Singolo estratto dall'album "Continuum"

"Waiting on the World to Change" is the first single released from John Mayer's 2006 studio album, Continuum. The song enjoyed general critical acclaim as well as commercial success as a single. For this song, Mayer won the Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 49th Grammy Awards. Because of its theme of discontent and hope, it quickly came into demand in a variety of television programs, charity benefits, and other events.

"Waiting on the World to Change" contains a highly popular chord progression often found in blues, rock and soul songs, such as The Impressions's "People Get Ready" and Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing". The chord progression is "1-6m-4-1 - 5-6m-4-1" and, in the case of "Waiting on the World to Change",... (continua)

The Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp Songbook

Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp was a peace camp established to protest at nuclear weapon being sited at RAF Greenham Common in Berkshire, England. The camp began in September 1981 after a Welsh group called "Women for Life on Earth" arrived at Greenham to protest against the decision of the Government to allow cruise missiles to be based there.

On 1 April 1983, tens of thousands of protestors formed a 14 mile human chain from Greenham to the Aldermaston nuclear power station and the ordnance factory at Burghfield.

On 4 April 1984, the women were evicted from the Common by Newbury District Council. However by nightfall the women all returned to reform the camp.

The last missiles left the camp in 1991 but the camp remained in place until 2000 after protestors won the right to house a memorial on the site.

Gypsy punks: underdog world strike

Basically, it's an anti-war song- "that war/it never stops!" But it's more than that. He manages to dissect not only the roots of where war exists in our culture but also the helplessness of such understanding (nobody listens, nobody cares) while maintaining an advisory stature. Are we the only light there is? For ourselves we are. Hopeless? Not if you take care of your own.
from Pacifist War Games

The son of Egyptian immigrants, Kareem was born and raised in Ponca City, Oklahoma. He spent his childhood immersed in Western United States culture, attending Rodeos and Pow Wows, while simultaneously learning his family's roots in Islam and Arabic culture. With a degree in Chemical Engineering and recenlty finishing Law School, he's on the road promoting his new album, "Generous Peace".

His voice is robust, sexy, and All-American Country soundin'. I love him! His musical sound is open-chord guitar with a lot of grounded piano sound supporting it. His lyrics are not officially "muslim" or "nasheeds" (Islamic gospel songs), but the subject matter is definitely "Halal" (ie for you non-muslims reading this, Halal means religiously permissible, as in the subject matter is about living a good life, it's not about forbidden things and isn't leading the listener to sin - not about adultery, greed, alcohol, or other illicit/amoral activities).

[2001]

Tragicomica storia d'amore del partigiano Cesare che commette delitto passionale perchè, proprio mentre è in missione, scopre che la sua bella lo tradisce ... e per di più con un fascista :-)

Lo scenario della vicenda - tratteggiato da Jannacci con pochi ed essenziali tocchi - è ad ogni modo precisamente quello della lotta partigiana, sicchè credo che anche questa surreale figura di "fidanzato deluso" rappresenti, a suo modo, una voce capace di unirsi al grande coro di CCG.

La canzone (composta da Enzo Jannacci e Paolo Jannacci) è stata incisa per la prima volta dal cantautore milanese nell'album "Come gli aeroplani" (2001, Ala Bianca):

La medesima incisione è stata da Jannacci inserita anche nel doppio CD antologico "The Best" (2006, Ala Bianca):

- testo tratto dal booklet del CD "Come gli aeroplani" (nelle parti parlate compaiono peraltro, nel disco, alcune modeste variazioni rispetto ad esso) -

In questo brano compare il vademecum del brigante ed i relativi nomignoli dati dal popolo ai briganti politici di tutte le epoche, trucidati di volta in volta dai governanti dei loro tempi.

Musica: Yes
Album: Big Generator

"Shoot High, Aim Low" is a song by Yes. It appears on the 1987 Big Generator album. The song appears to have never released as a single, but reached position #11 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in the '80s. It appeared on every show on the Big Generator tour, but nowhere else to date.

The song, according to Jon Anderson's announcements prior to the song on many shows of the tour, the song is about war; specifically, a future in which mankind will live beyond war. In most of these announcements, Anderson explains that the "blue fields" mentioned in the first line are in Nicaragua - at the time the album was being worked on, a legal battle between the U.S. and Nicaragua had occurred over the U.S. aiding guerrillas against the Nicaraguan government.

"48", un modo di dire ancora oggi, a Napoli, che si pensa messo in uso dalla rivolta nel regno, risalente al 1848

“O’ regno ‘cchiù bello”, creato per narrare (con ottica diversa) l’ultimo periodo del regno di Napoli governato da Francesco II, detto Francischiello, e l’avvento dell’unità d’Italia.
