Hard-On For War
Dall'album "Under A Billion Suns" (2006)

Un'originale, interessante e per nulla campata in aria teoria sulle ragioni della guerra... Vi siete mai chiesti perchè le gerontocrazie di ogni angolo del mondo (trovatemi un governo o un parlamento dove la media d'età sia inferiore ai 60 anni!) mandano i giovani uomini a fare la guerra?

Bush War Blues

Bush War Blues
[2006]
Lyrics: Billy Bragg
Testo: Billy Bragg
Music: "Bourgeois Blues" by Leadbelly
Musica: "Bourgeois Blues" di Leadbelly

Proposta da Bragg sotto lo pseudonimo di "Johnny Clash", questa canzone è in realtà un adattamento di un vecchio blues del grande William Huddie Ledbetter, più noto come Leadbelly, il Bourgeois Blues.

Billy recorded this at a radio interview in Ann Arbor, Michigan, at the suggestion of his new American record label, ANTI, who really liked it when he played it at the South By South West hootenanny.
'Bush War Blues' was recorded at Big Sky Recording in Ann Arbor by Geoff Michael, Gregg Leonard and Chris Duross on 22 March 2006, so it's about as fresh as it could be.

Lyrics and Music by Nerina Pallot
Testo e musica di Nerina Pallot
Single


"Everybody's Gone to War" is a Pop rock song written and recorded by the London-born and Jersey-raised singer-songwriter Nerina Pallot.

The song, an anti-war protest, was written during the early stages of the Iraq War in 2003, and was composed on bass guitar by Pallot. The song was issued on downloads only in March 2005, and the following month saw a commercial release on Pallot's album Fires. The single was also accompanied by the popular music video which features Pallot and other shoppers engaging in a 'food fight' in a busy supermarket. It received heavy rotation on British music channels with many people praising the humorous setting, however depicting a darker message within. It was directed by Marc Klasfeld. - en.wikipedia

"大部分中国人对这首歌的第一印象是在一部叫做《桥》的南斯拉夫电影中获得的,在这个版本中原来的美人(bella)被改成了朋友。"

The Chinese version of the song, "啊!朋友再见"(Ah goodbye my friends) is not only singable and but also actually very popular in China (though usually with the last verse missing), mostly known as theme of the former Yugoslavian World War II movie Most (1969), its name in Chinese "桥" (The Bridge), or Savage Bridge in English.

The Ballad of Joe McDonnell

The Ballad of Joe McDonnell
Scritta da Brian Warfield.
"In 1981, Irish republican volunteers in a British jail on Irish soil undertook a fast to the death to retain their status as political prisoners. The British government demanded they be classified as criminals. Ten men died on the doorstep of the British government in one of the most turbulent periods in the tragic history of Anglo-Irish relations. This ballad tells the tragic story of one of these great men, Joe McDonnell."
(dal sito dei Wolfe Tones)

This song was written by the Wolfe Tones paying tribute,to a brave young Irish soldier who died in the H-blocks of Long Kesh, aged just 30, after 61 days on hungerstrike.He died in agony defying the British govenment's attempts to criminalise Irish republican prisoners.He died so that others coming after him would be recognised as political prisoners.

Sudako And The Paper Cranes

Sudako And The Paper Cranes
Dall'album "The Heart's a wonder" (1995)

"Sudako Suzaki was just a baby when the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. She survived but later developed leukemia as a result of the radiation. There's an old belief in Japan that if you make a thousand paper cranes (the crane being the symbol of health and long life), you can have any wish that you want. This is the true story of what happened. Today there is a statue of Sudako in the Peace Park of Hiroshima and children still go there with paper cranes."

Lettre à sa Magnificence le Baron Jean Mollet, Vice-Curateur du Collège de 'Pataphysique, sur les truqueurs de la guerre

da / d'après Le Petit Cahier du grand Boris Vian

L'on s'en doutait parfois, comme je ne saurais l'apprendre à Votre Magnificence, mais le doute n'est plus possible ; le moment est venu de le dire au grand jour ; la guerre est truquée. Quelle guerre ? Je n'en mets aucune spécialement en cause ; à mon avis, il n'y en a pas encore eu une bonne, et l'on verra pourquoi. Il me semble, et c'est tout, utile et urgent d'attirer l'attention des bons citoyens sur le mauvais usage que l'on fait de leurs deniers.
C'est le hasard d'une rencontre qui m'a mis la puce à la cervelle. Obligé, récemment, de laisser au garage mon char à essence (la paresse, je crains) j'eus l'idée, pour gagner le lieu clos où je travaille, dans un silence approximatif, à préparer la mise en conserve... (Continues)

Cantata scovata a Ciano d’Enza (RE) nel 1974 dal M° Marcello Conati.

This is a beautiful song. There are many people who enjoy Italian songs but don't speak the language, yet who would still like to know more about the song by getting the translation. The English translation of this song gives you a rough idea of the meaning but unfortunately is not something I can share with friends or make serious use of. Please find a way to update the English translation of this song. I thank the original translator for his/her work. Speaking two (or more) languages is something I think is contrary to my genetic structure. Thank you.

Rhymes and Reasons

Rhymes and Reasons
1969
"Rhymes and reasons" è un'espressione che si usa in inglese quando non si vede il motivo o la spiegazione di qualcosa.

"Rhymes and Reasons" is, I think, one of the best songs I’ve ever written. I wrote the song - or started at least - in the shower one morning. It comes from a very real and consistent thought that the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers. I do not feel separate from any aspect or from of life. I feel part of it, and bound to it, and the way I expressed the feeling was to use the phrase "the children and the flowers". There is a brotherhood there, and a sisterhood. It’s funny to me that even before the time of women’s liberation there was a desire to uphold that concept. The song is basically autobiographical. It’s not one of those songs where I’ve described someone who has a job to do in the world. I’m describing who that person is - the song is... (Continues)

He lasted 66 days before starving to death, and news of his death was followed by riots and protests worldwide, with the worst riots occuring in the north of Ireland. His funeral was attended by over 100,000 people. This is a good website with the history leading up to the strike. http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/events/hstrike/...
