The Story of Robert Bloom
Robert Bloom was one of the faces of the German revolution, the Frankfurt Parliament. His story captures so much of that move from the extreme euphoria of the spring days. And it all ends in tears for him because he's shot in Vienna having written this beautiful letter to his father. He articulates a wonderful moment in this song where people brought their private selves with them into this new work of revolutionary activism.
