Subject: RE: req/ADD: Simple Song of Freedom (Bobby Darin) From: GUEST,# Date: 25 Aug 14 - 03:49 AM Good work, Joe. We don't get Spotify in the Frozen North. TIA, Mag: The song was released on a recording back in 1969. There is no reason anyone couldn't sing it today. Best wishes :-) |

Subject: ADD: Simple Song of Freedom From: Joe Offer Date: 25 Aug 14 - 03:24 AM I listened to the Bobby Darin recording on Spotify, and I have a few minor corrections. SIMPLE SONG OF FREEDOM (Bobby Darin) Come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung before Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war Hey there, Mister Black Man, can you hear me? I don't want your diamonds or your game I just want to be someone known to you as me And I will bet my life you want the same So come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung before Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere We, the people here, don't want a war Seven hundred million are you listening? Most of what you read is made of lies But speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's sun To wake to in the mornings when we rise? So come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung before Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere We, the people here don't want a war Brother Solzhenitsyn, are you busy? If not won't you drop this friend a line? Tell me if the man who is plowing up your land Has got the war machine upon his mind Come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung before Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere We, the people here don't want a war Now no doubt some folks enjoy doin' battle Like presidents, prime ministers or kings So let's all build them shelves Where they can fight it out among themselves And leave the people be who love to sing Come and sing a simple song of freedom Sing it like you've never sung before Let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere We, the people here don't want a war I say, let it fill the air, tell the people everywhere We, the people here don't want a war Freedom Freedom Freedom [Russian Novelist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008) won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1970 for his writings that questioned Soviet government actions] |

Subject: Lyr Req: simple song of freedom From: GUEST,mag, at the library Date: 24 Aug 14 - 07:24 PM couldn't find this in the DB; probably still under copyright? just caught up w/ that biopic of Bobby Darin: "Beyond the sea" (liked it in spite of the critics) never made it into the pantheon of anti VietNam songs? OK TO LEARN AND SING? ANYBODY KNOW? TIA, mag |
