[1972]
From "We Say No To Your War!"
words and music by A1C Jim Schaffer
Dedicated to the victims of the genocidal war in which so many young Americans took part before they had the possibility of understanding it. This song is excellent for teaching a crowd to join in, and the chorus lends itself to being sung as a round, with half the group singing "seize the time, organize" and then the other half beginning likewise. When at a signal the two halves meet again for a unison ending, it graphically demonstrates the qualities the song describes. Different lead singers can take the three verses, with the group joining in the response after each line. Sing it with feeling!

[1972]
From "We Say No To Your War!"
words by Mark Lane and Jim Shaffer
music by Jim Shaffer
Outside the Rodeway Inn where the Boise Chamber of Commerce were honoring General Westmoreland in August, 1971. Nine Covered Wagon members were arrested for "disturbing the peace" and three others charged with "interfering with the police." This song played an important part in the state-wide campaign to win an acquittal for them. After the charges were finally dropped, some of the defendants filed charges against the police on behalf of the Covered Wagon.
The song "The Rodeway Nine" referenced the My Lai Massacre, Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ), and General Westmoreland. Composed by Mark Lane and Jim Shaffer, the record booklet said the following about this song: "outside the Rodeway Inn where the Boise Chamber of Commerce were honoring General Westmoreland in August in 1971.

Words and music by AIC Jim Schaffer.
Back in his pre-Wagon days when Jim was into psychedelics, he wrote a song most people had trouble understanding and he found impossible to explain. When the smoke of the war burned his eyes, he saw things in a different way. He made a few changes in the lyrics, and it became "Phantom Jets are Coming."

From "We Say No To Your War!"
Lyrics by A1C Jim Schaffer and Sgt. Mark Lane (ret.)
music by A1C Jim Schaffer
The first verse expresses the mood of returning GIs, their feeling of alienation from the Air Force, and their determination to be a part of the machine no longer. The second verse was a personal statement by Jim Shaffer, just before he was discharged as a conscientious objector. Combining the two poems and adding music produced the first song written at the project.

Lyrics and music / Testo e musica / Paroles et musique / Sanat ja sävel:
AIC Jim Schaffer, Mountain Home USAF Base
Album / Albumi: We Say No To War!
"An appeal to middle America to listen to the GIs, and so they wanted to open the record with it. Probably the most popular song at the Wagon. At a concert, Jim Schaffer was asked why he called it "Mathematics." He thought a moment and then said: "It's about the war. The war divides us, it subtracts our humanity, and multiplies our problems. There's nothing else to add".
Il brano di apertura dell’album è, in realtà, ripetuto due volte: all’inizio senza musica, soltanto recitato (“spoken”) dal suo autore, AIC Jim Schaffer:
La versione “sung” (sempre da Jim Schaffer) è invece la traccia n° 6 nell’album. Un appello all’ “America media” ad ascoltare i soldati; per questo è la traccia di apertura. Si tratta probabilmente del brano... (Continues)

Canzone che dà il titolo al disco realizzato dalla band del movimento no-war in Vietnam "The Covered Wagon" costituitosi l'anno precedente fra i GIs della base aerea militare statunitense di Mountain Home, Idaho, luogo di partenza degli F-4 Phantom ed F-111 che bombardavano il Vietnam.
"The Covered Wagoon" pubblicava la rivista intitolata "Helping Hand". La copertina del primo numero della rivista riportava la foto di un bambino che impugna un'arma, foto scattata nella base stessa durante la giornata delle forze armate, accompagnata dalla scritta "Never Again!"
Inutile dire che la giornata delle forze armate non si tenne più a Mountain Home...

Lyrics by Joe Hill
Tune: "Sunlight, Sunlight" (W. S. Weeden)
"Well war certainly shows up the capitalist system in the right light. Millions of men are employed at making ships and others are hired to sink them. Scientific management, eh, wot?"
from a Joe Hill's letter to Sam Murray, 9 September 1915, in "The Last Letters of Joe Hill," p. 54; also in Foner, Letters of Joe Hill, p. 56.
"Stung Right" chronicles the lament of a worker enticed into joining "uncle Sammy's fleet" by promises of a trip around the world. According to Hill, the Navy, rather than improving his situation, worsens it by offering only hard work and bad food.

Una canzone dedicata alla strage di Morecombe Bay, North West England, Regno Unito, 5 febbraio 2004.
Un gruppo di lavoratori cinesi addetti alla raccolta delle vongole, immigrati irregolari schiavizzati dai mercanti di braccia, inesperti, non addestrati, furono sorpresi dalla rimonta della marea: 23 di loro, uomini e donne tra i 18 e 45 anni, persero la vita.
2 corpi non furono mai ritrovati, e nemmeno si sa chi fossero.
Nel 2006, il regista Nick Broomfield ha diretto un film dedicato a questo episodio: si intitola sigificativamente "Ghosts".

Da La Stampa
Vent'anni fa di questi tempi, fra il luccichio e il tum-tum delle discoteche si faceva largo una voce spoglia e un po' cavernosa: si accompagnava solo con la chitarra, e a sentire «Talkin' About A Revolution» quelli con ancora le spalline larghe sotto la giacca pensarono a una povera pazza, così dimessa e un po' mascolina, con la pelle nera coperta di tanti riccioli. Gli altri la ascoltarono al concerto per i 70 anni di Mandela a Londra o all'Amnesty International Tour che passò nell'88 da Torino con Bruce Springsteen, Peter Gabriel, Sting (più il povero Baglioni preso a pomodorate), e andarono a comprare il suo disco, chiamato solo «Tracy Chapman».

ADÈLE
La guerre et ses conséquences sont souvent traitées sur le mode tragique et on le comprend aisément. Cependant, il est d'autres façons d'aborder la question de la guerre en chansons. Une de ces façons peut être dite « tragicomique », autrement dit, on traite la guerre si ce n'est par le mépris, au moins par l'humour et par le rire. On connaissait ici – je veux dire dans la chanson de langue française – la chanson de Francis Blanche sur « Le Général à vendre », qui fit grand bruit et soulève encore le rire des auditeurs.
Il en est une autre qui fut chantée par les Quatre Barbus (sans qu'on ne sache trop qui en était l'auteur...) et qui reste gravée dans la mémoire populaire et un demi-siècle plus tard, déchaîne elle aussi et encore des torrents de rire. C'est la chanson épouvantablement triste du jeune soldat – un marin, un cuirassier selon les versions – qui s'en revient de guerre... (Continues)

Chanson italienne - BEREZINA 1812 - Davide Buzzi – 1996
Alors que sur le plan militaire, la bataille de la Bérézina des 26 -29 novembre 1812 fut une réelle victoire de l'armée napoléonienne contre des forces de très loin supérieurs en nombre et en armement, la Bérézina est restée dans la mémoire collective de la culture française comme la déroute des déroutes, comme la fin d'un rêve trop grand, comme la fin d'un épisode de délire collectif, comme la fin de la Grande Armée. Le passage de la Bérézina, fleuve russe, a constitué pour l'orgueilleuse Armée napoléonienne la marque d'infamie suprême. Une immense douleur et le sentiment d'une perte irréparable. Ce fut aussi pour ceux qui s'y trouvèrent engagés – des rescapés de l'hiver russe – une épreuve terrifiante, un passage en enfer... Bien sûr, d'autres armées, d'autres temps, d'autres lieux ont connu pareille mésaventure. On songe aux forces... (Continues)

Chanson italienne – È sera ... – Davide Buzzi – 2006
La Chanson « C'est le soir... » de Davide Buzzi est inspirée et dédiée à la figure du grand poète espagnol Federico Garcia Lorca, mort le 19 août 1936 à Viznar, fusillé par les franquistes à quelques pas d'une fontaine connue comme la Fontaine des Larmes.
Federico Garcia Lorca, inspirateur d'idéaux de paix et de liberté ( mais non combattant) fut brutalement assassiné sans aucun procès.

Una canzone contro ogni guerra e violenza, specie quella contro i più deboli che sono i bambini. “Perlimpinpin” è infatti il nome dello zucchero filato, detto anche in francese "barbapapa".

The Offspring - primarily Dexter Holland and Noodles Wasserman is a west coast punk band that has achieved mainstream success consistently since the mid 1980s. The band's latest outing, Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, is in my opinion, one of their strongest records. This is the Offspring in full force, harking back to the a lot of the earlier work. There is no goofy stuff here. The songs are urgent, well thought out and frankly, good.
Frantic guitar playing, staccato drumming, catchy hooks, a driving riffs basically fill the record. These are not simplistic 3 chord punk songs, but really much better arrangements. There is variety of urgency, mood and tone.
The highlight of the album is Hammerhead - an anti war song sung from the point of view of a soldier. The Offspring avoid cliches... (Continues)

Version française – Une poignée de riz – Marco Valdo M.I. – 2008
Chanson italienne – Una manciata di riso – Fabio Bello
Pour la dernière strophe, une autre traduction m'est venue à l'esprit...
Une poignée de riz,
Une poignée de rien,
Un poing de grain,
Quelle valeur ont-ils pour toi et moi ?
Cependant, mes deux versions sont pures interprétations de ce qui semble bien être une erreur de frappe " una manciata diriso"... qui a fait surgir au romaniste un vague participe passé d'un improbable verbe italien, qui aurait dû être diridere ou dirire et signifier quelque chose comme "rendre dérisoire, déprécier..." D'où la poignée dérisoire ou la poignée de rien ...(ce qu'elle est en effet...).
L'erreur est parfois féconde...
