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.

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.

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

Their Law
Album: Music for the Jilted Generation (1994)
Featuring Pop Will Eat Itself
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

No More Wars
(2022)
‘No More Wars’ is entirely about temper, control, and focus. It’s about experiences I’ve had that taught me to reflect intentionally before I resort to violent acts. The lyrics are inspired by my father’s consistency in following his path despite dealing with an overwhelming amount of harsh, untrue, and deliberately cruel people inside and outside of his circle.”

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.

Southeastern Son
Album: Goodbye Normal Street (2012)
A song like “Southeastern Son” is based on my cousins, both of whom are deployed. Not everyone gets into the National Guard to be a hero or save the world. Those guys were just trying to make a living in a small town. Not to detract from the work they’ve done or anything… but they just weren’t planning on leaving the country when they signed up. I thought it was an interesting standpoint.

©2019 Roy Schneider/Halfstache Publishing (BMI)
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. If you are familiar with my song “Angels Along the Road,” that may take on a little more meaning for you after this. This is an introduction to my truth, the big ugly one I have kept mostly buried for a really, really long time. I’m hoping it might help to at least make sure that a serial criminal doesn’t leave this earth with high honors attached to his name.

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.

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.

Hey America America
1972
Testo incompleto
The obscure psychedelic rock group Children of the Morning, formed in Italy, released the song "Hey America, America" which criticised the US government for the Kent State killings.
Shel Shapiro, who led the group, composed the song. He had previously played with the British beat group The Rokes (1950s-60s). The narrator questioned the validity / plausibility of the argument that the National Guard fired in self defense: "government pretends that it was self defense". The lyrics then suggested that the killings harmed the reputation of the US: "America you're fucking up", which could have repercussions: "hey America don't push you luck".
The song ended with a general anti-war message, complaining that the "war in Vietnam continues", in which the soldiers "kill woman and children".

(1966)
The track "Please Mr. President" (Kent Records # K 45x446) by the blues man King Soloman, apparently based on the West Coast, recording with the Los Angeles label Kent (this is a different artist than the well-known soul singer Solomon Burke, ending with a "mon" rather than "man", also sometimes referred to as "King Solomon"). Released in 1966 with Lyndon Baines Johnson in the White House, the narrator of the song bitterly complained to the president about being sent to Vietnam. He loved his country and "never did get the notion to burn up my draft card", yet he warned the women of American that "Uncle Sam...sure can take your man". At the end of the song the soldier takes to hugging his pack and rifle to comfort him.

Album: No Rest for the Wicked (1988)
The song refers to televangelist Jimmy Swaggart.
In 1985, after a teenager killed himself while listening to Ozzy’s song Suicide Solution, Swaggart went on a crusade against rock music and took every opportunity to point out Osbourne’s depravity. Ozzy got the last laugh in 1987 when Swaggart was caught with a prostitute and admitted an addiction to pornography. Swaggart became known as one of the biggest hypocrites ever to walk the earth.
La canzone si riferisce al "teleevangelista" Jimmy Swaggart.
Nel 1985, ins seguito al suicidio di un adolescente che si tolse la vita mentre ascoltava la canzone di Ozzy Suicide Solution, Swaggart iniziò una crociata contro la musica rock cogliendo ogni occasione per sottolineare la depravazione di Osbourne.
Ozzy ha avuto la sua rivincita nel 1987 quando Swaggart è stato fotografato con una prostituta e ha ammesso una dipendenza dalla pornografia. Swaggart da allora è annoverato tra i più grandi ipocriti della storia.

Cover Up
(2022)
It was after scrolling through the news about another round of war between Israelis and Palestinians in Gaza that Gliksberg found inspiration for "Cover Up." Gliksberg shares, "I'm from the Middle East so I was used to seeing this kind of trauma on TV, but this time, I suddenly realized that we've been through this exact scenario many times before."
Gliksberg adds, growing increasingly weary of the constant strife, that the song at its core, is anti-war. "Growing up in Israel, I have seen, firsthand, that war is the definition of insanity. We keep expecting a different result, and nothing changes. It keeps happening, cyclically and seasonally this cold winter of humanity keeps coming back. War is not a solution. It won't solve your problems. In a bird's eye view, everyone will lose and nobody will win until we decide war itself is over."

Gliksberg shares, "I'm from the Middle East so I was used to seeing this kind of trauma on TV, but this time, I suddenly realized that we've been through this exact scenario many times before."
Gliksberg adds, growing increasingly weary of the constant strife, that the song at its core, is anti-war. "Growing up in Israel, I have seen, firsthand, that war is the definition of insanity. We keep expecting a different result, and nothing changes. It keeps happening, cyclically and seasonally this cold winter of humanity keeps coming back. War is not a solution. It won't solve your problems. In a bird's eye view, everyone will lose and nobody will win until we decide war itself is over."

This Machine Still Kills Fascists
Feat. Evan Felker (Turnpike Troubadours)
“This machine kills fascists” era la leggendaria scritta che campeggiava sulla chitarra di Woody Guthrie, uno dei padri della canzone folk statunitense, ed ora è anche il titolo (con l'aggiunta della parola 'still', ancora) del loro nuovo disco. Un album in cui la band – orfana del cantante Al Barr, alle prese con problemi familiari - ha staccato la spina dalla presa elettrica scegliendo, per la prima volta, di viaggiare sul binario acustico. Un viaggio il loro che è temporale poiché con il beneplacito e il supporto di Nora Guthrie, figlia di Woody, il gruppo ha avuto accesso ad alcuni testi inediti dell'illustre genitore che avevano bisogno di essere messi in musica; ma anche fisico, infatti per registrare “This machine still kills fascists” i Dropkick Murphys si sono spostati dal Massachusetts fino allo stato natale di Guthrie, l'Oklahoma.

'Forgotten Generation’ the longest but also the EP’s standout track. Telling simply the story of men conscripted and sent off to fight and for many to die for the freedoms we take for granted.

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?
That's why I cometh with the idea of making a sort of a parody of the Internationale, based on this video game that many people... (continuer)

Sound of Da Police
(1993)
Album: Return of the Boom Bap
Testo tratto da Genius
Ormai si può considerare un vero e proprio classico dell'hip hop. Il riconoscibilissimo ritornello con la voce che imita la sirena della polizia è stato campionato in almeno altre 100 canzoni.
La pronuncia di KRS-One è particolare tanto che a un madrelingua francese "That's the sound of da police" suona inequivocabilmente come "assassin de la police", cosa che è stata sfruttata da Cut Killer nel suo mix "Assassin de la police".
Un pezzo orecchiabile che però contiene un forte messaggio di protesta contro le violenze della polizia contro la comunità nera, spesso accostato a Fuck tha Police, pubblicata 5 anni prima.

Percy's Song
(1963)
Parole e musica / Words and music: Bob Dylan
Dylan aveva scritto Percy's Song nel 1963 durante le session dell'album The Times They Are A-Changin', ma non l'aveva mai pubblicata. La canzone aveva acquistato una certa notorietà grazie alle interpretazioni dal vivo di Joan Baez ma la versione più bella e di successo fu quella del gruppo folk rock inglese dei Fairport Convention che la incisero, insieme ad altre canzoni di Dylan, nel loro terzo album "Unhalfbricking" del 1969.
La canzone, anche se scritta nello stile di una antica ballad tradizionale, racconta di un modernissimo e fatale incidente automobilistico. L'io narrante della canzone apprende che un suo amico è stato condannato a ben 99 anni di galera per omicidio preterintenzionale perché era al volante durante un terribile incidente in cui avevano trovato la morte quattro persone. La prigione dove dovrà scontare la pena... (continuer)

The Story of One Sky
Dimash Qudaibergen's 12-minute work is dedicated to the unity of people on our planet. We are all divided into races, nations and religions, but we are all children of one planet and live under one sky. Life is the highest value.
No sacred book calls for the destruction of people. We must learn to be friends, for it is impossible for a few adults to cause millions of children to suffer. The future of our planet, the future of people is in our hands, let there be peace in the world.
