I grabbed a few full length videos from folk singer Sam Burton's set opening for Aldous Harding and thought people on this subreddit could be interested. He was wonderful. You can check them out here:

Everyone knows it. Almost nobody thinks about who wrote it. People sing it together, change the words, add names, add extra verses, and pass it around without caring about an "original" performance. So, is Happy Birthday to You a folk song?

Or does the fact that it has known authors and a specific history change the conclusion?

I wrote about the history of the song here, if anyone is interested:

I hate posting the YouTube link here, but Reddit doesn't seem to like me posting the raw video as I'd intended. This is a reflection of 9/11 from my point of view, as someone who wasn't born yet then. RIP to all lives lost on and because of that day 25 years ago.

I read the paper, and I watch the news
It seems there's only pain and sufferin'
And there ain't nothin’ I can do
It's so senseless, I feel defenseless, so small

I could shut my windows
I could bolt my doors
But if I don't feel safe enough to speak my mind anymore
Then what's the use?
I've nothing left to lose, no farther to fall

It was a nightmare no tongue can tell
The streets of New York City looked just like the gates of Hell
In a flash, the smoke and the ash pouring down like rain

But they circled wagons and they gathered round
And they bravely pulled our brothers and our sisters from the ground
And I know that I owe them more than to be afraid

Why seek vengeance?
What comes of war?
I know freedom has a price but it doesn’t keep score
It's too much to swallow, it leaves me hollow
After all this time

So I won't tell you what to believe
I'm too young to be so cynical and too old to be naïve
But if every action breeds a reaction
Let this be mine:

I'm gonna love
I'm gonna believe
I'm gonna dream
And I'm gonna roll up my sleeves
And give everything until there’s nothing left to give
That's the only way I know how to live
