Ballad Of Denshaw Mill
Album: Caught In The Light (1993)
Written by John Lees, this song is based on a Saddleworth legend which has its basis in fact. Denshaw Mill was a woollen mill which operated until the late 1880s, and was already derelict by the time of the first war, when the events described in the song took place. The line "a hole as rotten as ever fouled the green earth" is from a verse by local poet Ammon Wrigley, and the area is part of the Friarmere division of Saddleworth, known locally as the Darkside.

Album: "Lorenzo '94"
Non proprio una canzone contro la guerra, ma contro le cause di molte guerre, che troppo spesso sono solo le cause sbandierate per sostenere la "necessità" della guerra.
Se crollasse la "necessità", cesserebbe il sostegno e come la giustificheranno allora la guerra?

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... (Continues)

Zu atrapatu arte
Questa canzone dei Kortatu è scritta totalmente in lingua Euskara (Basco) che viene parlata nella regione spagnola dell'Euskadi, che sarebbero i Paesi Baschi. È una lingua che pur essendo parlata in Spagna, differisce quasi totalmente dallo spagnolo. Una canzone contro la borghesia e contro tutti coloro che fanno finta di non vedere quello che succede sulla strada.

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.

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.

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

Chi lo conosce bene e lo frequenta sa che, in occasione del raggiungimento delle migliaia, proponiamo delle "pagine speciali"; e questa è davvero del tutto speciale. Non riteniamo soffermarci a lungo su uno dei film più famosi della storia, Il grande dittatore di Charlie Chaplin; proponiamo quindi il testo integrale del "discorso finale" pronunciato dal barbiere sosia del dittatore Adenoid Hynkel. Sembra che Charlie Chaplin lo avesse quasi del tutto improvvisato. Una pietra miliare non solo nella storia del cinema, ma in quella della libertà umana; una satira antifascista e antinazista che riuscì ad inquietare, e proprio con il "discorso finale", anche Stalin che aveva firmato con Hitler un patto di non aggressione.

I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an Emperor - that's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone, if possible -- Jew, gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another; human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there's room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.

Ci sono centinaia di guerre combattute nel mondo, ma la tv, la stampa e i media in generale concentrano tutta la loro attenzione in quelle guerre dove alle spalle c'è gente che conta e che ha interessi più grandi dei popoli stessi. Così sembra quasi che ci siano guerre di primo livello e guerre di secondo livello.
E ogni guerra ha una sua classifica

Christmas Truce Letter
A brief part of a 10 page letter written by an unknown British soldier that records events and incidents with the Germans on December 24, 1914.
This will be the most memorable Christmas I've ever spent or likely to spend: since about tea time yesterday I don't think theres been a shot fired on either side up to now. Last night turned a very clear frost moonlight night, so soon after dusk we had some decent fires going and had a few carols and songs. The Germans commenced by placing lights all along the edge of their trenches and coming over to us—wishing us a Happy Christmas etc. They also gave us a few songs etc. so we had quite a social party.

Behind The Crooked Cross
Music and Lyrics by Jeff Hanneman
Testo e Musica di Jeff Hanneman

Album: South Of Heaven (1988)
La canzone ha come tema il periodo nazista. Alla lettera, il titolo è "Dietro la Croce Uncinata" ma la traduzione più appropriata è "Per la Croce Uncinata", inteso come un emblema da rispettare. "La Croce Uncinata" è il simbolo che identificava la dittatura di Adolf Hitler. Definita come una canzone anti-nazizta, il testo racconta di alcuni soldati tedeschi della Wehrmacht (si riferisce a persone puramente casuali) che iniziano a pentirsi dei crimini che stanno commettendo. Il verso Forced to fight behind the crooked cross ("Costretto a combattere per la Croce Uncinata") fa trasparire il fatto che i soldati fossero stati convinti in modo ferreo a servire e obbedire agli ordini della dittatura nazista.

Ballad Of Richard Campos
Parole e musica di Luis e Danny Valdez.
Interpretata da Barbara Dane nel disco “F.T.A.! Songs et the GI Resistance”, Paredon Records 1970.
“This is one of two existing versions of this idea, both written by brothers.
Luis Valdez is the director of the Teatro Campesino, a marvelous people's theatre which came out of the California grape strike. His brother Danny was a young musician trying to make it in the big city, who quit and joined the Teatro when he saw how important this cultural extension of the strike could be to his people.
Danny wrote this song and then Luis wrote another of the same theme in Spanish, to show how empty the idea of "making it" in the Army or in any phase of present-day American life today could be. They wanted to address the "rnachismo" concepts in Latin culture too and put to rest the idea that the only way you could be a man, please your woman, or honor your... (Continues)

Bogside Volunteers
Owen McDonagh
Ciao
Mi interessa parecchio la questione nordirlandese, e quando ci son stato mi sono letteralmente innamorato della vista del Bogside dalle mura medievali di Derry.
Però...però non so, mi suona stonato mettere una canzone come "Bogside Volunteers" in un sito che si chiama ANTIWAR SONGS che proclama "Antiwar songs is a collection of pacifist and antimilitarist songs from all over the world and of any time, based on free contributions by readers and collaborators. This is why we have chosen a Database form for this website.".
Insomma...questa è una glorificazione di una battaglia, per quanto giunta dalla gente e non da soldati di ordinanza.
The police were firing tear gas shells they scattered all around
They said they had sufficient men to beat us to the ground
But we replied with petrol bombs and filled their hearts with fear
non trovate?
lancio il sasso e spero di sentire una risposta a breve.
intanto vi lascio tre immagini del Bogside che ho scattato io stesso.

A song against the Armenian genocide.
A song against the Armenian genocide.
t’s important for people to be aware of the atrocities inflicted on the Armenian people by the Ottoman Empire during World War I, and that those actions continue to be covered up by the Turkish government, the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Administration, and Turkey’s allies in the defense and oil industries. The Armenian genocide happened, it was very real to the 1.5 million Armenians who were murdered or deported from their homeland. Had the Armenian genocide been deemed a crime against humanity in the books after World War I, Hitler might not have thought he could get away with the Jewish holocaust.

Dle yaman
Armenian folksong preserved by Komitas Vardapet.
Canzone popolare armena raccolta da Komitas Vardapet.
Non si sa esattamente che cosa significhi Dle yaman; sicuramente non è armeno. In arabo, Yaman è il nome dello Yemen: una melodia (e una storia) di derivazione araba? Yaman è anche il nome di una città dell'Iran; ma l'ambientazione, persino con il monte Ararat, è armena. Si tratta, probabilmente, della canzone popolare più nota nell'intera lingua armena.
E' una delle centinaia di canzoni popolari raccolte da Komitas Vardapet (o Vardabet), ovvero "Padre Komitas" dato che vardapet è un titolo religioso della chiesa armena, di cui egli era sacerdote. Padre Komitas, musicista di valore, la rielaborò affinché potesse essere eseguita e conosciuta da tutti gli armeni. Nella tragica storia d'amore della canzone fu immediatamente vista una precisa metafora della storia armena, tanto... (Continues)

Armenians
A song based on the poem Armentsi, wrote by Peyo Yavorov, which expresses the heart-felt surrow for Armenian suffering.
ARMENIANS
Wretched exiles, rare survivors
Of a brave and martyr race
Children of a captive mother
Heroes with no resting place.
Far from home in squalid hovels
Sick and pale from lack of sleep.
See them drink to drown their sorrows
Hear them sing and, singing, weep!
Drink...
For drunkeness erases
Former troubles, present woes
Bitter memories effaces
Gives a broken heart repose.
Heads grow heavier,a mother's
Look of anguish disappears
And a son's appeal is smothered
For the mind no longer hears.
By a wolf-pack harried, frightened
See them scatter everywhere
As the ruthless, bloody tyrant
Waves his sabre in the air!
They have left their country bleeding
And paternal homes ablaze.
Only taverns offer welcome
To these wretched emigres.
Here they sing...

Adaptation libre de la poésie homonyme de Stefanno Benni in « Ballate » ed. Feltrinelli
En septembre 1992, passant par le stand de Rinascita à la Fête de l'Unità de Reggio Emilia, il nous est arrivé d'entendre lue à haute voix cette poésie de Stefano Benni. En lisant la quatrième de couverture du livre, nous avons décidé de la mettre en musique; en est née cette chanson au son pour nous insolitement méditerranéen. Nous avons fait entendre ce morceau au poète en personne et nous avons reçu sa bénédiction. Encore merci Stefano.
Dans « Combat Folk » et « Riportando tutto a casa » la voix est celle d'Albertone Morselli, tandis que dans « Raccolti », c'est celle de Cisco.
Le « campionamento » musical est une danse traditionnelle kosovare « Vallenga Gjakova ».

Ciao Sig. Venturi, grazie per la lettura delle sue belle pagine; mi interessa il canto da lei riportato che è diverso da quello che conosco di Dodi Moscati, parla di Napoli e non di Piazza Piattellina a Firenze; l'ultima strofa, come nella versione di Giovanna Marini, stacca nettamente dal resto del canto, che conoscevo perché cantato da mia madre (classe 1911, provenienza Casentino). Dilemma: il canto è di provenienza fiorentina o napoletana?
La ringrazio per una cortese risposta, Alessandro Bencistà, Presidente del Centro Studi Tradizioni Popolari Toscane e direttore della rivista TOSCANA FOLK.
