Yellow Submarine
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.
Recentemente però è stato pubblicato un outtake delle session di Revolver in cui Lennon interpreta chitarra e voce la strofa della canzone, in una versione malinconica completamente diversa dal risultato finale con il ritornello scritto da Paul.
Hear John Lennon sing dark take on 'Yellow Submarine' in wild 'Revolver' outtake

La memoria
Paula E. Kirman
"This is an English version of La Memoria by León Gieco. Much of the lyrics are based on Gieco's original, but I have "Canadianized" a lot of it, as some of what he is singing about would not translate well for a North American audience." - Paula E. Kirman

L'Internationale
The Internatiovania
An Undertale parody of The Internationale
Hi, Luis here.
Regarding my Spanish translation of the Internationale, it doesn't have Panamanian features, leave as it is now.
This, however, is a very, very, very, very different version of the Internationale that I was making. I say very, very different, because this tyme we don't talk about Communism, socialism etc. This time we're talking about a video game!
And you'll ask me: Hey L. C., the majority of versions (word for word, literal, or lyrical/rhythmical translations) talk about communism, socialism, anarchism etc, but why we don't go beyond, well, outside those roots? Why we don't make The Internationale not just be a battle song or anthem not just for communists alike, but for gamers instead?

Penitentiary Blues
- 'Penitentiary Blues' [1959] by Lightnin' Hopkins. This is his adaptation of the work song 'No More Cane on the Brazos' and predates Dylan, The Band and all the rest of them.
The Brazos River was originally named "Brazos de Dios" meaning "Arms of God."
The Texas Almanac link below has more info on it including various explanations for how that name came to be.
In the book (and film) titled Racehoss, a former convict who served time in a penitentiary on the Brazos writes that the place was referred to by the convicts as "the burnin' hell."
So you might say that the men who tried to escape from the prison by running to the river were running from hell to the arms of God.

If you’d asked me six months before, I would have been trying to get away from the old dystopian thing but then it unfolded in front of me. There’s a massive wildfire, there’s a pandemic, there’s riots on the streets, and my wife’s going into labour. Three of those things happened at exactly the same time. When you see all that going on, you think: “Hang on a minute, we’re all fucked.”

Lyrics and music / Testo e musica / Paroles et musique / Sanat ja sävel :

Performed by / Interpreti / Interprétée par / Laulavat :

Album: Songs Of The Civil War
Il 20 dicembre 1860, la Carolina del Sud fu il primo stato a votare per la secessione dall'Unione. Il 12 aprile 1861, le batterie al comando del generale Pierre Gustave Toutant-Beauregard aprirono il fuoco nel porto di Charleston su Fort Sumter , presidiato dalle truppe governative. Fu il primo atto della guerra civile.
Tutti i tentativi dell’Unione di prendere Charleston per terra e per mare nei quattro anni di guerra civile non ebbero successo.
Dopo che Columbia, la capitale della Carolina del Sud, capitolò il 17 Febbraio 1865, Charleston fu abbandonata dai Confederati che non risparmiarono edifici pubblici, depositi e mulini incendiandoli.

Guerra civile americana, estate 1863. I confederati hanno battuto i Nordisti a Fredericksburg nel dicembre 1862 e dopo a Chancellorsville a maggio . Il generale Robert Lee (“Master Robert”), a capo dell’esercito confederato, elabora una strategia volta sia ad alleggerire la pressione delle truppe dell’Unione che stringono sotto assedio Vicksburg, Missisippi, sia a dare respiro alla Virginia stremata. Vicksburg è città chiave per evitare che l’esercito confederato sia tagliato in due; la Virginia è essenziale per i rifornimenti alimentari e per la logistica. L’obiettivo finale è di invadere il Nord e marciare su Washington. Lee attraversa il Potomac , entra in Pennsylvania, stato dell’Unione, allo scopo di sferrare un’offensiva decisiva contro l’esercito nordista,... (Continues)

I versi sono scanditi rimicamente da dei regolari “ha!” , che cadono dopo ogni gruppo giampico o anapestico, spesso dividendo anche una parola in due , e corrispondono evidentemente al colpo inferto con l’attrezzo di lavoro.
Questo canto è probabilmente della Georgia, dato che in un Blues inciso ad Atlanta,” Ninety-Nine Year Blues” di Julius Daniels,Victor 20658 ( LP Folkways FA 2951 ) , il “narratore “ dice di essere stato condannato dal giudice a lavorare nella miniera di Joe Brown ( nell’ultima strofa di questo brano l’imputato dice al giudice di non essere stato li’ prima, al che questi risponde : “ Ti do 99 anni,cosi’ non ci torni piu’ “ ; la quale miniera evidentemente celeberrima, viene citata in un altro Blues della Georgia ( con struttura tipo “ worksong “) , “ Rolling Mill Blues “ di Peg Leg Howell,...
