Shades of Anger
[2009]
Her performance of poems like ‘We Teach Life, Sir’ and ‘Shades of Anger’ went viral within days of its release. Her live readings offer a moving blend of poetry and music. Since releasing her first album, Rafeef has headlined prestigious performance venues across several countries with powerful readings on war, exile, gender and racism.
Rafeef’s debut ablum Hadeel is dedicated to Palestinian youth, who still fly kites in the face of F16 bombers, who still remember the names of their villages in Palestine and still hear the sound of Hadeel over Gaza.
About - Rafeef Ziadah
Although Ziadah began writing at a very early age, her first public performance was not until 2004, while studying at York University, Toronto, in reaction to an incident during a creative action demonstration.

Tell the People
(2016)
Album: Be Stronger
(I. Bisori/C. Pisanelli)
Si tratta di un brano di denuncia verso la precaria situazione dei rifugiati e dei migranti ai confini con l’Europa, bloccati tra la guerra dei loro paesi d’origine e le istituzioni di quelli che cercano di raggiungere.
I tre personaggi presenti nel videoclip sono collegati da un “filo rosso” e rappresentano il “non vedo”, il “non sento” e il “non parlo”, intesi come l’indifferenza che alberga in molti. Per questo gli Earth Beat Movement vogliono parlare alle persone (Tell The People) di questo problema e dare ad ognuno la prospettiva di chi questa indifferenza la vive ogni giorno. “Cominciare ad ascoltare, a vedere e quindi far sentire la propria voce è l’unico modo per far cadere tutte le barriere sia fisiche che morali” ha detto Irene Mistilla Bisori, cantante e autrice delle lyrics del brano.

Florence, Italy, 16 February 2024. A construction site for the building of yet another big, useless supermarket. A beam weighing twenty tons breaks, the construction site collapses and five workers remain under the rubble. Five more workers victims of capitalist profit: it happens every day, all over the world.
The lyrics of this song were written in 1968 by Pietro Bianconi, an Anarchist partisan who wrote a number of books about trade and workers’ struggles in the 1960/70s. The music was composed by Paolo Pietrangeli and Giovanna Marini. The song was also sung in a shorter version by Caterina Bueno for Dario Fo’s folksong show Ci ragiono e canto n° 2. Also sung by Gang in “Calibro 77” (2016).

Unspoken
Unspoken features on Greg Harper's album 'In It Together' released in 2019.
Veterans from many wars, over time, have rarely spoken about their war time ordeals and experiences. Many kept everything hidden from their families until they themselves passed away.
How could you explain what you had endured, or done, to someone with no concept of the reality of war.
It remained Unspoken.
WW1 slang meanings.
White Feather:
Given by ladies to men who hadn’t signed up to fight, as a symbol of cowardice.
Pear Drops:
Clouds of Poison gas.
Goodnight Kiss:
The last shot of the day by a waiting sniper, looking for a careless victim at dusk.

Capel-Le-Ferne
Capel-le-Ferne features on Greg Harper's album 'Well Spun Lies' released in 2011.
"At the beginning of July 2010 I visited the Battle of Britain memorial site, on the cliffs, at Capel-le-Ferne, near Folkstone, in Kent
It was just a couple of days before the annual ceremony, which was held to mark, and remember, the start of that battle in 1940.
As I stood there on the cliff edge looking out towards France, I tried to imagine what the remaining members of the' Few' might have been thinking, each time that they attended the event over the years. What thoughts did they have as the dignitaries spoke, as the band played, and the flypast went over their heads?
My song Capel-le-Ferne is what I imagine they might have been thinking, on that day, and maybe every other day, for the preceding 70 years.
Now in February 2024, 14 years after I wrote Capel-le-Ferne, Group Captain John Hemingway (aged 104) is the last remaining living member of the Few ."

Time for Heroes
Album: Up the Bracket (2002)
Scritta da Carl Barât & Pete Doherty.
Album prodotto da Mick Jones (The Clash, Big Audio Dynamite)
Il 1 Maggio del 2000 (ed anche l'anno successivo) la capitale inglese venne invasa da una partecipatissima protesta popolare anticapitalista che sfociò in una giornata di rivolte e di feroce repressione poliziesca.
Protagonisti delle proteste sono i WOMBLES (White Overalls Movement Building Libertarian Effective Struggles) gruppo anarchico e anticapitalista che si distingueva per il loro abbigliamento bianco, simile alle Tute Bianche italiane.
Nonostante gli scontri violenti, alcuni manifestanti (i “ragazzi eleganti” della rivolta) mantennero sempre un aspetto impeccabile.
Pete Doherty ha raccontato di essere passato in quell'occasione accanto a una guardia in assetto antisommossa con tanto di scudo di plastica. Pete usò lo scudo come specchio per... (Continues)

Virginia
Virginia ( Traditional )
As sung by Bob Fox - 2011
The song Virginny, dates to the 18th century (pre-American Independence) when British convicts were transported to Virginia. After the American Revolutionary War, the British government began to ship convicts to Australia instead, with over 160,000 convicts transported across an 80 year period. Even the convicts who hadn’t been transported for life—perhaps like this song’s narrator—rarely made it back to Britain; few of those with seven or fourteen year sentences could afford the return fare.

Proud Boys, Proud of What?
(2020)
Album: Generals & Soldiers
I nazisti sono sempre la stessa feccia dell'umanità, dall'Illinois al Regno Unito, dall'Italia all'Ungheria. Quindi anche se questi Proud Boys non sono esattamente quelli che in Ungheria organizzano il "Giorno dell'Onore" vorrei dedicare - per quel che serve - questa ed altre canzoni in questo percorso a Ilaria Salis, antifascista italiana rinchiusa nelle galere ungheresi per aver protestato contro una manifestazione neonazista.
A Ilaria Zerocalcare ha dedicato sulle pagine di Internazionale una bellissima storia a fumetti dal titolo “In Fondo al Pozzo”.
