Probably not the most appropriate one for these times that I could think of, but I found this emotionally resonant.
Redgum - "I Was Only Nineteen" Elvis Costello's "Shipbuilding" (I love the version sung by Robert Wyatt as well as other covers) was the other to immediately come to mind. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

This one is an iconic anti-war song in the Nordic countries. It has English subtitles. Edited by The Anders - February 27 2022 at 12:45 |

A TON of Pink Floyd, but the best one is "Us And Them"

This is my favorite version of Eric Bogle's "The Green Fields of France", sung by June Tabor and titled in her case "No Man's Land/Flowers of the Forest"....

And while I'm on an Eric Bogle kick, here's the Pogues' version of "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda"...

a few ideas Strawbs "New World" Moody Blues "Question" Levelers "Another Man's Cause" Gordon Lightfoot "Sit Down Young Stranger" The Men they Couldn't Hang mostly attacked British imperialism in songs like "The Colours", "Dover Lights", and "Rosettes" Oysterband's "Fiddle or a Gun" is wonderful The Decemberists -"This is Why we Fight", "Sixteen Military Wives", "When the War Came" Edited by kenethlevine - February 27 2022 at 21:25 |

I love Redgum, though my favourite from them is "The Diamantina Drover", not anti war but a real emotional piece

Hi, Thanks, was going to add this, specially since it makes so much sense these days with Ukraine being senselessly raped. Another song in the same album also deserves a listing ... EPITATH was pretty much the same thing from a victim's point of view. And, maybe ... ANGE's Emile Jacotey deserves a mention ... since it was done 20 years before Roger did his copy ... even if we will have a hard time putting the album in perspective. It's still a beautiful album and it did not have to be "topical" like Roger's was later! Hard to believe no one mentioned Joan Baez! Maybe some thought she was fake ... though I'm not sure that was the case, impulsive maybe, but not fake!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
