Al Stewart -- The Last Day of June 1934

"I sit here now by the banks of the Rhine
Dipping my feet in the cold stream of time
And I know I'm a dreamer, I know I'm out of line
With the people I see everywhere

The couples pass by me, they're looking so good
Their arms round each other, they head for the woods
They don't care who Ernst Roehm was, no reason they should
Just a shadow that hangs in the air
But I thought I saw him cross over the hill
With a whole ghostly army of men at his heel
And struck in the moment it seemed to be real like before
On the last day of June 1934"

1. Interesting Tune

Mentioning Ernst Röhm in a song has to be a first!

2. The whole point of the song, according to Stewart.....

...is to point out how people took so little notice of the massacre/purge that happened on the Night of Long Knives. The song is on his album "Past, Present, and Future"; several of the songs on the album talk about historical stuff. "Road to Moscow" tells the story of WW2 on the Russian Front from the perspective of a Red Army foot soldier who serves loyally for the duration, but gets shipped to the gulag because he was suspected of collusion with Nazis.
