Rapture Bell

Rapture Bell
[2007]
Lyrics and Music by Charles C. Tyler
Album: Charles Tyler

"This 3rd song is a satire on evangelical Christians.
One of three songs that I have written around the Middle-East conflict. This one focuses on the mad people who are actually hoping for the troubles in the region to escalate into a "final conflict" prior to the "Rapture" and the "Second Coming" of Jesus Christ. These are people who obviously don't have much grip on reality. It would be OK if they were just harmless nutters - but this particular wacky belief is potentially very dangerous.

These are people who call themselves Christians but who actually hope for Armageddon and for millions to die. They expect to escape death themselves and selfishly hope to be 'saved' by their faith. In my view these people are even more evil - if that is possible - than suicide bombers who actually have far more limited objectives.... (Continues)

PIANO N° 1: I FATTI

Attorno al 1885, gli studenti della École de Beaux Arts di Parigi frequentano assiduamente la cittadina bretone di Pont-Aven, circondata da splendidi paesaggi. Tra di essi vi sono i pittori Émile Bernard, Charles Laval e Paul Gauguin: in breve, il loro soggiorno in Bretagna si trasformerà nella cosiddetta Scuola di Pont-Aven, considerata la sintesi tra l'impressionismo e il simbolismo. Durante il soggiorno a Pont-Aven, Gauguin si innamora della bellissima sorella diciassettenne... (Continues)

Cycle du Cahier ligné – 82

Promenade au Val Salice est la huitante-deuxième chanson du Cycle du Cahier ligné, constitué d'éléments tirés du Quaderno a Cancelli de Carlo Levi.

Bon sang, Lucien mon ami l'âne, arrête de sursauter ainsi... Qu'est-ce qui t'arrive, à la fin ? Tu as l'air de ne pas pouvoir tenir en place...

Ah, Marco Valdo M.I. mon ami, te voilà enfin. Depuis le temps que je t'attends dans ce froid de canards... Il faut que je bouge, que je me réchauffe, alors je fais des petits bonds sur place. C'est ma méthode et de fait, çà me tient chaud.

C'est déjà çà... Et je suis bienheureux que cela te tienne chaud; d'ailleurs, je vais moi aussi sautiller un peu, le temps de notre petit entretien. Car tu es venu, je le sais, pour que je te montre la dernière canzone et je suis venu pour... (Continues)

The Mighty Zionists

The Mighty Zionists
[2007]
Lyrics and Music by Charles C. Tyler
Album: Charles Tyler

"Just another satire song ...on Zionism: This is part of my trilogy of songs on the Middle East conflict. The others are 'I want to grow up to be a bomb' and 'Rapture Bell'.

These days I no longer believe in a two-state solution to the problems of Israel-Palestine. This would only cement in place the enormous historical injustice done to the Palestinians by the late colonial movement known as Zionism. Besides it is now a virtual impossibility because of the spread of settlements.

The reality is that Israel-Palestine is already one country. It just happens to be a country in which one group of people oppresses and humiliates another while stealing their land piece by piece - and crying foul when the victims try to fight back. The central issue is not one state or two - but human rights.

The holocaust was a tragedy for... (Continues)

I Want To Grow Up To Be A Bomb

I Want To Grow Up To Be A Bomb
[2007]
Lyrics and Music by Charles C. Tyler
Album: Charles Tyler

"This song is meant to be a satire on Suicide Bombers, ...my exasperated response to the madness of people who think that by blowing themselves up and killing people who have a different belief to their own they are somehow going to achieve their political goals and are simultaneously doing something for 'God'.

It's bad enough for an adult to convince themselves this is a noble thing to do. Admittedly it takes a kind of bravery - albeit a bravery which depends upon an irrational belief in some better afterlife - but what kind of person can teach such nonsense to children and send them off to their deaths? And do this in the name of 'God'?

Good people everywhere - Muslims, Jews, Christians, Atheists - whatever - need to stand up to these dangerously brainwashed individuals and tell them the truth. They need help.

Biscuits And Milo

[2007]
The Hmongs are an ethnic group from Laos. Prior to the Viet war, they were mainly supporters of the Democratic Party. During the Viet war against the communist military government, the US recruited them as spies. They were promised security and food...
I went for a trip organized by Radion International to the camp. We were there to provide the needs of the kids by giving them some biscuits and Milo. What I saw and heard and felt made me write this song. I hope that I managed to convey the emotions they feel accurately enough..

There’s Better Things For You

There’s Better Things For You
[1960]
In Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger, “New Briton Gazette, Vol. 1”, Folkways Records.
Words by Peggy Seeger
Melody: the gospel song “There’s Better Things”

“Written in 1958 as a marching song for the first Aldermaston march against di H bomb”

Aldermaston è un villaggio rurale nel Berkshire inglese sede dell’Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE), l’agenzia governativa – ma gestita dai privati Jacobs Engineering Group, Lockheed Martin UK e Serco – che custodisce l’arsenale nucleare britannico. Tra la fine degli anni 50 e l’inizio dei 60 la cittadina fu teatro di grandi manifestazioni pacifiste.
Quella del 1958, alla quale si riferisce la canzone della Seeger, fu pure filmata da Lindsay Anderson, grande regista iconoclasta esponente del Free Cinema britannico (quello di “If…”, “This Sporting Life” e “Look Back in Anger”), che realizzò poi un documentario intitolato “March to Aldermaston”....

The Crooked Cross

The Crooked Cross
[1960]
In Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger, “New Briton Gazette, Vol. 1”, Folkways Records.
Words and music by Peggy Seeger

Una canzone sulla guerra nazista e sull’Olocausto degli ebrei in Europa che si chiude con due significative strofe di condanna per le gerarchie politico-militari alleate che, tolta qualche condanna esemplare al processo di Norimberga, non perseguirono affatto i responsabili di tanta carneficina e di tanto orrore ed, anzi, si avvalsero ampiamente dei servigi dei nazisti durante il periodo della guerra fredda.
The sudden crop of swastikas on synagogues and cemetaries in Germany and other parts of Europe produced this song.

Religion

Religion
[2007]
Lyrics and Music by Charles C. Tyler
Album: Charles Tyler

"I wrote this song while I was travelling in China a while ago - I had the melody before I left and a couple of ideas - wrote the lyrics on the road and recorded it about a week after I got back.. on 21 July 2007.

Perhaps being in China - one country where religion is decidedly on the back foot - had something to do with the way the song came out. It is refreshing, after travelling in many parts of the world where religion dominates society, to walk through streets full of people who see the world essentially as it is - without the weird distortions that religious views impose. China may have its problems, but at least women have equal rights for the most part and can walk around freely in tee shirts if they want - and I don't feel threatened there that if I upset someone's religious feelings they might kill me!

There is a picture of my book, Oh Holy Night: The Peace of 1914. My first boook was Christian Pacifism: Fruit of the Narrow Way.

Non toccate la mia terra

Tornano i No Tav, numerosi più che mai
da Il Manifesto

Li sentiranno fino a fondo valle, forse pure a Torino. A vederli sembrano una grande orchestra, senza il bisogno di un direttore. I campanacci dei montanari risuonano come i tamburi della Bugiard band («dedicata alle frottole che raccontano i governanti») e il battere a ritmo sul guardrail della statale è una di quelle melodie che si fissa in testa. Per nulla fastidiosa. E se ci sei in mezzo non ti accorgi nemmeno del freddo di un sabato alpino, ti fai trasportare dal fiume di gente che invade Susa, 40 mila persone per dire ancora una volta no alla Tav. Alberto Perino, leader storico, è raggiante, sale sul trattore che apre il corteo, prende il microfono: «Diranno che siamo quattro gatti», esclama con un sorriso sornione. E il primo spezzone della marcia gli risponde con un sonoro «Miao». Quella della Val Susa è una lotta radicale ma... (Continues)

Judith à Caporetto est la huitante et unième chanson du Cycle du Cahier ligné, constitué d'éléments tirés du Quaderno a Cancelli de Carlo Levi.

Que vient faire Judith à Caporetto ou l'inverse, que Caporetto vient faire dans l'histoire de Judith, dont je crois d'ailleurs me souvenir que je l'avais rencontrée et même portée sur mon dos d'âne; c'était en Judée, il y a quelque temps et un peu après, elle avait égorgé un général... Quant Caporetto, n'est-ce pas ce lieu où il y eut une fameuse bataille avec plein de morts ?

Lyrics and Music by Riccardo Marasco
Album: Il Porcellino


A proposito di "Degrado"
di Riccardo Venturi

Via Panicale è una vecchia, vecchissima, stravecchia via del centro di Firenze, nel quartiere di San Lorenzo, nei pressi del Mercato Centrale. Chi è di Firenze, e forse anche qualcheduno che non lo è, saprà che il quartiere di San Lorenzo, da un bel po' di anni, è "nel mirino" di tutte quelle forze (politiche, mediatiche, e soprattutto affaristiche -che delle forze "politiche" e "mediatiche" si servono come braccio armato) che ne vorrebbero fare, come tutto il centro, una specie di finto "salottino". Ora, però, si dà il caso che via Panicale, come tutto il quartiere, proprio la vocazione a essere un salottino non ce l'abbia mai avuta; ma poco importa. Si mettono in campo le armi consuete di questo tempo, vale a dire il "degrado" e lasicurezza.... (Continues)
