to this after Bernie announced he will be running again! Let’s feel the bern!🔥
@Marco Polodeadass, free at the point of using it but of course we pay. By every American, we also include the wealthy who will be taxed way more.
@Marco Polo The American citizen will pay slightly more in tax, but will no longer have to pay deductibles, co-pays, or premiums for health care.
@NPC Idiot451
Progressives: We want the rich to pay their fair share in taxes and health care is a right
Conservatives: Oh so VeNeZuELA REEEEEEE
Feel the bern of: 70% marginal tax rate, 69 trillion dollar green new fail, and 82 trillion dollar medicare for all scheme. Feel the fucking bern, all right. I know this all sounda dandy to those of you in your teens who have never earned anything, but those of us who worked our entire lives deserve to keep what we earned.
Millionaire Bernie can stay the fuck away from our earnings...
@@cyberpimp29 Yeah I'd rather vote for the Nazi or Biden who stands for what? Nothing I guess..lmao. Why even show up just to hate? You must be scared he's gonna win if you feel the need to troll people for believing in something. Something as innocent as making this country a better place for the poor and needy too. If you think Bernie's crazy, then you should have no problem taking your business elsewhere shouldn't you?
We are still waiting for you Berniee! We are here for you! We know you will be there for us! All of us! United as one country. ALL OF US!!
I can't help playing this countless times,it is so beautiful that it fits for Bernie.
+Angel Lavoix LOL same here i literally play this everyday and have downloaded on my iTunes … so inspiring like Bernie.
The most moving rendition of this song I have found.
Bernie supporter's never stop amazing me. love the real America
Bernie 2020! Let's go!
@Marco Polo I notice your type doesn't complain about spending billions to fight wars that don't do anyone any good, you just bitch and moan and whine when our tax dollars actually benefit us. Why is that?
In these brutal times of 2020, this warms my soul.
If there is a Heaven, this is how I can imagine arriving there would be like.
There isn't a heaven. We all die equally. No God to say who's good or bad or Chosen. We're all equal.
You will always be my hero BernieSanders
This should have gone viral by now.
I really hope that Bernie runs again. I believe that he can bring this torn apart country together. I'm sad that this country has a lot ethnocentrism.I know we are not perfect, we have done our harm around the globe. Recognizing and learning
@Marco Polo Spoken like someone who has never listened to a single speech or talk that Bernie has ever given. But hey I guess your side does love to hate people over trivial things such as the color of their skin so.
@Marco Polo Yup - and the American people will save money.
@Marco Polo Ah - antisemitism - ok, thanks, have a good one.
Damn you guys do Woody proud. I've always said this should be our national anthem, so much more appropriate than the rockets red glare and bombs bursting in air. Excellent.
I'm guessing Francis Scott Key didn't realize what connection that phrase would take on today. Whoops!!!!
Absolutely!
Thank you for keeping Woody Guthrie alive and with ALL the intended lyrics!! He was the original truth teller! Keep it lit and Feel The Bern!!
This is one of the best versions of the song that I've heard. Woody Guthrie would be pleased.
Return of the Bern !! 2020
He's returning to lose again. He can't get enough.
This should be the OFFICIAL campaign song for Bernie's Campaign.
They should play it, encouraging people to sing along - how can you help BUT to sing along - just before Bernie takes the stage!
+Stephen Justino YES I AGREE!!!!
+Stephen Justino Exactly
It wouldn’t work because this is pro America and we are anti commie
@@nathanplascencia1877 yea nothing commie about a song that says america is the common property of the people, that specifically bemoans the concept of private property and points out how our massive wealth inequality contradicts our mythos
@@sophiet-union …The Rich “Private Property “ owners are the VERY ONES Who are Promoting “Wokeism” & SOCIIALISM,…Which we now know How Guilty Sanders IS of Promoting !!!🙄🤷♂️😡😡😡 When I Got Smart & Realized this,…I VOTED for TRUMP,…AMERICA FIRST !!! (Anti-Socialism !!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸).
People all over America are saying they have been waiting for a candidate like Bernie but that's not really what is going on. You see, it has been Bernie, all along, who has been waiting for the people. The storm is here the future is now, change is good, Feel the Bern!!!!
+Steve McGuinness #NotMeUs #WeAreBernie
well said
+Steve McGuinness Absolutely the truth. He's been waiting a long time now. Someone once whispered you won't survive the storm, and Bernie whispered back I am the storm! What he can accomplish if elected will survive too. Vote for Bernie!!
+Steve McGuinness I agree. It's time for a revolution.
"communist" is "socialism" dumbass that is why he dropped because it would of ruined America like it did to Russia.
THIS should be Bernie's campaign song.... goes perfectly with his message. #feelthebern
+Jill West And if others thought the AMERICA song by Simon and Garfunkel was great, This, if made the same way, would eclipse that one. #NotMeUs #WeAreBernie
+Dawn Elaine I agree
+Jill West it's a song about the abolition of private property you half witted liberal
midge843 screen name should be an obvious give away
+RedScare TV .......when your name is redscare, that signifies there's something even deeper wrong with you. I'm okay with a username I rarely use and haven't changed in 13 years. It was a nickname when I was short in highschool and didnt shoot up until age 16. 5'11 is just fine. Not that I had to even clarify, but I enjoy playing this game with you.
My dad said that this vieo is the best performance he has ever seen of this song!
I love Bernie ♥️
You guys brought this old hippie to tears when I first heard this..
Funny thing; when i was a kid they only taught us the first three verses..
Huh..
Speaking as a musician and retired Grip (look it up..;) ) This is one most excellent piece of work. From vocals, to the dobro, to the mix, camera work, lighting and edit..
Kudos.
I do think you've defined an anthem for a revolution. (Y)
Na the international descrides our revolution the workers revolution.
To tears, you say. HAHAHAHA.
The national anthem of the USSR would've been more fitting, don't you think?
Payam al-Abid you don’t know a damn thing about Bernie, or the American left. This is our music. You don’t know our heroes, Woody, Robeson, Debs, hell, MLK was one of us but most Americans don’t know he was a democratic socialist. You don’t know our ideals, democracy, equality, pro peace, working class unity, anti-oligarchy, anti-corruption, anti-racism, secularism (meaning freedom of religion and having a nonreligious government)
We are not like the Bolsheviks even remotely, even the most radical among us like myself are nothing like the Bolsheviks.
Simply beautiful! and it brings tears to my eyes to see mostly young people dedicating it to Bernie. Never forget, he's doing it for you and those yet to come. Vote for Bernie!! He truly is our last best hope for not only a better future for our kids and grand kids but also for our Mother Earth. Vote for Bernie. Make it happen!!!!
Bravo! Bernie Sanders..the only truly human being in the contest for President
the lady at 03:55 has an amazing voice!! just perfect. i'm not even American but its making me feel patriotic. lol
This is exquisite.
The voices are crystal, harmonies warm. I don't know if this is Bernie's "favourite" song. (he's probably got a little love-hate with it by now) But this is bound to help see him through the next leg of the journey. As soon as I heard it, after wiping away the tears, I played it again.. GO BERNIE!
REAL people are behind you!!
#BERNIE2016 #FEELTHEBERN
+Jacquelyn French We were feeling it for sure! Thanks so much for your lovely thoughts
+Jacquelyn French Actually I read that it is one of his favorite songs. :) Which made me cry when I read it because its also my favorite song. This song means so much to me especially now.
agreed, I'm more of a Marxist though. Democratic socialism is close enough.
Then you should absolutely LOVE this Marxist/Communist song, and thank for proving my point above!
The voices sound beautiful. Too bad it's political cancer. Poor naive Woody. I gotta believe he would have come around to seeing he was conned like so many we're back then. MAGA
Amazing. Good luck to you and Bernie from the UK
Watching this in September 2017 - it's still exquisite, and gives me great hope for the future. Most beautiful version I've ever heard of this song.
proud to be from Vermont! totally beautiful!
Def makes me #FeelTheBern!!! Awesome job :-)
My Dear and lovely Bernie Sanders, my hero, God bless your good heart.
It take a lot for me to loose a tear but I just did..... GREAT JOB!!!
This song makes me so happy and makes me feel so happy for my country. Someday, sense will be knocked into all of us and we can sing this song together.
come on people we got to go out and vote. Bernie all the way
Some time from now, Bernie will be standing on top, whether that be President, or reclining in his home in Vermont hearing widespread wins by Democrats in 2020. I'll be celebrating by listening to this song. This government is made for you and me.
Thank you very much for this son !! Very nice voices !!
Come on guys #Bernie2020 it's time to put the heat on so the world can feel the American fire
I still come back to this video from time to time. Bernie, you're our only hope--keep fighting the good fight!
This song is what you call true Americana.
This is great!!!! Okay. This is the hands down best version I have ever ever heard...and I am old. Loved Pete and Woody..still do, but, dang! This knocks it out of the park! Thank you! I wish Pete was still here to be a part of all this. He would love it!
I agree best version I ever heard probably because we are in 2016 and we have better music tech
paul8kangas agree
Democrat leaderships put trump in the White House by blocking Sanders candidacy
"This Land Is Your Land" should be put out on the public market. I great song for this time. It will be a hit. Feel the Bern.
Bernie Actually went to the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa Oklahoma today. So fitting.
OMG Why isn't this the official video of Bernie's 2020 campaign AWESOME :p
Wish it could but. This song has an history. Not all good. But i wish too it was.
Beautiful Work, God Holds everyone of you:) Thanks for being here!
Really fantastic!
Please SHARE this widely and let everyone enjoy the beauty of it.
#feelthebern #WeAreBernie
I am so proud to have a band as talented as this from my hometown!
That's very cool, I thought they came from all over Vermont. Which of them are in the local band? just curious? (can't be all..economically doesn't work :-)
@@Yppengasse28 Just heard this wonderful rendition for the first time...10/13/19. Maybe Elijah Hines meant that they recorded in Burlington? Just a thought. There's another version w/ Bernie singing along with them on a stage somewhere. And a different version that's a fine re-mix with some incredible photos! Both on You Tube, also great.
This is the most genius thing that I've seen for a while. This is the genius of a collective mind and I'm not sure I've ever witnessed something like this. This is a unit of many with a voice piece sticking out at the front. Several all tied into one. This will get votes. This will kick bootie on some fascists.
+Tobias C. Brown Beautifully stated. Thank you!
Dwight and Nicole This performance must eventually go viral. It simply hasn't been caught onto yet.
ifoundsage Haters will hate.
+ifoundsage It is sad that people like you make feeble attempts to belittle others because you probably were not hugged enough as a child. Perhaps you are projecting.
Better yet, Janai, get a job and stop bothering people with your nonsense.
Awesome performance! Thank you for supporting Bernie!
I was thinking how this would make a great flashmob piece all across the country....for Bernie!
Come back Bernie!
And so he did! And leads the list with funds raised and # of contributors and polled voters 18-39! And voters like me at 80 and-a-half. And America has a 2nd chance!.
More than a dozen times I played this video so lovely and very inspiring.I really hope they will get a record and so I can download on iTunes. Feel the Bern!
Yay 187th comment! That's my favorite number! 👍🏼
September 2017 I am still listening to the song.
Love how she says "California".
so many hearts beating for bernie sanders
that was awesome! well done!
oh these beautiful souls & voices!!
Awesome version of *"This Land is Your Land".* Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves while they sing. 🙂
OMG, this is SO sweet!
When in history has a presidential campaign ever inspired so much creativity?
a tear fell from my eye.
This is first time in many years that I hear this song and especially from young people!
It seems to me young people of America and Vermont specifically are showing their patriotic feelings to the country of ours. Great song!
I would vote for Bernie if he is chosen to be President nominee, despite I am not socialist.
+1 ebenezer if Berni is not socialist then who is he
I don't care what you think about me. But english grammar says "Read", not "Reed"
Study English my friend.
@@agoldberg2001 I just saw/heard this wonderful video of Vermonters for the 1st time on 4/5/19. Loved your comment about it! Bernie is a democratic socialist, and there truly is a difference altho' not too many thought much about it until Sen. Sanders became more well known. You could think of presidents FDRoosevelt and DDEisenhower as democratic socialists, too, because of the people-helping programs they supported, and got passed, like Social Security. Now, Bernie has a fairer chance this 2nd time around, for 2020. He just won the 1st quarter stats re amount of contributions received, # of donors, also headed the poll of voters 18-39. Etc. But, it is a l-o-n-g road ahead to be the nominee and then win the general election. I'm just a volunteer, but I hope these three years later you will be voting for him!
KEEP donating & Volunteering #Bernie2020
It makes my heart happy to see all good people come to the aid of Bernie in this time of need. So many wonderful videos made and shared on UA-cam for a True cause that will change the world as we know it. Blessing to all.
This song always brings a tear to my eyes. The amount of energy and soul put into making this perfect harmonious song is the kind of energy we need in this world to make peace. I'm not sure how none of these people shed a tear while recording. I would've been crying.
There should be a live performance of this for the whole nation to see on the night Bernie wins in November (and/or maybe on inauguration day :) )
I’m so moved ❤️
This is great! Always loved that song since I was a kid. Good choice as it represents every American person.
just beautiful... thank you!
amazing ensemble
Wow! 👏👏👏Their voices sound so beautiful together. All of them but the two leads...so different but complimentary. I'm tearing up.😢 Only in America 🙏✊🏼✌🏼
Terrific! Wish you had included some of us who were on that wonderful White Crow Session in 1987. You done good! Congratulations!
I sincerely hope you all are singing this the night Bernie wins the Presidency! I envision the whole country singing it with you! It sends chills through my whole being just hearing you sing this! #FeelTheBern
+Lizabeth Friesen OMG that would make me cry!!
BEAUTIFUL voices and singing. Love it!!
Excellent. Some of Vermont's finest!
+Aisha Foots Thank you!!
Thank you! Solid gold
Beautiful, Amazing, Inspiring.#Bernie2016
Beautiful. I would have preferred this for his campaign song.
#Bernie2020
a beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. a tribute to a brave man who gives of himself to others. Bernie is my hero !
This song is bittersweet now, but I still give it a listen in 2020. Gives me hope.
as a crusty old boomer, let me just say, I loved this and the hearts that made it. I wish I could give each of you a candle, and tell you to go light up the world and not curse the darkness. Peace be with you.
Oh my God this rendition was the absolute best. Thank you. #StillStandingWithBernie2016 #PresidentBernieSanders2016
🙆❤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 indeed it is the land for "We The People" love it...love KW&TISB
Wow. Y'all should be on the road performing at his events. That would be amazing.
GOOSEBUMPS!
I have watched this at least 15 times now. I love this. This video should have waaay more view. I don't understand how it doesn't have more. Seriously yall need to put this on iTunes or Soundcloud at least. I don't want to have to keep using UA-cam to play music.
What a beautiful voice, inspirational cover Perfect for Bernie!
Love this #Bernie2016
I absolutely love this rendition and the fact that it is connected to our Bernie,.
This is for all who do not know the man who wrote this song. A folk hero of the depression WoodyGuthrie
Wow! What an amazing rendition.....you guys are incredible. Go Bernie2016
+Liiziel Conmey Thank you!! This is pretty exciting!! #feelthebern
I was the same year as the bass player at UVM. In fact we have the exact same name, and I also play bass. Love this rendition and love Bernie. Good work.
This land was made for you and me. Bless all of you!
YES Yes Yes ! !
You can really feel the spirit! God Bless them, and God Bless, our man Bernie Sanders.
I never got tired listening to this group with the song for Bernie.
bernie will love it
I hate loving the hope we had. But thank you, still, for your beautiful voices.
That there is the heart of the matter. Most excellent.
Arlo Guthrie includes his dad's song in his concerts. It should be our national anthem.
Awesome! YUGE fan here. I'm sharing this on the weekend before election day 2022. When I sing it, I add this verse (sorry, I don't remember who I learned it from):
Maybe you've been working hard as you're able
And you just get crumbs from the rich folks' table
Maybe you've been wondering - is it truth or fable
That this land was made for you and me...
This land is your land......
