Συνέχεια στο αντιπολεμικό και, ταυτόχρονα, το Οκτωβριανό μας tribute, με ένα τραγούδι της PJ Harvey. Σε mp3 και βίντεο. Aπό το ιδιαίτερα σημαντικό άλμπουμ της Let England Shake του 2011.

✻

We continue our anti-war tribute, along with the October born one, with a song by PJ Harvey. On mp3 and video. From her particularly important album Let England Shake of 2011.

❝ Death was everywhere
In the air and in the sounds
Coming off the mounds of Bolton’s Ridge
Oh, death’s anchorage
When you rolled a smoke or told a joke
It was in the laughter and drinking water
It approached the beach as strings of cutters
Dropped into the sea and lay around us
Death was in the ancient fortress
Shelled by a million bullets
From gunners waiting in the copses
With hearts that threatened to pop their boxes
As we advanced into the sun
Death was all and everyone
Death was all and everyone
As we advancing in the sun
As we advancing every man
As we advancing in the sun
Death hung in the smoke
And clung to 400 acres of useless beach front
A bank of red earth, dripping down
Death is now and now and now
Death was everywhere
In the air and in the sounds
Coming off the mounds of Bolton’s Ridge
Oh, death’s anchorage
Death was in the staring sun
Fixing its eyes on everyone
It rattled the bones of the Light Horsemen
Still lying out there in the open
As we advancing in the sun
As we advancing every man
As we advancing in the sun
Sing, “Death to all and everyone”❞

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
