Elizabeth Shepherd Trio - "Start to Move"

Start to Move

Gotta be the next Herbie in virtuosity
Make that fill with Bill Evans' musicality
Simplify like Miles Davis in note frugality
Move a crowd like Dave Brubeck and force them to their feet
Feel the song like Sarah Vaughn dee bee dee and swingin'
Ground the sound like Clifford Brown blowin' from his heart within
Try to match that call with half the soul of Cannonball
Is it me, or does this order seem too tall?

I can't live up
Should I give up
This mad love affair with music

No, you really shouldn't try so hard
Cause no one's forcing you to play their part
If you stick with what is in your heart
Well maybe then you would see things start to move

Don't have to be a jazz diva by age twenty three
There's no decree that's claiming fame's what defines if I succeed
To simply be and let my soul speak freely as it needs
Is all it takes for me to make this music thing complete

Start to live up
Just can't give up
This mad love affair with music

You know, you really shouldn't try so hard
Cause no one's forcing you to play their part
If you stick with what is in your heart
Well maybe then you would see things start to move

here's a live version of this wonderful lady in Saskatoon

Re #Bonne-Nuit

Tu avais juste dix-huit ans
Quand on t'a mis un béret rouge
Quand on t'a dit: "rentre dedans tout ce qui bouge"
C'est pas exprès que t'étais fasciste
Parachutiste

Alors, de combat en combat
S'est formée ton intelligence
Tu sais qu'il n'y a ici-bas que deux engeances
Les gens bien et les terroristes
Parachutiste
Puis on t'a donné des galons
Héros de toutes les défaites
Pour toutes les bonnes actionsn que tu as faites
Tu torturais en spécialiste
Parachutiste

Alors sont venus les honneurs
Les décorations, les médailles
Pour chaque balle au fond d'un cœur pour chaque entaille
Pour chaque croix noire sur ta liste
Parachutiste
Mais, malheureusement pour toi
Bientôt se finira ta guerre
Plus de tueries, plus de combats, que vas-tu faire?
C'est fini le travail d'artiste
Parachutiste

C'est plus qu'un travail de nana
De commander à ceux qui savent lire
Surtout que t'as appris avec moi ce que veut dire
Le mot " antimilitariste "
Parachutiste
T' as rien perdu de ton talent
Tu rates pas une embuscade
Mais comme on tire plus vraiment
Tu trouves ça fade
C'est peut-être pour ça que t'as les yeux tristes
Parachutiste

Mais si t' es vraiment trop gêné
D'être payé à ne rien faire
Tu peux toujours te recycler
Chez tes petits frères
Je crois qu'on engage dans la Police
Parachutiste

#la-Tordue - La Guerre (1998)

Paroles de la chanson La Guerre par La Tordue

Croupissez machines de guerre
Des tonn' et des tonn' de fer
Entreposées prêtes à rugir
Prêtes à rougir
La terre

Congénère contre con
Génère une rime en on
Prévert nous l'a pourtant bien dit
Quelle connerie
La guerre

Sournoiseries nucléaires
Sous-marins de poche-révolver
Bonbons napalm goût chimique
Panoplies de sapeur-panique
On n'arrête pas l'imaginaire
Pour se faire sauter la caf'tière
100 fois d'quoi s'envoyer en l'air
De quoi descendre le soleil
De quoi éteindre
Le ciel

C'est moi l'plus fort nananère
Quelle patée on vous a mis'
Des tonn' et des tonn' de fer
Dans la chair
Ennemie

Mais tapez-là cher confrère
Vous n'étiez pas mal non plus
Cette fois c'est la der des der
Avant la prochaine bien entendu
Les huiles ainsi s'en vont signant
Des traités aux petits oignons
Après avoir saigné à blanc
Se partagent terre et pognon
Trac' des frontières
Bidons

Secrets de nos piteux états
L'argent est roi et marche au pas
Tambourins sous-fifres et tirelires
1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2 et 3
À 4 on tire
Dans l'tas

Croupissez machines de guerre
Dans les hangars de la mémoire
Basta cessons d'croiser le fer
Plus de boucheries plus d'abattoirs
Maint'nant on va baisser le store
Laisser la conn'rie au vestiaire
Y'a plus d'amateurs pour ce sport
Plus personne sous les bannières
Pourquoi pas la belle utopie
Faites un bilan, professionnels
Un' reconversion réussie
Faites-vous la paire faites-vous la belle
Engagez-vous dans le parti
Qui déclare la guerre à la guerre
Sortez-vous le nez du kaki
Il y a des tonnes de choses à faire
Avec vot' matos et vot' génie
Pour remettr' en état la terre
Rangez-tous vos affreux joujoux
Faites tourner le calumet
Et foutez-nous
La paix

Before the 79 revolution in #iran, a group of left wing students in Europe released a few albums, mostly in support of the communist guerilla group people's Fedaiian organization.

The name of the album was "Aftabkaraan- jangal" (those who planted the sun in the woods), referring to the group of Fedaii members who attacked a police station in northern city of Siahkal in 1970 in the dream of creating a Cuban style revolution in Iran. The tragic action that led to death and capture, followed by execution of all 11 members of the group followed by a brutal crackdown on many left wing groups and individuals and horrible torture and murder of many of th group's members.

Those tapes were very popular in Tehran,they would go hand in hand even among those who didn't support the group and later on became popular among groups of young people going on mountain hikes.

I haven't heard those in more than 40 years and was excited to find them on this site.

I felt like a pre-teen romantic revolutionary kid once again, when we used to listen to those songs under the cover of our bed in quiet so no one could hear it and it also brought back the.memory and the faces of so many friends, schoolmates, neighbors and family members who died before, during and after the revolution.

משירי החורף האהובים עליי - פירות הקיץ ופירות הסתיו של #חוהאלברשטיין
One of my favourite #winter #songs - Hava Alberstein's Summer Fruit and Winter Fruit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FufaZXdiMsE
Amateurish translation of the lyrics:

Grapes in the middle of winter
Grapefruit in the hot summer
What is the drive? Whence the need
To change the natural order?

"Really strange," you say
"What a wonder! How is it done?"
You freeze all the produce
Even before it ripens

I ripen towards winter
I am one of the winter fruit
So don't save me for the summer
Eat me now

They try to fool nature
To change the pace of time.
They hope to live forever
And never to leave.

So I beg you,
Let me go with time.
Don't freeze me with your charms
Let me live as planned

To green
To blush
To ripen
To wrinkle
And to fall from the branch when the time comes

I ripen towards winter
I am one of the winter fruit
So don't save me for the summer
Eat me now

#NEW #SINGLE - Forever Together ( #ItaloDisco #Style) - #KOSmusic

Always to stay on the subject of #Italo-Disco, I created this track inspired by the typical #sounds of that genre with the classic bassline. It is a lot of fun to create original #music in the Italo-Disco style... it makes you relive the emotions (on a smaller scale) that the #great #artists who invented/composed #songs of this incredible #musical genre felt in the 80s!!

Down Down Down, by Le Muffe

Five years after their previous album, the furious and iconoclastic energy of Le Muffe is finally back! Since 2011 the powerful #Italian trio has been playing a highly inflammable mix of #garage, #beat and #punk.

The band’s new effort is out now: "Down, Down, Down", their third official LP, confirms their style through 10 new #songs in which you can find the essential elements that define Le Muffe’s peculiar #sound. First of all, there is a #musical background which is immediately recognizable but at the same time it’s so unusual because it tends to escape the genre’s stereotypes by finding its own original way within the garage, beat and punk scene!

In addition to that, there is the total absence of the guitar, with the central musical role played by the omnipresent acid #organ, plus a pulsing nervous #bass, and pounding aggressive #drums. This exciting musical mixture supports unconventional, self-mocking and socially pungent lyrics, declaimed (mainly in Italian, but not only) by Ol Pipa with his peculiar cavernous voice.
