Secondo singolo estratto dall'album di prossima pubblicazione "Will of the People"

Su un ritmo anni 80 i Muse ci parlano delle potenti organizzazioni che ci vorrebbero asserviti e aderenti alla loro visione del mondo, perdendo ogni spirito critico.

“Compliance” is about the promise of safety and reassurance sold to us by powerful entities during times of vulnerability. Gangs, governments, demagogues, social media algorithms and religions seduce us with misleading untruths and comforting fables. They want us to join their narrow worldview in exchange for obedience and turning a blind eye to our own internal voice of reason and compassion. They just need our Compliance.

“Compliance” parla della promessa di sicurezza e tranquillità vendutaci da entità potenti durante i momenti di vulnerabilità. Le gang criminali, i governi, i demagoghi, gli algoritmi dei social media e le religioni... (Continues)

“Try Better Next Time for me is very much my song about the environment. You know, it’s a disillusioned, disappointed song. It’s very disappointed in humanity. It’s basically saying, good riddance, humanity, try better next time, you know, next time you come back and get a chance to live on this beautiful planet, you know, try better. It’s a story about people who live underground, about growing fins and going back to the water.

It’s a very disillusioned song about the climate disaster presented in a sort of three minute Weezer ish kind of pop punk thing. If you dig deeper, it’s one of the more disturbing songs because it’s talking about an extinction event next, you know, the extinction of human beings, but is presented in in in... (Continues)

Album: Six White Horses

Il tema dominante di questa canzone country di mezzo secolo fa é il razzismo negli Usa negli anni ’60. Riscosse molto successo, si classificò quarta nella “Billboard Hot Country Singles “statunitense.
Parla degli assassinii di John Kennedy, Martin Luther King e Robert Kennedy. Il tema si riflette nel titolo, ripetuto in ogni strofa: il colore dei cavalli è bianco.
Da notare che il numero dei cavalli coincide con il numero di versi di ciascuna delle tre strofe.
Forse, è un’ipotesi di chi scrive, l’immagine dei sei cavalli si ispira anche alla canzone folk “She'll Be Coming Around The Mountain” pubblicata nel 1927, le cui due strofe iniziali sono riportate a seguire:

She'll be coming 'round the... (Continues)

"Homelessness in America is a Terrible Tragedy. It can happen to anybody and did to the guy in my song called "Homelessness...Livin' Under A Bridge". Check out my song about Homeless Vets called "Just Another Hero Living on the Streets"..We Can Do Better! I was homeless for just a few days year ago and it was a Life Shattering experience that I stays with me even today.... It has shaped me as a songwriter. I try and tell the stories of Life in America .."

"If you've never been Homeless you can't imagine how bad it is. It can be a life changing experience. I was homeless for only a few days and then had to stay on a friends couch for awhile....I've never been the same. I NEVER feel safe. This song is about ONE man's Journey from Normal to living in the park under a bridge. I got very depressed watching Pictures from Sandy....It doesn't matter how you become homeless, just that you ARE. There are Thousands of people in New York and New Jersey....Kids, Old people and families that have no home and no life. A lot of these people will wind up living under a bridge... PLEASE.... if this song Affects you the way I think it will....Donate to the Red Cross. NOBODY SHOULD EVER BE HOMELESS. Everybody needs a place to lay their heads down at night and to feel Safe!...

Homelessness in America... (Continues)

Musica di Ennio Morricone
dalla colonna sonora del film di Aldo Lado
“L’ultimo treno della notte” (Night Train Murders), del 1975, con Dalila Di Lazzaro e Flavio Bucci.
Il tema musicale era stato utilizzato l'anno prima da Morricone per il film d'animazione “Il giro del mondo degli innamorati di Peynet”

Dolce ballata peace & love con una struggente melodia composta da Morricone, inserita - con un evidente contrasto - nella colonna sonora di uno dei film più crudi e violenti mai realizzati in Italia

ULTIM’ORA

Carta canusciuta

Siamo lieti di annunciare l’identità del Grande Vecchio che si occulta dietro i gruppi eurasiatisti e filorussi animati da influencer e opinionisti con connivenze sovraniste e nazionaliste, reclutati dal Cremlino, comunemente noti come “rete di Putin”. La notizia trapela da Fonti che preferiscono mantenere l’anonimato nel quadro delle trame oscure che gravano sulla Repubblica dalla sua fondazione. È più che comprensibile quindi l’assoluto riserbo e, se si renderà necessario, il legittimo uso del Segreto di Stato.
Sono allo studio tutte le misure atte a contenere le minacce ibride e le derive liberticide della disinformacija... (Continues)

“It seems that dissension
is no longer allowed ..”
The song is dedicated to Brian Haw, a great and indomitable British pacifist, famous for protesting against the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, unfortunately died in Berlin from lung cancer in 2011 ...


Brian William Haw (7 January 1949 – 18 June 2011) was an English protester and peace campaigner who lived for almost ten years in a peace camp in London’s Parliament Square from 2001, in a protest against UK and US foreign policy. He began the Parliament Square Peace Campaign before the 2001 United States attacks, and became a symbol of the anti-war movement over the policies of both the United Kingdom and the United States in Afghanistan and later Iraq. At the 2007 Channel 4 Political Awards he was voted Most Inspiring Political Figure. Haw died of cancer... (Continues)

Lyrics written by Don Black
Music composed by Debbie Wiseman -

“This moving anthem offers hope against the back-drop of continual war throughout the world where children needlessly suffer and die.
This contemporary song has been translated into several different languages and has become a national 'anthem' sung by thousands of young people on World Peace Day -- September 21st.

I hope that you understand the way I feel about ‘No Wars Will Stop Us Singing’.
It is a great song for young people like me to bite back at all the people who think war is right”.
