Weapons: our daily home war
Holiday In Cambodia
Questa canzone,tratta dal primo album della punk band californiana (Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables,1980), fu scritta dal cantane Jello Biafra principalmente per denunciare i soprusi inferti da Pol Pot e dal suo regime dittatoriale all'intera popolazione cambogiana. Una dura critica verso ogni forma di regime. Un inno del punk.
(A)lessandro Criscitiello

The song appears to be an attack upon both Eastern totalitarianism and Western complacency. The song's lyrics offer a satirical view of the young, self-righteous American upper class (So you been to school/For a year or two/And you know you’ve seen it all/In daddy’s car/Thinkin’ you’ll go far...) and contrast such a lifestyle with a brutal depiction of the horrible Pol Pot regime of Cambodia (Well you’ll work harder/With a gun in your back/For a bowl of rice a day/Slave for soldiers/Till you starve/Then your head is skewered on a stake).

Stick To The Plan
[2007]
Lyrics and Music by Graham Parker
Testo e musica di Graham Parker
da/from Don't Tell Columbus
"Poi, con "Stick to the Plan", arriva Katrina e New Orleans. Arriva al ritmo di un riff trascinante che non ti permette di lasciare fermi i piedi e la testa. A segnare il tempo. A cantare un atto d'accusa, contro la stupidità, e la grettezza di chi governa, che non ammette repliche." - Francesco Senia
A volte bisogna pur cominciare con due o tre cose banali. Tipo: questa è una canzone su quel che è accaduto a New Orleans quando è arrivato l'uragano Katrina. Oppure: questa è una canzone sull'America di oggi, e una canzone dura. Ci potremmo anche aggiungere, dal punto di vista particolare del nostro sito, che c'è pure una strofa (la seconda) che "giustifica il suo inserimento" in pieno, con il suo riferimento chiaro alle guerre di Bush.
Il fatto è che avevo deciso di mettere questa canzone... (Continues)

Talking Cabinet Blues

The World's Only Known Singing C.I.A. Agent
Singing CIA Agent George Shrub and satirist Dave Lippman have terrified and delighted, according to their respective styles, audiences from the George Bush era to the era of George Bush.

George Shrub has been traveling throughout his globalized domain, sharing his Point of View (the Right One) so that people won't need their own. He employs anti-folk songs and interventionary anthems to explain (and enforce) that the business of America is none of your business, that unions are never civil, and that the proper place for himself, like Wal-Mart, is everywhere.

Robyn and Gandeleyn è classificata tra le più tipiche Green Forest Ballads, ed anche tra quelle che preservano (per la sua antichità) le atmosfere autentiche, ancora non inquinate da certo "romanticismo". Qui gli avvenimenti sono invece riportati in tutta la sua tragica crudezza.

The song was released as a double 'A' side with "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" in September 1982.
"The song is a typical Clash condemnation of the wrongs that they saw in the world as they wrote the song. The first verses are about the shutting down of steel mills in England and America, and the general war on the working peoples of those countries. The second verse concerns the abandonment of children in Vietnam who were fathered by American soldiers during the Vietnam War. The third verse is about their views of American Apathy due to "Junkiedom" and various entertainment (drugs, cars, amusement parks). The final verses consider the plight of immigrants new to America.

Album: Arthur (Or The Decline and Fall of the British Empire)
"This song is about how Great Britain struggled after World War II. The first verse is Winston Churchill (who was Britain's Prime Minister during the war) telling the people what will happen, and the second verse is England collapsing. The lyrics contain quotes from Churchill, such as: "Never was so much owed by so many to so few," "We shall fight on the beaches" and "This was their finest hour."
The album is about Ray Davies' brother-in-law named Arthur, and his plans to move to Australia with his family and wife. Critics loved the album, but it only gained moderate commercial success.
This song uses a vintage Air Raid Siren."

La versione persiana da questo forum
Persian version from this forum
جان لنن خواننده معروف گروه بيتل ها متولد 1940 ليورپول ، انگلستان ، در نيمه شب پائيز 1980 در مقابل آپارتمان مسكوني اش در شهر نيويورك بدست طرفداري نيمه ديوانه با شليك پنج گلوله به قتل رسيد . طرفداري كه در عصــــــر همان روز از او تقاضاي امضاء كرده بود .
ترانه هاي Imagine , (Just Like) Starting over , Woman از جمله پرطرفدار ترين ترانه هاي وي پس ازمرگش به شمار مي روند .
از " تصور كن " به عنوان موفق ترين آلبوم جان لنن ياد مي شود آلبومي كه در 1971 بهمراه همسرش يو كو اُنو در استوديوي آپارتمان خود ضبط كرد . ترانه زير بر گرفته از همين آلبوم مي باشد ترانه اي كه نه تنها در زمان خود بلكه پس از گذشتن چندين دهه هنوز الهام بخش بسياري است .
Un ringraziamento speciale va al sig. Milad Maleki, che ci ha scritto segnalandoci che questa versione, finora presentata come "araba", è in realtà in lingua persiana.... (Continues)

Leningrad
Album: Storm Front - 1989
Lyrics and music by Billy Joel
Testo e musica di Billy Joel
Probabile che questa sia una delle più belle canzoni della raccolta, sicuramente un inserimento molto (anzi troppo) tardivo.
The song was written by Billy about a Russian clown named Viktor Razinov, whom he met while touring the Soviet Union in 1987. Throughout the song, major items of Viktor's and Billy's lives are compared to show the cultural differences and similarities of the United States of America and the Soviet Union.
In the song, Billy describes Viktor's life as one of many Soviet children who lost fathers during World War II, specifically during the siege of Leningrad. He enlisted in the Red Army, drank vodka to fight the pain, and then became a circus clown, bringing joy to Russian children.
Billy described his childhood life as being "born in 49, a cold war kid in McCarthy time." He briefly... (Continues)

Plattgeflickt
(2005)
Scritta da Udo Lindenberg
Presentata all'Eurovision del 2005
Una canzone contro la guerra e per il sesso sfrenato. L'unica arma da accettare è...
Ma, al di là di questo, anche una canzone da considerare con molta meno "goliardia" di quanto sarebbe facile immaginarsi. Dare un'occhiata alla traduzione. [RV]

Song Itineraries:
Make Love, Not War
Gulf War Song
[1991/92]
"The band formed in 1990 when Jian Ghomeshi and Murray Foster, former classmates at the local Thornlea Secondary School, and participants in the school choir, joined with Mike Ford and David Matheson to busk in Toronto. They drew unusually large crowds, and, eventually, the attention of Toronto-based CBC Radio One, which commissioned songs about political and local issues for the radio show Later the Same Day. Some songs written for the show later appeared on their albums; these songs include "The Gulf War Song" and "My Baby Loves a Bunch of Authors", which was written for a Toronto authors' festival."

Vietnam Serenade
[1982]
Nel disco intitolato "It’s Time to See Who’s Who" pubblicato nel 1983.
In questa canzone dei Conflict si accenna ad un parallelismo tra l’avventura statunitense in Vietnam e quella in Centro America, in Salvador in particolare.
Dopo la cocente sconfitta nel sud-est asiatico, l’amministrazione americana – da Jimmy Carter a Ronald Reagan – concentrò la sua attenzione sugli affari interni e sul proprio “cortile di casa”. Infatti, a parte la vicenda degli ostaggi americani a Tehrān e l’operazione di peacekeeping in Libano (entrambe risoltesi malamente, e con la morte di molti soldati a stelle strisce), a tenere banco furono il contrasto alla rivoluzione sandinista, l’aiuto ai regimi fascisti centro e sud americani, l’invasione di Grenada.
A tenere le fila di molte di queste vicende fu il personaggio citato nella canzone, Alexander Haig, un ufficiale dell’esercito, con alle spalle Corea... (Continues)

Cruise
[1984]
Nel disco intitolato “Increase The Pressure”.
Oltre alla “Iron Lady” Maggie Thatcher e all’allora premier sovietico Jurij Vladimirovič Andropov (non riesco nemmeno a ricordare la faccia di quel burocrate…) nella canzone sono citati Michael Heseltine, consigliere sia della Thatcher che di Major, mentre “Raygun” si riferisce certamente a Ronald Reagan e alla sua fissa per le “guerre stellari” condensata nella cosiddetta “Strategic Defense Initiative”, quello “scudo stellare” la cui costruzione, avviata nel 1983 e sospesa 10 anni dopo, è costata oltre 200 miliardi di dollari ai contribuenti USA e dei paesi alleati senza che sia mai stato effettivamente realizzato e tanto meno testato…

Pink Floyd: Free Four
[1972]
[Roger Waters]
Pink Floyd
From/da "Obscured by Clouds"
Nota. Sono stato io stesso a inserire la canzone, ma a volte capita di prendere un po' un abbaglio. Evidentemente, pur essendovi nominato il padre di Roger Waters, la canzone non ha niente a che vedere né con la guerra, né in qualche modo con i "temi allargati" di questo sito; casomai è una canzone assai critica dell'industria discografica. Per questi motivi la sposto opportunamente negli Extra. [RV]
Free Four" is a Pink Floyd song written by Roger Waters, with Waters also taking on lead vocals, from the album Obscured by Clouds. The song begins with a rock and roll countdown; but in this case Pink Floyd decided to play with words and record, "One, Two, FREE FOUR!". The song deals with themes that would become standard for Roger in albums following this, notably his father's death and the "evils" of the record industry. Although... (Continues)
