A young and unknown musician in Germany has created a song against hate and enmity in memory of the victims of the Paris attacks, which quickly spread on Facebook and gained many fans among German speakers. The artist, residing in Bavaria, "Axel Dill," has only released one album that few know of, but the song he performed last Saturday expressing his feelings about the Paris attacks, accompanied by his guitar, has been shared over 160,000 times on Facebook in recent days, with thousands of users leaving their messages beneath it. Axel Dill recorded this simple black-and-white video at his home and published it on his Facebook page last Saturday. He writes about this video: "I made a small song after watching the football match on TV last night... I was breathless when I heard the sound of the explosion. I think everyone felt it beneath their skin that it was not a small firecracker or joke..." The German singer and composer concluded his message with a wish for peaceful coexistence, tolerance, love, and nobility, despite all the bad events. In the song, Axel Dill sings: "Haven't you learned anything? No one here has explained to you what the rules are? You have to understand and comprehend the game that this world belongs to no one. You are standing there, and we are standing here. Out of fear, no one can see clearly. You are angry, we can understand that, but going down this path filled with hate does not solve the problem at all. Fear turns into hate, hate into war until humanity is brought to its knees until everything here explodes, and everyone loses their mind. All this has happened before, and I don't want to just watch everything here ignite. I am more afraid than I want to be silent. It’s just a song, but I don’t sing it alone because like John Lennon, I believe 'the world will be one.' The time we have is just borrowed. Do we really want to spend it this way? What has to happen for you to see that the situation is bad and that it can only be fixed with solidarity... It’s just a song, but I don’t sing it alone. You can spread hate, fuel fear, but in this battle, you will lose because we, like John Lennon, believe 'the world will be one.'
