Those evening bells
Those evening bells
How many a tale their music tells,
Of youth, and home,
And those sweet time,
When last I heard their soothing chime.

That soloist from the Red Army choir has a beautiful voice. I first heard this set to a youtube montage of dead soldiers scattered between the Volga and Don. On the whole it was tastefully done and moving, unlike the comments section.

I imagine Russian and German soldiers, especially the teens, stuck in Hell, missing home and never to return. The stats were grim on the Ostfront, beyond comprehension.

Same performance (I think) but I chose a different video of it.

Apparently an Irish poet (T. Moore) wrote it as a Russian themed song.
