"Driving home from work one evening I heard a radio discussion of the cropping of a photograph. It disturbed me deeply. The next evening I had the opportunity to meditate and I felt a song wanting to be written which emerged the next day. When my friends heard it they said it was 'too strong'. But I found willing listeners at a Truth Mandala workshop (Macy & Brown, 1998) concerning the war and our feelings about it. The story of this Iraqi girl is continuing to influence my life." -Rosey Faire.

Umberto Saba

Umberto Saba nasce a Trieste nel 1883 da madre ebrea che viene abbandonata dal marito e di questa situazione ne soffre crescendo tra conflitti familiari ed una infanzia segnata dalla malinconia e dalla lontananza dal padre, girovago ed eterno scontento. La carriera scolastica è alquanto irregolare, abbandona il ginnasio e frequenta solo per poco tempo l'Imperial Regia Accademia di commercio e nautica, interrompendola per impiegarsi in...

Lyrics and Music by Iron Sheik
Testo e musica di Iron Sheik

New Pro-Palestinian Rap Music

"Music is an integral part of culture and it is often used to express ourselves, either by creating it or listening to it. In the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict there has been little in the way of music that describes the history of the Palestinian plight, until now. One of the most brilliant new artist/activist to take his message to the microphone is the Iron Sheik."

"Written just before the start of Gulf War Two and inspired by the media frenzy that was part of the lead up. War is good for the advertising business, so we all end up eating from the same trough." -John Robin Devany.

"The name 'Guantanamo Bay' evokes an image of paradise. A little private bay with full waiter service for all the essentials of life - but nothing more. A song written in the difference between a dream and a nightmare."- John Robin Devany.

"I think that everyone has their own thoughts about what happened on September 11 2001. When I woke up that morning my wife came in to wake me up and told me that a plane had crashed into one of the towers. I didn't believe it at first but turned on the television to see what was happening. My first thought was that I was still dreaming a bad dream. But when the second tower was hit I knew then that this was real and it was no accident. After about an hour my friend called and said can you believe this? I said, "no" The tower had just fallen.

Within a few days we were contacted by our music publisher who asked us if we had a song about the World Trade Center tragedy.... (Continues)

Sull'aria di "Slip Knot" di Woody Guthrie

Lyrics and Music by Stephen L.Suffet
To the tune of "Slip Knot" by Woody Guthrie

From: http://polsong.gcal.ac.uk/songs/suffet.html

"The new words were written in 2003 after the U.S. government officials advised people to stock up on duct tape as the war in Iraq seemed imminent. They were to use the tape to seal windows and doors in the event of a chemical or biological attack. The parody is based on Woody Guthrie'a song Slip Knot, written in the 1940s on the subject of lynching."
