On April 25, 1974, 50 years ago, the Day of Surprises finally came in Portugal (José Saramago, 1966). For this reason, we have totally reshaped the page of its symbol song, turning it into a "Special Page". May it also be useful, and very much, for another April 25th: ours, in Italy. This year more than ever!

Ci hanno intervistati per un podcast di Natale: Come augurare buon compleanno a Gesù? Il nostro Natale suona buonista, perché la neolingua dice che sperare nella pace contro la guerra non è semplice buon senso, ma è quasi volgare. Con estrema volgarità allora abbiamo affrontato il tema dei conflitti nella musica con Lorenzo Masetti, […]

Una canzone sul “Come si diventa nazisti”, per citare il famoso studio che lo storico americano William Sheridan Allen (1932-2013) pubblicò nel 1965 (titolo originale: “The Nazi seizure of power; the experience of a single German town, 1930-1935”. L’edizione italiana di Einaudi era introdotta dal sociologo Luciano Gallino il quale scriveva, tra l’altro:

King Charles
The opening track from YUNGBLUD’s self-titled EP gets its name from King Charles I of England, a monarch over England, Scotland and Ireland from 1625 until he was executed in 1649.
King Charles is often viewed as a tyrant due to his belief that he could govern according to his own conscience and no other sources. Many of his subjects disagreed with his policies, particularly his levying of taxes without consent from parliament.

Filled with frustrations, “Machine Gun (F*** the NRA)” is an upbeat track that relates to public shoot out which has been highly increasing in the USA. In the song, YUNGBLUD also points how the government quickly blamed mental health for the increasing shoot outs.

The Great War
2014 was the centenary of the “war to end all wars” and I had the idea to compose some music around the subject. Rather than just release one song or EP in 2014, I decided it would be an interesting concept to release one song a year, from 2014 to 2018 that, combined, would form one (longer) piece of music.
In 2018 Bad Elephant approached me with the idea of releasing the project as a full album and this opportunity has allowed me to re-record and reinterpret the songs I had written since 2014 and also include some additional ones, the end result being The Great War album.

1917 was written largely about the Battle of Passchendaele fought between July and December 1917 in some of the worst conditions of the whole war, and described by Lloyd George as "one of the greatest disasters of the war ... No soldier of any intelligence now defends this senseless campaign ..."
The song also references the changing political situations, the Russian Revolution and French army mutiny, as well as the less well known British mutiny at Étaples.
Finally 1917 addresses the executions of 306 British and Commonwealth soldiers in World War One, many of whom were suffering from shell shock and unfairly branded cowards. There is a little nod to Magnum's superb song on the subject Les Morts Dansant in the lyrics.

Album / Albumi: Vai mo'
Il brano di Pino Daniele "E' Sempe Sera" è l'ultima traccia della track list di "Vai Mò", album pubblicato nel 1981.
La canzone è inspirata alla tragedia del terremoto dell'Irpinia del 1980 che colpì la zona della Campania (e della Basilicata) causando circa 3000 morti: "Chisst'anno nun se po' scurdà, avuote 'e gira è seme sera..." ("Quest'anno non si potrà dimenticare così facilmente, tanto sarà sempre sera") sintetizza perfettamente il periodo buio e difficile (la sera) che stava vivendo in quei mesi la popolazione campana.
Nonostante la voglia di riscatto ("... e' sempe 'ncuollo a voglia 'e dà'"), lo sconforto di una tragedia simile si ripercuote nelle piccole e grandi cose ("... ma i' mo' nun 'ngarro cchiù, nun 'ngarro cchiù a sunà").

La Zinovie, selon Lucien l’âne, est ce territoire mental où se réfléchit d’une certaine manière le monde. La Zinovie renvoie à l’écrivain, logicien, peintre, dessinateur, caricaturiste et philosophe Alexandre Zinoviev et à son abondante littérature.

Donc, Lucien l’âne mon ami, on poursuit notre voyage d’exploration de la Zinovie. Ainsi, la Zinovie est un immense pays qui se doit d’être situé nulle part ou partout, au choix. Il est affublé d’une autre caractéristique intrigante : il est en même temps présent dans plusieurs... (Continues)

Una canzone contro la guerra. Il testo, che ho composto di getto, racconta il rifiuto, da parte di chi non la conosce, vile o incosciente, di credere alla miseria e al dolore che le guerre portano con sé. La melodia, da me composta, è stata poi armonizzata insieme al Maestro e amico Maurizio Pulina.
Nota sulla lingua: Il turritano (turritanu), comunemente chiamato sassarese (sassaresu), è una lingua romanza nata, secondo alcune teorie, come lingua franca intorno al XII secolo da una base toscano-corsa, evolutasi poi autonomamente con influenze liguri, catalane, spagnole e soprattutto sardo logudoresi, tanto da essere oggi considerato, analogalmente al vicino gallurese, come un idioma di transizione sardo-còrso.

La storia di ¡A las barricadas!, il canto più celebre della guerra civile Spagnola, inizia circa quattro anni prima del suo scoppio; ed inizia con la visita in Spagna, nel 1932, di un giovane anarcosindacalista tedesco, Alfred Schulte. Alfred Schulte ha ventiquattro anni ed è un operaio metalmeccanico disoccupato; è membro della SAJD, la Syndikalistisch-Anarchistische […]

Chi bazzica l’odierna scena indie si stupirà forse della modernità di questa voce, una modernità fatta di coraggio e di grande libertà creativa, del tutto lontana sia dal bel canto sia dagli stilemi del rock italico dell’epoca, per volgersi invece a quanto di più stimolante veniva dall’estero. Prendete, a controprova, “Le mosche non hanno anima” che originariamente chiudeva il lato A: si tratta di un pezzo duro, di forte denuncia politico-sociale, che si muove sostanzialmente su due accordi, con un esplicito riferimento musicale al Lou Reed di “Walk in the wild side” e un testo di indubbia forza espressiva.

L’adozione ufficiale di Fida’ ī avvenne tuttavia nel 1996.

Sotto forma di filastrocca infantile, un ritratto umoristico e impietoso sullo stato del nostro pianeta.
Aujourd'hui, d'entrée de jeu, elle jette sa plume incisive et son humour noir sans difficultés sur eux et notre tragique société. Avec le titre « Aisément » Mademoiselle K aligne les vérités cinglantes sur l'état du monde et de ses finances. Certes, il reste un brin d'adolescence, de naïveté tantôt énervante tantôt attachante dans sa façon de combattre le monde d'aujourd'hui, mais on lui pardonne vite cette fureur de vivre. Une fureur nécessaire.

Tutt’a un tratto sulle sue labbra aleggiò un pallido sorriso. Chiamò a sé Negro che, docile, lo raggiunse accucciandosi fra le sue gambe. “Negro, vecchio mio, è arrivato il momento di andarcene, sai?”, disse. Poi, con in mano la siringa, Alexandre si avvicinò al vecchio cocker. Lo accarezzò per l’ultima volta, e dopo averlo stretto a sé, con delicatezza, gli iniettò la dose letale di morfina.

Single
The Jamaicans With Tommy McCook – Peace And Love
The song "Peace and Love" (Treasure Isle Records # TI-7037) is a collaboration between The Jamaicans (a rocksteady group formed in 1966 in Jamaica) and Tommy McCook (reggae artist, born 3 March 1927, La Habana, Ciudad de La Habana, Cuba, died 5 May 1998, Atlanta, Georgia, USA).
It took a strong anti-war position, saying that the leaders were focused on war, but that the "people of the world" want "love peace and love". It pleaded with the government: "don't send my brothers to Vietnam", and looked at the impact on families: "don't let...mothers mourn, don't let my father know the pain". Released in Kingston, Jamaica.

The song "I'm an Australian – 20 Years Old" also featured in The Vietnam Songbook, although no recording from the time has been found yet. The song took a comedic approach to a 21 year old caught-up in major court case for resisting the draft. It started out with the man going down to the barracks, lighting a cigarette, and his "call-up papers accidently caught on fire". Misinterpreted as a deliberate act, the "C.N.D. embraced me" - a reference to the protest group the Committee for Nuclear Disarmament, while the other side "called me a traitor".

21st Birthday

Tex Morton, a country artist born Robert William Lane on 30 August 1916 in Nelson, New Zealand. He died 23 July 1983 in Sydney, NSW, Australia. He released several records under the nickname The Yodelling Boundary Rider.
The song "21st Birthday" dealt with the Vietnam War, looking at the home front perspective, of the parents of a soldier killed in action (K.I.A.). The song was released in 1967 on single: 21st Birthday (Columbia (EMI) # DO-4785).
The song told of the soldier's friends arriving at his parents house to celebrate his 21st birthday, unaware of what had happened. A closer look at the shelf with letters and "you'll see a draft card... the nice letter and the medal they sent". The father concluded that: "our boy full of love has died now of hate" - which perhaps leans towards the anti-war side of the debate.

Testo trovato su Vietnam War Song Project
Un blues un po' straniante ma estremamente chiaro. Non voglio andare nel Vietnam del sud, non voglio ammazzare i vietnamiti, datemi un lavoro qua a casa mia.

(1966)
Band di garage rock formata da cinque soldati americani spediti in una qualche base militare in Germania Ovest. Dal loro unico LP, Black Monk Time, proviene questa Complication che al ritmo di una marcia militare accusa il governo di madare la gente a morire in guerra. Fedeli al nome del gruppo, i cinque si presentavano in scena vestiti da monaci.

Firstly, the song "Complication" contained anti-war lyrics, presented almost as a military march, as the band sung in unison, damning the government and military for sending people to war: "people cry, people die for you, people kill...people go to their deaths".

1966
The country song "What the..." (Is a Going on in Washington)" (Nugget Records # NR 247), by Bob Withers, is narrated from the position of a soldier in the war zone, who feared for his life: "here I sit in Vietnam...sent half around this world to die". Is this song criticising US politicians over the Vietnam War, or is it an attack on the protest movement? It included the line: "All these people were our friends not long ago, they fought Hitler, Mussolini, and Tōjō" - this could be a reference to the Vietnamese - a former World War Two ally, who had helped the US against Adolf Hitler (Germany), Benito Mussolini (Italy), and Tōjō (Japan)? Or perhaps it is an attack on the draft card burners and protester in Washington (as it included the line: "some guys have burnt their draft cards up at home, don't send them here") - who may have backed or agreed with the cause of the Second World War,...
