In meiner kleinen Reihe von Songs, die in der oder anderen Weise zu dem passen, was wir gerade an Krieg in Europa (und anderswo) erleben, geht es heute im zweiten Teil mit einer etwas eklektischeren Auswahl weiter. Der Subtext ist immer: Mensch bleiben. Give Peace A Chance!
Den Anfang machen die Scorpions, 1989 in Moskau, mit Wind Of Change.
Ja, manchmal kann man es sich nicht schöner ausdenken. 😉
Und wie immer, hier der Text:
Wind Of Change I follow the Moskva Down to Gorky Park Listening to the wind of change An August summer night Soldiers passing by Listening to the wind of change The world is closing in Did you ever think That we could be so close, like brothers? The future's in the air Can feel it everywhere I'm blowing with the wind of change Take me to the magic of the moment On a glory night Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away) In the wind of change Walking down the street Distant memories Are buried in the past forever I follow the Moskva Down to Gorky Park Listening to the wind of change Take me to the magic of the moment On a glory night Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams) With you and me (With you and me) Take me to the magic of the moment On a glory night (a glory night) Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away) In the wind of change (the wind of change) The wind of change blows straight Into the face of time Like a storm wind that will ring The freedom bell for peace of mind Let your balalaika sing What my guitar wants to say Take me to the magic of the moment On a glory night (a glory night) Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams) With you and me (With you and me) Take me to the magic of the moment On a glory night (a glory night) Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away) In the wind of change (the wind of change)
Als zweites habe ich mich für einen Song entschieden, den vielleicht nicht so viele auf dem Schirm haben: Peacekeeper von Fleetwood Mac (in ihrer zweiten Phase).
Und hier der Text:
Peacekeeper We make all of our suns the same Every one will suffer the fire we've made They all explode just the same And there's no goin' back on the plans we've made Peacekeeper, take your time Wait for the dark of night Soon all the suns will rise Peacekeeper, don't tell why Don't be afraid to fight Love is the sweet surprise Oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... Only creatures who are on their way Ever poison their own, well But we still have time to hate And there's still somethin' we can sell Peacekeeper, take your time Wait for the dark of night Soon all the suns will rise Peacekeeper, don't tell why Don't be afraid to fight Love is the sweet surprise When the night is cold and still When you thought you've had your fill Take all the time you will This is not a test, it's not a drill Take no prisoners, only kill Oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... Oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... oh... You know all of our friends are gods And they all tell us how to paint our face But there's only one brush we need It's the one that never leaves a trace Peacekeeper, take your time (Peacekeeper, take your time) Wait for the dark of night (Wait for the dark of night) Soon all the suns will rise (Soon all the suns will rise) Peacekeeper, don't tell why (Peacekeeper, don't tell why) Don't be afraid to fight (Don't be afraid to fight) Love is the sweet surprise (Love is the sweet surprise) Peacekeeper, take your time Wait for the dark of night (Wait for the dark of night) Soon all the suns will rise (Soon all the suns will rise) Peacekeeper, don't tell why (Peacekeeper, don't tell why) Don't be afraid to fight (Don't be afraid to fight) Love is the sweet surprise (Love is the sweetsurprise) When the night is cold and still When you thought you've had your fill This is not a test, it's not a drill Take no prisoners, only kill
Und ja, man kann auch zappeln zu dem Thema, etwa wenn Marvin Gaye What’s Going On singt.
Und dies ist der gar nicht mal so belanglose Text.
What's Going On Mother, mother There′s too many of you crying Brother, brother, brother There's far too many of you dying You know we′ve got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today, yeah Father, father We don't need to escalate You see, war is not the answer For only love can conquer hate You know we′ve got to find a way To bring some lovin′ here today, oh Picket lines and picket signs (Sister) Don't punish me with brutality (Sister) Talk to me (Sister) So you can see (Sister) Oh, what′s going on (What's going on) What′s going on (What's going on) What′s going on (What's going on) What's going on (What′s going on) Right on, baby Right on, baby (Right on) Right on Mother, mother Everybody thinks we′re wrong Oh, but who are they to judge us Simply 'cause our hair is long Oh, you know we′ve got to find a way To bring some understanding here today, oh Picket lines and picket signs (Brother) Don't punish me with brutality (Brother) Come on talk to me (Brother) So you can see (Brother) What′s going on, yeah (What's going on) What′s going on (What's going on) Tell me what's going on (What′s going on) I′ll tell you, what's going on (What′s going on) Right on, baby, right on Right on, baby Right on, baby, come on, right on Right on, listen
Und, hey, ich habe nicht unbedingt Lust, einen dritten Teil zu machen. Also, schickt die Soldaten nach Hause!
Peace! Over and out.
