Justice for the Craigavon 2

Pól MacAdaim
2015

Justice for Brendan McConville and John Paul Wootton, who were unjustly convicted of the murder of PSNI constable Stephen Carroll and sentenced to life imprisonment.
We believe the case was corrupt and the 'evidence' inconclusive, contradictory and discredited. Both men find themselves victims of a system that sought to find suitable scapegoats in the wake of the political and media backlash following the killing.

Oh Dolours

Oh Dolours
2024

"Oh Dolours" is an ode to Dolours Price, a radical feminist and volunteer in the Irish Republican Army. It's an exploration of the sacrifices people make in the name of liberation, and what kinds of compromises are actually worth the cost — particularly for women, who face sexist double standards even in militant resistance. We recruited the singers from Indoor Friends to join us in the third verse, to make sure that women's voices were actually heard.

Ní saoirse go saoirse na mBan.
(There is no freedom until the freedom of women)

Massilia Hi-Fi

Album: Massilia Hi-Fi ft. Baltimores - Arms Trade

Commercio di armi

Il 26 Gennaio 2023 alla trasmissione “L’aria che tira” su La 7 il ministro Crosetto dichiarava:
[…] Noi ci siamo resi disponibili a dare delle armi che non attaccassero i russi ma difendessero dagli attacchi missilistici. Quindi daremo un sistema di difesa che consenta agli ucraini di abbattere i missili prima che arrivino al suolo. Che mi pare sia una cosa difficilmente criticabile. Io non riesco a criticare un aiuto dato a una popolazione per difendersi da un missile che cade su una scuola, un condominio o una centrale elettrica”. Quanto ai “droni fuori sacco” se fosse una notizia vera “sarebbe un reato perché il ministero della Difesa e lo Stato non ne sono a conoscenza e quindi se fosse vera qualcuno dovrebbe finire...

Maktub

Maktub
(2024)
written by Gary Clark Jr., Elijah Ford, Jacob Sciba & Sama'an Ashrawi.
Album: JPEG RAW

Il titolo della canzone, come ha spiegato uno dei suoi co-autori, il giornalista culturale Sama’an Ashrawi, “Maktub”—scritto in arabo come مكتوب— è "un tipo di destino per il quale devi lavorare, un cammino attraverso il cosmo con un lieto fine solo se rimani sulla giusta via."

Trovo che sia una canzone bellissima che giustamente è stata accostata a capolavori come Get Up, Stand Up o Move On Up di Curtis Mayfield.

Merry Old England

Merry Old England
(2024)
Album: All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade

The people who travel here and risk life and limb to come to England and try and make a life for themselves is something we spend quite a lot of time talking about. A lot of these people are trained doctors, they speak four or five languages. It’s not that I’m pro-illegal immigration, I’ve just got this thing against borders. It’s very easy to create fear and anger and hostility about people.

Pete Doherty

*

Le persone che viaggiano fino a qui e rischiano la vita per venire in Inghilterra e cercare di costruirsi una vita sono un argomento di cui parliamo spesso. Molti di queste persone sono medici qualificati, parlano quattro o cinque lingue.

Non è che io sia a favore dell'immigrazione illegale, semplicemente ho qualcosa contro i confini. È molto facile creare paura, rabbia e ostilità nei confronti delle persone senza ragione.

Giorgia nel Paese che si meraviglia
Anonimo Toscano del XXI Secolo, 29-4-2024 11:27

"This is a love story that has never truly ended: the love between a part of Italy and fascism.

It is just as when an old couple meets again after long time, one sparkle is enough to revive the (strictly tricolor) flame, and to have it burning vigorously like in past times.

This time, the sparkle is a woman. A mother and a Christian.

I wish you a good Liberation Day. Forever."

Lettera del compagno Lazlo al colonnello Valerio
Anonimo Toscano del XXI Secolo, 28-4-2024 23:10

“La cosa veramente divertente è che c’è stato un tempo in cui i fascisti erano più autentici, più spavaldi, erano leoni, anche se solo per un giorno. Rivendicavano la loro identità senza paura di essere accusati di essere traditori e assassini della patria. Oggi, invece, hanno paura di definirsi, di rivendicare la loro fede”, scrive l’attore, che è anche direttore artistico del concertone del Primo Maggio di Taranto, nel post. E poi, si legge ancora: “Tradiscono la loro identità giurando sulla Costituzione antifascista e poi per stare seduti sulla poltrona diventano campioni della super Cazzola, cintura nera di arrampicata sugli specchi”. Infine: “Lo dico sinceramente: non ci sono più i fascisti di una volta. Solo pecore. Ecco cosa sono i fascisti di ieri che sono diventati i governanti di oggi. Meglio una vita da pecora che un giorno da leoni. Viva la Resistenza”. - Michele Riondino, 28 aprile 2024.

War Isn’t Murder

War Isn’t Murder
(2024)

The song’s message is direct and harsh, as highlighted by its title, “War Isn’t Murder.” However, it’s full of lyrical wordplay of the kind that someone who has been doing this a while usually comes up with. The whole idea of the song is to needle at the semantics that people use to discuss and paper over the nature of combat.

The Story of O.J.

The Story of  O.J.
[2017]
Lyrics and music / Testo e musica / Paroles et musique / Sanat ja sävel: Shawn Corey Carter (Jay-Z)
Album: 4:44

In the summer of 2017, Jay-Z dropped his thirteenth studio album 4:44 to near-rapturous fan reception and critical praise. The project was Jay’s most vulnerable and intimate to date, with the title track famously confirming allegations of infidelity mentioned on his wife Beyoncé’s 2016 opus Lemonade. However, LP standout track “The Story Of O.J.” was less personal and more societal, as the Jigga Man addressed racism and stereotypes within the black community with his signature incisiveness.

“The Story Of O.J.” features lyrics referencing infamous figure O.J. Simpson and his alleged belief that his wealth and influence transcended his race. “I’m not black, I’m O.J.” is a line rumored to have been uttered by Simpson in an interview, and it was quoted in the Emmy-winning... (continua)

American Folksongs of Protest by John Greenway
Philadelphia University Pennsylvania Press 1953
p. 95-96

This song is usually sung by the chained gangs of slaves who are on their way, being driven from Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky, to the more southern states for sale. The last line of each verse is the chorus, and gives a most impressive effect when sung—as it often is— by 60 or 150 voices echoing the plaintive grief of their hearts. This last line is intended as an appeal to all who have it in their power to aid in bringing about the jubilee of emancipation. -J. W. C. Pennington, D.D. Despite Dr. Pennington's contemporary affidavit that this is a Negro song, most observers will agree that its white origin is transparent; but it is worth including, if only for Dr. Pennington's intriguing phrase, "sung ... by 60 or 150 voices."

Tangle Eye Blues - Tangle Eye
Prison Songs, Vol. 1: Murderous Home, " Historical Recordings From Parchman Farm 1947-'48." - The Alan Lomax Collection.

Lomax wrote:” Sung by the cross-eyed prisoner whose mates had named him Tangle-Eye. Every good singer in the Pen has his own field holler with which he amuses himself in reflective moments. Often those tunes are kin to the blues, often they are composed of free yodeling tunes which seem to have African roots. The wild free melodies permit the singers literally to think and free associate out loud. The holler is, for me, the most expressive style in all our folklore. Tangle-Eye here tells his own story.”
Genius

“Tangle Eye Blues” is Tangle Eye’s personal story of incarceration, religion, and repentance. Based on his singing style, we can infer that this may have once been a gospel song that was popular amongst African American churches... (continua)

Come detto (v. introduzione), la versione registrata nel 1972 dai Covered Wagon Musicians ed inserita nell’album We Say No To War! è quella con cui la canzone (o meglio, la poesia recitata dal serg. John Boychuk con sottofondo musicale di chitarra) inizia la sua vera storia di canzone contro la guerra. E’ senz’altro basata sul testo portato alla base americana di Mountain Home dal serg. Mike Elliot, ma rispetto a questo è più breve: alcune strofe sono state eliminate, ed altre disposte in modo differente (anche con lievi variazioni testuali). E’ questa versione che viene diffusa in tutto il mondo come messaggio contro la guerra in Vietnam (ad esempio, il testo sopra riprodotto proviene dalla rivista Equality, pubblicata dal 1965 al 1974 e destinata alle forze americane e NATO in Europa;...

Two versions of the same song. First in TW Higginson* Army Life In A Black Regiment (pg. 169 XXXIV)
[For singing this “the negroes had been put in jail in Georgetown, S.C., at the outbreak of the Rebellion. ‘We’ll soon be free’ was too dangerous an assertion, and though the chant was an old one, it was no doubt sung with redoubled emphasis during the new events. ‘De Lord will call us home’ was evidently thought to be a symbolical verse; for, as a little drummer boy explained it to me, showing all his white teeth as he sat in the moonlight by the door of my tent, ‘Dey tink de Lord mean for say de Yankees.’”——T.W.H.]

Grace

1985
The song was written by brothers Frank & Sean O'Meara
Jim McCann, who often played with The Dubliners had the most success with it, but it was also sang by The Wolfe Tones, John McDermott, Barleycorn, and Anthony Kearns to name but a few singers. And at least also Andrea Rock & the Rebel Poets in their Ep "Mnà" (Women).

It was written about Joseph Plunket and Grace Gifford who married hours before Joseph was executed for his part in the 1916 rising in Dublin

Tom Clarke was a source of inspiration in the Post Office.
