- Between friends and commenters asking, I have been persuaded to cover Hanging Tree. But to protect against Copyright claims I have made minor adjustments to the lyrics to fit into the theme of the Second Civil War.
This is a pretty spooky song which is fitting for the month of Spooktober, When I was working on it and adding the ambiance I was asked the pertinent question of "Are you trying to garner the attention of 3 Letter Agencies?" To which my answer was: "What are they gonna do?" Well we will find out😅! Besides, I've done a song for Dixie, and at least one song implied for other regions with one coming up for the Rockies, so why leave Vermont and Connecticut out? Hopefully Fictional Politics that'll get me in trouble aside, I hope y'all enjoy!
Lyrics Below.
You'll note the beginning starts with a large amount of lore text that is going much too fast to read, it's intended for to catch your eye and bring you here, but you could also pause the video and read if you'd rather.
Lore:
See stickied comment for the text dump! There's character Limits here!
Outside of the lore dump, the idea behind this song, is that this is the unofficial anthem of the New England or Northeastern Rebels fighting against the Federal government who successfully suppressed secession elections for their states.
Lyrics:
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
They strung up a man
They say he murdered three.
But Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
At the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
A dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
At the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
But I told you to run,
I’m sure we'll both be free.
Strange things do happen here
(I) Guess no stranger would it be
That we meet at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wearing a necklace of rope,
You’re Side by side with me.
Some Strange things do happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
At the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Strange men they came with guns
To capture you and me.
Strange things do happen here
No stranger would it be
For us to meet at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
If don’t stand up,
Then you’ll end up just like me
But Strange things do happen here
No stranger would it be
If you meet at midnight
At the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
We all now stand up
And soon we will be free.
Strange things do happen here
No stranger would it be
Than to string them up at midnight
In the hanging tree. - เพลง

As Spooktober is well on it's way This fun song features Haunting ambience, as well as haunting imagery. I hope that the style isn't too jarring for folks after the tone/pace of Bella Ciao, or the Irish songs, but in any circumstance, I've gotten lots of requests for this one. The only thing I worry about in hindsight is drawing the ire of spooky 3-letter agencies. I hope y'all enjoy!
Lore:
Immediately after the Secession Crisis began, several state legislatures voted to leave the Union. Many votes succeeded, leading to the independence of Texas, Dixie, The Great Plains, and much of the Rocky Mountains. The states where votes failed suffered from allegations of rigged elections that prompted violence and protests across the Midwest, Southwest, and New England
The National Guard of many states was called in to deal with the protestors and rioters. After a little over a month, multiple US Army and Marine units were recalled from abroad and stationed on American soil under the Insurrection Act. Riots and unrest became uncontrollable in many urban centers leading to effective "Quarantine Zones," where the Federal Government decided to cut its losses and abandon trying to enforce law or order. Unsurprisingly, this decision was neither a quick nor well-thought-out course of action, and many "Unrest Zones" merely bred more unrest elsewhere.
After the Secession vote in Virginia turned out inconclusive, many counties in the state decided to leave the shackles of the Federal Government and join the Appalachian Block that was forming around West Virginia and Kentucky. The inconclusive vote was used as a pretense for the deployment of the US Armed Forces to "Liberate" rebel parts of Virginia that "disregarded legitimate election results." The result has been a conflict that is drawing in the Dixie Block and Stirred unrest among the nominally loyal Midwest States.
But with US forces finally off their streets and aiming guns at someone else, the dissidents in the Northeast, subject to Martial Law and brutal crackdowns just months ago, are fed up and finally see hope in taking action again. Many Urban Centers were locked down; so the Northeast Rebellion began in the low-density counties and thrived in the underground of Boston, Concord, and Philadelphia. With anger targeted towards politicians seen as traitors and the still fresh memories of brutal occupation, Unrest brews while humming a familiar tune...
Wow. I started reading this with the intent of it being generic _America upset/ South rebels again_ . By the end, I found myself actually invested in the lore and politics. Fantastic world building, very well thought through.
you could possibly turn this into a book series and it would probably sell like hot cakes.
What is the secession crisis?
The senario behind these songs are very well thought out and fit very well with the "9 nations of north america" theory that has real effects on our realworld politics.
I haven’t heard of it, tell me more
@@BearCavalryWasTaken Give these a watch

Tbh normally I’m not a fan of Whatifalthis (mostly because he’s a bit….odd with some of his claims and how he relies on Great Man Theory often) but honestly his 9 nation videos were decent and got me thinking about it a lot more.
That's what I'm saying I went back and read the backstop in the vid and it's bone chillingly similar to what's been going on in regards to the Texas situation currently happening and the governors who have signed backing tekas and saying they would be willing to send national guard troops to the boarder
When the bullets start getting loaded really got to me, got actual chills, great job!
My God I just noticed the water tower, this is very haunting for me as I live right next to one in the region this song speaks of
Got a water tower like that where i live too
"Necklace of rope" fits the song way more than "necklace of hope"
Funny enough in the Hunger Games universe the line was necklace of rope but they changed it to necklace of hope I guess for moral reasons
@@LaneCorbett Plutarch mentioned he changed it himself because Katniss said “rope” and he thought “hope” would have been better to broadcast
The original line in the Hunger Games was necklace of rope, but it was changed to necklace of hope to make it less depressing and just for a clever play on words.
@@FlyingAlfredoSaucerthere's also a pretty metal meaning coming from describing being executed as "hope" aka better to die for having fought for a better world than to live under oppression
Kentucky born here thank you for the song ❤
Tennessee better
I’m really loving the lore that this channel has, can’t wait for the song!
The build up to the integration of Janissa's vocals was perfectly executed! Great cover.
As far as concern about the alphabet people should go, I'm sure Phillip Dick would've been in a lot of trouble if lore were illegal. You should be totally safe under the 1st amendment. They haven't gone after me for any of the sketchy things I have done.
insane level of quality. I love how this sounds so much more subdued and somber than a lot of your other songs, lacking the sort of underlying energy they usually have. there is no talk of glorious revolution or freedom, just the simple demonstrative tragedy of a man hanging from a tree.
It'd be awesome to see you adapt some old Florida folk songs, since my home state has something of a rebellious streak nowadays similar to Texas and some great tunes to back up that sentiment. I could 100% imagine songs like The Everglades or Tallahassee Lassie being adapted into quasi-separatist chants, or maybe even Cuban songs like El Chacal (discussing Che Guevara's tyranny and bloodlust) could be adapted to English and reworked to talk about the tyranny of the federal government in this timeline.
regardless, amazing work as usual!
That guitar solo at the end
Love it man, been waiting for this song for a bit and I’m happy I waited
Every Man a King
This is the best channel I have stumbled upon
man this song is just amazing, amazing work
This makes me feel against patriotic against dictators with unrest
Could you do Chester or Green mountain boys too for New England?
Need an extended version of this song
So where did you get the background picture. It’s pretty well done and I’d quite like to see what else the artist has done
Definitely a great rendition!
Excellent
Woooooooo
Id love to see and extended version of this
Do Nachts steht hunger starr in unserm traum 🙏
That would be beautiful! I’d like to hear “Rise up dead man” or “Sinner’s Blues” by Port Sulphur band
I agree
YES
Yeah I’ll go.
Maybe you could do a rendition of Virginias a Hard Road to Travel?
*Background*
It’s been five, no six years since the government left the west coast retreated east Mississippi River, and north of the Mason-Dixon Line. They said it was because of the riots. But I know it’s because they had the strongest power base in that region.
It only took a month for the West Coast Coalition form. A little less than a month for Southern Plutocracy to form. Then Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Arkansas to form a confederation of states known as “The Free States of America”.
The center of the nation is a no-man’s-land of chaos and destruction. All the way from Utah, to Missouri and as far north as Montana and Minnesota is just infested with warlords and criminals.
It’s up to you, a lone Sheriffs Deputy, or mercenary, or survivor to bring the former United States back together. Whether be it by peace and cooperation, or by blood and terror.
*Factions*
West Coast Alliance: An Alliance of west coast states and regions that formed after the election of 2028. States that formed are: California, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and parts of Washington, and Idaho. They believe in equality in everything. Leans towards socialism, and Libertarianism.
Free States: A confederation of southern states that try to hold onto old American ideals of “Equality, Freedom, and Democratic-Republicanism”, but lately has been straying from there ideals.
Southern Plutocracy: Multiple Millionaires fled south during the election due to the more relaxed labor laws. Uses a mix of mercenary, and former military forces, as well as militarized police forces to keep its population in line.
Remnants of America: Remnants of the former United States of America has been held up in the Northeast, and as far west as Wisconsin and as far south as Cairo Kentucky. Means to re-conquer the Continent of America by force if they have to.
*Ideology*
WCA: Is mostly based off of a blend of socialistic-libertarianism. Representative Parliamentary Committee.
Free States: Based off of Representative-Democracy. Has three branches of government; An Upper House(Legislative), a Lower House(Judiciary), and President(Executive).
SP: Is a Representative-Authoritarian form of government that prioritizes the needs of the wealthy over the needs of the poor. Uses force to get what they want.
US remnants: Is a flawed Representative-Democracy that prioritizes the needs of those that have power to keep it. Has become more authoritarian the longer they don’t conquer the continent for a second time.
*Governmental Philosophy*
WCA: Wants to have everyone become the same economic class, and makes those that oppose them “Disappear”. UN claims that they violate several civil rights, and international laws. Tho none have been proven.
SP: Believes that everyone different from their beliefs are inferior to them. Has strayed close to xenophobic-racism. Has been proven to commit warcrimes, and use terroristic acts to get what they want.
Free States: Want to re-unite as much of the former USA as they possibly can via peaceful means. Has a more modest view of those whom differ from the norm(IE, they dgaf about race, religion, or gender identity to a point). Tries its best to uphold to international standards to warfare. Has been accused of crimes against humanity by the Southern Plutocracy.
US Remnants: Wants to make the US whole again, but only to those whom they deem worthy of it.(IE become overwhelmed by old world ideals of race, gender, and religion). Has been accused of war crimes by the Free States.
*Contested Areas*
Mississippi River: Areas along the Mississippi River are contested by Free State forces, Southern Plutarch forces, and far-western US government remnants.
Sonoran Desert: Cast areas of the Sonoran Desert are contested by Free State, and WCA forces over water ways. Heavy fighting along river ways, and damns. Seems to be in a gridlock.
Central US: the Central United States has become a “Dark Zone” of forces. Typically only warlords, and zelatiouse armies fight over scraps of medicine, food, and water. Rumors have it that a Christo-Fascist force is gaining ground and wiping out warlords. Might be a problem later.
*Creator Comments*
Hope y’all like what I’ve cooked up here. Feel free to ask questions about it, and to chat amongst yourselves about it too! Also I don’t wish for this to happen, I just wanted to make a funny haha scenario.
