FIRST AID KIT – UNIVERSAL SOLDIER (BUFFY-SAINTE MARIE)

This protest song was written in the early sixties by Buffy Sainte-Marie. It’s about individual responsibility for war. We wanted to sing this song because, unfortunately, what Buffy sang about at her time is still is so true today and will probably be so for years to come. We changed the lyrics a bit to make it more relevant to today’s society.

For a surreal listening experience, play the above video and the one below simultaneously.
