I love the baseline on "I Don't Want to Be a Soldier". Serpentine, sinuous, seductive, sexy sound.

You think that's haunting?

I admit to being a huge Robert Johnson fan, the man could not write a bad song.

But if we're gonna talk fav Junkies tune, its this one:

Not an anti-war song, but still a protest song, sung by a woman who has, in my opinion, the greatest voice in music today. June Tabor singing Mayn Rue Platz

Be at peace

My present fave protest song is contained in my sig line - the Andrew Lansley Rap.

Not because it's a protest song that has universal meaning - it doesn't, it only applies to the UK, and only at this time. But it cheers me up that a style of song - rap - has finally come to be used to convey something that isn't just angry in some pointlessly angry, pessimistic, or even outright reactionary, way. A little bit of faith restored in today's youth for me. The lad is still working as a dustman. His song has gone viral on the net and I do hope he can break into the big time as a result of it.

time for a little more cancon. one of the best little known bands on earth...the junkies!!! (and margo is hot too...i'd be her bitch faster than the preacher gets drunk)

their whole Early 21st Century Blues album is basically protest/social commentary cover songs, the best is Two Soldiers, but i couldn't find a youtube of that one, so these will have to do.

hannah lynn

No video, but here's the song.

Two Soldiers

And the lyrics.

Cowboy Junkies - Two Soldiers Lyrics

He was just a blue-eyed boston boy
His voice was low with pain
I'll do your bidding commrad mine
If i ride back again
But if you ride back and i am dead
You'll do as much for me
Mother, you know, must hear the news
So write to her tenderly

She's a-waiting at home like a patient saint
Her fallen face paled with woe
Her heart would be broken when i am gone
I'll see her soon, i know.
Just then the order came to charge
For an instant hand touched hand
They sayed "aye" and away they rode
That brave and devoted band

Straight was the course to the top of the hill
And the rebels they shot and shelled
Plowed furroughs of death through the toiling ranks
And guarded them as they fell
There soon was a horrible dying yell
From heights that they could not gain
And those who doom and death had spared
Rode slowly back again

But among the dead that were left on the hill
Was the boy with curly hair
The tall dark man who fought by his side
Lay dead beside him there
Well there was was no one to write to the blue-eyed girl
The words that her lover had said
While mother at home is awaiting her boy
She'll only know he's dead
She'll only know he's dead
