1968: Primavera di Praga
Antiwar Songs Blog
Sono i tempi della contestazione, della strage di Piazza Fontana con l’avvio della “strategia della tensione”, dell'”autunno caldo” del 1969, del tentativo di golpe fascista da parte del repubblichino Junio Valerio Borghese (8 dicembre 1970). Inutile ricordare quello che sta accadendo nel mondo, dalla guerra nel Vietnam in pieno svolgimento al Maggio Francese. Truppe del […]

Behold, you have driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth - genesis 4:14

“‘Citizen Ship’ is just a song talking about what it was like in 1968, when Ivan Kral escaped from Czechoslovakia to America and Patti Smith escaped from New Jersey to New York City. It’s when I met Robert Mapplethorpe ― I mean, it doesn’t matter what it’s about. We all have personal things from 1968, certain impressions ― at least some of us do… It’s just a reflection.

Chanson italienne – Primavera di Praga – Francesco Guccini – 1970
PRINTEMPS DE PRAGUE est une chanson de Francesco Guccini qui fut écrite et chantée deux ans après l'événement qu'elle rapporte. Une chanson en mémoire du jeune militant communiste tchèque Jan Palach. Oui, mon ami Lucien l'âne, et sans doute pourras-tu le confirmer, toi qui passes les frontières humaines sans que nul ne s'en aperçoive et qui fut à Prague en ces temps-là... Oui, on peut être communiste et partisan de la liberté, oui, on pouvait être communiste et résistant à l'intérieur de l'URSS, de la Chine (et aujourd'hui encore), de la Yougoslavie, de Cuba... On peut être communiste et pour cette raison précisément, être désespéré par le régime imposé par le Parti Communiste, par un État communiste, par un régime communiste et être désespéré car ce régime est purement et simplement un régime capitaliste d’État et n'a donc...

The Old Man's Back Again (Dedicated to the Neo-Stalinist Regime)
[1969]
Album "Scott 4"
"Scott Walker’s passionate leftist political beliefs had been no secret by the time “The Old Man’s Back Again” was written and recorded, but the event which prompted one of his most pointed songs found him tackling not a right-wing dictatorship (as he later would with “The Electrician”) but a left-wing one. The subtitle – “Dedicated to the Neo-Stalinist Regime”) specifically refers to the repressive Czech government that overthrew the Prague Spring era in 1968 with Soviet military help, the ‘old man’ himself being the ghost of Stalin returned to a horrific new life. “The Old Man’s Back Again” found Walker blending a symbolic lyric of destruction and death with a striking combination of rumbling, prominent funk bass and a post- Ennio Morricone western-orchestral arrangement, stabbing strings courtesy Peter Knight and mournful, almost Russian chorale-tinged wordless...

Parole e musica di Karel Kryl
Nell'album "Rakovina" [1969]

Testo trovato qui: http://www.lyricon.net/
Ryszard Siwiec (Polish pronunciation: [ˈrɨʂart ˈɕivjɛt͡s]; 7 March 1909 — 12 September 1968) was a Polish accountant and former Home Army resistance member who was the first person to commit suicide by self-immolation in protest against the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia. Although his act was captured by a motion picture camera, Polish press omitted any mention of the incident, which was successfully suppressed by the communist authorities. Siwiec prepared his plan alone, and few people realized what he tried to achieve with his sacrifice. His story remained mostly forgotten till the fall of communism, when it was told in a documentary film by Polish director Maciej Drygas. Since then, Siwiec has been posthumously awarded a number...
