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.

@Anna Flecchia 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.

***** 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.
