Russian Woman
«Nessuna posizione in classifica, nessun premio potrà mai influenzare la mia posizione. La mia priorità, quella che avevo prima dell'Eurovision, rimarrà anche dopo: dire la verità, essere onesta con il pubblico, incoraggiare alla creatività che può ispirare le persone al cambiamento e alla felicità».
Manizha, 29 anni, è la cantante di origine tagika (ma anche regista e direttrice della fotografia dei suoi video musicali) che ha rappresentato la Russia all'Eurovision Song Contest di quest'anno, e che ha scatenato la polemica per la sua vivace esibizione al festival musicale internazionale. «Russian Woman», la sua canzone, ricorda alle donne russe, con un testo che è un mix di russo e inglese, che sono «abbastanza forti» da «non aver paura» e da poter «abbattere il muro».

Soldier
Мне 30, и кажется, ответ только один:
«Самое большое преступление человека – потерять человека в себе».
Я буду служить собственной музыке. Я буду бороться за человечность. И я не хочу бояться.
Today, each one of us is a soldier. Each has their own fight – for life, for truth, for freedom, for safety.
While writing this song at 19, I was naive asking: “What should people do to stop fighting against each other?”
I am 30 now. And it seems that we not only failed this mission, but keep destroying something that could stop the conflicts: seeing humanity in each other.
I will be a soldier of my own music. I will serve for humanity. And I don’t want to be afraid.

(2024)
EP: Unaired
“Nobody’s Soldier” focuses on the experience of witnessing war and violence worldwide in the digital age, including the mental health strain of being exposed to others’ suffering and the frustration of feeling helpless or complicit. Hozier reacts to these feelings by rejecting the pressure to tacitly support war and expressing uncertainty over his own position and impact.

The civil rights movement that took place here in the United States directly inspired the civil rights movement in Northern Ireland, very shortly afterwards in a time and place where not every single person was guaranteed the right to vote.

To date she’s saved some 14,000 but was seized in 2017, the crew now awaiting trial accused of colluding with people smugglers. It’s a quietly rousing anthemic reminder that we are one world and one planet, echoing the refrain from the album opener as they declare “We’re not the clothes we wear/We’re not the scars we bear/We are the song we share”.

There’s one final real life story of an inspirational figure. Cooney was commissioned to write The Surgeon, a slow waltzing ballad with sweeping strings and sparse, plangent, piano, for the BBC’s 21st Century Folk project, in tribute to David Nott, a British surgeon who, putting his Christian principles into action, has volunteered to work in many war zones. This song is about a time in Aleppo where he found himself operating on “a man in distress/With a bullet hole wound torn in his chest” only to discover when six men “with knives and machine guns and uniforms black” burst in and watched as he worked, that he was saving the life of a young ISIS fighter. Asked later if he regretted saving him, his reply was no, “for life it is precious and life it is rare/And may my arms always be able to bear”.

It’s the story of Johnny’s participation in acts of civil disobedience in the 1930s to advocate the Right to Roam – that ‘the right of walking was free’. The most famous trespass took place at Kinder Scout, Derbyshire in April 1932 and led, eventually, to the creation of the National Parks.

Questo nuovo singolo nasce su invito e a supporto della campagna di finanziamento avviata da I.A.F.G., International Artists For Gaza, un collettivo di artisti da tutto il mondo che sta pubblicando diverse compilation su Bandcamp, l'intero ricavato delle quali andrà a finanziare le attività dell'associazione Gaza Freestyle a supporto dei bambini e civili Palestinesi.
La musica, nella migliore tradizione del Reggae, diventa così strumento di solidarietà e di riflessione, oltre che un forte invito all'opinione pubblica affinché si faccia pressione sui governi occidentali sull'attuazione di un immediato "cessate il fuoco" e sull'abbandono della linea dell'appoggio incondizionato al Governo Israeliano.

Compositore: Robbie Robertson.
The Band was a Canadian-American rock group, consisting of Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, Robbie Robertson and Levon Helm. The members first met when they joined Ronnie Hawkins‘ Ontario-based group “The Hawks.” After separating, they were picked up by Bob Dylan for his 1965 US Tour, and then for the 1966 World Tour. Their relationship with Dylan helped the group move to New York, where they collaborated with him on music that would end up becoming some of the most sought-after bootlegs of the time; namely, the 1975-released project known as The Basement Tapes. They followed up these sessions with the release of their debut album, 1968’s Music From Big Pink.

Homeless Brother
Homeless Brother - Don Mc Lean - 1974
The song tells the story of a homeless man whom the protagonist calls his friend. The protagonist wonders where homeless people like his friend go, where they can escape the police and feel free. The lyrics describe the hardships of life on the streets, the envy of those with a roof over their heads, and the reality of poverty and the harshness of the rich. The chorus encourages one to live life to the fullest, despite the difficulties, and to cherish the friendship with the homeless brother.

By refusing to abide by a wall, map, property line, border, identity document, or legal regime, mobile people upset the state's schemes of exclusion, control, and violence. They do this simply by moving.
Rifiutando di rispettare un muro, una carta geografica, un tracciato di proprietà, un confine, un documento di identità o un regime legale, le persone in movimento sconvolgono gli schemi di esclusione, di controllo e di violenza dello Stato. Fanno ciò in modo semplice: spostandosi.

Il wassailing è un'antica tradizione del folclore natalizio inglese che prende il nome dalla coppa del wassail ( "buona salute" ), contenente una bevanda calda a base di birra o sidro con spezie e mele tostate. La tradizione conosce due varianti, una consistente nella benedizione degli alberi da frutto e degli animali da stalla con la coppa del wassail, l'altra consistente nel girare per le case con la coppa del wassail intonando canti natalizi.

Hobo Blues - Cisco Houston
The Cisco Houston Collection 1944-61 - Released 2023
The words don't look like much when removed from Cisco's wonderful singing and playing. This is a splendid performance, worthy of being remastered and certainly among the very best of the Vanguard Years. The same song appears with Woody singing on Muleskinner Blues, Volume 2 of the Asch Recordings, with a different first verse but the same wonderful guitar. He must have liked this tune, for he plays it with a gusto that is a treat.

Ma Bert Jansch e John Renbourn si saranno fatti anche loro, verso il 1969, l’operazione alla cataratta…? Sì, perché questa canzone, piuttosto famosa, sembra descrivere alla perfezione ciò che “vedevo” mentre, due pomeriggi fa, l’oftalmologo mi stava demolendo il cristallino vecchio per mettercene uno nuovo e restituirmi alla luce. E’ stata una mezz’ora di visioni bellissime, con un caleidoscopio di colori mai visti (specialmente un turchese di una tonalità che non scorderò mai). E poi, sempre come dice la canzone, sono svanite le nebbie avvolgenti nelle quali ho vissuto gli ultimi mesi...insomma sì, sembrava scritta proprio per me anche se ho il sospetto, neanche tanto vago, che i bravi Pentangle non stessero descrivendo un’operazione di cataratta oculare, ma un bel viaggetto...

The Old Pack Mule
da "Ship To Shore"
2024
È una canzone sia con reminiscenze mediorientali che spunti musicali europei del ‘600. Ci si ritrova immersi tra le scene di un naufragio nel mezzo di miserabili attualità, tra le pagine di una delle tante carestie che si sono succedute nei secoli. A osservarla da lontano col cannocchiale, parrebbe galleggiare tra le vecchie ballate folk del mondo anglosassone, ma quando raggiunge la riva ti rendi conto da vicino che la sua temporalità è confusa; che sciacallaggio, sfruttamento, ingratitudine e ingiustizia stanno sui giornali di stamattina. Come in ogni disco di Thompson, l’ambientazione gotica e arcana oscilla tra Bertolt Brecht e Charles Dickens, un po’ meno fosca delle canzoni iniziali, ma sempre tra le più affascinanti che si possano ascoltare in giro.

Le canzoni più belle contro la guerra sono sempre quelle che non parlano di guerra, ma parlano di vita e celebrano la diversità e la fratellanza tra esseri umani. E questa famosissima canzone dei Black Pumas rientra sicuramente in questa categoria.
I colori di cui parla la canzone possono riferirsi al colore della pelle di tutte le sorelle e i fratelli di una sola razza, quella umana, ma possono anche rappresentare la riconquistata gioia di vivere. una volta scrollate di dosso le foglie secche di un momento di crisi o di depressione. In ogni caso una grande canzone di pace, di tolleranza e un inno alla vita.

Johnny è un ragazzo, ma la guerra lo ha costretto ad essere un UOMO del Terzo Mondo; è stato arruolato in un esercito. Non potrà più avere una stanza dei giochi come un bambino, ma la sua stanza dei giochi ora sarà un bunker. È costretto a mobilitarsi all'alba, a comando, ogni volta che gli viene ordinato di farlo - si accovaccia e striscia come un soldato per evitare di essere colpito; sotto il suo travestimento, il travestimento da soldato, rimane un ragazzino. Razzi e bombe come fuochi d'artificio - purtroppo è un uomo del terzo mondo. Le strade forse torneranno sicure, e torneranno gli occhi del ragazzo - ma ora per lui è l' "era del terzo mondo".

“King Snake” is about accepting that you’re nothing, and that being a beautiful thing. It’s almost Buddhist, like, you are objectively nothing. Right? Nothing objectively exists. Don’t suddenly carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. It’s going to be alright. There’s also that feeling after you’ve had two beers where nothing matters, you know? It’s supposed to be celebratory, whether it’s because you like getting the beers in or you like the idea of being nothing."

"The coronation was happening, and it was pissing me off. Because as an anti-monarchist, I don’t like occupying other countries, an unelected leader, the House Of Lords… As soon as you have a kid, those beliefs become amplified with a sense of severe protection. It just highlights the dangerous, apathetic stance we have on such oppressive fucking systems within our country, and I want to talk about that through love – not anger, not hate, not disdain. Just: my daughter’s my king, he’s not my king. Tell me different! Prove to me different! You can’t.”

“Danny Nedelko”, la lezione sempre valida degli IDLES
di Luisa Cassarà, aprile 15, 2020
“Fear leads to panic, panic leads to pain
Pain leads to anger, anger leads to hate”.
(“Danny Nedelko”)
Se fossi una persona pigra, basterebbe questa citazione per spiegare la ragione che mi spinge a parlare degli IDLES. Non ricordo né come né quando li ho scoperti, ma posso dire con certezza che, da quel momento, non ne ho più potuto fare a meno.

“Black planet” I suppose, is about Cold War , fear of WW3 , industrialization and its deadly affects on environment and how those thing made our planet a chaotic and dark place since 80s.
