Here's a song from Weimar (1920's) Germany. It is a least as a propos now under the Biden Administration now as it was then.

Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire. I overlooked it growing up but Billy Joel was way ahead of me.

Aaron Lewis, "Am I The Only One" (Live Acoustic)

[Mark (Star Mariner)]

This song is lighting up social media right now and has over 4million views on youtube. To be honest, I don't even like rap/hip-hop or whatever you call this, and before today had never heard of Tom MacDonald, but the style of music doesn't matter here -- this is FIRE, and right now its striking a profound chord in many people in what are incredibly divisive times.

For those who haven't heard it yet here is my song "Is It 1984?" Although I wrote and produced it in 2007 it still applies today and now more poignantly with the recent Supreme Court speech decision in blatant violation of the US Constitution.

Ain't No Rock and Roll

"Ain't No Rock and Roll" by Five Times August

Songwriter: Bradley James Skistimas
Publisher: Seven Places Music (ASCAP)
Label: Baste Records

Lyrics:
Well there ain’t no rock and roll
Ever since they sold out Rolling Stone
All the words that were sung in the past
Will never feel the same when we’re looking back
All the old men sitting in their make up chair
With their gold record walls really couldn’t care
All the fame feels the same when you’ve had enough
So they don’t bother standing up

And there ain’t no peace and love
Ever since the sixties kids grew up
All the drugs and the girls and the cash
After all the songs it was gone in a flash
All those bad boy rebels and the attitude
What a show, we didn’t know that none of it was true
Only self serve anti-establishment
We were all so innocent

Because there ain’t no rock and roll

And the blues has lost it’s soul

All the punks gave the man control
And every pop star’s bought and sold
No, there ain’t no
Ain’t no rock and roll

And there ain’t no Joni, no Bob
No one stuck around for their protest job
All the stars and the big pharma whores
Shilling for a check from their corporate chores
All the actors say what they’re paid to say
While the fans take the blame
All the once cool fools that were me and you
Well they pushed us all away

Because there ain’t no rock and roll

And the blues has lost it’s soul

All the punks gave the man control
And every pop star’s bought and sold
No, there ain’t no
Ain’t no rock and roll

And there ain’t no Boss, no Queen
Never was a rage against the damn machine
No there ain’t no fighter in the foo
No more rockin’ in those free world shoes
All the high strung Neil Young wannabes
Yea their silence has been deafening
All the suits lick the boots of the government
What they sang they never meant

Because there ain’t no rock and roll

And the blues has lost it’s soul

All the punks gave the man control
And every pop star’s bought and sold
No, there ain’t no
Ain’t no rock and roll

No, there ain’t no
Ain’t no rock and roll

No, there ain’t no
Ain’t no rock and roll

No, there ain’t no
Ain’t no rock and roll

[Michel Leclerc]

The second and final movement of Alban Berg’s Violin Concerto (1935), “to the Memory of an Angel”: the 18-year old daughter of Alma Mahler. After completion, Berg, 50, passed himself from an infected insect bite, unable to finish the orchestration of his monumental opera Lulu (sie elsewhere a mine post) – that was done fifty years later by Friedrich Cerha, at Pierre Boulez’ impulse.

Chaos. Ladders up and down from hell through earth. Obsessive rhythms. Twice ——— Calm. A Bach chorale. Peace, the sublime.

Andris Nelsons leads the Leipzig Gewandhausorchester. "Es spielt Baiba Skride.” Allegro. Adagio.

This one will put the fire in your belly!!
Sorry for the bad language

You really believe
We can survive all of this?
The black vacuum of the universe, it was designed
To swallow us whole
It's a losing game

We're at death's door, another world war
Wildfires and earthquakes I foresaw
A life in crisis, a deadly virus
Tsunamis of hate are gonna find us

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
We are ****ing ****ed
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
We are ****ing ****ed

We're at death's door, another world war
Wildfires and earthquakes I foresaw
A life in crisis, mutated virus
Tsunamis of hate are gonna drown us

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
We are ****ing ****ed
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
We are ****ing ****ed

True, just when you think
You are safe and secure
You'll forget what you need to remember, living in peace
But you're living a lie
The game is rigged

We're at death's door, another world war
Wildfires and earthquakes I foresaw
A life in crisis, mutated virus
Tsunamis of hate are gonna drown us

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
We are ****ing ****ed
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
We are ****ing ****ed

Hole up
Stockpile
Hoard up
We are getting ****ing ****ed

Ah, ah, ah-ah
We are getting ****ed
Ah, ah, ah-ah
We are getting ****ed

Hey, hey, hey, **** off
Hey, hey, hey, stockpile
Hey, hey, hey, **** off
Hey, hey, we are getting ****ing ****ed

Paranoia is in bloom, the PR transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed down
And hope that we will never see the truth around
(So come on)

Another promise, another seed
Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
And we will be victorious

Interchanging mind control
Come let the revolution take its toll
If you could flick a switch and open your third eye
You'd see that we should never be afraid to die
(So come on)

Rise up and take the power back
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack
You know that their time's coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
(So come on)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
And we will be victorious
(So come on)

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
And we will be victorious
(So come on)

Hey, hey
Hey, hey

War is all around, I'm growing tired of fighting
I've been drained and I can't hide it
But I have strength for you, you're all that's real anymore
I am coming home now, I need your comfort

From this moment, from this moment
You will never be alone
We're bound together, now and forever
The loneliness has gone

States are crumbling, and walls are rising high again
It's no place for the faint-hearted
But my heart is strong 'cause now I know where I belong
It's you and I against the world, and we are free

From this moment, from this moment
You will never be alone
We're bound together, now and forever
The loneliness has gone

We've gone against the tide
All we have is each other now
And I am coming home now
I need your comfort

(From this moment) From this moment, (From this moment) from this moment
(You will never be alone) Never be alone, yeah
(We're bound together) We're bound together, (Now and forever) now and forever
(The loneliness has gone) The loneliness has gone
(From this moment) From this moment, (From this moment) from this moment
(You will never be alone) Never be alone
We're bound together, now and forever
The loneliness has gone
From this moment (From this moment), from this moment (From this moment)
You will never be alone
We're bound together, now and forever
The loneliness has gone

We're bound together
Now and forever
The loneliness has gone

Always wondered why exactly THIS music thread was not really that populated with song posts much more on a forum like THIS. Happy that it does now again.



I could also post so many more tunes, some are also in German (mostly rock or metal bands) but would need to provide the translations then. Let's see what I will find then.

I, just a few months of having joined, am a good person to answer:

Avalon is not an easy place to navigate.

I first time found today this thread, despite being a musical fanatic!

Hypothesis: Avalon is so rich, with so many interesting threads, that even the most interested find their ways... Slowly.
