Belfast '71

Belfast '71
[1971]
Parole e musica di Allan Taylor.
Nell’album intitolato “The Lady”.

Sicuramente una canzone contro la guerra, e precisamente contro il conflitto nord-irlandese…
Però non c’è traccia in essa di alcuna analisi storico-politica… La guerra civile nell’Ulster è descritta come una guerra di religione e nessun cenno viene fatto all’occupazione inglese… Comunque si tratta di una canzone pacifista, anche se piuttosto “naïf”, composta da un’autore inglese mentre i soldati di sua maestà già da un paio d’anni rastrellavano i quartieri cattolici a Derry e Belfast… Il 6 febbraio del 1971 l’IRA uccise il primo soldato inglese, il fuciliere Robert Curtis…
I have listened to the prophets and I've listened to their news

The Morning Lies Heavy

The Morning Lies Heavy
[1971]
Parole e musica di Allan Taylor.
Nell’album intitolato “The Lady”.
Testo trovato su Mudcat Café

“I wrote ‘The Morning lies Heavy’ when my brother in law was due to be drafted. This was during the Vietnam war, although, as the Vietnam war is not mentioned in the song, whichever war it is is immaterial - the point is that any young man may experience such feelings before joining his unit, in any war situation…” (Allan Taylor)
The morning lies heavy on me, father

Get Down (The Proud and Noble Savage)

Get Down (The Proud and Noble Savage)
[1973]
Album “The American Album”
Testo trovato su MySongBook

“A great part of Indian culture, heritage and pride has been destroyed, but during the last few years the American Indian has become an embarrassment to the government of the United States by eloquently pleading his cause through the mass media. The Proud and Noble Savage is representative of many cultures that have been repressed and exploited, and few nations are completely innocent.” (Allan Taylor)
He had to get down, get down on the ground
