Here's To You
Joan Baez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rest forever here in our hearts
The last and final moment is yours
That agony is your triumph
The song "Here's To You" by Joan Baez is a tribute to Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italian-American anarchists who were wrongfully convicted of robbery and murder in 1920s Massachusetts. They were believed to have been targeted because of their political beliefs and their Italian heritage. Despite worldwide protests and calls for clemency, Sacco and Vanzetti were executed in 1927. The lyrics "Here's to you, Nicola and Bart, rest forever here in our hearts" serves as a tribute to the two men and their struggle for justice.
The last line "That agony is your triumph" is a reference to their deaths and the belief that they were martyred for their beliefs. The song is also a call to remember the sacrifices that countless others have made in the fight for justice and to stand up for what is right. The use of the word "triumph" in the context of their deaths suggests that their legacy will live on and continue to inspire others.
The song was written by Joan Baez along with Ennio Morricone, an Italian composer known for his work with film scores. The song was originally written for the 1971 film "Sacco e Vanzetti," which tells the story of the two men and their trial. The song has since become a political anthem for those fighting for social justice and has been covered by numerous artists. It serves as a powerful reminder of the impact that individuals can have on the world and the importance of never giving up the fight for what is right.

@@annaflecchia4747 Thank you, this song and the movie and of course everything that happened really, really touched me.
knowing they were impotent that they weee walking to their doom.
They showed no fear and were ready to leave this world behind.
One of them in his final statement not an exact quite mind you.
1. He said that he we should not for of death if it is an unjust death.
2 He also said that he actually sees this as a victory.
(sort this was incomplete i tried to copy to paste it later but sent it by mistake)
but yes he and his friend, the two strangers who before their arrest became close friends and have one another strength.
In one of their last letters they had wrote that, death does not fear him now that he had to so many people who loves and supports him.
Not only locally but internationally, world wide. if there was a question of when something first firs went virall in the past,
He actually he said when he found out that him and his friend had a whole army of people and supporters, protesting outside the prisons that people from all over the world like the UK, Italy of course, pretty much the whole of Europe.
he was on the radio and in everdays newspapaers for weeks.
So he seemed that he saw this as victory in a sense because he had brought all people across the world together no matter racel and creed, rich or poor.
They were all brought together in progress, it was beautiful t so many people out fighting for what it right.
It gives a new deeper meaning to here’s to you by joan baez when She sang “That agony is your triumph”.
RiP to fallen and to thetwo innocent men whose lives were taken by state sanctioned murder.
leaving a a wife and with child on the way.

@@massimobernardo- You seem to have convieniently forgotten a good part of the wikipedia article...
Specifically these points I quote:
In October 1961, ballistic tests were run with improved technology on Sacco's Colt semi-automatic pistol. The results confirmed that the bullet that killed Berardelli in 1920 was fired from Sacco's pistol.[193] The Thayer court's habit of mistakenly referring to Sacco's .32 Colt pistol as well as any other automatic pistol as a "revolver" (a popular custom of the day) has sometimes mystified later-generation researchers attempting to follow the forensic evidence trail.[60]
In 1987, Charlie Whipple, a former Boston Globe editorial page editor, revealed a conversation that he had with Sergeant Edward J. Seibolt in 1937. According to Whipple, Seibolt said that "we switched the murder weapon in that case", but indicated that he would deny this if Whipple ever printed it.[194][195] However, at the time of the Sacco and Vanzetti trial, Seibolt was only a patrolman, and did not work in the Boston Police ballistics department; Seibolt died in 1961 without corroborating Whipple's story.[194] In 1935, Captain Charles Van Amburgh, a key ballistics witness for the prosecution, wrote a six-part article on the case for a pulp detective magazine. Van Amburgh described a scene in which Thayer caught defense ballistics expert Hamilton trying to leave the courtroom with Sacco's gun. However, Thayer said nothing about such a move during the hearing on the gun barrel switch and refused to blame either side. Following the private hearing on the gun barrel switch, Van Amburgh kept Sacco's gun in his house, where it remained until the Boston Globe did an exposé in 1960.[196]
In 1973, a former mobster published a confession by Frank "Butsy" Morelli, Joe's brother. "We whacked them out, we killed those guys in the robbery," Butsy Morelli told Vincent Teresa. "These two greaseballs Sacco and Vanzetti took it on the chin."[197]
Before his death in June 1982, Giovanni Gambera, a member of the four-person team of anarchist leaders who met shortly after the arrest of Sacco and Vanzetti to plan their defense, told his son that "everyone [in the anarchist inner circle] knew that Sacco was guilty and that Vanzetti was innocent as far as the actual participation in killing."[198]
Months before he died, the distinguished jurist Charles E. Wyzanski, Jr., who had presided for 45 years on the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, wrote to Russell stating, "I myself am persuaded by your writings that Sacco was guilty." The judge's assessment was significant, because he was one of Felix Frankfurter's "Hot Dogs," and Justice Frankfurter had advocated his appointment to the federal bench.[199]
The Los Angeles Times published an article on December 24, 2005, "Sinclair Letter Turns Out to Be Another Expose", which references a newly discovered letter from Upton Sinclair to attorney John Beardsley in which Sinclair, a socialist writer famous for his muckraking novels, revealed a conversation with Fred Moore, attorney for Sacco and Vanzetti. In that conversation, in response to Sinclair's request for the truth, Moore stated that both Sacco and Vanzetti were in fact guilty, and that Moore had fabricated their alibis in an attempt to avoid a guilty verdict. The Los Angeles Times interprets subsequent letters as indicating that, to avoid loss of sales to his radical readership, particularly abroad, and due to fears for his own safety, Sinclair didn't change the premise of his novel in that respect.[200] However, Sinclair also expressed in the letters in question doubts as to whether Moore deserved to be trusted in the first place, and he did not actually assert the innocence of the two in the novel, focusing instead on the argument that the trial they got was not fair.[201]

***** Oh! Okay. Well the whole Metal Gear series this far have been split into two "stories" if you will. You can play as Naked Snake, or later known as Big Boss in MGS3, GZ and TPP. Or as his "son"/clone: Solid Snake, in basically every other game. Except for MGS2, you play as another slightly less relevant character as well as Solid Snake. MGS3 takes place in 1964 and is essentially the bedrock and backbone for all the other games. Although, MGS3 is kind of revolved more so around Naked Snake's "story". So, the order I'd recommend for you to the get the full chronological order of the series is as follows.
MGS3 - 1964
MGS Portable Ops - 1970 (although this is not considered canon by many people, though some relevant things and events do happen in the game that matter later on)
MGS Peace Walker - 1974 (very important as it is right before Ground Zeroes and also before TPP)
Then comes Ground Zeroes - 1975
And The Phantom Pain - 1984, but we'll skip those two for now.
After that comes the first Metal Gear, which takes place in 1995.
And Metal Gear 2 - 1999 (though these games are pixelated as hell so I'd recommend searching for the comics pertaining to these two games rather than watching Snake, as 7 pixels, running around doing missions.)
Then comes MGS - 2005
MGS2 - 2007-2009
And finally MGS4 - 2014
What's important about these last 3 MGS games is that they really show/explain the long term effects that some characters from the prequel games, such as MGS3, have had. Also, MGS2 is very important in relation to MGS4. MGR Revengeance I don't consider to be that important or canon to the series. Hope this helped! And if you plan on watching all of the storylines of these games movie-style, make sure you have plenty of popcorn 'cause it's a headspin.

+igor sarti Meh. They didn't get a fair trial, but they were most likely guilty. Their politics earned them support from Leftists then and now, but the evidence shows that they did it.
