Re: Pick songs that reflect society or songs for Trumps USA or Brexit britain
i know all about them, my gf is a big fan. that song i've heard a lot because 6music seemed to play it every hour for a really long time so I've thought a lot about it. i dunno why you'd be all "touched a nerve" tho!

My daughter told me she's been playing SPK - Walking On Dead Steps out a lot, it's a great tune and very relevant.

I'm not racist from Joyner Lucas is about current American political views (and even includes the MAGA hat in the video):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43gm3CJePn0
This is America can't be missed either; Childish Gambino covers not just gun violence but also Jim Crow, black culture, religion, police corruption, the idolatry of money, riches and fame, the lack of a social safety net and the war on drugs.

Rammstein's Deutschland is a recent song tackling the current surge of new right-wing political groups in Germany (and Europe as a whole I would say), laying bare the racist and Nazi ideologies from the past and present. Explaining that Germany has a long and often beautiful history which the band want's to love but can't because of the current state of affairs (it's current jolt to right wing politics with per example the AFD spouting literal Nazi ideologie and claiming the day the war ended was a loss; not a victory for the German people). Most of this is symbolic in both song and video:

First three to pop into my head.

The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

Good call, though I prefer it on the Repetition Reinforcement 12'' for casual listening.

Haus Arafna - Independent
They are the illegitimate children of freedom
Forever weak and ungrateful
They don't ask for heaven's bread
Give some a miracle and make some happy
With the bread of the earth
You want them to love you honorably
Of their own free will
They are just into drift in a ghostly fog
They are tired of being independent
Let air slip them at last to the promise land
Where they think they can stand independent
Forever slaves, forever
What about you, what about you
It's a freedom you brought which no one needs
Who taught them to be independent
Don't come back and destroy the church we have been
Far away from the good - independent
We have a war to fight - independent
We have a story to write - independent
Forever slaves, forever
What about you what about you
What about you

I also remember you posting that in the spoken word thread. I remembered enjoying it, but that version was not exactly to my taste. Funnily enough, the other version has been removed or deleted. I guess that version is murder THE masters instead of YOUR masters.shadowplay wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 8:35 amerr was supposed to be that version, I just posted without listening.aRoseisaRoseis wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 8:27 am^

Don't think I've listened to this since I was 13, but I still like the sentiment: NOFX Murder the Government
