Zor And Zam

Zor And Zam
“They gave a war and nobody came” è una canzone sicuramente ispirata a The Monkees dal seguente passo di “The People, Yes”, poema scritto da Carl Sandburg nel 1936:

The little girl saw her first troop parade and asked, “What are those?”
“Soldiers.”
“What are soldiers?”
“They are for war. They fight and each tries to kill as many of the other side as he can.”
The girl held still and studied.
“Do you know…I know something?”
“Yes, what is it you know?”
“Sometime they’ll give a war and nobody will come.”

O forse Bill Chadwick e John Chadwick non sapevano nemmeno di citare il grande Sandburg, perché nel 1968, anno di uscita dell’album “The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees”, il concetto chiave del passo che ho riportato era già diventato da tempo uno slogan del movimento che si batteva contro la guerra in Vietnam. Infatti nell’ottobre del 1966 la scrittrice e poetessa pacifista Charlotte E.... (Continues)

Zingari

Zingari
Chanson italienne – Zingari – Punkreas – 2000

On ne sait pour les autres, dit Lucien l'âne, mais pour les Tziganes, l'histoire a la mauvaise habitude de se répéter. Pire, elle bafouille, elle bégaie, elle ne connaît qu'une manière : la chasse au nomade et cela depuis si longtemps qu'on a même oublié quand cela avait commencé. Finalement, ce n'est plus là méchanceté, c'est un réflexe conditionné, une habitude ancestrale, un conditionnement historique... pour la préhistoire, on ne sait pas... Pourtant, moi qui bourlingue depuis des siècles et des siècles, je peux te dire que les Gitans ou les Tziganes ou les Bohémiens ou les Roms, alias les Romanichels que j'ai croisés n'ont certainement pas été pires que les Sédentaires – comment les appeler autrement ? Les citadins, mais il y avait des paysans... Les citoyens, on pourrait imaginer les Citoyens. Mais attention, même nous les ânes, nous sommes... (Continues)

Più di voi

Chanson italienne – Più di voï – Punkreas – 2002
« Mourir du travail non. »

Nous avions déjà rencontré les Punkreas et même, traduit une de leurs chansons « Ma che bel mondo è », car elle avait fait l'objet d'une censure commerciale, de la part de ceux qui s'arrogent le droit d'enfermer les mots dans des contrats pour en tirer des profits des plus illicites... A-t-on déjà vu l'oiseau réclamer des droits d'auteur sur ses authentiques créations ?

L'oiseau, non. Mais des gens comme eux, oui. Ils ont réussi à enfermer le chant de l'oiseau dans leur caisse à musique, caisse enregistreuse , s'il en est. Ils ont coupé les ailes aux oiseaux, ils sont coupé la langue aux rossignols. On ne peut être plus crétin. Ce pourquoi tu avais toi aussi fait une parodie de la même de leurs chansons – What a thunderfull World.... Cela dit, la chanson d'aujourd'hui que dit-elle ?

"La storia sbagliata" (2010)


La vicenda si intreccia nel periodo della rifondazione dell’Italia moderna , attraverso l’abisso della dittatura fascista, dell’occupazione nazista e delle distruzione della guerra con protagonisti lombardi. Luigi Canali, nome di battaglia Renzo Invernizzi poi Capitano Neri o semplicemente Neri, personaggio chiave della resistenza comasca tra i primi organizzatori delle bande di resistenti sui monti lariani da cui prenderà vita la 52^ Brigata Garibaldi, uno dei più importanti raggruppamenti della resistenza Armata Comasca. Incrocerà la sua esistenza con una giovane staffetta milanese “ Giuseppina Tuissi” nome di battaglia “Gianna” .

Da questo incontro prende vita una complessa e ricca vicenda di misteri, eroismi e probabili tradimenti definita , nella prefazione di Marino Severini, la storia di tutte le storie, l’amore della Gianna e del Neri, un amore al... (Continues)

The Walk

The Walk
The song is a ballad in which the song's narrator tells about his life through walking. In the first verse, he is a boy who is reluctant to walk down the driveway to the school bus and go to school, until he is comforted by his father. In the second verse, the narrator is again comforted by his father after being drafted and sent to fight in Vietnam. By the third verse, the father is now very old and about to die, when is comforted by the narrator with the same words as before.

Where the Fraser River Flows

Where the Fraser River Flows
[1912]
Lyrics by Joe Hill
Music: Sung to the tune of "Where The River Shannon Flows"
Testo di Joe Hill
Musica: Sull'aria di "Where the River Shannon Flows"

The song was written by Joe Hill on the banks of the Frazer River during a particularly nasty strike in British Columbia, Canada. "Where The Fraser River Flows" was written to aid construction workers laying track for the Canadian Northern Railroad Company in British Columbia who were striking because of low wages, unsanitary living conditions, bad food, and hazardous working conditions. The song was first included in the IWW's Little Red Song Book in 1912.
"Several months before the strike began the I.W.W. had established Local 327 in British Columbia and had sent men to organize the construction workers. By February 1912 the membership of the local had grown to 8,000. On March 27 the strike began; within a few days construction... (Continues)

A bas l'Etat policier (Abalétapolicié)

A bas l'Etat policier (Abalétapolicié)
Ho trovato, per caso, alcuni elementi interessanti riguardo all'origine di questa canzone.
Il celebre ritornello sarebbe in realtà preso da una canzone tedesca del 1830 di tal Albert von Schlippenbach intitolata "Ein Heller und ein Batzen". La cosa curiosa è che in Germania questa canzone è più che altro conosciuta per essere stata una marcia di guerra dell'epoca nazista...

Ho trovato queste informazioni nella pagina di Wikipedia della canzone "Fast as a Shark" del gruppo metal tedesco Accept, all'inizio della quale si sente proprio una registrazione del ritornello. Questa cosa, sempre stando alla pagina di Wikipedia, causò qualche problemino al gruppo, che naturalmente era ignaro del significato del brano quando lo usò.
Altre informazioni, immagino, si possono trovare nella pagina di Wikipedia tedesca dell'autore del brano originario , che però per me è praticamente inaccessibile visto... (Continues)
