[1967]
Album “The Windows Of The World”
Parole di Hal David
Musica di Burt Bacharach
Hal David scrisse questa canzone ispirato da Where Have all the Flowers Gone e Blowin' in the Wind oltre che dal fatto di avere due figli maschi di età giusta per essere chiamati alle armi in piena guerra in Vietnam…
Un brano che fa senz’altro il paio con What the World Needs Now Is Love.

Harrowdown Hill, vicino al villaggio di Longworth nell’ Oxfordshire inglese, è il luogo in cui nel luglio del 2003 fu trovato il corpo senza vita di David Kelly, un noto scienziato britannico esperto in biotecnologie, consulente del Ministero della Difesa ed ex-ispettore dell'ONU in Iraq.

Easter Parade
![Easter Parade](img/upl/victory_parade.jpg)
(1985)
Album: The Country Of The Blind
The jaw-dropping cynicism of Thatcher's victory parade still angers me today. It was to be an overtly jingoistic celebration. Troops who had fought were to march along with their bayonets fixed and buttons gleaming. Except the ones who'd come home with unsightly injuries. They - the ones who'd given the most for the cause - weren't invited in case they spoilt the jubilation with the horror of truth. After a media furore, some were belatedly asked along.
(Dust On The Stylus)
L'incredibile cinismo della parata della vittoria della Thatcher mi fa ancora oggi arrabbiare. Fu una celebrazione apertamente sciovinista. Le truppe che avevano combattuto dovevano marciare armate di baionette e con i bottoni scintillanti. Eccetto quelli che erano tornati a casa con ferite inguardabili. Loro - quelli che avevano dato di più per la causa - non furono invitati... (Continues)

Shiloh Town
![Shiloh Town](img/art/t123766.jpg)
La Battaglia di Shiloh, conosciuta anche come Battaglia di Pittsburg Landing, fu uno dei maggiori fatti d'arme del fronte occidentale della Guerra di secessione americana, avvenuto tra il 6–7 aprile 1862, nel SO del Tennessee. Le forze confederate sotto i Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston e Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard lanciarono un attacco a sorpresa contro l'esercito unionista di Ulysses S. Grant e furono a un passo dal vanificare la sua invasione del Tennessee. Una fiera resistenza unionista e l'arrivo di rinforzi dal Gen. Don Carlos Buell il 7 aprile fecero mutare la sorte del combattimento e le forze confederate furono costrette a ritirarsi da uno dei più cruenti campi di battaglia fino a quel momento dell'intera storia degli Stati Uniti d'America.

Lyrics & Music by Henry Clay Work
"Let me refer you to the song, "KINGDOM COMING, The year of the Jubilo", written by Henry Clay Work whose father spent some time in prison for helping thousands, YES THOUSANDS of slaves to freedom on the underground railway. Mr. Clay was a "fire-breathing dragon" of an abolitionist. As far as I can remember them, the words to "Kingdom Coming", which he deliberately wrote in "Darky dialect".
By the way, he was from Hartford, born in Middletown, Connecticut.."
Parole e musica di Henry Clay Work (1832–1884), compositore e songwriter americano che scrisse le sue canzoni più famose durante la Guerra civile.
Non ci si lasci ingannare dall’uso da parte dell’autore di un ridicolo inglese “da negri”: Henry Clay Work era – come tutta la sua famiglia – un fervente abolizionista. La sua casa nel Connecticut divenne una tappa sull’Underground Railroad,... (Continues)

It also addresses the historical revisionism with a very common sense approach. It's a simple song but has one of the best build-ups as far as an arrangements I've done thus far".
...Between ourselves: did 'Honest Abe' really want to set the slaves free ?
He maybe did it strictly for politics.. He never freed any slaves.
The Emancipation Proclamation applied only to Confederate States, which did not recognize Lincoln's authority at the time because they considered themselves to be a separate country...

Lyrics & Music by Rob Lincoln
A Civil War ballad and love story. For Civil War buffs and those who want to hear a real weeper.
"Charleston Town is my first true historical ballad, in that although it is historical fiction, it is not an allegory but a straight story. I had been inspired by reading The Red Badge of Courage and my Civil War history class at Temple as the backdrop of this tale of lost love. This version is quite a bit different than the version L&L used to perform. It also contains an additional verse. Some background – Charleston was reduced to rubble by the end of the war. This union soldier was originally stationed there prior to the war".

Anymore
![Anymore](img/upl/travis-tritt1.jpg)
"Anymore" is a song recorded by country music artist Travis Tritt. It is the second single released from his 1991 album It's All About To Change. It peaked at #1 in both the United States and Canada, becoming his second number-one hit in the United States, and his fourth number-one in Canada.
The music video was directed by Jack Cole, and was the first of three Travis Tritt music videos that tell the story of a crippled veteran named Mac Singleton. Travis Tritt plays Mac, who's struggling through his time at a rehabilitation clinic after being injured in a war, and has nightmares about it every night. He meets a friend named Al (played by Barry Scott) after waking up from one of his nightmares. Mac is also struggling from being away from his wife Annie. It was featured in CMT's 100 Greatest Music Videos in 2004, where it ranked at #64

Penso che questa frase si riferisca ai concerti di Paul McCartney perché i Beatles non hanno fatto concerti dal vivo dopo la pubblicazione di "Revolver"

Chamaroot non lo tradurrei AMICO che si traduce FREUND. Piuttosto tradurrei Camerata Kamarade che nei dialetti Bavaro-tirolesi si pronuncia Kamarot. Non voglio fare il professore ma, avendo vissuto tanti lustri in provincia di Bolzano conosco bene il dialetto sud-tirolese, meglio dell' Hochdeutsch. Viderschaun, sou isch.

Chanson italienne – Siamo gli operai – Fabrizio Varchetta – 2008
Le 6 décembre 2007 à Turin à la fabrique Thyssen Krupp éclata un incendie à cause de la rupture d'une vanne. Une chose simple, un incident qui aurait produire en Allemagne seulement un peu de peur mais qui, là, fit sept victimes : Rocco Marzo, Antonio Schiavone, Roberto Scola, Angelo Laurino, Rosario Rodinò, Bruno Santino, Giuseppe Demasi.
À cette tragédie due à l'incurie et à la non-observance des règles les plus élémentaires de sécurité au travail, à ce massacre, l'instinct le plus fort commande de répondre avec un hurlement d'indignation, et c'eût été la manière la plus simple.
Du dedans, de mon travail quotidien d'ouvrier, je sentis naître quelque chose de plus fort que la rage; je sentis le devoir d'élever la voix et de dire : « Nous sommes ». Je regardais mes camarades de travail et je voyais d'inconscients et obéissants... (Continues)

Soviet Reunion
[2004]
Lyrics & Music by James Earthenware
This song is partly about the tragic life of Léon Theremin, inventor of one of the of the first electronic instruments in the 1930's. He ended up owing too much money to banks to continue developing his futuristic devices. So he returned to Russia, only to be thrown into a concentration camp until he was released and forced to invent things of Military significance (such as the world's first bugging device).
I brought Albert Glinsky's biography of Theremin but I couldn't read it because it was too depressing. It is a great injustice that of the smartest people of the last 100 years could not find the freedom to pursue his dreams in either "Democratic" or "Socialist" states due to the respective economic and ideological restrictions that each culture imposed to discourage individuals them from pursuing anything idealistic or radical.

Protest Song
[2003]
Lyrics & Music by James Earthenware
Album: Prototype Jive
"If you ever see a compilation LP (Vinyl) called "Songs Of The Protest Era" it is absolutely one of the best records ever made. Every song features incredibly weird guitar sounds/timing changes, genius lyrics that cut to bone and most importantly the most naive and defiant melodies and harmonies ever written.
In my homage to the genre I think I got the lyrics right but my guitar playing is too post-punk and I don't have the angelic voice required to deliver the lyrical venom in a deceptively sweet voice.
People dug it when we performed this live with an ad lib harmonica solo in the middle. Don't like playing it anymore however because it doesn't fit in with the rest of the songs and it's too depressing..

Contessa
![Contessa](img/thumb/c1558_130x140.jpeg?1328220917)
Stavamo ascoltando la canzone degli MCR in macchina con persone che non conoscevano la versione di Pietrangeli. Quando siamo arrivati a casa abbiamo fatto delle ricerche sul web e siamo arrivati qui. Bel posto.
Mi piace il fatto che Pietrangeli parli di assenza del copyright, mi piacciono le due versioni.
Se qualcuno ne facesse una terza mi piacerebbe anche quella.
La varietà non fa mai male, la sterile contrapposizione sì.
Molte cose sembrano un controsenso:
a me piace la pace e mi piace la rivoluzione e se proprio devo esagerare mi piace una rivoluzione pacifica.
La guerra mai. Le guerre le fanno i potenti.
Ho 52 anni e mi piace ascoltare la versione di Pietrangeli, le mie amiche 26 e gradiscono ascoltare quella dei Modena.
Che male c'è?

Quaranta giorni di libertà

Carissimi, ho letto soltanto adesso - e me ne dispiace - il commento lasciato dal registra Leandro Catellani che ha fatto una giusta precisazione sulla canzone (ho verificato anche nel 45 giri in mio possesso) e mi ha lasciato dei gentili saluti che io e mia moglie Rita Barberis intendiamo ricambiare con affetto. Sono tanti infatti i ricordi di quelle straordinarie giornate, ma il pensiero più vivo è la stima e la simpatia che ha saputo infondere in tutti noi una persona e un registra - oltretutto molto bravo - come lui. Mi piacerebbe al proposito conoscere i suoi ultimi lavori e avere un recapito più diretto (anche per inviargli alcuni miei libri). Per quanto riguarda il film "Quaranta giorni di libertà", ho provveduto a mandarlo a chi me lo aveva richiesto e adesso ne sto predisponendo altre copie in DVD. Un abbraccio a tutti (e un saluto molto affettuoso a Leandro e alla sua Famiglia).

Feel Like a Number
![Feel Like a Number](img/upl/1005-1.jpg)
[1978]
Album “Stranger in Town”
Una canzone che – mi pare – possa fare il paio con Working Class Hero.
Celebre anche la scena del film “Body Heat” (“Brivido caldo”) di Lawrence Kasdan (1981) dove “Feel Like a Number” viene cantata da uno splendido Mickey Rourke quasi esordiente.

Chains of Gold

Lyrics by David Kilpatrick
"Nope, it ain't traditional: I wrote this one. But one day you'll hear someone sing it and you'll think it's been around 150 years!
Sometimes you just pull a line out of the air, and for this one, I just sang the first verse out of nowhere. After that, it was easy to get the rest together. It's not like my usual singing but this is the way I thought it should sound. The tune is either traditional or so obvious and simple it should be"

Caro Bartleby,
Merci d'avoir relevé cette erreur de traduction et je suis très heureux de voir ainsi lu attentivement et corrigé un texte que je propose; même si « j'aimerais mieux pas » (I would prefer not to) en faire de ces foutues erreurs. Comme je le disais l'autre jour à Riccardo [R.V.], ma connaissance de l'italien est assez imprécise et puis, Balzac (et tous les autres) ont bien eu droit à des correcteurs expérimentés... et ils en avaient bien besoin.
Quant à l'autocorrection...
Pour ce qui est de la nouvelle formulation, plus exacte, cette fois, je préfèrerais « ils les fit taire ».
Si les amis des CCG voulaient bien insérer la correction directement dans le texte....
Merci et cordial
Marco Valdo M.I.
Et un joli balancement de tête de la part de Lucien l'âne.

Lyrics & Music by Adrian J. Pratt
Album: Passions, Pains and Protestations
"FIGHT AGAINST IT... It's a cancer in the world, breeding fear and exploitation, trampling justice into frustration... we don't need this blind, cold, calculated prejudice.
'We all can be so prejudice' We all have our 'us and them' moments. We hide names we seldom speak out loud to describe those we consider 'different'.
Maybe it's fear. Maybe it's ignorance. It's not helpful. Its like a cancer that prevents us from discovering the riches that those who are 'not the same' as us can enrich our lives with.
The song itself doesn't need much explanation. It was written not long after the Berlin Wall came down (1989)... when there was a spirit of optimism still in the air.
The sound sample is of South African Methodist Bishop Stanley Mogoba, who was imprisoned along Nelson Mandela at Robben Island,... (Continues)
