Phantom of Aleppoville

Phantom of Aleppoville
[2016]
Parole e musica di Benjamin Clementine
Un brano poi incluso nell'album "I Tell a Fly", pubblicato nel 2017

Una riflessione a partire dalla propria esperienza, quando da bambino e da ragazzo Benjamin Clementine – londinese trapiantato a Parigi, dove visse per strada molti anni - fu più volte vittima di violenze. E dal piano personale e particolare il grande artista inglese passa a quello mondiale, universale: le vittime delle guerre sono vittime di bulli, paesi potenti e tracotanti come gli USA e la Gran Bretagna bullizzano altri paesi: "Aleppoville is a place where many are bullied if not all, but no one understands nor see why; Phantom." (BC su Rockshot Music Magazine)

"I wouldn’t say it’s just to do with Syria. It is also to do with my own life and talking about me getting bullied by all sorts of people… I certainly am very fortunate that I am not experiencing what the people... (Continues)

Escusè muà pur mon franzè
Riccardo Venturi, 11-11-2018 20:41

Translator's Note. I thought at first about translating the parts in broken French into sort of Gallicized lingo, translating into English only the parts in correct French and, obviously, those in Sicilian. This would result, however, in something really awkward. So, I decided to translate the whole lyrics into standard English. Rather obviously, such a translation cannot reproduce the special flavour of the original; I think this could be only made by translating it into French.

Rank & File

Rank & File
[2018]
Parole e musica di Moses Sumney
Nell'EP "Black in Deep Red, 2014"

Canzone ispirata alle proteste seguite all'omicidio del diciottenne nero Michael Brown, avvenuto il 9 agosto 2014 a Ferguson, Missouri, ad opera dell'agente di polizia Darren Wilson, un bianco. Sulle prime la corte di Saint Louis decise di non incriminare nemmeno l'assassino, facendo ricorso ad una procedura molto sommaria, irrituale, che scatenò la rabbia della comunità nera. Alle proteste lo Stato oppose non solo la polizia in assetto antisommossa ma addirittura squadre speciali SWAT pesantemente armate, militarizzando la città e dichiarando il coprifuoco.
Poi l'inchiesta fu avocata dalle autorità federali, le quali comunque sentenziarono che Wilson aveva agito per legittima difesa.
Curiosamente però la città di Ferguson ha accettato di pagare un risarcimento di 1,5 milioni di dollari alla famiglia di Brown...

Pigs, Sheep and Wolves

Pigs, Sheep and Wolves
[2000]
Parole e musica di Paul Simon
Nell'album "You're the One", recentemente ripresa in "In the Blue Light" (2018), featuring Winton Marsalis




Una fattoria degli animali di orwelliana memoria, dove i grassi porcelli dominano sugli altri animali, primi fra tutti le miti pecore... In lontananza, sulla collina, i lupi, i reietti della società... Una pecora, allontanatasi dal gregge, viene trovata barbaramente uccisa, scuoiata... Al lupo! Al lupo!... Ma siamo proprio certi che siano loro i predatori? O forse anch'essi sono solo dei capri espiatori?

I maiali, per restare al potere, per restare grossi e grassi, hanno bisogno che le pecore abbiano paura dei lupi, ma soni i porci stessi a macellarle senza che loro nemmeno se ne avvedano...

The Old Orange Flute

Anonymous
The Old Orange Flute è una canzone popolare irlandese, presumibilmente nata in ambienti unionisti alla fine del XIX secolo; secondo la versione inglese di Wikipedia la prima testimonianza scritta del testo risale al 1907.
L'autore del testo non sarebbe comunque identificabile con certezza.
Prima della guerra civile nell'Ulster, alla fine degli anni Sesssanta del XX secolo, i toni leggeri della canzone l'avevano resa popolare anche nel campo opposto; ne fanno fede le versioni dei Clancy Brothers e dei Dubliners.

A note from Barbra :

This collection of songs reflects what’s been on my mind lately.

These are troubling times, and I felt compelled to add my voice to the dialogue some of us have been having. Many of the fundamental principles of democracy and freedom we’ve always taken for granted – freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of expression – are eroding at an alarming rate. Even basic human decency appears to be melting away faster than the polar ice caps. I wanted to write and sing about some of these things… not only to convey my concerns, but also to state my belief that, if we remain vigilant to the truth, things can eventually turn around.

The Ballad of Jean Charles De Menezes
Canzone suonata da Roger Waters durante il tour mondiale di The Wall. Inserita nella scaletta a cavallo tra Another Brick in The Wall pt.2 e Mother.

La ballata narra della storia di Jean Charles de Menezes, un brasiliano ucciso erroneamente dalla polizia londinese, perché pensato colpevole degli attentati alla metropolitana nel luglio del 2005 in cui persero la vita 52 persone.

Freedom Walk

Freedom Walk
[1980]
Scritta da Billy Jones (1949-1995), chitarrista, voce e membro fondatore degli Outlaws, morto suicida nel 1995.
Nell'album "Ghost Rider" che giustamente si apre con la cover della mitica "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky" scritta nel 1949 da Stan Jones.

Un brano southern rock sicuramente antimilitarista ma in chiave antifederale, con esplicito invito a non pagare le tasse perchè contribuiscono a finanziare le guerre degli USA... Chissà se veniva prima il tipico sentimento antigovernativo sudista od un autentico spirito pacifista?!?

Heaven

Heaven
[1984]
Scritta da Richard e Tim Butler
Nell'album "Mirror Moves"

"Heaven" is not quite what it seems. Despite its title, this song from the 1984 album Mirror Moves is far from a testament of faith. The gravity of its lyrics is lightened by an addictive beat that drew throngs of fans onto the dance floor whenever it played. Tim Butler, the band's co-founder and bassist, told us the meaning of "Heaven": "It's about planes flying over ready to drop bombs, nuclear bombs: 'And I'm standing on ice when I say that I don't hear planes.' It's sort of strange that people would dance to it and stuff with a happy vibe, when it's quite a heavy song." (Songfacts)

Grazie a Riccardo Pandolfi, conduttore di Weekend Revolution su RAI Radio2, per avermi fatto riscoprire questo pezzo immortale, icona degli anni 80.

Di fatto, riguarda le vittime del colonialismo di ogni tempo, in qualsiasi parte del mondo".

"Negli ultimi quindici anni abbiamo girato tutto il mondo, portando con noi - città dopo città - un pezzo di Palestina", ha spiegato il Trio Joubran: "Vogliamo onorare la lotta delle popolazioni indigene di tutto il mondo, e affermare - per mezzo dell'arte - che le relazioni tra popoli, culture e territori sopravvivono alla storia".

Jalacy "Screamin Jay" Hawkins: I Put a Spell on You

Jalacy
[1956]
Parole e musica di Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Dal omonimo single "I Put a Spell on You"
Presente anche nell'album "At Home with Screamin' Jay Hawkins" (Okeh/Epic) del 1958.
Il testo da Genius Lyrics

(Aoh Rì, te la faccio io 'na fattura, te la faccio! :)

La versione originale di Hawkins non ebbe il successo che ottennero invece molte delle versioni interpretate da altri artisti. Nel 1965, quella di Nina Simone giunse al 23º posto della chart Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs di Billboard e al 49º posto nella Official Singles Chart (poi 28°, per la riedizione del 1969). Nel 1981 l'attore Tim Curry nel suo album Simplicity con un arrangiamento per solo organo ne realizza una suggestiva cover, che per le sonorità gotiche spesso viene erroneamente attribuita alla colonna sonora del film Rocky Horror Picture Show di cui l'attore è protagonista.

Ingenting förändras av sej själv

Ingenting förändras av sej själv
Notes are by Mikael Wiehe on his website www.mikaelwiehe.se:

"Från 1968 och framåt var inte bara en tid av förbrödring och systerskap i kampen för en bättre värld eller en ständig marsch under röda fanor mot en hägrande framtid. Det var också en tid av djupa motsättningar, hätska diskussioner, våldsamma konflikter och bittra avsked till alla dem som inte delade idéerna, tron och idealen, det kunde vara familj, vänner eller arbetskamrater. "Ingenting förändras av sej själv" är en sådan adjö-sång till en av mina nära vänner som valde att gå en annan väg.

Jag hade lyssnat mycket på Neil Youngs "Harvest" innan jag skrev den."

"From 1968 and onwards there was not only a time of brotherhood and sisterhood in the struggle for a better world or a constant march under red banners against a looming future. It was also a time of deep contradictions, virulent discussions, violent conflicts, and bitter... (Continues)

Björn Afzelius: Måne över Corsica

Björn Afzelius: Måne över Corsica
Björn Afzelius wrote the following notes about his song "Måne över Corsica" in his 95 Sånger (95 Songs) book.

"Fransmännen betraktar Korsika som en sommarinvestering - en plats där man kan rumla och bära sej åt hur som helst under semestern. Man vill ha ren luft och rent vatten i havet, alltså byggs inga industrier - därav en massarbetslöshet på ön. Fransmännen tar t.o.m. med sej hotell- och restaurangpersonal från fastlandet, samt egna staber att sköta tennisbanorna och campingplatserna. När säsongen är över försvinner såväl folk som pengar, och korsikanerna får hanka sej fram best de kan till nästa sommar. Dette har lett till etablerandet av den militära motståndsrörelsen FNLC, som under vinterhalvåret spränger franska semesteranläggningar, restauranger och resbyråer i luften. När jag upptäckte dessa missförhållanden gav texten sej själv"

Souldier
[2016]
Parole e musica di Jeanne Louise Galice, detta Jain
Title track del suo ultimo album, pubblicato nel 2018

Mateen era un islamico radicalizzato e un omofobo.
