Il Sergente nella Neve

Il Sergente nella Neve
À ce moment, nous n'étions pas ennemis... On songe à ce Noël de 1916, mais était-ce 1916 ? Entre deux tranchées, entre deux tueries. On devrait plus souvent manger ensemble...
Quarante hommes, huit chevaux : c'était la contenance d'un wagon pour les régiments de cavalerie, du temps où on se battait encore à cheval; une norme internationale. Alexandre Vialatte le répète assez. Il en a fait une sentence. Quarante hommes, huit chevaux.

Three-Five-Zero-Zero

Three-Five-Zero-Zero
Pacifism pervades the book and score. The theme of opposition to the war is unified by the plot thread that progresses consistently through the book – Claude's moral dilemma over whether to burn his draft card. This theme is most intensely explored in the extended trip sequence in Act 2. The lyrics to "Three-Five-Zero-Zero", which is sung during that sequence, evoke the horrors of war ("ripped open by metal explosion") and point a finger at the Vietnam War directly when the tribe sing "256 Vietcong captured".

The song is based on Allen Ginsberg's 1966 poem, "Wichita Vortex Sutra". In the poem, General Maxwell Taylor proudly reports to the press the number of enemy soldiers killed in one month, repeating it digit by digit, for effect: "Three-Five-Zero-Zero." The song starts begins with images of death and dying and turns into a manic dance number, ironically celebrating the killing in an... (continua)

L'uomo che non dorme mai

L'uomo che non dorme mai
De l'album « Qu'as-tu à faire d'un titre ? » (2005)
« L'homme qui ne dort jamais est un éloge de la sensibilité. Je pense qu'il y a des différences, parfois je me demande si l'être humain est d'un seul ou de différents – ne disons pas races qui est malvenu; cependant, il y a différents modèles totalement différents. Il y a des personnes qui détruisent tellement de choses en une seconde et qui n'ont pourtant pas le moindre problème; il y a des personnes qui passent leur vie pour sauver un petit bout de quelque chose et qui souffrent atrocement pour tout ce qui ne va pas. Je fais un effort pour les considérer comme des parties appartenant à la même espèce. Et dès lors, oui, je la définirais comme un éloge à la sensibilité, qui est peut-être ce qui nous sauve. »

Ska Against Racism

Ska Against Racism
1992
Figli della stessa rabbia

Contro ogni razzismo, per un futuro migliore.

Sicuramente questo e' il disco piu' famoso dell'etichetta Gridalo Forte. Figli della Stessa Rabbia è stato, e continua ad essere un inno. Tutto il disco nei concerti e' stato cantato a squarciagola da migliaia di persone. Brani come "Cararo Sindaco", "Barboni", "Giunti Tubi Palanche Ska", o la versione solo vocale della title track, sono ormai nel DNA di una generazione di giovani in Italia e in tutta Europa. La grafica e' come sempre di Cristiano Rea e rispecchia al meglio la band. Nel retro della copertina il testo di Bella Ciao, che dopo poco verra' incisa nel MLP omonimo.

Chansons de La bande à Bonnot: 02. Les joyeux bouchers

Chansons de <i>La bande à Bonnot</i>:  02. Les joyeux bouchers
Da segnalare la versione italiana dell'intera commedia musicale di Henry-François Rey, con canzoni di Boris Vian, opera di Giangilberto Monti:

Giangilberto Monti

"LA BELLE EPOQUE DELLA BANDA BONNOT"

storia del bandito anarchico Jules Bonnot su canzoni originali di Boris Vian.

Roberto Carlotti, fisarmonica - Renata Mezenov Sa, voce e chitarra - Marco Mistrangelo, contrabbasso - Caroline Tallone, ghironda, violino, organetto diatonico.

Jules Bonnot, operaio, anarchico e poi bandito, viene braccato per anni dalla polizia in piena Belle Epoque e diventa suo malgrado un eroe popolare: la sua cattura avviene di fronte a cinquecento soldati e ventimila parigini, nell'aprile del 1912. Henry-François Rey nel 1954 trasforma questa storia in una commedia musicale e ne affida le canzoni all'eclettico artista francese Boris Vian. Dopo lo spettacolo gli spartiti originali si perdono e l'opera viene... (continua)

I Don't Like Mondays

I Don't Like Mondays
Bob Geldof wrote this song when he heard about the San Diego elementary school massacre.
In January 1979, Brenda Spencer , a troubled 16-year-old who lived across the street from a schoolyard in San Diego, took the semi-automatic rifle her father had given her for Christmas and began firing. Four people died and eight children were injured. When asked why she did it, she answered "I just don't like Mondays".

Nel gennaio del 1979 Bob Geldof sente la notizia di una sedicenne di San Diego, Brenda Ann Spencer, che si è resa protagonista di una sparatoria nella scuola di fronte a casa sua uccidendo due persone e ferendone altre nove. Alla domanda perché avesse fatto questo gesto lei risponde "I don't like Mondays" (ovvero "Non mi piacciono i lunedì"); questa frase ispira il cantante dei Boomtown Rats a scrivere una canzone.

The House Of Orange

The House Of Orange
"I don't care what your politics are, when
our children are dying in the streets, it's time to put away the guns." Stan Rogers

The House of Orange is a Stan Rogers song about The Troubles, in particular about fundraising for the combatants in Canada. The overall sentiment of the song is "a pox on both your houses". The 'House of Orange' mentioned in the song is the royal house of William III of England, who led the Protestant side of the Williamite war in Ireland. It is on his posthumous CD From Fresh Water. This is the last song written by Stan Rogers before his death, and arguably among his most lyrically evocative

The premier of the day, in his headline-grabbing visit to the site of the tragedy, made sure that there was room on his private jet for his media entourage - at the expense of not carrying vital rescue equipment. The subsequent enquiry turned out to be a pure cover up. Less than a decade later, following another similar preventable pit tragedy, Moura Mine was to be permanently closed." Peter Hicks

Each Small Candle

Each Small Candle
Album: In The Flesh - Live 2000

The first stanza is a poem written for Danish Amnesty International by Halfdan Rasmussen. The lyrics of the rest of the song are Roger's response to a newspaper article about the story of a Serbian soldier who helped an Albanian woman lying wounded in a burned-out building.

Halfdan Rasmussen (January 29, 1915 in Copenhagen – March 2, 2002) was a Danish poet. He was known for his nonsensical children's verse and his serious adult writings about social issues and human rights.
Rasmussen was a resistance fighter during the German occupation He became very well known and respected as a poet, nearly becoming a national poet of Denmark. One of his poems, Ikke Bødlen, was featured as one of the best poems on Human Rights on a 1979 book published by Amnesty International Denmark, and would be later translated into the first verse of Roger Waters' song Each Small...
