One goal of this page is reaching at least the 55 languages of the Sounds of Earth golden disc; then, of course, we take this page and launch it into deep space!

Il 5 settembre 1977 veniva lanciata la sonda Voyager 1, che è tuttora in attività e continua ad inviare la propria telemetria, nonostante sia uscita già da un po' dai confini del sistema solare (la cosiddetta eliopausa). Si trova attualmente (dati del 9 novembre 2020) ad una distanza di oltre 151 UA (Unità Astronomiche) dal Sole, pari a 22 miliardi e 590 milioni di chilometri; questo ne fa l'oggetto artificiale prodotto dall'Uomo più lontano dal pianeta Terra. Il Voyager 1 ha una data di spegnimento prevista: il 2025, quando i suoi generatori termoelettrici a radioisotopi cesseranno di fornire sufficiente energia elettrica.... (continua)

Testo / Lyrics / Paroles / Sanat --> eddybonte.be (dq82)

Vietnam War Song Project


Jon Savage on song: Bobby Jameson rages against the Vietnam war
This garage-punk classic is a vehement statement against a war that, by early 1966, was spiralling out of control

A fanfare of slow, church organ chords – straight out of a horror film – resolves into a brutal Bo Diddley beat. A few blasts of harmonica carry the riff, and then a full-throated voice begins to testify. It's a stitch-up he's complaining about, and we're not talking pop-art clothes: "Senators the congress and the politician man, well they all got me in the mess I'm in/ Said I got a call from Uncle Sam, said 'send that boy to Vietnam.'"

This is a horror movie, only for real, and the singer is really pissed off because he knows what he's facing: "President Johnson... (continua)

Some Boys Grow Up to Be Soldiers

Some Boys Grow Up to Be Soldiers
(2020)


What was the inspiration for “Some Boys Grow Up To Be Soldiers”?

The character in this song is nobody in particular. We all know him. He’s somebody’s uncle, friend, neighbor, father, son. He’s far from perfect, but when he served he was willing to lay down his life. It didn’t come to that, but he lost some essential part of himself along the way. I think of this as an anti-war song. Not a song about the men and women who die in wars, but about the survivors who return to find home is no longer their home. Of course “he’ll never admit what it cost” and so there is nothing to do but soldier on.

Note. An English translation, made by Patty Malesh from The Struggle Site (Ireland), was already included in this site. Overtly labeled as a “tentative”, it has proved unreliable and been removed. This is a new English version (not a real “translation”) I have prepared for this site, even assuming it can (or could) be sung; anyway, a video is included in which a rather literal (and correct) English translation is provided.

The Blood Is on Your Hands
On May 15Th, 1983, The Instigators played a gig with the Subhumans which was organised and ran by punk poet Nick Toczek. Dick Lucas of the Subhumans liked the band's performance so much that he released it as a live tape on his Bluurg label. He then let the band record their first single the following year called 'The Blood is on your hands'. Before this, the band had already sent two tracks named 'Old Soldiers' and 'Monkey Man' for the Pax compilation called 'Bollox the Gonads'.

The War Prayer è un racconto breve di Mark Twain scritto nel 1905 ai tempi della guerra ispano-americana e della guerra filippino-americana. Fu censurato e pubblicato solo dopo la morte di Twain nel 1910. Il gruppo elettronico scozzese The Shamen ha ripreso la parte centrale del racconto e l'ha musicata inframezzandola con frammenti che fanno riferimento alla guerra fredda

Lovers in a Dangerous Time

Lovers in a Dangerous Time
(1984)

According to Cockburn, the song was inspired by seeing teenagers expressing romantic love in a schoolyard. In the song, he contrasts the hopefulness and joy of new love with the despair of a wider Cold War world where notions of the future often carried a sense of foreboding and doom. However, especially in light of Cockburn's next single "If I Had A Rocket Launcher", the song has also been interpreted by listeners and critics as referring to the same Guatemalan refugee crisis that inspired the later song, or to the then-emerging HIV/AIDS crisis. Cockburn stated in later interviews that he was pleased by both of these alternate interpretations.
