Evacuation

[1988]
Album “Politics Live”
La centrale nucleare di Shoreham costò 6 miliardi di dollari e non entrò mai in funzione. Abbandonata nel 1989, si spesero oltre 200 milioni dollari per mettere l’impianto in sicurezza. Nel 2005 è stato convertito per la produzione di energia elettrica attraverso turbine a gas.
“This is one of the more recent songs. We have a nuclear power plant on Long Island which we've so far blocked from opening. It's a place called Shoreham, and it belongs to the Long Island Lighting Company, known as Lilco, which has assured us residents of Long Island that we need not fear any catastrophe, but if anything should go wrong not to worry because we'll all be evacuated from Long Island in utter safety and in perfect order, apparently. According to them, they had a test, and it worked ... So even though I felt immensely reassured, I still felt called upon to write a little song.” (Tom Paxton)

Leggo sui giornali di oggi e, in particolare – com’è ovvio – su La Stampa di Torino, titoli entusiastici come questi: “FIAT, la svolta si gioca su 51 modelli”… “Scommessa su un'Italia nuova”… “E' nata un'altra FIAT”… “FIAT: sindacati favorevoli”… “Il piano di Marchionne: 6 milioni di auto l’anno”… “Tra gli operai prevale l'ottimismo. La produzione può aumentare.”…

Version française – LES CARUSI – Marco Valdo M.I.– 2010
Tirée de la version italienne d'une chanson sicilienne « A li matri di li carusi » de Ignazio Buttitta, une musique d' Etta Scollo
Superbe chanson, comme tu vas voir, mon ami Lucien l'âne, à propos des jeunes « carusi », des jeunes gens qu'on exploitait dans les soufrières. Ceux qui s'ils ne finissaient pas rapidement écrasés sous les éboulements ou les effondrements, ne tardaient pas à voir brûler leurs poumons sous l'effet du soufre. Soufre, souffre, souffrance, soufrière, souffrière, souffrir, étouffer, mourir.
C'est tout-à-fait atroce, dit Lucien l'âne ne baissant la tête et les oreilles. Nous aussi les ânes, on nous a fait subir des sorts semblables. Mais pour des êtres vivants, c'est hallucinant, c'est insupportable. Ce monde est imbécile, méchant, sadique et avide. Tout çà pour faire du fric... Tout çà pour enrichir des... (continua)

A MOGLIANO VENETO IL SINDACO LEGHISTA VUOLE "LA CANZONE DEL PIAVE" AL POSTO DI "BELLA CIAO" - (Adnkronos-21-04-10) - "Il 25 aprile si festeggia la Liberazione: cosa centra la pur bella e importante 'Canzone del Piave'? Il sindaco di Mogliano Veneto, evidentemente, fa volutamente, confusione storica e politica, dal momento che i fatti che ispirarono la 'Canzone del Piave' risalgono al 1918, allorche' l'Austria-Ungheria decise di muovere un grosso attacco all'esercito italiano, nell'intento di piegarlo definitivamente, dopo la sconfitta di Caporett; mentre 'Bella Ciao' e' il canto popolare italiano che piu' ricorda la Resistenza, la lotta al nazi-fascismo e, quindi, il 25 aprile del 1945, giorno in cui i partigiani liberarono il Nord-Italia dall'occupazione". E' quanto afferma Alessandro Pignatiello, coordinatore della segreteria nazionale della Federazione della Sinistra. "Ricordare il 25... (continua)

J'ai ici avec moi dans ma maison de campagne Pino Veneziano, chanteur. Il vient de terminer de chanter un groupe de chansons gravées sur un disque qui sortira bientôt. Son succès sera certain car Pino à la puissance de la voix ajoute la force dramatique. Les textes sont de lui, les musiques aussi. Un chantauteur, qui fait de la politique et la sublime par la poésie. Son discours est simple, populaire et convainquant. Il réussit à se faire comprendre des paysans pauvres en majorité analphabètes ou semi-analphabètes. Ses arguments sont la vérité, cantate d'un du peuple pour un du peuple, sans mécompréhensions.

You Won't Get Me Down In Your Mine
[1965]
Album "We Travel The Road"
“I was reading about the dreadful mining disaster in Lengede, north Germany and said to Shirley [Colin Wilkie’s wife]: "You wouldn't get me down in a mine." Although I've changed the setting to a coalmine, it conveys my feelings to any kind of underground work”.
(from Colin Wilkie’s Songbook)
A Lengede, in Bassa Sassonia, nel 1963 una miniera fu allagata dall’acqua proveniente da lacuni laghi artificiali che la sovrastavano (!!!). 130 minatori rimasero intrappolati. 29 di loro morirono. Quando, dopo alcune settimane, le gallerie furono rimesse in sicurezza e si poterono raggiungere i corpi, i soccorritori scoprirono che quegli uomini, nel tentativo di aprirsi una via di salvezza, avevano scavato per 14 giorni prima di soccombere… Un corpo non fu mai neppure trovato.

Album “Live in Person” (Germany tour)
“After working for British Railways for nearly thirty years, my father was made redundant during a big economy drive to make the railways profitable [the Beeching Cuts, when more than 2,000 local railway stations were closed down]. To show their appreciation for all his years of service they allowed him to keep his railway uniform, which consisted of a jacket, cap, trousers, waistcoat and overcoat. They also gave him a choice of redundancy payment of seven hundred pounds in his hand or a pension of about nine shillings a week until death. He chose the lump sum, which was just as well because he was out of work for two years, which to a proud man like him was almost unbearable. He even refused unemployment pay, said he'd rather starve, which he nearly did.”

“L’orgoglio e la gloria sono soltanto un’altra sanguinosa menzogna che loro [the fat politicians] usano per tenerci tutti sull’attenti”… “Perché è chiaro che loro preferiscono le pecore agli uomini che pensano, ma uomini che pensano come pecore sono ancora meglio”

“This is the most controversial of Brian's songs, but he makes no apology for that, and the response of audiences around the world to its powerful and uncompromising lyrics show a huge and growing swell of support for the stance he's taken. Brian wrote the song after seeing, on a trip between Spain and his home in the North of England, the way that Irish musicians were treated at London's Heathrow Airport. He was part of a mixed party of Scots, English, Irish, Breton and Galician musician bands on their way between the usual hectic run of summer folk festivals.

Album “Gentle Persuasion”
Adattamento di una delle più famose poesie del britannico Edwin Brock
Sulla melodia della popolare scozzese Ye Jacobites by Name
Testo trovato su MySongBook
“Five Ways to Kill a Man is chilling in its deliberately emotionless tone as it uses the language of a practical manual to explore humanity's cruelty. Progress is reduced to the way in which mankind has "improved" its methods of killing. Inspired by a performance of Benjamin Britten's War Requiem and written quickly, the poem has an air of authority which Brock's reading emphasises.” (en.wikipedia)
