Chant Down Babylon (Feb. 15th)
[2004]
Lyrics & Music by Ken Tancrus
Album: Youth Reference
February 15th 2003 was the biggest simultaneous human action ever, when over 5 million people in 150 cities demonstrated the world's desire for peace, not war. The biggest event in the world happening this Feb 15 will be the Peace Not War Festival in London: four nights of live music, films and art to educate and inspire the peace movement. Staged by the producers of the Peace Not War CD and the Festival of Flight crew, the Peace Not War Festival was intended to reawaken 2003's vibe in preparation for the following global protest day, March 20, 2004…
The February 15, 2003 anti-war protest was a coordinated day of Protests across the world expressing opposition to the, then imminent, Iraq War. It was part of a series of protests and political events that had begun in 2002 and continued as the war took place.

Watching your country march to war is the most frustrating thing to watch. Exceeded only by seeing it turn out so badly.

Somebody's Darling
![Somebody's Darling](img/upl/569bb090b34099a21e778309924120f0.jpg)
[1864]
Lyrics by Marie Ravenel de LaCoste
Music by John Hill Hewitt.
Somebody’s Darling, was originally a poem written by Marie Ravenel de LaCoste, a nurse (and a poet) of Savannah, Georgia. The poem first appeared in print in 1864. Miss de LaCoste took her poem to Hermann L Schreiner of J. C. Schreiner & Son music firm of Savannah requesting that it be turned into a song. Schreiner forwarded the piece and the request to John Hill Hewitt.
The southern sheet music edition was published in 1864 by J. C. Schreiner & Son of Macon and Savannah, Georgia, and Schreiner & Hewitt of Augusta, Georgia. It was also popular in the North. The number of northerners who provided music for this song included Mrs E K Crawford, Leon C Weld, A J Abbott, William Cumming and C. Everest.

Vediamo se riesco a rispondere a tutto! Inanzitutto voglio rassicurare che no, non sono una di quei "pacifisti" a favore delle bombe NATO o dell'invasione dell'Iraq (anzi, la mia prima manifestazione è stata proprio contro quella guerra) è solo che credo che la violenza non sia MAI la soluzione. Possiamo non essere d'accordo, però per me "la pace ok, ma se non ci riusciamo facciamo la guerra" fa tanto "bombardiamo l'Iraq per portargli la democrazia" e sappiamo tutti come sta andando... L'esempio di Che Guevara e Gandhi mi è è piaciuto moltissimo perché è proprio così che la vedo; per me il fine non giustifica i mezzi, il Che per quanto nobile possa essere stato d'animo per me è un militare e quindi non potrà mai il mio "idolo" Lo rispetto e rispetto soprattutto i valori che difendeva, ma io sono il "tipo Gandhi". Poi certo, anche io ho i miei scatti "adesso lo faccio fuori" (sono un essere... (Continues)

[2010]
Album “Wake Up!”, con il gruppo The Roots
Bellissima canzone, l’unica dell’album scritta proprio da lui, John Stephens, in arte John Legend, grande voce, grande musicista nero che sta contribuendo, soprattutto accompagnandosi alla hip hop band dei The Roots, alla rinascita della migliore black soul music.
Una canzone dedicata ai bambini d’America, moltissimi dei quali – soprattutto neri - sono in condizioni di povertà estrema, di abbandono, senza istruzione, “prigionieri della storia” e di un sistema che si disinteressa di loro, salvo poi riempirne le carceri quando sono adulti.
“I was writing this song particularly in the context of what is going on in our schools. The fact that for too long, we have decided as a society that kids who grow up poor, kids who grow up in tough neighborhoods, don’t deserve the best education. We have decided that we will just give them the leftovers.... (Continues)

Humanity (Love the Way It Should Be)
![Humanity (Love the Way It Should Be)](img/upl/capa.jpg)
[2010]
Album “Wake Up!”, con il gruppo The Roots
Canzone scritta da Lincoln Thompson, in arte “Prince Lincoln”, musicista reggae giamaicano fra i più noti, prematuramente scomparso per un cancro nel 1999. L’autore la interpretò nel 1974 con il suo gruppo, “The Royal Rasses”, nell’album d’esordio intitolato “Humanity”. Il titolo originale della canzone era “Love (The Way It Should Be)”. Siccome però non sono riuscito a reperirne il testo originale, allora ho preferito attribuire il brano a John Legend & The Roots.

[1973]
Album “Back To The World”
Una canzone, piuttosto misconosciuta, contro la guerra in Vietnam, scritta quando ormai era evidente a tutti che la guerra era stata perduta e quando tutti potevano finalmente apprezzare quali ne fossero gli effetti collaterali in patria, con un’intera generazione di giovani ridotta a pezzi ed abbandonata a sé stessa.
“The World” era ovviamente l’America, casa, per i GI che combattevano in Vietnam.

[1863]
Lyrics & Music by Charles Carroll Sawyer
"During one of our late battles, among many other noble fellows that fell, was a young man who had been the only support of an aged and sick mother for years. Hearing the surgeon tell those who were near him that he could not live, he placed his hand across his forehead, and with a trembling voice said, while burning tears ran down his fevered cheeks: Who will care for mother now?"

This time the reason is not the British Empire, it's a transnational corporation with a very British and very imperial history.."
