Angry Music (tradition, America, verse, islam)

[Djamila]

What are some of your favorite, passionate, angry songs?

My most recent favorite is probably "Gdje je moja raja", by Neda. It means "Where are my people", and the lyrics are about how Sarajevo is different without them.

Very, very angry song. The verses are done with a very strong, traditional Islamic flair but the chorus is practically heavy metal by Bosnian standards. Beautiful piece!

Sve one godine bez bola i tuge ostase
Svi dani srece vratit se nece i boljet ce

Sarajevo, Sarajevo gdje je moja raja,
gdje je moja raja
Dal’ nas ista ljubav spaja, da li smo jos raja,
da li smo jos raja

Proljece zove al’ behara nema k’o nekada
Miris sa Igmana dusu mi opija u snovima

Sarajevo, Sarajevo gdje je moja raja,
gdje je moja raja
Dal’ nas ista ljubav spaja, da li smo jos raja,
da li smo jos raja

Jim Steinman's "Life is a Lemon and I Want My Money Back," as sung by Meat Loaf.

" It's all or nothing
And nothing's all I ever get
Everytime I turn it on
I burn it up and burn it out

It's always something
There's always something going wrong
That's the only guarantee
That's what this is all about

It's a never ending attack
Everything's a lie and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and I want my money back!

And all the morons
And all the stooges with their coins
They're the ones who make the rules
It's not a game - it's just a rout

There's desperation
There's desperation in the air
It leaves a stain on all your clothes
And no detergent gets it out

And we're always slipping through the cracks
Then the movie's over -fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back!"

Here are a couple of my favorites. I'm computer illiterate so I don't know how to make the lyrics appear on the post, but (hopefully) these links will work:

I'm shocked...ok not really

Alanis Morisette in her jagged little pill album, it's been ages since I last listened to any of her music.

Zao:

American Sheets on the Deathbed


AWESOME

[Djamila]

How do you cool your lips after a summer's kiss
How do rid the sweat after a body's bliss
How do you turn your eyes from a romantic glare
How do you block the sound of a voice you'd know anywhere

Oh, I really should've known by the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace, the expression on your face that told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give on how to be insensitive

How do you numb your skin after the warmest touch
How do you slow your blood after a body's rush
How do you free your soul after you've found a friend
How do you teach your heart it's a crime to fall to love again

Oh, you probably won't remember me, it's probably ancient history
I'm one of the chosen few who went ahead and fell for you
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch, I fell too fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have some advice to give on how to be insensitive

I just downloaded this song the other day.

Christmas Eve, Sarajevo
Trans-Siberian Orchestra

This song became a Roman Catholic classic in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it's instrumental but very rough and bitter in response to the Serbian practice of bombing Roman Catholic Churches on Catholic Christmas Eve (Dec. 24, the Serbian Christmas is January 7).
