Go Down Old Hannah

Go Down Old Hannah
Sono anche più tardo di Leadbelly che, al suo ingresso in prigione, si chiedeva a chi o a cosa diavolo si riferissero i detenuti con l'espressione "Old Hannah"... ora ci sono arrivato:

"Old Hannah" (o, meglio, "Ol' Hannah") = Hosanna, l'invocazione a Dio perchè salvi il credente, termine di origine ebraica. = "Hosanna in the highest", "Osanna nell'alto dei cieli" = The sun, il sole.

Arlington

Arlington
The meaningful song is narrated by a soldier that was killed in action and is now buried at Arlington National Cemetery. The hit song was actually inspired by Tennessee-native, Corporal Patrick Nixon, of the United States Marine Corps. He died in battle on March 23, 2003 after being ambushed while trying to secure a bridge in Nasiriyah, Iraq. After speaking to Nixon's father, Turnbull felt inspired to make his story into a song.
I never thought that this is where I'd settle down

mi va bene tutto: che nel '68 era un'altra cosa, che (per alcuni) il fine giustifica i mezzi, che la lotta (sempre per alcuni) può essere giustificata... PERO? scusrae, questo è un sito CONTRO la guerra e la violenza!!! A questo punto cambiate il nome del sito in "canzoni di protesta/comuniste/quellochevipare..." ma no "contro la guerra" perché questa canzone non lo è, punto. Anche perché poi noi pacifisti veri non veniamo presi sul serio...

Carissima Azzurra, che tu lo voglia o meno questo sito ha dei criteri (espressi peraltro in decine di commenti, introduzioni, addirittura pagine apposite...), ai quali ci atteniamo dandone sempre accurate spiegazioni.

Al Carneval
Version française – AU CARNAVAL- Marco Valdo M.I. a – 2010
Chanson italienne – Al carneval – Talco – 2010

Quatrième morceau de l’album «  La Cretina Commedia », dédié à Peppino Impastato.

« Les premières représentations du groupe de Peppino, organisé dans le Cercle Musique et Culture, prélude à un projet plus important dans les années qui suivirent – Radio Aut – eurent lieu dans les rues à l'occasion des fêtes du village. Une celle-ci, le Carnaval., Peppino organisa une farce, la l'insinuant dans la foule masquée et mettant en scène une représentation théâtrale, où des paysans et des édiles se plaignaient des patrons, calmés par un prêtre qui prêchait le calme en attente d'une vie meilleure au-delà de la terre. Arrivait alors un fonctionnaire de parti corrompu qui incitait au retour au travail sans se plaindre. « Car le Parti voulait qu'il en soit ainsi »... Puis le mafieux qui faisait... (Continues)

Just Another Soldier

Just Another Soldier
[1985]
Dall’ultimo album della band californiana, “3-Way Tie (For Last)”
Scritta da D. Boon

Canzone che probabilmente prende spunto dalla battaglia delle Termopili del 480 a.C. dove – leggenda vuole che – 300 opliti spartani guidati da Leonida tennero testa a decine di migliaia di soldati persiani. Quando Serse intimò ai greci la resa e la consegna delle armi, Leonida rispose: "Μολὼν λαβέ", "Venite a prendervele!", e i trecento furono finalmente spazzati via.
Over 300 dead, we still got pride

Album “Paranoid Time”
Scritta da D. Boon

Dedicata alla dirigenza del PD, Partito dei Deficienti, che a Milano si dimette in blocco perché quel “frocio” comunista di Vendola ha vinto le primarie con il suo Pisapia, che già cerca di screditarlo dicendo che “alle primarie hanno votato in pochi” e che “le primarie sono uno strumento che va rivisto” e che intanto cerca l’inciucio con il fascista Fini, divenuto leader dell’opposizione…

Old Soldiers Never Cry

[1975-1996]
Lyrics & Music by David Kilpatrick

A song for the veterans of all wars and any wars - not a lament, nor a protest, but a comment on the passing of time and the nature of men at war. Strong chorus and rhythm.

"Started with the first verse and chorus sometime in the mid-1970s, this is a song which was gradually built, then completed in 1996 when suddenly it hit me that the old Great War soldiers returning to the war cemeteries in France would soon be gone - indeed, they would have to be 100 years old. And that's what the song ultimately comments on: the distance of time, and the few remaining. But it's about more than that. It was also completed because my father, who was a bomber pilot in the 1945 war, had died; and I realised then that I had never finished any of the songs I started writing years before, and he's never heard a single one of them. So, in a way it was... (Continues)

Ground Zero

[2001]
Lyrics & Music by David Kilpatrick

"This song was not completed until October 5th 2001. On September 11th we were in front of the television, taking a lunch break from our office, when the news broke in. We remained there. I apologise to anyone who may be offended by my politics. I wanted to write a song which could sung by anyone, at any time in the future. It is played on my Lowden O-10 in Drop D with the capo on fret 1 and it's a very simple traditional tune".

Doce Brigada

Doce Brigada
Testo di Garcia y Garcia
Musica di Vittorio Cao
1937 circa
Testo completo da Altavoz del Frente



Non so qual diavolo, stasera, ha soffiato sulle spente braci del mio antico "mal de España. Mi sono messo a cercare in AWS e in You Tube le canzoni repubblicane, quelle che conoscevo ai miei vent'anni. Forse ne manca una, che mi insegnò personalmente il garibaldino Giuseppe Alberganti, ferroviere, che, dopo la Spagna, fu il comandante della piazza di Milano che diresse l'insurrezione del 25 Aprile, e poi fu dirigente comunista a Milano, e poi fu mandato a quel paese dal partito per il suo irriducibile, diciamo così, cominformismo, e infine fu presidente del movimento studentesco milanese. Lo chiamavano Diamante per i suoi bianchi e lucenti capell, di cui fin da giovane andò fiero. La canzone è quella della Dodicesima Brigata mista Garibaldi. L'ho trovata in You Tube e non in AWS. Io mando... (Continues)

The Vapors
[2002]
Lyrics & Music by Rob Lincoln

"It's a rocker that is very unplugged rock tune with strange chord pattern, inspired by the former administration (Bush and Cheney). Needs a drum, bass and perhaps a few lyric changes and a bridge, but I think it has an interesting feel to it. The first line could be my epitaph".

"This song is the only song I have written thus far that uses a foreign phrase. "Shalom Achshav" means "Peace Now" in Hebrew and is the name of a peace organization in Israel.
Honestly, I do not really understand the complexities of Israeli/Palestinian politics. My friends and family in Israel all want peace but obviously it's not as easy as simply shouting "Peace Now". However, it can't hurt..".
