Terrifying, if you’re one of those who want to separate people by class or nation and stop them rejoicing in FREUDE!

In Sweden we wrote lyrics to help kids learn the months, so I see it more as a children’s song 🙂 https://youtu.be/XLFNdORmBhE

This is the first time I realized it’s also the eu anthem 🤣
