I always loved "Distant Early Warning"

Cool!

Another: "Fool Us Today" by Mr. Big.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXB4z...

Guitarist Paul Gilbert is a big fan of Atlas Shrugged, but I'm not sure if he wrote these lyrics (and I don't have the disc in front of me.)
Anyhow, like LB's "Noah" it's a little more status quo than prophetic, but the words fit today perfectly:

'They say it's not the money, you know it's not the money
Can you figure out what you want, what you need?
They try to pump it up, forget about the facts
Sometimes it hurts but it's never taken back

The left is right, the right is left
Oh yeah, I gotta get this thing right off my chest

Now black, white and gray
What can you do, what can you say?
How can they fool us today?
Hold your head up high, laugh till you cry, anyway
How can they fool us today?
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Talkin' twenty-four, seven, we're losin' what we're gettin'
They slap you down with a call from up above
It's a window to the world, a word to every man
Just gettin' it up, we'll all do what we can

They do it all for you, much better than the rest
Hey, it's alright if you can pass the test

Black, white and gray
What can you do, what can you say?
How can they fool us today?
Hold your head up high, laugh till you cry, anyway
How can they fool us today?
Hey, hey, hey

It's all good news, we can buy and sell
Yeah, don't stop now, you can unring a bell

Black, white and gray
What can you do, what can you say?
How can they fool us today?
Hold your head up high, laugh till you cry, anyway
How can they fool us today?
Hey, hey, hey

Black, white and gray
What can you do, what can you say?
How can they fool us today?
Catch the falling sky, we're all gonna die anyway
How can they fool us today?

How can they fool us today?
How can they fool us today?'
.

Yeah, Rush did a whole bunch that prompt variations on "Make Red Barcetta / 2112 Fiction Again," much like the T-shirt that says "Make Orwell Fiction Again."

As a big fan of J-rock, I've found some that fall outside of the typical radar span for the English-speaking world (for whatever reason the Japanese haven't ditched their love of melody, jaw-dropping instrumentals, the electric guitar, and most importantly a sense of human dignity.)

"Noah" is one of them, with lyrics in the general mood of Thomas Paine's "times that try men's souls," from the (unfortunately) now-defunct band Light Bringer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc8tH...

English lyrics:

'How far in the future should I fix my eyes and live, I wonder?
Without even a sign, I sink below the late night sea

What should I start to ask, in the forest of hesitation?
Only the formless kindness peeks through

It seems I want to protect the world alone
I cry and cry, and strive to move ahead. That’s the answer
Being strong is painful, huh. It’d be good if I could sleep until my spirit is at ease
A long, long night’s encore - until it gets light, let’s laugh

It’s not love or like, just that I want to become an ordinary lost soul
I won’t say that motive aloud, so please don’t look for it

It’s like searching for the meaning of a face-down hand of cards
I can’t read through the paper thin bottom, like this

Won’t you show me a closer, nicer dream?
I won’t give up on my lies or tomorrows, look, it’s unmoving proof
“For your sake” is for whose sake? I can’t deceive my own heart
The truth is hidden on the other side of the deep, deep mist

Forever,
It seems I want to protect the world alone
I cry and cry, and strive to move ahead. That’s the answer
I don’t need things like regrets. I’m standing on my shining determination
A long, long night’s encore - until the moment I die, I’ll be here.'

Ok, I'll just admit it: I'm in love with Fuki Tenge. And her voice. Guilty as charged. 8^]

(There have to be tons more, but I've got stuff to do so I'm outta here for now.)
.

As I am sure you know, a lot has been said about her. But, I am not aware of any songs written.

No...I'll look that one up, Thanks Bob.
Now that i've seen it, yea, I remember but never delved into the Fabian Society much.

I want to do a search tonite to see if anyone made a song about Ayn Rand...I kind of doubt it but one never knows for sure unless you look.

Are you familiar with the Fabian window? It shows a man fanning the "flames" and two others "mold a new reality" while the sheep in wolf clothing watches.

A Farewell To Kings, by Rush. Makes me close my eyes and shake my head in sadness every time I hear the opening lyric:

When they turn the pages of history,
When these days have passed long ago,
Will they read of us in sadness,
For the seeds that we let grow?

This song had a haunting grip since the first time I heard it so many years ago. Another Stones masterpiece.

I was going to add that one too. Glad you beat me to it.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL for your participation in this wonderful diversion on a Sunday afternoon and evening...which can be boring here at work.

Maybe she'll hit the hot list and we can carry on our wayward bound tomorrow as well.

Another classic.

Towards the end of the video is exactly what I was looking for although we might have enjoyed the sprint across the border and running like the blazes to the barn.
Cool story.
Thanks brother, that rounded the day in my mind.
Tonight I'll replay in real life that drive on the way home..."hope that's not the police behind me in the distance"...

Still Crazy after all these years...

Yes RIP
I love his drumming in this one

BTW this song has some curious lyrics.

Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh yeah I'm gonna fade away
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our streets today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder, yeah, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Mmm, a flood is threatening
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
I tell you love, sister
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away

Who can it be knocking at my door?
Go 'way, don't come 'round here no more
Can't you see that it's late at night?
I'm very tired and I'm not feeling right
All I wish is to be alone
Stay away, don't you invade my home
Best off if you hang outside
Don't come in, I'll only run and hide
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be knocking at my door?
Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor
If he hears, he'll knock all day
I'll be trapped and here I'll have to stay
I've done no harm, I keep to myself
There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health
I like it here with my childhood friend
Here they come, those feelings again!
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Is it the man come to take me away?
Why do they follow me?
It's not the future that I can see
It's just my fantasy, yeah
Ooh, who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
(Oh, wee oh) Who can it, Who can it
(Ooh ooh) Who can it be now?
(Ooh ooh wee) Yeah yeah yeah

the line of," your in your place and you and you know where you are. and you just can't get any higher." socialism extreme

Yes...

Although the men in high places would mold a new reality furthest from the heart...Great Song though...classic.

That could be me!

Red Barchetta
Rush
My uncle has a country place
No one knows about
He says it used to be a farm
Before the Motor Law
And on Sundays I elude the eyes
And hop the turbine freight
To far outside the wire
Where my white-haired uncle waits

Jump to the ground
As the turbo slows to cross the borderline
Run like the wind
As excitement shivers up and down my spine
Down in his barn
My uncle preserved for me an old machine
For 50 odd years
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream

I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better, vanished time
We fire up the willing engine
Responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel
I commit my weekly crime

Wind in my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge

Well-weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware

Suddenly ahead of me
Across the mountainside
A gleaming alloy air-car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide
I spin around with shrieking tires
To run the deadly race
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase

Drive like the wind
Straining the limits of machine and man
Laughing out loud with fear and hope
I've got a desperate plan
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside
Race back to the farm
To dream with my uncle at the fireside

Shame, no one has done a fitting video of that song.

I am Awestruck, I knew you'd come through for me, Brother...How the hell could I have forgotten 10 Years After...I used to play that song all the time back in the day.

Hey, check out the one I thought of on the way to work, Below: Who Could it Be Now by Men at Work. Think, buyden hiden from the military tribunal or an unvaccinated citizen hiding from the vaccine nazi's!

HEY! here is one I heard today on the way to work.
Who Could it Be Now by Men at Work.
I imagined buyden in his basement while We The People and the Military Tribunal were knocking on outside basement door.

...or, no so funny: An Unvaccinated Citizen afraid of the Vaccine Nazi's knocking at their door.

OUC, thanks for taking the time to put this up. I enjoyed the article and the selections you supplied links to. The music, for me, mainly brings up fond old memories.

One more thing: RIP Charlie Watts.

Great list here is another:
I’d love to change the World
Ten Years After

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity?
Tax the rich, feed the poor
'Til there are no rich no more
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money? Monopoly
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
Oh, yeah
World pollution, there's no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black or white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CTUsFm0...
So I'll leave it up to you
