People Of The World :) The following quotes used in this song are from (what many agree) is the most influential piece of music in history - Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony - the last movement uses a very large chorus + soloists and is sung in german - many classical music fans are not familiar with the meaning of the piece or the text Beethoven used - putting words into Beethoven’s mouth here :) he really believed that we are here together on this planet to help each other and lift each other up to a higher purpose - because we are all in this together - not one person is better than another because of their social status, ethnicity, title or country - The ninth symphony was a gift to all of humanity and THAT is why it is played at important events! :) like the turn of the millennium :) "I will seize Fate by the throat. It will not wholly conquer me! Oh, how beautiful it is to live - and live a thousand times over!" - Ludwig Van Beethoven
