John Dolva Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Rage Against The Machine Wake Up Lyrics: Come on! Uggh! Come on, although ya try to discredit Ya still never edit The needle, I'll thread it Radically poetic Standin' with the fury that they had in '66 And like E-Double I'm mad Still knee-deep in the system's xxxx Hoover, he was a body remover I'll give ya a dose But it'll never come close To the rage built up inside of me Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy Movements come and movements go Leaders speak, movements cease When their heads are flown 'Cause all these punks Got bullets in their heads Departments of police, the judges, the feds Networks at work, keepin' people calm You know they went after King When he spoke out on Vietnam He turned the power to the have-nots And then came the shot Yeah! Yeah, back in this... Wit' poetry, my mind I flex Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin' dat finesse Whadda I got to, whadda I got to do to wake ya up To shake ya up, to break the structure up 'Cause blood still flows in the gutter I'm like takin' photos Mad boy kicks open the shutter Set the groove Then stick and move like I was Cassius Rep the stutter step Then bomb a left upon the fascists Yea, the several federal men Who pulled schemes on the dream And put it to an end Ya better beware Of retribution with mind war 20/20 visions and murals with metaphors Networks at work, keepin' people calm Ya know they murdered X And tried to blame it on Islam He turned the power to the have-nots And then came the shot Uggh! What was the price on his head? What was the price on his head! I think I heard a shot I think I heard a shot I think I heard a shot I think I heard a shot I think I heard a shot I think I heard, I think I heard a shot 'He may be a real contender for this position should he abandon his supposed obediance to white liberal doctrine of non-violence...and embrace black nationalism' 'Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential trouble-makers...And neutralize them, neutralize them, neutralize them' Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! How long? Not long, cause what you reap is what you sow...

John Dolva Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) Spanish Civil War songs - Wiki Seeger had been a fervent supporter of the Republican forces in the Spanish Civil War. In 1943, with Tom Glazer and Bess and Baldwin Hawes, he recorded an album of 78s called Songs of the Lincoln Battalion on Moe Asch's Stinson label. This included such songs as "There's a Valley in Spain called Jarama", and "Quinte brigada". In 1960, this collection was re-issued by Moe Asch as one side of a Folkways LP called Songs of the Lincoln and International Brigades. On the other side was a reissue of the legendary Six Songs for Democracy (originally recorded in Barcelona in 1938 while bombs were falling), performed by Ernst Busch and a chorus of members of the Thälmann Battalion, made up of refugees from Nazi Germany. The songs were: "Moorsoldaten" ("Peat Bog Soldiers", composed by political prisoners of German concentration camps), "Die Thaelmann-Kolonne", "Hans Beimler", "Das Lied Von Der Einheitsfront" ("Song Of The United Front", written by Hans Eisler and Bertold Brecht), "Der Internationalen Brigaden" ("Song Of The International Brigades"), and "Los cuatro generales" ("The Four Generals", known in English as "The Four Insurgent Generals"). Peat Bog Soldiers - by the great Paul Robeson ''This song was created by the prisioners of Concentration Camp of Bogermor, Nazi Germany. Most of prisioner were communists, socialists and other groups considered as dangerous for Hitler. The Nazi Germany eliminated most of communists from the country, till it was defeated and liberated by the Red Army, when a new and democratic country arose, the Democratic Republic of Germany(DDR). This song, originally in German, is here sung by Paul Robeson, a famous athlete, activist, intellectual, singer and actor (exiled) from the United States.''

John Dolva Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) Thank you John. I now know some. Unusual bass style, especially the long solos, as well as (because I'm familiar with the stories the music tells), very clever, evocative. Partway into Sandino I awaited the same somberness as the first evoked after a joyful moment. It's the story of Sandino. Che' was harder because I didn't know how he would treat it. but, again, a story, in music, of Che', and, as I was hoping for, ending with an optimistic legacy mirroring the triumphant part in the first half. I'll keep my eyes open for any visit to Perth. edit:edit Edited February 9, 2010 by John Dolva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
