The People are the Heroes Now! By John Adams (Nixon in China - 2011 NY Met Opera)
From Director Peter Sellars' 2011 NY Metropolitan Opera production of John Adams' "Nixon in China" (conducted by the composer)--featuring: "The People are the Heroes Now"
Why I love this song…
Throughout history great civilizations, leaders, religions and movements have arisen. Yet, as Elites clothe themselves in glory, the role of the everyday person is minimized. Yet it is in fact the People at the foundation of it all! Thus every amazing wonder and development throughout history came about because the People are, and have always been, the True Heroes and actualizers of Civilization.
Lyrics: The people are heroes now, the behemoth pulls the peasants' plow
The people are heroes now, the behemoth pulls the peasants' plow
The people are heroes now, the behemoth pulls the peasants' plow
When we look up
the fields are white
the fields are white with harvest in the morning light
And mountain ranges one by one
rise red beneath our harvest moon
And mountain ranges one by one
Rise red beneath our harvest moon
Rise red beneath our harvest moon
When we look up
the mountain ranges rise beneath,
the moon and fields are white
The people are heroes now, the behemoth pulls the peasants' plow
The people are heroes now, the behemoth pulls the peasants' plow
The people are heroes now, the behemoth pulls the peasants' plow
The people are heroes now, the behemoth pulls the peasants' plow
The people are heroes now, the behemoth pulls the peasants' plow
The people are heroes now, the behemoth pulls the peasants' plow
