Here is my revolutionary play list. --Anger Music-- Land of Confusion: Genesis or Disturbed What I've Done: Linkin Park Children of the Revolution: U2 (for Moulin Rouge) --Inspiring Music-- Wild at Heart: Gloriana If Your Going Through Hell: Rodney Atkins Key of the Twilight: Yuji Kaijura
The one song that would be perfect in my opinion is U2's new song Breathe - originally written for Nelson Mandela and inspired by the Soweto Uprising. A section of the original lyrics were: "All those who stood together now know this.... that (something) is not a scar on the land but in the heart of every man, who began as a boy not to resist, a knotted fist, now an open hand an open face an open page" Here's the lyrics for the finished version: What do you guys think?
lyrics Survivor, oooh, Survivor, oooh! One more God damn day, When I know what I want, And my want will be considered tonight, Huh, huh, Considered tonight! Huh, huh! Just another day, When all that I want Will mark me as a sinner tonight, I'm a sinner tonight, yeah! People can no longer cover their eyes, If this disturbs you then walk away! You will remember the night You were struck by the sight of, Ten thousand fists in the air! Power unrestrained, Dead on the mark, Is what we will deliver tonight, huh, huh, Deliver tonight! Huh, huh! Pleasure fused with pain, This triumph of the soul Will make you shiver tonight, We'll make you shiver tonight, yeah! People can no longer cover their eyes, If this disturbs you then walk away! You will remember the night You were struck by the sight of, Ten thousand fists in the air! [Guitar solo] We are the ones That are up in your mind, Leave the weak And the haunted behind We are the ones That will open your mind, Leave the weak And the haunted behind We are the ones That will up in your mind, Leave the weak And the haunted behind We are the ones That will open your mind, Leave the weak And the haunted behind Evil can no longer cover their eyes, If this disturbs you then walk away! You will remember the night You were struck by the sight of, Ten thousand fists in the air! Ten thousand fists in the air! Ten thousand fists in the air!
Kmfdm is revolution music I suggest you use song from KMFDM such songs as -TERROR -DISOBEDIENCE -SEARCH AND DESTROY search and destroy lyrics "Acceptance is surrender Vile and vicious slander We don't want to be ruled By a handful of fools What's up? Our silence is death What's up? We shall resist the violence What's up? And we'll never give up What's up? Only death is silence "

Immortal Technique !! This song is perfect almost as he made it for this day!! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upJN8sL-eb4]YouTube - Iranian Revolution 2009: Immortal Technique - "Land of the Gun"[/ame]
A different mood: Enigma - Silence must be heard. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MNGz3x-zKc]YouTube - Enigma- Silence must be heard[/ame]
Kha Green Day - Know your enemy (Silence is the enemy Violence is the enemy) Tina Turner - We dont need another Hero (Very anti violent song!) You could use almost any song from Sepultura... This is cliche but: Neil Young - Keep on Rockin in the Free world
If the revolutions gets wind beneath its wings and people start to hunt the mujahideens and torturers then we should use Sepulturas version of Hunt.
A polyphonic plea for no world order. VX Gas Attack - Skinny Puppy Warsaw Ghetto - Nitzer Ebb The Regulator - Bad Brains Wake Up! (It's 1984) - Oingo Boingo Palestina - Ministry Risen - KMFDM Feels Like the End Of The World - Firewater Gasoline - MDFMK Pistol Whipper - Fixmer/McCarthy Big A little A - Crass I know this offers little consolation, but we're here with you even so many miles away.
"The farthest Star" VNV nation, of course: The will to greatness clouds the mind Consumes the senses, veils the signs We each are meant to recognize. Redeeming graces cast aside Enduring notions, new found promise, That the end will never come. We live in times when all seems lost, But time will come when we'll look back, Upon ourselves and on our failings. Embrace the void even closer still, Erase your doubts as you surrender everything: We possess the power, If this should start to fall apart, To mend divides, To change the world, To reach the farthest star. If we should stay silent. If fear should win our hearts, Our light will have long diminished, Before it reaches the farthest star. Wide awake in a world that sleeps Enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come. From a time when all seems lost, From a dead man to a world. Without restraint, unafraid and free. We possess the power, If this should start to fall apart, To mend divides, To change the world, To reach the farthest star. If we should stay silent. If fear should win our hearts, Our light will have long diminished, Before it reaches the farthest star. If we fall and break, All the tears in the world cannot make us whole Again.

POLICE AND THIEVES! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKd6Ghl17x0&feature=related]YouTube - The Clash - Police & Thieves[/ame]
Well, I'm currently making a vid with Scorpions' "Wind of Change", which was written in the wake of the 1989 revolutions toppling Communism.
Music How about leaving music off and letting the live audio speak for itself? What's this obsession with throwing a soundtrack on everything? Let the video speak for itself.
This would offensively not do it! NOUVEAU AMERICAIN by the brazilian girls... but still it feels right... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo7Dgc5sVF0&feature=related]YouTube - Brazilian Girls - Noveau Americain[/ame]
Lamb of God - One Gun [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbT3-_-QypE]YouTube - Lamb of God- One Gun[/ame] maybe not perfect for these protests but good revolution song.
My preferred: Bad Brains - "Riot Squad" You, you better get ready. You better hold steady. They can't control this angry mob. They'll have to call the Riot Squad. Riot Squad. They'll have to call the Riot They'll have to call the Riot Squad. Also good: KMFDM - "Anarchy" L7's cover of the Dead Kennedys "Let's Lynch the Landlord" Nine Inch Nails "March of the Pigs" Talking Heads "Burning Down the House" And probably anything by Rage Against the Machine - they're tailormade for pretty much any protest occasion, pretty much.
and i thought i was the only one finding songs like that. awesome. city without a heart - a rotterdam november.
