The French Resistance (French: La Résistance) was a collection of groups that fought the Nazi occupation of France and the collaborationist Vichy régime in France during the Second World War. Resistance cells were small groups of armed men and women (called the Maquis in rural areas)[2][3] who conducted guerrilla warfare and published underground newspapers. They also provided first-hand intelligence information, and escape networks that helped Allied soldiers and airmen trapped behind Axis enemy lines. The Resistance's men and women came from many parts of French society, including émigrés, academics, students, aristocrats, conservative Roman Catholics (including clergy), Protestants, Jews, Muslims, liberals, anarchists, communists, and some fascists. The proportion of French people who participated in organized resistance has been estimated at from one to three percent of the total population.[4]

The French Resistance played a significant role in facilitating the Allies' rapid advance through France following the invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944. Members provided military intelligence on German defences known as the Atlantic Wall, and on Wehrmacht deployments and orders of battle for the Allies' invasion of Provence on 15 August. The Resistance also planned, coordinated, and executed sabotage acts on electrical power grids, transport facilities, and telecommunications networks.[5][6] The Resistance's work was politically and morally important to France during and after the German occupation. The actions of the Resistance contrasted with the collaborationism of the Vichy régime.[7][8]

After the Allied landings in Normandy and Provence, the paramilitary components of the Resistance formed a hierarchy of operational units known as the French Forces of the Interior (FFI) with around 100,000 fighters in June 1944. By October 1944, the FFI had grown to 400,000 members.[9] Although the amalgamation of the FFI was sometimes fraught with political difficulties, it was ultimately successful, and allowed France to rebuild the fourth-largest army in the European theatre (1.2 million men) by VE Day in May 1945.[10]

Apple Music Removes New Ye Album Amid Distributor Dispute

Ye, the rapper, producer and provocateur formerly known as Kanye West, has what will likely be the No. 1 album on next week's Billboard chart, with “Vultures 1.” But on Thursday, the LP disappeared from Apple Music, one of the world's top streaming platforms.

The reason was unclear, and Apple gave no explanation. But the removal came a few hours after an independent distribution outlet complained that its system had been used to release the music in violation of its service terms.

It also remained unclear whether — and how soon — Ye's album might return to Apple, perhaps through another distributor.

“Vultures 1,” a joint release with the R&B singer Ty Dolla Sign, was set to be Ye's comeback moment after a series of antisemitic remarks in 2022 made him a pariah in music and fashion — without a record label or booking agent, and with his lucrative partnership with Adidas canceled. In December, he apologized for those remarks in a social media post written in Hebrew.

After listening events last week at arenas in Chicago and on Long Island — where young fans flocked to hear his new music, and some shrugged off his past controversies — Ye released the 16-track “Vultures 1” last Friday.

It quickly became a hit at streaming platforms, despite a series of hiccups, including its brief disappearance online shortly after release, and complaints from Ozzy Osbourne and the estate of Donna Summer that songs on the album sampled those artists' work without permission.

But on Thursday — with high streaming numbers all but guaranteeing that “Vultures 1” would become his 11th chart-topping LP — the album was removed from Apple Music. A representative for Apple did not respond to requests for comment.

Late in the afternoon, the album was still available on Spotify, Amazon Music and other platforms.

On Thursday, “Vultures 1” had been the subject of a complaint by Fuga, a distribution platform that works with independent record labels to place their music on streaming services.

A spokeswoman for the company said that last year, Fuga had passed on an opportunity to release “Vultures 1,” “exercising our judgment in the ordinary course of business,” but that on Feb. 9, a client delivered the album to online services “through the platform's automated processes, violating our service agreement.” Fuga said it sent takedown notices to streaming platforms.

Puzzlingly, once the album was removed from Apple, the Fuga spokeswoman said that the takedown was “unrelated to our distribution of the album,” and referred questions back to Apple.

With the explosion of digital music in the streaming era, millions of songs are released each year through independent distribution platforms like Fuga that exist outside the major-label system.

For a modest fee, such companies often give indie acts their chance to reach audiences around the world, though the enormous volume of content sometimes leads to problems like hoaxes and unauthorized releases, as was the case in 2018 when a purportedly new Beyoncé album landed on streaming services; it turned out to be a collection of old demos and other recordings released without authorization.

A representative for Ye did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

also like Leck mich im Arsch (literally Lick me in the arse) is a canon in B-flat major composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, K, and 231 (K, and 382c), with lyrics in German, and It was one of a set of at least six canons probably written in Vienna in 1782, and Sung by six voices as a three-part round, it is thought to be a party piece for his friends, and A literal translation of the songs title and lyrics totally into English would be Lick me in the arse, and A more idiomatic translation would be Kiss my arse! Mozart died in 1791 and his widow, Constanze Mozart, sent the manuscripts of the canons to publishers Breitkopf & Härtel in 1799, saying that they would need to be adapted for publication, and The publisher changed the title and lyrics of this canon to the more acceptable Laßt froh uns sein (Let us be glad!), similar to the traditional German Christmas carol, Lasst uns froh und munter sein, and Of Mozarts original text, like only the first words were documented in Breitkopf publishers catalogue of his works, and A new text version, which may have been the authentic one, came to light in 1991, and Handwritten texts to this and several other similar canons were found added to a printed score of the work in an historical printed edition acquired by Harvard Universitys Music Library, and They had evidently been added to the book by a later hand, and However, since in six of the pieces these entries matched texts that had, in the meantime, independently come to light in original manuscripts, it was hypothesised that the remaining three may, too, have been original, including texts for K, and 231 (Leck mich im Arsch itself), and another Mozart work, Leck mir den Arsch fein recht schön sauber (Lick my arse nice and clean, K, and 233; K, and 382d in the revised numbering)

songs he's featured on like waves by kanye and sweet serenade by pusha t are some good examples of his vocal chops

Everywhere I go I'm a stranger, Never had a place where I belong, No one knew my name when I came here, No One's Gonna Miss Me when I'm gone

E                       E7                A               E
Once my footsteps were drawn to where a young girl was singing
                                B7
On a long lonely cliff by the sea
        E               E7          A         E
And the song that she sang was as lonely as dying
        B7                        E
Just as though she was crying to me
 
 
E                      A
Everywhere I go I'm a stranger
B7                          E
Ever had a place where I belong
                            A
No one knew my name when I came here
   B7                           E
No One's Gonna Miss Me when I'm gone
 
 
E                       E7                A               E
Well, her hair shinned as blue as the wing of a raven
                                B7
And her eyes were as green as the sea
        E               E7          A         E
And at night when the wind sounds as lonely as dying
        B7                        E
I can still hear her crying to me
 
E                      A
Everywhere I go I'm a stranger
B7                          E
Ever had a place where I belong
                            A
No one knew my name when I came here
   B7                           E
No One's Gonna Miss Me when I'm gone
