"Veitstanz" from the legendary album "Herzblut" (2001) is one of Subway to Sally's eternal classics and has been an enthusiastically celebrated banger at live shows for decades, that's why I chose this ecstatic storm of melodies to show you why Subway to Sally are considered to be one of the best live bands EVER in Germany!🖤🔥🌪 "Veitstanz" is also considered a paramount example of Medieval Rock, so it's the perfect track to introduce one who is not that familiar with the genre to the transcendental magic and the infectious energy it evokes... By now you already know that the instrument you didn't have a clue about is called hurdy-gurdy, and it's actually very difficult to learn and to play because you don't only have to turn it but at the same time also have to play the keyboard of it to create melodies! This uniquely wonderful instrument originated from fiddles in either Europe or the Middle East before the 11th century - in Subway to Sally, it is Bodenski who's playing it masterfully. And he's also the gifted poet who's responsible for the profoundly meaningful lyrics of the band, which also influenced me at the core of my being especially when I was growing up, definitely shaping my way to talk and to write.🖊✨️🌙 As for the meaning of the word "Veitstanz": In current medicine, St. Vitus' dance is being described as "a disorder characterized by rapid, uncoordinated jerking movements primarily affecting the face, hands and feet." In medieval times, the word was used for a dancing mania that involved groups of people dancing erratically, sometimes thousands at a time. The mania affected adults and children who danced until, allegedly, they collapsed from exhaustion and injuries, and sometimes died." So now we see why the massive crowd at Summer Breeze couldn't stop dancing and partying anymore - and the party shall go on, as Subway to Sally's new album "POST MORTEM" will be released on December 20th!💚✨️✨️ Everyone go and check out the second single "Stahl auf Stahl" feat. WARKINGS!🔥💥💢💯⚔️
