You made the music even greater with those photos, congratulations, you've made a superb work by showing this kind of people.

May the white rose stay alive.

emily watson looks like sophie scholl

[ShahidMiller]

It's a little amusing that this video (which I quite like as a back drop for this piece) features so many luminaries or thought-to-be luminaries, and yet the track itself is named for a certified space-cadet nobody would take for enlightened! ... BoC's main themes seem to be either the dark and unnerving or neutral/wavering nostalgic; but some of their stuff has that transcendent quality too, like this. Dunno if they recognize it ...'Wish this song had more fitting title; who cares about Roden?

[mmaro85]

Mighty!

[HerrFOAD]

god you guys tal some shite enjoy the track ffs

[deichbeat]

what has knut hamsun in common with ossietzky or scholl?

[rooiee]

@deichbeat I guess you know yourself, asking that question. Would it not be more relevant asking, for instance, what do they have to do with Tenzing and Hillary? I think Hamsun, Scholl and Ossietzky share a very common story in different perspectives.

[deichbeat]

different perspectives....

when ossietzky got tortured and murdered in a german kz ,hansum charged him "playing" a martyr and justified the nessessarity of the camp (1936/hamsuns reaction to v.ossietzkys nobel award).

[rooiee]

@deichbeat Well then you see the obvious connection yourself. I like ambiguity, but perhaps you don't. People like Arendt helped the intellectual resolve along, all the while people like Hamsun contributed with personal and emotional catharsis.

The nobel prize in literature was given to Hamsun in 1920, a person who was an outspoken nazi but whose sympathies are not recognized in his writings. In 1944, Johannes V. Jensen received the same award; but his nazisympathies are only found in his texts.

[deichbeat]

too postmodern to me.

and hamsun wasn t a nazi (by the meaning of nationalsozialist) - more a sympathizer driven by anti-imperialism ,anti-communism ,anti-modernism and "blut und boden" literature.pick and read "markens grøde"(his nobel prize work) and you ll find many links to fascist ideals (culture vs. civilization , rousseauic vitalism and backward utopia)

[rooiee]

That's ok. Can't please everyone. I know Hamsun was not a nazi in any traditional sense, and Markens Grøde, which also happens to be my favourite book (by him at least) to me also proves that he sympathized more with "cultural" nazism and not so much ideological or political if it makes any sense. But I think Markens Grøde excells in it's absence of any given sympathy in that sense. It's anti-imperialist indeed, but it does not put anything "better" instead; simplicity at the most.

[deichbeat]

yep ,simplicity: nature ,hard work and role models (father as patriarch ,mother ,son) -the organic life- takes the "pain" of "unorganic" civilization away.

[MrMungaf]

@deichbeat This is easily the most erudite and civil comment thread on Youtube, even though I have no I've never read Hamsun.

[TheGroebel]

read at wikipedia... you find something about the Branch Davidians.... Amo Bishop Roden, George Rodens wife.... very interesting...

[soymiguel]

The white rose.

I'm just discovering this new 'space' that the music of Boards of Canda makes me live, in honor of some no-name states of mind.

Very important names are there, do you study philosophy?

[rooiee]

I've studied anthropology.

[TPEKHH]

low expectations of something religious that's sure it's right - sets itself apart

LOVELY!

[TPEKHH]

for me it's struck a balance between the business of the loop that has so much nervous energy but goes nowhere, the stronger intent but slightly mysterious fashioning of something out of stone (then something feathered is born) and the calm, blinkered

[TPEKHH]
