Cant stop singing it.

[malaise]

4. That was so beautiful

Agreed

[tavernier]

7. My daughter was sobbing

If it had been sung by professionals, it wouldn't have have had the same impact.

my tastes in music tend to run toward the unusual

[malaise]

44. Nothing wrong with that

[Ishoutandscream2]

35. When I'm melancholy, I listen to Johnny Rivers' album "Realization"

This song pretty much describes my mood. And really, the mood I've been seeing in this country.

[JimGinPA]

36. Here's Another...

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

38. Its been a Bob Marley revival at my house - esp. Get Up Stand Up, Redemption Song

And..

No woman No Cry

Love the part that goes "everythings gonna be all right."

I just gotta believe that..... in the end... everything has to be all right. It just has to be.

Editted to add:

Now you see the light, you stand up for your rights!

[malaise]

41. Bob rules in these times

I've been listening to them almost non-stop since November.

?list=PLqozyVM2mpriIF8PSuVi_NdOydI--bGzr

?list=PLqozyVM2mpriIF8PSuVi_NdOydI--bGzr

[VOX]

48. "The Walls Came Down" by The Call (1983). Could have been written this morning...

https://m.

Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They'd all been warned
And the walls came down
They stood there laughing
They're not laughing anymore
The walls came down

Sanctuary fades
Congregation splits
Nightly military raids
The congregation splits
It's a song of assassins
Ringin' in your ears
We got terrorist thinking
Playing on fears

Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They'd all been warned
But the walls came down
I don't think there are any Russians
And there ain't no Yanks
Just corporate criminals
Playin' with tanks

[Mr. Ected]

55. One of my all-time faves

If nothing else, I hope Trump inspires new artists to speak their voices. It would be a great way to shake up our youth and refocus our attention to the things that really matter.

[VOX]

70. Absolutely! *fist bump* n/t

[malaise]

60. Nice

Thanks

[VOX]

71. *Tips cap* My pleasure, even though it's dark stuff. n/t

[Greywing]

50. Imagine, Hallelujah, and all the folk music from the 60s

and I find myself singing We Shall Overcome all the time

[GP6971]

51. I would go with anything by the Moody Blues

if I could just get "Eve of Destruction" by Barry McGuire out of my head.

[bhowle]

52. Apocalypse Now sound track n/t

[Proud Liberal Dem]

53. The Touch, Dare (Transformers the Movie), Rocky 4 sdtrk

The score to Rogue One is also keeping me in a "rebelling" sort of mood.

Edit: Come to think of it, Rocky 4 seems quite appropriate for other reasons.....

[Hoyt]

54. When I feel like this, I start playing my guitar or mandola. I can beat on it, play sad,

play cheerily like during women's march, totally escape or just sit strumming thinking about things. You can sing whatever, and even record it.

Grab a drum, ukulele, keyboard or something, and try it.

Otherwise, I'd listen to 60s protest stuff and those recent acts influenced by protest.

[Mr. Ected]

56. Two Hangmen by Mason Proffitt

One of the all-time great protest songs.

[TygrBright]

57. Paul Simon's Greatest Hits- Esp. "Mother & Child Reunion" and "Boy in the Bubble." n/t

[fierywoman]

58. Mozart...

... a lot of Mozart. More later stuff than earlier stuff. Some Beethoven. Always Bach. Mahler when I can't crawl out of bed for the depressingness of it all.

[otohara]

59. Moderat - Live in Berlin

[TrekLuver]

61. The song "Fuck Donald Trump" is on heavy rotation....and the one with Obama "singing" it is even

better.

Obama:

[malaise]

65. LOL

Thanks

[TrekLuver]

67. I posted the wrong Obama video....this is Priceless..

[PasadenaTrudy]

62. The La La Land soundtrack...n/t

[Jersey Devil]

64. Coming to America - Neil Diamond

"in the eye of the storm"

[Stellar]

66. Marvin Gaye songs were both taken, so I thought of Yolanda Adams..

[ornotna]

68. Bob Marley

Selassie is the Chapel. I fear dark times ahead.

And when the reflecting is done, Get up Stand up.

[Warren DeMontague]

69. Little America

[mfcorey1]

72. Peace Be Still
