The Bells Ring Anyway
(1991)

I wrote this song in 1991 shortly after the first Gulf War. It was finally recorded as the title track for our 2004 album. I love the sparseness of the piano, beautifully played by Steve Preston on a grand in a school in Oxford I no longer remember the name of. Thanks Steve.

Show Them the Way

Show Them the Way
(2020)
Written By Greg Kurstin & Stevie Nicks

Drums - Dave Grohl
Guitar - Dave Stewart


This song was written in 2008 but was only released in 2020.

Stevie Nicks has made her return with a video for her first solo song in six years, “Show Them The Way (feat. Dave Grohl).”

The powerful new protest song sounds like classic Stevie Nicks, and it was co-written with The Bird and the Bee’s Greg Kurstin. Dave Grohl also drums on the track, while Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart plays guitar. The accompanying Cameron Crow-created video comes packed with black-and-white photography of protests from the past and present.

“I hope that this song and its words will be seen as a prayer ~ a prayer for our country ~ a prayer for our world,” Nicks explains.

Boys Will Be Boys

Boys Will Be Boys
(2020)

Album: Future Nostalgia

The phrase “boys will be boys” is a mindset many have adopted to justify how society should not be startled by toxic behaviour from boys and nitpick on them because it is “just how they are.” Many have since spoken up about the double-standards of it and how it should be dismissed as it misguides young boys into thinking that they have the upper hand in life because of their gender.

In an interview with Vogue Australia published on March 21, 2020, Lipa briefly explained the mid-tempo track, saying:

For me [the growing pains of what it’s like to be a girl] was walking home from school and putting keys through my knuckles … So much of the human experience for women revolves around men; how they make us feel, whether that is good or bad. Girls have to go through so much. You cover up yourself to avoid confrontation from men, avoid sexual harassment, people throwing words or catcalling. We change our ways to fit somebody else’s lifestyle. It’s really sad.

You Can’t Be Neutral on a Moving Train

You Can’t Be Neutral on a Moving Train
(2012)
Album: God of the Serengeti

Il titolo di questa canzone viene da un famoso saggio dello storico Howard Zinn e anche di un documentario sulla vita dello storico americano, un cui discorso è utilizzato come introduzione e come finale.

Su un treno che si dirige verso una destinazione non puoi fingere di essere neutrale. La tua presunta neutralità non farà niente per cambiare il percorso del treno, e non importa che tu sia neutrale o che tu voglia raggiungere la destinazione, il treno ci arriverà lo stesso. Allo stesso modo quelli che non fanno niente contro un sistema ingiusto, come la schiavitù, il razzismo, il capitalismo o ogni altra forma di discriminazione stanno di fatto collaborando con gli oppressori.

In questa lunga canzone, arricchita dal campionamento di "House of Cards" di Ophelia Of The Spirits, Vinnie Paz tratta molti temi: dallo sterminio dei nativi americani,... (Continues)

By this point in the playlist of Let the Bad Times Roll, listeners should know that The Offspring is a conscious band, i.e. one who is mindful of the prevailing issues of the day. And when it comes to regularly producing bad news, few regions are as consistent as the Middle East. This is something which caught Dexter Holland’s notice, particularly when it comes to the actions of the infamous ISIS. And that is the matter he is dealing with on “Hassan Chop”.

Those familiar with the titular term would know that it actually comes from an old Bugs Bunny cartoon. It is the catchphrase of a character named Hassan, which he utilizes whenever he sets about trying to cut a thief (i.e. Daffy Duck) to bits. And as the name of the... (Continues)

Rhythm of My Heart

Rhythm of My Heart
(1991)
Written by Marc Jordan and John Capek
Album: René Shuman.

Other recordings: Rod Stewart
Album: Vagabond Heart (1991)

For me he is a soldier sent off to war (most likely Vietnam) who is thinking of his young love back home. He is in the middle of chaos and only fate will determine if he makes it home or not and he tries not to allow himself to feel anything rather than feel love, fear, etc. Thus he 'pulls down the handle of the slot machine with no expression on his face" hoping he will not be killed and make it to the shore where he will get on the ship that will carry him back to his loved one waiting for him in her thin blue jeans in his hometown steel town.

Extremely powerful song for people who have been sent off to war leaving loved ones behind.

The Night Comes On

The Night Comes On
[1985]
Lyrics and music by Leonard Cohen
Testo e musica di Leonard Cohen
da/from "Various Positions"

“Scende La Notte” appartiene a quel filone di canzoni a sfondo bellico iniziato con le immagini di “Lover Lover Lover” del 1974 e che proseguirà con quelle di “Nevermind” del 2014. Il testo di “Night Comes On” percorre il cammino a ritroso attraverso le dolorose perdite patite da Cohen: della madre che amava le canzoni yiddish tristi e nostalgiche, del padre veterano della Prima Guerra Mondiale insignito di medaglia al valore, di Suzanne e in parte dei figli, perfino degli amici del Billy’s Bar di Hydra, quando la vita e l’amore di Marianne erano un idillio paradisiaco. Nella riga finale sarà proprio la madre a spronarlo a tornare alla vita del mondo come dettato nel Deuteronomio 30,19 della Torah e scritto anche sotto la fiamma eterna nella Sala della Memoria dell’Olocausto di Washington.

Shaktar Donetsk

Shaktar Donetsk
2001
Album: Global a go-go


Quando Joe Strummer dei Clash cantava lo Shakhtar Donetsk
di Damiano Benzoni -da "Il Romanista"

Lo Shakhtar Donetsk non è solo una squadra di calcio. Non lo è ora, da club sfollato dalla regione del Donbass martoriata dal conflitto civile ucraino e bandiera di chi quella guerra l'ha subita sulla sua pelle. Non lo è stato in passato, quando è diventato perfino l'argomento di una canzone.

[...]

Per Joe Strummer, già cantante dei Clash, il nome affascinante è stato quello della squadra ucraina dei minatori, che dà il titolo (seppur storpiato in Shaktar) alla settima traccia del disco Global a Go-Go, inciso con il suo ultimo gruppo, i Mescaleros, nel 2001. Ed è una canzone densa di significato, che racconta la storia della migrazione di un macedone che cerca di raggiungere il Regno Unito sul retro di un camion: «Aveva la sciarpa di lana dello Shakhtar Donetsk,...

Black Smoke Rising

Black Smoke Rising
dal primo EP Black Smoke Rising
e poi in "From the Fires" - entrambi del 2017

“Black Smoke Rising” talks about political rebellion, corruption, and war. It depicts the leaders as those in the “tower,” looking down on the people and devising methods to control them. It calls for the people to come together against these forces, as together is the only way the leaders can be defeated.
Genius

There are spiritual and philosophical expressions in our work—the lyrics for the song “Black Smoke Rising” are a reflection on the lessons of history and that man does not always learn from the lessons of history; The wars and tyrants of ages past and the innocent victims of blind hatred ultimately have us begging the question, “What is the meaning behind all this?” The song is a reaction to these themes, and in a more positive light, embodies a unity of humanity, as an example.

Si è sempre pensato che "Yellow Submarine" fosse stata composta solo da Paul McCartney nonostante fosse firmata Lennon-McCartney, come gran parte delle composizioni dei Beatles.

Their Law

Their Law
Album: Music for the Jilted Generation (1994)

Featuring Pop Will Eat Itself

"How can the government stop young people having a good time? Fight this bollocks."


Era il 1994 quando il primo ministro inglese, il conservatore John Major, promulgò il Criminal Justice and Public Order Act, una serie di nuove leggi che prendevano di mira in particolare i rave illegali e i cosiddetti free parties, festival di musica elettronica autogestiti e gratuiti.

Vi ricorda qualcosa? Quasi trent'anni dopo in Italia il nuovo governo di estrema destra come primissimo provvedimento urgente scrive un decreto del tutto analogo, che andrà a limitare i diritti fondamentali dei cittadini, con l'obiettivo neanche tanto nascosto di colpire - oltre che i cosiddetti rave - le occupazioni e le iniziative sindacali e politiche. La risposta deve essere la stessa che dettero i Prodigy: Fuck 'em and their law

Man With No Name

Man With No Name
Album: White Jesus Black Problems (2022)

In Virginia, back in 1759, a white Scottish servant Elizabeth Gallimore, fell in love with a black slave whose name had been lost over time. Their great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson, Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz, who performs under the pseudonym Fantastic Negrito, has released the compelling concept album White Jesus Black Problems based on his recently discovered lineage. The ambitious multi-media project includes a companion film.

The Album track “Man with No Name” is a painful reminder that often the identity and experiences of the oppressed are often erased. With the song and album, the stories of the courageous forgotten are being reclaimed. The tune also contains a galvanizing message of hope with the line “I keep moving on.” It is a potent statement of perseverance that continues to resonate.

Hmm. This feels a little awkward, as I seem to be physically shaking as I go to post this. But… Here goes. The following is a song I have needed to write for 34 years, 7 months and four days. To be fair, for the first ten months of that I was locked up and unable to express myself in any real terms.

This is an introduction to my truth, the big ugly one I have kept mostly buried for a really, really long time.

Soon
© 2022 STEVE KEENE


Steven Keene puts an uncanny finger on the pulse of our troubled times with new single and video "Soon"

The newest emanation of Keene’s signature ethos arrives in the form of his latest single “Soon” (to be released July 8, 2022, via Reviver Records), a track that seamlessly melds a James Agee-styled social critique with the ardent defiance of the best in American protest music. Once again leveling the sights of Keene’s masterful compositional craft dead-center on the faltering heart of the matter, “Soon” holds an unflattering yet hopeful creative mirror up to the great lumbering leviathan of a numb world sleepwalking into yet another World War.

Whether motivated by ignorance or outright disregard for the most costly lessons of human history, or by an equally untenable lack of collective self-awareness — it has now become frighteningly clear that the world is falling... (Continues)

There Were Bells

There Were Bells
(2021)
Album: FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE (2022)

‘There Were Bells’ was written by Brian Eno for a performance by him and his brother Roger at UNESCO World Heritage site, the Acropolis in August 2021. It was 45 degrees in Athens on the day of the concert with wildfires raging just outside the city, prompting his introductory comment “I thought, here we are at the birthplace of Western civilization, probably witnessing the end of it.” There Were Bells is taken from Eno’s new album FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE and provides a poignant reminder of the current climate emergency, a theme that is explored throughout the record.

Scritta nel 2021 per una performance all’Acropoli: il giorno del concerto, ricorda, la temperatura ad Atene era di oltre 43 gradi e gli incendi divampavano intorno alla città: “eccoci nel luogo dov’è nata la civiltà occidentale, e probabilmente ne stiamo testimoniando la fine”.
