Lyrics and Music by Christy Moore
Testo e musica di Christy Moore
Dall'album/From the album Ride On
Con Lunny e il chitarrista Declan Sinnott, Moore ricostituisce il nucleo centrale dei Moving Hearts in un album più che mai intriso di passione politica e civile (a cominciare dalla intensa title track) che apre gli occhi sul mondo senza dimenticare le tragedie di casa (due pezzi, "Back Home In Derry" e "McIlhatton", portano la firma di Bobby Sands, martire del conflitto tra Ira e governo inglese). È puro folk di protesta quello che anima il valzer di "El Salvador" e "Viva La Quinta Brigada", mosso racconto che celebra i volontari irlandesi arruolati nella guerra civile di Spagna, mentre "The City Of Chicago" narra con ritmo avvincente delle prime ondate migratorie negli Stati Uniti. Ma c'è anche un imperdibile intervallo ludico sotto le sembianze di "Lisdoonvarna", esilarante cronaca di una Woodstock folk d'Irlanda che diventerà un happening irrinunciabile nei concerti.

Colonialismo
Il testo della canzone, così come la nota che segue, ci è stata inviata direttamente da Gualtiero Bertelli il 20 agosto 2006. Ringraziarlo di cuore è da parte nostra un enorme piacere e un gradito obbligo al tempo stesso.
"[...]A tale proposito te ne invio una che non ho visto, che non canto da tantissimo tempo, ma che è stata registrata, più volte, e cantata, molto, da Paola Nicolazzi. Il titolo è Colonialismo, è del 1972 (o forse addirittura '71) e la riprenderò nel nuovo lavoro che sto facendo [...]. La versione che ti invio ha piccoli aggiustamenti rispetto a quella cantata (benissimo) da Paola e li ho fatti giusto questa mattina pensando al suo riutilizzo." [Gualtiero Bertelli].

Apathesia

Words and Music by Sonny Flaharty
The title "Apathesia" is a word created from the combination of apathy and amnesia. The lessons from the past have taught us much, but the artistic and educational community has'nt done much yet to change things. We CAN help change the world and this horrible situation we're in. Listen close to to lyric and study what it's saying.

No, non è la versione coreana di Imagine di John Lennon, anche se in un primo momento ci...abbiamo sperato per aggiungerla alle versioni di una delle canzoni fondamentali. Sembra invece essere una canzone dedicata a John Lennon ed alla sua immortale canzone.

Sapore di cacca
E chi lo ferma più? Stavo quasi per andare a letto, dopo una dura giornata di CCG passata a inserire quintali di Ariel Boucher, di canzoni coreane, di traduzioni in cinese e d'altre simili cosette, quando, tàc, mi arriva l'immancabile meilìna notturna dal mio amico Scocciante (amico si fa per dire, eh). Stavolta, debbo dire, se l'è presa con un altro noto uomo politico (uomo si fa per dire, eh) italiano, anzi padano; non senza qualche ragione, probabilmente. Si tratta di quel tizio che fino a poco tempo fa faceva il ministro della repubblica, proponeva riforme costituzionali, si esibiva in TV sfoderando una maglietta con certe vignette danesi, per finire poi a tifare per l'Italia, nella finale dei mondiali, perché la Francia era formata da "negri e comunisti". Che dire? Mi sono assunto l'ingrato compito di fare da tramite a Riccardo Scocciante, è un impegno che mi sono preso e mi corre l'obbligo... (Continues)

Which Side Are You On
Copyright: Keith McKenry 2006
From/Da Centre For Political Song
"This song is my response to the obscenity of the so-called 'War on Terror', an obscenity compounded by the aggressive fiction peddled by the United States Government that in regard to its unprovoked invasion of Iraq, an invasion unrelated to the horrific September 11 terrorist attack on the United States but obscenely piggy-backing on it, that we are either 'for them or against them'. As every day goes on, and each side in Iraq becomes more enmeshed in perpetrating horror against innocents, we need increasingly to stand up and cry 'Not in our name!'" -Keith McKenry.

Song For Hugh Thompson

Lyrics and music by David Rovics
Testo e musica di David Rovics

Da/From "We Just Want The World"
"I was in a wonderful cafe (Hyperion Espresso) in Fredericksburg, Virginia, when I read in the paper about this helicopter pilot who landed in My Lai near the end of this horrible massacre perpetrated upon Vietnamese peasants by American troops. I never knew until I read this article that certain American troops were also involved with finally putting an end to it. The only reason Hugh Thomson's heroic story emerged after thirty years was because the government of Vietnam was preparing to give him a medal for his actions, and the U.S. Army decided it wanted to try to avoid being upstaged." - David Rovics.
