WHY I LIKE ROOSEVELT (Willie Eason)
From: Jim Dixon -
As recorded by Willie Eason (1921 - 2005) on the various-artists album "Blues with a Message" (2005)

Unspoken features on Greg Harper's album 'In It Together' released in 2019.

Veterans from many wars, over time, have rarely spoken about their war time ordeals and experiences. Many kept everything hidden from their families until they themselves passed away.
How could you explain what you had endured, or done, to someone with no concept of the reality of war.
It remained Unspoken.

WW1 slang meanings.

White Feather:
Given by ladies to men who hadn’t signed up to fight, as a symbol of cowardice.

Pear Drops:
Clouds of Poison gas.

Goodnight Kiss:
The last shot of the day by a waiting sniper, looking for a careless victim at dusk.

For King & For Country features on Greg Harper's album 'Bricks & Dust' released in 2015.

Gaza, 10 Febbraio 2024: oltre 28.000 morti, 67.611 feriti

Capel-le-Ferne features on Greg Harper's album 'Well Spun Lies' released in 2011.

"At the beginning of July 2010 I visited the Battle of Britain memorial site, on the cliffs, at Capel-le-Ferne, near Folkstone, in Kent

It was just a couple of days before the annual ceremony, which was held to mark, and remember, the start of that battle in 1940.
As I stood there on the cliff edge looking out towards France, I tried to imagine what the remaining members of the' Few' might have been thinking, each time that they attended the event over the years. What thoughts did they have as the dignitaries spoke, as the band played, and the flypast went over their heads?
My song Capel-le-Ferne is what I imagine they might have been thinking, on that day, and maybe every other day, for the preceding 70 years.

Now in February 2024, 14 years after I wrote Capel-le-Ferne, Group Captain John Hemingway (aged 104) is the last remaining living member of the Few ."

Album: Hamburg Demonstrations (2016)

"Hell To Pay At The Gates Of Heaven", che si rivolge direttamente direttamente a un terrorista fanatico religioso tra toni sarcastici e qualche verso graffiante, è stata scritta all'indomani degli attentati al Bataclan di Parigi dove Pete viveva all'epoca.

"Ragazzi, dovete scegliere la vostra arma": o la J-45, la famosa chitarra acustica Gibson utilizzata anche da John Lennon, o l'AK-47 il kalashnikov utilizzato dai terroristi e dalle milizie irregolari in tutto il mondo.

Entrate in una band o entrate nell'esercito, l'alternativa e chiara, e risulta chiaro anche quale delle due scelte la canzone chiaramente auspica...

Scritta da Carl Barât & Pete Doherty.
Album prodotto da Mick Jones (The Clash, Big Audio Dynamite)

Il 1 Maggio del 2000 (ed anche l'anno successivo) la capitale inglese venne invasa da una partecipatissima protesta popolare anticapitalista che sfociò in una giornata di rivolte e di feroce repressione poliziesca.

Protagonisti delle proteste sono i WOMBLES (White Overalls Movement Building Libertarian Effective Struggles) gruppo anarchico e anticapitalista che si distingueva per il loro abbigliamento bianco, simile alle Tute Bianche italiane.

Nonostante gli scontri violenti, alcuni manifestanti (i “ragazzi eleganti” della rivolta) mantennero sempre un aspetto impeccabile.

Pete Doherty ha raccontato di essere passato in quell'occasione accanto a una guardia in assetto antisommossa con tanto di scudo di plastica. Pete usò lo scudo come specchio per... (continuer)

Album: Bricks And Dust (2015)

Just Waitin' is a short, but potent, anti-war song.
Only 8 lines long, under one minute in length, but everything that needs to be said is said in that short time.
The song was released by Greg Harper in 2015.
It features on his album Bricks & Dust.

Dalla colonna sonora del film Freedom Song una canzone originale di Carole King che si rifà e cita apertamente varie canzoni gospel.

One of the most well-known aspects of the Second World War was that the virulently anti-communist leaders of countries like the United Kingdom made an alliance with the Soviet Union, because of the mutual interest they all thought they had in defeating Hitler. Here we are again -- but where's the united front against fascism?

I nazisti sono sempre la stessa feccia dell'umanità, dall'Illinois al Regno Unito, dall'Italia all'Ungheria. Quindi anche se questi Proud Boys non sono esattamente quelli che in Ungheria organizzano il "Giorno dell'Onore" vorrei dedicare - per quel che serve - questa ed altre canzoni in questo percorso a Ilaria Salis, antifascista italiana rinchiusa nelle galere ungheresi per aver protestato contro una manifestazione neonazista.

A Ilaria Zerocalcare ha dedicato sulle pagine di Internazionale una bellissima storia a fumetti dal titolo “In Fondo al Pozzo”.

Scritta da Prince con Nona Gaye (figlia di Marvin Gaye)

Sembra che Prince sperasse che la canzone diventasse una specie di inno non ufficiale della Million Man March

Virginia ( Traditional )
As sung by Bob Fox - 2011

The song Virginny, dates to the 18th century (pre-American Independence) when British convicts were transported to Virginia. After the American Revolutionary War, the British government began to ship convicts to Australia instead, with over 160,000 convicts transported across an 80 year period. Even the convicts who hadn’t been transported for life—perhaps like this song’s narrator—rarely made it back to Britain; few of those with seven or fourteen year sentences could afford the return fare.

The Devil’s Own (Original Soundtrack) (1997)

Album: Room 25 (2018)

Featuring Adam Ness

One of the more socially conscious tunes on the album is “Prayer Song,” which features vocals from Adam Ness. The lyrics deftly explore subjects, such as gun violence, police brutality, gentrification, toxic masculinity, and systemic racism.

The lyrics include: “I set my cell phone on the dash, could’ve sworn it’s a gun / I ain’t seen a toddler in the back after firing seven shots.”

Those words allude to incidents, where a black person is shot because a police officer apparently mistakes a cell phone for a gun.

It is also a reference to the June 7, 2016 murder of Philando Castile. He was shot by a police officer seven times while his 4-year-old daughter was sitting in the backseat.

The song additionally explores how America never truly removed the shackles of past racial oppression (“A free man in the land of the noose,” “Darkness lingers in... (continuer)

A Pub, the great war, a soldiers rambling commentary, A toast to the wind...

This poignant tune off the singer-songwriter’s 7th album Ozarker was written about a family friend who was a Vietnam War vet. It compassionately chronicles his struggles post-war.

Una canzone bellissima e potentissima, diretta contro i codardi che usano la violenza e uccidono persone nel nome del potere e della supremazia, i selvaggi che spesso si nascondono dietro una bandiera, un'uniforme raffinata. Ma se davvero c'è da qualche parte un qualche dio, non saranno perdonati.

Restiamo umani [Vittorio Arrigoni]

Lyrics : 1807 - Mead's General Collection
Music : 1844 - E.J.King
Music played an important part in the lives of enslaved Americans. Songs were a way of giving encouragement and hope for a free future.

During the underground railroad the word Canaan was substituted for the word "Canada" which was the destination of some slaves.

*****

The hymn was known to Frederick Douglass.
Frederick Douglass was a writer, statesman and anti-slavery activist. He also escaped slavery to freedom in the North. In one of his books, he writes about the songs sung by slaves to encourage each other to escape. Here is part of one of the songs that inspired him: “O Canaan, sweet Canaan, I am bound for the land of Canaan.” Douglass said about the song: “We meant to reach the north - and the north was our Canaan.”

Scritta da David Johansen per il fulminante album d'esordio eponimo della band americana

Aperta dal suono di un gong, Vietnamese Baby non è di immediata interpretazione, anche perché il testo di Johansen è una sorta di dialogo o monologo interiore e non è chiaro chi sia il personaggio che parla in prima persona.

In ogni caso, nell'ultima strofa, Johansen dice chiaramente che che ciò che ha portato al disastro del Vietnam è stato il machismo spavaldo in due forme: la crudeltà classica del soldato che stupra e saccheggia, le cui azioni erano avallate dall'impero; e la convinzione imperialista che il diritto di infliggere distruzione di massa a una popolazione straniera fosse un diritto divino americano.
