Here's another one:

"The Sprawl" by Sonic Youth

:fire: :flower:

Oh, right, they ought to participate within that "feminist" project. Go fuck yourself, y'know. We are liberationists. We subscribe to full liberation.


We will not be fooled. It's about liberation for all, y'kow what I mean?

???

I've played it before and I'll play it again, the song that liberated me from neo-fascism:

"Teen Age Riot" by Sonic Youth

It's just idk, man. It's just a world that you ought not to learn. The white world is fucked, man. We can't do anything. That is all that I've got.

Belgh...

They can always just use them to enforce whatever and it makes me terribly sad.

The 'song of storms":

"Joy Division " by Simon Joyner

I happen to be the "teenage brother who smoldered" under that "Joy Division poster".

I've been trying to facilitate a generalized peace to no avail. They don't intend, y'know, but we can...

The point about my artistic expression, however, is that "The Long Goodbye" is better than almost all other songs. There's a few with Dylan to contend with, but I don't think it meets its match with either Pete Seeger or Phil Ochs. It'a one for the age, but, alas, will never be recognized as such, due to what I lack in vocality.

The white world is fucked, man. — thewonder

No shit. What color isn't? :mask:

Lyrically speaking, it's the best song written in over fifty years.

No shit. :mask: — 180 Proof

I should seek to end it, but worry that my pretense doesn't continue it further.

Dinah Washington: What Difference A Day Makes
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OmBxVfQTuvI

What a difference a day makes
24 little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm a part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine

What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

Somehow I've not heard (or do not remembering hearing) Dinah Washington's version of this song. Aretha Franklin's version (below) I've loved for decades, even more so if that's possible now realizing young Aretha sang it in honor of Ms. Washington just a couple of months after her passing. Thanks, Amity. :cool:



"What A Difference A Day Made" (3:32)
Aretha Sings the Blues, 1980
composer María Méndez Grever, 1934
performer Aretha Franklin, 1964

Blegh, ignore that ish and carry on. I've finally buckled down and decided to leave the internet for good. Peace, all! Cya never.

Everybody had a hard year

Everybody had a good time

Everybody had a wet dream

Everybody saw the sunshine

Oh yeah, (oh yeah)

oh yeah,

oh yeah

Everybody had a good year

Everybody let their hair down

Everybody pulled their socks up

Everybody put their foot down

Oh yeah ...

"I've Got a Feeling" (3:37)
Let It Be, 1970
writers Lennon-McCartney, 1968-1969
remixed by Giles Martin & Sam Okell, 2021
performers The Beatles

Flee from happiness lest it run away
Lest the azure sky turn to mauve
To think of, or move on to something else
Would be better...

Flee from happiness lest it run away
Think that there is, over the rainbow
Always higher the sun above
Radiant...

To believe in heavens, to believe in the gods
Even when everything seems odious
When our hearts are set on fire and blood

Flee from happiness lest it run away
Like a little mouse in the corner of an alcove
See the tip of its pink tail
Its feverish eyes...

Flee from happiness lest it run away
Think that there is, over the rainbow
Always higher the sun above
Radiant...

To believe in heavens, to believe in the gods
Even when everything seems odious
When our hearts are set on fire and blood

Fleeing happiness lest it run away
Sometimes wanting to scream "save yourself!"
Who can go to the bottom of things
Is unhappy...

Flee from happiness lest it run away
Think that there is, over the rainbow
Always higher the sun above
Radiant...

To believe in heavens, to believe in the gods
Even when everything seems odious
When our hearts are set on fire and blood

Flee from happiness lest it run away
Tell me you still love me, if you dare
I wish you'd find something else
Something better...

Though you feel at times you just can't win
Sing, sing children, sing
That you give is known, so don't give in
Sing, sing children, sing

[Chorus 1]
Sing of the true way, sing of the time
Show them the new way, let your light shine

[Verse 2]
He who lights the fire, must surely burn
Turn, turn children, turn
From the ones who see, but will not learn
Turn, turn children, turn

[Chorus 2]
Turn from the darkness, turn all the way
Look for the sunshine – then don't turn away

[Verse 3]
For everyone who doesn't stand, must fall
Call, call children, call
And he who finds himself, then finds us all
Call, call children, call

[Chorus 3]
Call to the broken, call to the hate
Lеt the word be spoken, bеfore it's too late

[Outro]
(Sing, sing...)
(Sing, sing...) well, you know you've got to keep on singing
(Sing, sing...) sing, my children, keep on singing
(Sing, sing...) think of all the sunshine you'll be bringing
(Turn, turn...) well, you know you've got to keep on turning
(Turn, turn...) there's a lot, we got to keep on learning
(Turn, turn...) turn, turn, turn
(Turn, turn...) learn, learn, learn
(Sing, sing...) mhm...
(Sing, sing...) yeah, you know you've got to keep on singing
(Sing, sing...) sing, sing, sing
(Sing, sing...) sing, sing, sing...

Sunny Came Home - Shawn Colvin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S5iANxYIYQ

"Sunny came home to her favorite room
Sunny sat down in the kitchen
She opened a book and a box of tools
Sunny came home with a mission

She says "Days go by, I'm hypnotized
I'm walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire"

Sunny came home with a list of names
She didn't believe in transcendence
And it's time for a few small repairs, she said
Sunny came home with a vengeance

She says "Days go by, I don't know why
I'm walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire"

Get the kids and bring a sweater
Dry is good and wind is better
Count the years, you always knew it
Strike a match, go on and do it

"Oh, days go by, I'm hypnotized
I'm walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire"

Oh, light the sky and hold on tight
The world is burning down
She's out there on her own, and she's all right
Sunny came home
Sunny came home
Came home
Home"

Oh, keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Yeah, we're going to the Roadhouse
Gonna have a real
A good time

Yeah, the back of the Roadhouse they got some bungalows
Yeah, the back of the Roadhouse they got some bungalows
And that's for the people who like to go down slow

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll
All night long

Do it, Robby, do it!

Alright !

yeah !

You got to roll, roll, roll
You got to thrill my soul, all right

Roll, roll, roll, roll
To thrill my soul

[scat-a-rap]

Alright !

Ashen lady
Ashen lady
Give up your vows
Give up your vows
Save our city
Save our city
Right now

Well, I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer
Well, I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer
The future's uncertain and the end is always near

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll
All night long

"Roadhouse Blues" (4:04)
Morrison Hotel, 1970
The Doors

… I had money in the bank
I got busted, boys, ain't that sad?
Oh, you know, I had some money in the bank
I got busted, baby, ain't that bad?
Well, you know, you can't spend what you ain't got
You can't lose what you ain't never had

"You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had" (2:55)
B-side single, 1964
writer McKinley Morganfield
performer Muddy Waters

I have two loves
My country and Paris
By them always
My heart is thrilled



Josephine Baker will symbolically enter the French Panthéon in Paris left bank this month, following an online petition earlier this year. The Pantheon is where the fathers and mothers of the French republic are interred or honored. E.g. Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo or Jean Jaurès. This will make her the sixth woman at the mausoleum, alongside Simone Veil, Marie Curie and others. I would guess the second black person, after Alexandre Dumas.

However, the family did not want to disturb her, so her body will remain in Monaco... A plaque will be placed at the Panthéon instead, with an urn containing earth from St Louis, US where she was born, from Paris where she became a national entertaining idol, and from Château des Milandes, a castle where she raised her twelve adopted children from all origins (she called her family "The Rainbow Tribe") after WW2.

In WW2 she helped the resistance very effectively. Got the War Cross for it in 45.

She's now officially a Goddess of the French.

Unofficially, she reached that status soon after travelling to Paris in 1925 with her infamous, overtly sexual, racially exploitative and absurdist Banana Dance. I won't show this here, make your own search for it, you unwoke perverts!

On this century anniversary of Remembrance Day poppies :flower: ... a requiem for "the post-war dream".

Isolation

Snow Patrol - Isolation (John Lennon Cover)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_p606lpwRM

John Lennon, The Plastic Ono Band

People say we got it made
Don't they know we're so afraid?
Isolation

We're afraid to be alone
Everybody got to have a home
Isolation

Just a boy and a little girl
Trying to change the whole wide world
Isolation

The world is just a little town
Everybody trying to put us down
I-Isolation

I don't expect you to understand
After you've caused so much pain
But then again, you're not to blame
You're just a human, a victim of the insane...

We're afraid of everyone
Afraid of the sun
Isolation

The sun will never disappear
But the world may not have many years
I-Isolation

Now let's get it all in perspective
Shift the objective, you've been misdirected
What's the purpose of another song to step to
If you stepping in the wrong direction
Thug introspection
Mindframe in the fast lane
Through with cocaine
Time's up, time to maintain
Before a nigga gets drafted
Cause you the number one pick, corn bread, cotton-crafted
Them people's army shot another brown kid today
And all you strapped little boys let 'em get away
So what you packin' for
You packin' for the war?
They gonna ship you out and put you and your mans on tour
Yeah, your Hummer came in handy
Son, your Air Force 1s are sandy
You'd better peep the plan, B
Before you call yourself a soldier
Get caught up on the wrong side and your little party's over
Put your blunt down, no time to front now,
Put your drink down, time to think now
We on the brink now
Where my peeps at, where the streets at?
Same cats that stole you is using you to steal Iraq

[Gunshot] Yo, I say let 'em shoot
My tongue is my gun aiming for the truth
They got a silencer and aimin' straight at the youth
And all their talk of terrorism's nothing but a spoof

We was the first type of oil that they ever stole
Nah, f*ck the oil metaphor son, we was gold
But let the truth be told, we was platinum
Now they want a deal and asking us to back them

War, don't start none, won't be none
We fighting for freedom
Yeah they say they is but son I don't believe them
Cause when there's violence in the hood you never see them
Unless they starting it
They got their heart in it
Now they got you thinking money is power
You're counting dead pres by the hour
And the one that's living, the Bible thumping Christian
Like y'all niggaz trying to cross out the mission
Listen, power is vision
You're keeping it real in a neighbourhood that's government sealed
Yo, let the truth be revealed
Before your freedom has failed and the innocent killed

[Gunshot] Yo, I say let 'em shoot
My tongue is my gun aiming for the truth
They got a silencer and aimin' straight at the youth
And all their talk of terrorism's nothing but a spoof

I'm hip to your games
Hip to the science of war
Propaganda make me fight but what am I fighting for?
My way of life, means and rights, give or take less or more
See through the eyes of the poor, plus I'm black to the core
Ignorance is on tour, booking stadiums and more
The days of Hitler painted pictures patriotic with gore
You raise a flag on a land, snatch a bald eagle's claw
And send a symbol on your currency to finance your war
I'm saying no
Not in my name, not in my life
Not by my hands, that ain't my fight
Not in my name
You wage a war against terrorists and violence
And try to wave your guns and fear us all into silence
No. Not in my name, not in my life
Not by my hands, that ain't my fight
Not in my name
You built your empire with natives and slaves
Like the truth on resurrect waging war from it's grave
