J'allais, vois-tu Lucien l'âne mon ami, traduisant au plus près, je m'en tenais aux temps pour ce qu'ils étaient... Tout allait droit et j'avais fini et même, j'en étais à insérer ma version dans le site... C'est dire, si j'avais fini. Quand soudain, tout a basculé. Les mots se sont mis à valser, le titre s'est décoloré et comme l'image dans un kaléidoscope enfantin, il a changé de formes et de couleurs.

Que me chantes-tu là, Marco Valdo M.I., mon ami, je n'y comprends strictement rien. Quel était donc ce titre qui s'est ainsi déstructuré jusqu'à disparaître et renaître sous une autre forme ?

Making History
[2002]
Lyrics and Music by Sara Marlowe
Album: A World to Win: Songs from the Struggle for Global Justice

"This is a song about the anti-FTAA protests in Quebec City, 2001 and the ever-growing international movement against corporate globalization and capitalism that was born on the streets of Seattle and has continued in every corner of the globe. From the fights against hydro privatization in South Africa, the G8 in Kananaskis, incredible uprisings in Argentina and demonstrations in Seville, to name but a few, it is clear that the movement is growing stronger. We are still winning! We will make a different history - our history!"

True Stories

True Stories
The "War Resisters"

Kimberly Rivera was the first woman US soldier to have sought asylum in our country to avoid being deployed to Iraq. Since moving to Toronto with her family a year and a half ago, the 26-year-old Iraq War veteran and mother of two has confronted struggles both personal and political: estrangement from her family back in Texas, long periods of unemployment and, above all, the imminent threat of deportation. Kimberly would not have it any other way. To Canada's first female defector from the United States military, her adopted home is a "peaceful environment, somewhere I can raise my family, somewhere I can be me".
The American military calls people like Kimberly "deserters". To their supporters in Canada and the US, they are "war resisters."
In January 2004, Jeremy Hinzman, a soldier in the 82nd Airborne Division of the US Army, made his way to Canada seeking political... (Continues)

Lyrics & Music by Sara Marlowe
Album: A World to Win: Songs from the Struggle for Global Justice

An anti-war song specifically about the about 'war on terror' - also included on the "ONE BIG NO" CD compilation released by Artists Against War
(This song was written just after George Bush started to bomb Afghanistan, in "retaliation" for the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon on September 11th. It is also about how other struggles, such as the Intifada in Palestine and imperialism in Africa are all connected and a struggle against the same system - capitalism)

The United Nations approved sanctions on Iraq and the continued bombing - for over 10 years prior to the latest attack.

End of War

End of War
(2008)

The idea for this song came about after reading Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax to my son and wishing the story offered a more hopeful lesson than the “if only” written on the rock at the end. Around the same time, I was watching Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s seven-part PBS documentary, “The War.” The film’s personal narratives moved me deeply and left me astonished at the senseless destruction of so many lives. I imagined how wonderful it would be if I could respond to my son’s questions about war by explaining that it was a terrible thing of the past rather than something my own country was waging in a growing number of places. With all this fresh in my consciousness, I somehow arrived at three chords that were hopeful and uplifting, and I found myself singing “the end of war” as I played them.

In writing the song, I couldn’t help but be influenced by John Lennon, to whom I pay tribute... (Continues)

Wavin' Flag

Wavin' Flag
2009

Un bel messaggio per le persone nate in paesi poveri, sottosviluppati, sottomessi che devono affrontare i problemi della guerra, la fame, la disperazione...un bel messaggio di incoraggiamento alla lotta, a non arrendersi, a migliorare sempre e comunque per se stessi ma anche per il proprio paese...
Una canzone che ci invita a credere ma soprattutto a sperare in un futuro migliore nonostante sembri che nulla sia cambiato o che si torni indietro o semplicemente che si rimanga sempre fermi allo stesso punto.

È la lotta o la resistenza l'unica cosa che non fa morire la speranza ed è importante che le nuove generazioni siano fiduciose e pronte a cambiare la realtà e le ingiustizie di un paese e perché no del mondo intero...
Da non tralasciare anche l'aspetto critico di questo testo verso i potenti che manovrano i fili accecati dalla sete di potere e dalla avidità.
When I get older, I will be stronger

Lyrics by Chemical Mike.

"This is part two of "The People's Money". Hope you all like it. I went more a more electronic sound this time, so no guitar in this one. I mixed it all down on a laptop, with some cheap headphones and a very low grade sound card, so the sound levels.
The story is quite simple really. You just gotta watch the news and go online. Besides it's all in good fun anyways, so you right wingers lighten up okay?

Ack Ack Ack Ack

Ack Ack Ack Ack
[1979]
7” EP “Another EP”

The song is a very basic anti-war punk song; the title comes from imitating the sound of a machine gun ("Johnny got his gun, ack ack ack ack...").
Influential American punk/alternative trio Minutemen frequently covered "Ack Ack Ack" in their live shows. Live recordings of different versions of the Minutemen's cover can be heard on the albums The Politics of Time and Ballot Result and the 7" EP Tour-Spiel, and a studio recording appears on the Minutemen's final studio album 3-Way Tie (For Last).
The Urinals' bassist John Talley-Jones directed a Three Stooges-inspired video for the Minutemen's studio version of "Ack Ack Ack" in September 1985; it would be the Minutemen's last video. The video is included as one of the DVD bonus features of We Jam Econo, a full-length Minutemen documentary. (en.wikipedia)

Major Tom
[1983]

Il Maggiore Tom è un persongaggio inventato da David Bowie e protagonista di diverse sue canzoni, come “Space Oddity”, “Ashes to Ashes” ed “Hallo Spaceboy”. Nel 1983 il musicista synthpop tedesco Peter Schilling riprese il personaggio per il suo singolo “Major Tom (Völlig losgelöst)” / “Major Tom (Coming Home)”. Plastic Bertrand, a sua volta, riprese il brano di Schilling riscrivendone il testo e facendone una canzone contro l’escalation nucleare.

Another Brick In The Wall Part I

Another Brick In The Wall Part I
"La paura alza i muri", è scritto in un graffito a Gerusalemme", raccontava ieri Waters - che assomiglia sempre più a Richard Gere - durante la presentazione del nuovo progetto, a Londra. "Il mondo è ancora pieno di muri. C'è un muro che separa i ricchi dai poveri, un muro tra il primo, il secondo e il terzo mondo, ci sono muri che dividono la gente a causa del loro credo e della loro ideologia. Il motore di The wall fu il ricordo di mio padre morto in guerra, ma ci sono ancora tanti papà impegnati nei conflitti, molte famiglie, soprattutto negli Usa, che hanno perso parenti in Medio Oriente e anche tante famiglie che piangono vittime civili. Oggi chi ha alle spalle una storia come la mia non scrive The wall, va a raccontarla nei reality show, in cerca di quindici minuti di celebrità. Si diventa famosi senza saper far nulla, non c'è più bisogno di saper recitare, cantare o che so io. Al contrario,... (Continues)

Canzone française – Des chiffres et des gens – Marco Valdo M.I.

Avec un titre pareil, c'est assurément une canzone chiffrée. C'est d'ailleurs étrange une canzone qui fait de la statistique. Dis-moi, Marco Valdo M.I. mon ami, qu'est-ce que cela signifie ? Serais-tu atteint de la détestable manie des chiffres ?

Rassure-toi, Lucien Lucien l'âne mon ami, il n'en est rien. Mais tu sais, notre monde croule sous les chiffres et si tu dis, par exemple, que dans le monde, il y a des gens qui meurent de faim, on va te demander combien et on va te demander si tes chiffres sont statistiquement fiables. Dire qu'un grand nombre de personnes n'ont pas de médicaments, ont faim, n'ont pas l'eau potable, pas de logements décents, même pas un abri, pas d'électricité, pas d'égout... ne suffit pas... On veut des chiffres... Eh bien, en voilà.

Succede a volte di inserire una canzone per motivi un po' sfuggenti; in questo, devo riconoscerlo, sono abbastanza assiduo. Ma Gocce di memoria, scritta da Giorgia stessa sulla musica di Andrea Guerra (una melodia "assassina" da quant'è bella), è stata scritta per un film, e per un film ben preciso. Con un argomento ben preciso.

Il film è famoso, e probabilmente si tratta di uno dei pochi film italiani recenti veramente validi. È La finestra di fronte di Ferzan Özpetek, regista turco naturalizzato italiano, e gay dichiarato. Nei suoi film, i temi legati all'omosessualità, alla sua percezione ed alla sua repressione sono... (Continues)
