Je vous salue Patries
Chorale des Chômeurs
La chanson « Je vous salue Patries » est une parodie, un arrangement d'une chanson de Georges Brassens, intitulée « La Prière », elle tirée d'un poème de Francis Jammes (1905), poète très croyant d'inspiration catholique, ce qui explique ce culte marial dans le poème original. Brassens l'a repris tel quel et en a fait une chanson très connue.
Ce n'est pas au départ une chanson très révolutionnaire, quoique très belle.
Revue par des militants peut-être moins brillants poètes, mais plus violemment pacifistes, elle est devenue « Je vous salue Patries ». Une chanson aux accents assez pédagogiques, bâtie sur les deux versants du monde : la guerre – la paix. Et toujours comme seule voie pour sortir des massacres, l'éducation, l'intelligence, la raison, l'amour, le travail créateur (pas le travail créatif... lequel est du pipeau, comme disait mon grand-oncle). C'est peut-être pas du grand art,... (Continues)

Album: Victims Of Circumstance (1984)
This is an anti-war song, with some very bitter words for the politicians and leaders who keep their people in the dark and ignore their wishes. The lyrics are set to a deceptively innocuous melody, contrasting sharply with the message. (from www.bjharvest.co.uk)

Ballad Of Denshaw Mill
![Ballad Of Denshaw Mill](img/art/t260370.jpg)
Album: Caught In The Light (1993)
Written by John Lees, this song is based on a Saddleworth legend which has its basis in fact. Denshaw Mill was a woollen mill which operated until the late 1880s, and was already derelict by the time of the first war, when the events described in the song took place. The line "a hole as rotten as ever fouled the green earth" is from a verse by local poet Ammon Wrigley, and the area is part of the Friarmere division of Saddleworth, known locally as the Darkside. (from www.bjharvest.co.uk)

Il brano che apre "1936, the Spanish Revolution", il disco che The Ex realizzarono nel 1986, in occasione del cinquantenario della guerra civile spagnola. Solo quattro tracce (They Shall Not Pass, El Tren Blindado, Ay Carmela e People Again) accompagnate da un accuratissimo booklet di 144 pagine pieno di documenti storici e fotografie provenienti dagli archivi della CNT-FAI.

Quarante hommes, huit chevaux : c'était la contenance d'un wagon pour les régiments de cavalerie, du temps où on se battait encore à cheval; une norme internationale. Alexandre Vialatte le répète assez. Il en a fait une sentence. Quarante hommes, huit chevaux.

Three-Five-Zero-Zero
![Three-Five-Zero-Zero](img/upl/Three-Five-Zero-Zero.jpg)
Pacifism pervades the book and score. The theme of opposition to the war is unified by the plot thread that progresses consistently through the book – Claude's moral dilemma over whether to burn his draft card. This theme is most intensely explored in the extended trip sequence in Act 2. The lyrics to "Three-Five-Zero-Zero", which is sung during that sequence, evoke the horrors of war ("ripped open by metal explosion") and point a finger at the Vietnam War directly when the tribe sing "256 Vietcong captured".
The song is based on Allen Ginsberg's 1966 poem, "Wichita Vortex Sutra". In the poem, General Maxwell Taylor proudly reports to the press the number of enemy soldiers killed in one month, repeating it digit by digit, for effect: "Three-Five-Zero-Zero." The song starts begins with images of death and dying and turns into a manic dance number, ironically celebrating the killing in an... (Continues)

De l'album « Qu'as-tu à faire d'un titre ? » (2005)
« L'homme qui ne dort jamais est un éloge de la sensibilité. Je pense qu'il y a des différences, parfois je me demande si l'être humain est d'un seul ou de différents – ne disons pas races qui est malvenu; cependant, il y a différents modèles totalement différents. Il y a des personnes qui détruisent tellement de choses en une seconde et qui n'ont pourtant pas le moindre problème; il y a des personnes qui passent leur vie pour sauver un petit bout de quelque chose et qui souffrent atrocement pour tout ce qui ne va pas. Je fais un effort pour les considérer comme des parties appartenant à la même espèce. Et dès lors, oui, je la définirais comme un éloge à la sensibilité, qui est peut-être ce qui nous sauve. »

I Don't Like Mondays
![I Don't Like Mondays](img/upl/_dwn1466113993_1721184158.jpg)
Bob Geldof wrote this song when he heard about the San Diego elementary school massacre.
In January 1979, Brenda Spencer , a troubled 16-year-old who lived across the street from a schoolyard in San Diego, took the semi-automatic rifle her father had given her for Christmas and began firing. Four people died and eight children were injured. When asked why she did it, she answered "I just don't like Mondays".
Nel gennaio del 1979 Bob Geldof sente la notizia di una sedicenne di San Diego, Brenda Ann Spencer, che si è resa protagonista di una sparatoria nella scuola di fronte a casa sua uccidendo due persone e ferendone altre nove. Alla domanda perché avesse fatto questo gesto lei risponde "I don't like Mondays" (ovvero "Non mi piacciono i lunedì"); questa frase ispira il cantante dei Boomtown Rats a scrivere una canzone.

our children are dying in the streets, it's time to put away the guns." Stan Rogers
The House of Orange is a Stan Rogers song about The Troubles, in particular about fundraising for the combatants in Canada. The overall sentiment of the song is "a pox on both your houses". The 'House of Orange' mentioned in the song is the royal house of William III of England, who led the Protestant side of the Williamite war in Ireland. It is on his posthumous CD From Fresh Water. This is the last song written by Stan Rogers before his death, and arguably among his most lyrically evocative
