When the World Was at War We Kept Dancing
(2017)
Album: Lust for Life
Una canzone che si domanda quale sarà il destino degli Stati Uniti dopo la vittoria di Trump, e ricorda che anche nei periodi più bui della storia recente, durante la Guerra del Vietnam e la Guerra Fredda, ci fosse un'importante controcultura protagonista dei movimenti pacifisti e hippie e del movimento per i diritti civili. E anche oggi non bisogna farsi da parte, ma continuare a ballare e a lottare.

Spettri
"Spettri" è una canzone di Marco Laccone, contenuta nel cd/album/playlist "Niente Di Strano" , pubblicato a ottobre 2019 per conto di Empateya Edizioni.
Il brano racconta un sogno che si trasforma in incubo (da qui le musiche nell'introduzione). Nell'incubo il protagonista segue una "guida sicura" per sfuggire agli "esseri marcianti" che gli fanno paura, salvo poi ritrovarsi a farne parte. Gli esseri da incubo sono una sorta di vampiri che "danzano nel sangue" e non hanno paura di guardarsi allo specchio, perché questo non ne riflette più l'immagine.
La canzone denuncia il rischio dei conflitti causati dalla crisi di cultura e valori che portano alla nascita dei "pannazionalismi" di vario tipo ("i fiumi in secca, quando il fango affiora"), dal dimenticare il passato ("per ogni lacrima dimenticata"), dall'accondiscendenza e dall'indifferenza verso quello che accade intorno.
In questo modo, tutti noi siamo potenziali "spettri" che marciano insieme lungo una "notte senza fine".

I Wonder if Canada's Cold
1969
Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Milete wrote many songs for famous performers, including Elvis Presley. He avoided the draft during the Korean War, and did a stint in jail as a result.
The song "I Wonder If Canada's Cold" (Poppy # 69-0101) took a peace / anti-war perspective. The first person narrator set out for Canada in order to avoid the draft because of his moral opposition to war. Later released in 1970 on RCA Victor # 1909. Featured on the 1969 album Shirl Milete.

Album: The Common Thread (The Keith Reid Project)
As lyricist for Procol Harum, Keith Reid wrote the words to their hit "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" and many other nice songs. He moved to America in 1986, and in the mid-'00s started writing songs for what would become The Common Thread, the new multi-artist album which was issued in August 2008 under The Keith Reid Project banner.
He wrote this song with the Swedish songwriter Michael Saxell, who handles the vocals.
The song is about a woman whose husband is killed when he is sent overseas to fight a war.
Says Keith: “That song I wrote in Sweden. But it felt American to me. The military guy, to me it was an American. I think the characters, although I actually wrote it somewhere else, it felt like an American situation. The idea for that was, 'even the floorboards... (continua)

War Is Not Healthy
[2003]
Lyrics by Keith Reid
Music by Gary Brooker
Lorriane Schneider (1925-1972), a doctor’s wife, mother of four and printmaker, created one of the most emotionally charged posters of the Vietnam War era out of concern that her eldest son would be drafted into the army. At the time, given Lyndon Johnson and General William Westmoreland’s increased troop build-up, one need not be a fortune-teller to predict the inevitable consequence. But when the poster was issued in 1967, few could foresee that Schneider’s petition for peace would become the ubiquitous anti-war icon it was then or is today, almost 40 years later.
In 1967, Schneider entered a small print titled “Primer” to a miniature print show at Pratt Institute in New York. The only entry criterion was each submitted work could not exceed four square inches. With the war uppermost on her mind, Schneider made what she called her own... (continua)

Stranamore (pure questo è amore)
Buonasera, ho letto con interesse tutta l’anima discussione e mi permetto di dare il mio parere.
Secondo me la versione del semplice pestaggio fascista è veramente voler semplificare al massimo un testo che è volontariamente ricchissimo di riferimenti culturali. Ciò non toglie che possa essere una interpretazione possibile.
Secondo me, tuttavia, la scena descritta è davvero quella di un gruppo di attivisti di sinistra che malmena un malcapitato. Ma l’osservatore, cioè Vecchioni, ha l’impulso di dire “sono anche io fascista” come ad accusare i ragazzi di sinistra che usando gli stessi mezzi della destra anni ‘20 si rendevano -per l’appunto- fascisti.
Questa spiegazione mi convince di più perché l’osservatore in quella frase esprime un giudizio e non una frase dettata dalla violenza degli eventi.
Infatti, come qualcuno ha fatto notare, si parla di paura. La paura di esprimere una valida opinione, che però gli sarebbe costato un pestaggio.

Laurel Aitken, born in Cuba in 1927, moved to Brixton, London in 1960. He released the ska / reggae track "Stop the War in Vietnam" - obviously a protest song from the title, which is repeated over and over, on the obscure and hard to find album Scandal in a Brixton Market (Economy # ECO-8).

(1969)

Testo incompleto
dall'album Thinking Of What They Did To Me
Big Joe Williams (1903-1982), delta blues guitar player, born Joseph Lee Williams, in Crawford Mississippi, used a nine-string acoustic guitar, giving his delta style an interesting, unique sound. In the track "Army Man in Vietnam" (Arhoolie Records # 1053) he expressed a desire to "stop the war in Vietnam" because he feared that the government might "drop that atom bomb", a reflection of Cold War tensions. The song also showed concern for young men, at the age of eighteen, drafted into the army and given a gun. Note the minor reference to Christmas: "some will be home for Christmas, some will hurt real bad". Chris Strachwitz (founder of Arhoolie) recorded the song on 14 December 1969 at Arhoolie House in Berkeley, California. It featured Charlie Musselwhite on harmonica.

There are times since, I've felt like the child born of those two fathers. But, be that as it may, those of us who did make it have an obligation to build again, to teach to others what we know, and to try with what's left of our lives to find a goodness and a meaning to this life.

The War in Afghanistan followed the United States invasion of Afghanistan of 7 October 2001, when the United States of America and its allies successfully drove the Taliban from power in order to deny al-Qaeda a safe base of operations in Afghanistan.
The war in Afghanistan continues destroying lives, due to the direct consequences of violence and the war-induced breakdown of public health, security, and infrastructure. Civilians have been killed by crossfire, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), assassinations, bombings, and night raids into houses of suspected insurgents. Even in the absence of fighting, unexploded ordinance from previous wars and United States cluster bombs continue to kill.
Hospitals in Afghanistan are treating large numbers of war wounded, including amputees and burn victims. The war... (continua)

[2020]
Lyrics & music by Lee Shapiro
In 2020 (Part 2) is about the year of a CoronaVirus pandemic, systemic police racism, the BLM movement, riots, face masks, politics, and, of course, Trump making everything worse..
“When I wrote "In 2020 (Part 1)", back in February, it was basically a personal story about my medical issues and my continued anger and frustration of Trump. When it was written and posted online, none of the major issues that were facing this year had even begun. No pandemic, no riots, no protesting, no confederate flag protests, no Wall Street crashes, no face masks, no self-quarantining and no Trump making all of this much worse. So I had to write a second part of this song, to include everything that happened since I wrote the first part. The music is similar (with a faster tempo and some changes), but different enough to make it an entirely new song”.

Pourtant, dit Lucien l’âne, souvent, ils les méritent ces mérites.
Surtout, continue Marco Valdo M.I., quand ce sont des illusionnistes émérites comme Stefano Vicenzi, un gars presque célèbre qu’on célèbre ici dans cette chanson. Comme on le sait, un illusionniste, au sens propre, est quelqu’un qui fait des tours de... (continua)

Bell'intervento di Cosmo agli Stati Popolari di Roma in Piazza San Giovanni, domenica 5 luglio
In America hanno Kanye West, noi per fortuna abbiamo Cosmo Marco Jacopo Bianchi ha acceso gli Stati Popolari di Aboubakar Soumahoro con un discorso contro la dittatura culturale dei ricchi e a favore degli ultimi. È stato criticato duramente, ma ha ragione al 100%
Il successo è quello che la società sventola davanti agli occhi di tutti per far credere che se uno si impegna ce la fa, che se uno se lo merita può farcela con le sue sole forze, può avere successo appunto.
Tutto questo è ovviamente falso: questa società non è in grado di premiare tutti, non premia tutti quelli che lavorano e si impegnano [...].
Però c'è un altra terribile implicazione in tutto questo: se ognuno è responsabile delle proprie fortune, allora ognuno è colpevole del proprio fallimento; se guadagni poco, se sei... (continua)

Make Love
Album: Look For The Good (2020)
A prima vista sembrava che Mraz, cantore di good vibrations californiano la cui I’m yours era stata un bel contagio musicale del 2008, avesse sbagliato l’anno per fare il brillante con Look for the good, nuovo album reggae light, quasi ostinatamente pieno di ottimismo: si può veramente dire ancora “fai l’amore e non la guerra”? Ma dopo Minneapolis, le proteste, la repressione, Trump a Tulsa il dubbio sorge. Forse Mraz ci ha azzeccato: c’è bisogno di qualcuno capace di ballare in levare e cantarci su una storia positiva. E “make love not war” suona bene.

Born on the Fourth of July

I'm watching a country built on the foundations of slavery, genocide, real estate speculation and fantasy crumble before my eyes. May it crumble faster, and may I live to see the dust settle.

La cantautrice è andata su Instagram ieri, lunedì 5 agosto, e ha lanciato una nuova canzone intitolata Looking For America. Mentre Jack Antonoff suona la chitarra, LDR canta dolcemente. «Sto ancora cercando la mia versione dell’America / Senza le pistole la bandiera può volare liberamente / Niente bombe nel cielo, solo fuochi d’artificio e io e te», canta.
