Freedom

Freedom
(Woodstock, 1969)

Richie Havens ha costruito sul palco di Woodstock uno dei momenti significativi del festival, di quelli che restano come punti fermi nella memoria di quell'evento. La sua "Freedom" resta una delle canzoni più emblematiche del festival. [...] Richie Havens, forse anche per il ritardo di altri, dovuto al caos che si era creato sulla stada che portava a Bethel, dove effettivamente si svolse il festival, fu il primo ad affrontare i cinquecentomila della platea, che probabilmente non erano ancora tutti, e a provare comunque il brivido che trasmetteva. Havens definì quella sensazione un "incidente cosmico". La sua "Freedom" (improvvisata sullo standard Motherless Child, sembra perché Havens aveva finito le canzoni del suo repertorio ma continuava ad essere richiamato sul palco dal pubblico), che innescò la prima scintilla fra il palco e la sterminata platea di Woodstock, risente...

Nikita

Nikita
(1985)
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Music by Elton John

The song Nikita appeared on the "Ice on Fire" album, which was released in 1985. It is the song that made me fall for Elton and his music! The song is about the old communist USSR and East Germany (the video was shot near the Berlin Wall in Germany) and how people were not free to do as they pleased. It's not about a particular person, just a general fictional story about how difficult it would be in those days for a Western man to be in love with a woman from the communist side of the world
(from Elton John FAQ)

*

Nikita è una canzone di argomento simile a Heroes di Bowie, un amore da un lato all'altro del muro di Berlino.
È interessante però notare che Nikita è un nome maschile in russo (ma non in francese) e, conoscendo il personaggio, credo che la cosa sia in qualche modo voluta.

The Blinding Of Isaac Woodard

Lyrics by Woody Guthrie

"I wrote this ballad on the 16th day of August in the year 1946, one block from the wreckage of the Atlantic Ocean, on the beach at Coney Island, New York." -Woody Guthrie.

Or this one I made up so's you wouldn't be forgetting what happened to this famous Negro soldier less than three hours after he got his Honorable Discharge down in Atlanta....
(I sung this Isaac Woodard song in the Lewisohn Stadium one night for more than 36,000 people, and I got the loudest applause I've ever got in my whole life. This song is a long song, but most of the action is told in Isaac's own words. I made this ballad up because we'll need lots of songs like this one before we win our fight for racial equality in our big free United States.)

Off To War I'm Going

Anonymous
Canzone popolare della guerra civile americana (1860-1865). Interpretata, tra gli altri, nel 1928 dai Carolina Twins (Gwen Foster e Dave Fletcher), di cui rappresentò un cavallo di battaglia.

"Although [Gwen] Foster was widely recorded -- both on his own and as a member of several groups -- little of his history is known... After leaving the [CAROLINA] TAR HEELS, Foster recorded with... Dave Fletcher, one of the original members of the Four Yellowjackets. These were credited to 'Fletcher and Foster' -- Gennett, and 'The Carolina Twins' -- Victor...
Gwen Foster's importance lies not in some great ability to create original songs, but in his innovation and improvisation in dealing with basically traditional material, and his fine musicianship...
Another waltz from the Carolina Twins. Probably this one dates back top the American Civil War. The Song is interesting because Fletcher and Foster have added a yodel which would never have been present in more traditional versions."

MRS. CARRIE RODGERS: "A pal of Jimmie's, Sammie Williams, told his sweetheart good-bye and went to France -- to be killed in action. So before the war was over, Jimmie found time to pick out words and air to his first composition, a sentimental song.... From the first his railroad buddies liked the song, and the young fellows in Meridian who were his boon companions liked it. With banjo, guitar, uke, they hung around the all-night places or strolled the streets playing and singing Jimmie's song along with 'Sweet Adeline' and other... (Continues)

Si veda anche Everybody's Got A Right To Live di Pete Seeger.

Una canzone che, forse, qualcuno potrà trovare sconcertante in questa raccolta; personalmente la trovo assolutamente rivoltante. Ma, in questo caso, è forse bene lasciarla a testimonianza di quale fosse l'atmosfera che esisteva negli Stati Uniti ai tempi della guerra nel Vietnam, dove anche un assassino come il tenente Calley poteva trovare giustificazione (al solito con il pretesto degli "ordini eseguiti"; un pretesto utilizzato costantemente, ad esempio dai nazisti colpevoli degli eccidi di civili durante la II guerra mondiale). Giustificazione che poteva spingere qualcuno anche a scrivere canzoni ributtanti come questa. Che lasciamo, qui, a... (Continues)

Most dangerous terrorists! That's just what the Raging Grannies are held by NY Police Dept. This is a group of elderly ladies moving against the Iraqi war. On yesterday's demonstration in Times Square, well armed with ambulatories and crutches, they wanted to...enlist instead of their grandchildren. 18 of them were stopped by zealous policemen, and then formally arrested, handcuffed and put into prison vans. The youngest is 49, the oldest 90 years old. No comment. We're glad to have a "Raging Grannie" in our collection, Vicki Ryder.

Le canzoni dei Radiohead sono spesso "ermetiche"... questa però mi pare piuttosto esplicita: "Voi e l'esercito di chi? Voi e i vostri amiconi. Dai, dai, Sacro Romano Impero! Venite, se volete. Potete prenderci tutti".

In Guernica
A poem by Norman Rosten
Poesia di Norman Rosten
Read by Joan Baez
Letto da Joan Baez

Album: Baptism: A Journey Through Our Time [1968]

Una poesia di Norman Rosten (1914-1995), dall'album "Baptism: A Journey Through Our Time" (1968), che conteneva poesie lette e cantate da Joan Baez. Su quel che successe a Guernica riteniamo inutile dilungarci, la cosa dovrebbe essere ancora troppo nota -anche al giorno d'oggi- per doverne parlare. O forse no? Chissà. [CCG/AWS Staff]

A poem by Norman Rosten (1914-1995) from the album "Baptism: A Journey Through Our Time" (1968), including poems read and sung by Joan Baez. We wouldn't spend too much talking about what happened in Guernica, it should be still so much known, even nowadays, to deserve reminding. Or maybe not? Who knows. [AWS/CCG Staff]

In Guernica the dead children were laid out in order upon the sidewalk, in their white starched dresses, in their pitiful white dresses.
