The Path To Freedom (ft. Charlie Chaplin)

Liberty Will Never Perish

so i thought i was being super original scoring my own music over this in dramatic fashion, but there's like a million of these floating around out there. So yeah, here's mine. not sure we can sample, score, montage, or otherwise perpetuate this enough, anyway.
speech: the great dictator, charlie chaplin.
music: me

we have lost the way

The Final Speech from The Great Dictator, 
Charlie Chaplin.
________________
I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost…

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.


To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish…

Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!

In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

"A Sid set is like riding a wave—rising from deep, hypnotic grooves to underground cuts, classic house to Afro-Latin magic—where no two nights are ever the same. With flawless precision and an instinct for reading the room, Sid shapes an immersive flow, his signature vibe pulsing as sound, space, and energy become one."

Sid Vaga is a French DJ and producer based in New York City's Lower East Side. Since taking to the decks in 1999, he's brought his infectious blend of House, Afro-Latin, funk, and deep grooves to clubs and festivals across the globe—from Berlin to Colombia, Morocco to Miami.
Raised in Paris, Sid soaked up sounds from his older brother’s record collection: fusion jazz, disco-funk, Afrobeat, Brazilian, Latin and early Hip Hop. It shaped his ear for rhythm and texture—where even silence or vinyl crackle becomes part of the groove. That early curiosity turned into a passion for moving dancefloors with soulful, percussive, and genre-blurring sets.
Sid’s vibe has lit up EXIT Festival's Urban Bug Stage in Serbia, Châlet in Berlin, We Love Summer in Morocco, and a closing set at BPM Festival in Mexico. In NYC, he’s left his mark on iconic venues like Cielo, Le Bain, Pacha, Panther Room, and LOVE. 

A long-standing Turntables on the Hudson DJ and resident of the Six Degrees parties for over a decade, Sid’s driving force contributed in shaping the globally inspired sound that helped define a generation of New York nightlife. He’s shared stages with the likes of Roy Davis Jr., DJ Spinna, Nickodemus, Peter Kruder, and Funk D’Void, earning respect for his versatility and energy behind the decks.
Following a period of personal and creative recalibration, Sid returns with a more refined and mature approach to music. With renewed focus, he's diving deeper into production and embracing the full spectrum of styles that shaped him—bringing a richer, more intentional energy to both his studio work and DJ sets.

As a producer, Sid has released original tracks and remixes on respected labels including Kling Klong, King Street, Great Stuff, Unknown Season and Wonderwheel Recordings. Some of his releases have broken into the Beatport Top 10, and has been remixed by established names in the scene.
Driven by connection and craft, Sid Vaga’s sets are always a journey—rooted in rhythm, built for the body, and full of unexpected gems.
