Thread Name: Anger songs
Subject: RE: Anger songs
I agree wi' oor wee Timmy that Stan Roger's "The House of Orange" is a deeply moving song for peace; it's angry not with one side or the other, but with ANYONE who considers that old grudge to be worth the endless renewing of mutilation and murder and the teaching of children to hate.

But it's a song of restrained anger, not rage. "I took back my hand and I showed him the door" is the action of a civilized man.
