Not as They Seem
[2003]
Lyrics and Music by Sara Marlowe
Album: Times Like These...
About the backwards media portrayal of resistance struggles around the world - Palestinian Intifada and the Iraqi resistance to the ongoing occupation (ordinary people being portrayed as terrorists, when they are only resisting illegal occupation).
Bush and Blair's nomination for the Nobel Peace prize was farcical (?!?!!) as well as Kissinger actually winning it!. Also, a Time magazine cover shamefully displayed a Palestinian, mourning at a funeral, with the headline "The New Face of Terrorism." The Palestinian man was holding a gun as is custom with such funerals.

Making History
[2002]
Lyrics and Music by Sara Marlowe
Album: A World to Win: Songs from the Struggle for Global Justice
"This is a song about the anti-FTAA protests in Quebec City, 2001 and the ever-growing international movement against corporate globalization and capitalism that was born on the streets of Seattle and has continued in every corner of the globe. From the fights against hydro privatization in South Africa, the G8 in Kananaskis, incredible uprisings in Argentina and demonstrations in Seville, to name but a few, it is clear that the movement is growing stronger. We are still winning! We will make a different history - our history!"

The "War Resisters"
Kimberly Rivera was the first woman US soldier to have sought asylum in our country to avoid being deployed to Iraq. Since moving to Toronto with her family a year and a half ago, the 26-year-old Iraq War veteran and mother of two has confronted struggles both personal and political: estrangement from her family back in Texas, long periods of unemployment and, above all, the imminent threat of deportation. Kimberly would not have it any other way. To Canada's first female defector from the United States military, her adopted home is a "peaceful environment, somewhere I can raise my family, somewhere I can be me".
The American military calls people like Kimberly "deserters". To their supporters in Canada and the US, they are "war resisters."

This song is written in memory of different victims of the same system - capitalism; Otto Vass, murdered by 4 Toronto Police officers, the homeless who die on our streets every year, the Palestinians and the new Intifada and Africans dieing from AIDS and prevented from accessing affordable medication.

CCRAP
[2000]
Lyrics and Music by Sara Marlowe
Album: A World to Win: Songs from the Struggle for Global Justice [2002]
The Canadian Conservative Reform Alliance Party, founded on March 2000, was quickly renamed to the Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance when all its opponents pointed out that its initials spelled CCRAP (crap:-))). The satirical magazine Frank proposed alternatives to CCRAP, namely SSHIT and NSDAP.
The 10 Year anniversary edition of the song written when CCRAP party formed - now the Conservative Party. Different name, but same old crap!

An anti-war song specifically about the about 'war on terror' - also included on the "ONE BIG NO" CD compilation released by Artists Against War

Lyrics and Music by Sara Marlowe
Album: A World to Win: Songs from the Struggle for Global Justice
The United Nations approved sanctions on Iraq and the continued bombing - for over 10 years prior to the latest attack.
(This song was originally written for Bill Clinton and Madeleine Albright who are responsible for the death of over half a million children because of the sanctions they imposed on Iraq. And now George Bush is threatening to spread his "War on Terror" into Iraq...)
