Iron Sky

This is beautiful but makes me want to cry. Everyone misses the whole point of this song and I've posted it many times in the past. I will feature it in my next monologue along with the actual speech Charlie Chaplin wrote and narrated in 1940. My heart bleeds because it's a speech made for today and no one gets it. Following the Paris shooting at the offices of Charlie Hebdo in 2015, Iron Sky was re-released as a single and quickly climbed the charts. Championed for its use of a famous audio excerpt from Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator (1940) - a film ultimately inspired by Chaplin and Hitler’s familiar facial hair but celebrated for its seriousness (1) – Iron Sky touches on issues of hopelessness, violence, mass-confusion and nihilism. However, it is not a song without hope. Nutini sings for a future in which society will find unity and clarity in a world that is “free and beautiful”.  I do so hope that.
