Subject: Any July Songs From: GeoffLawes Date: 26 Jun 21 - 06:15 AM
-Joe Offer- Can you suggest any songs associated with the month of July ie: (A) Any songs with July in the title (B) Any songs with a July date given in the lyrics (C) Any songs referencing an event that is known to have occurred in July even if the lyrics do not actually say so. It would be very helpful to have links to performances of the songs and also more sources of information about them. INDEX OF JULY SONGS Below is an index of the Julysongs listed in Alphabetical order. The titles are blue click links which will take you to the area in thread where you will be able to see most of the posts for that title. I shall sometimes rearrange “ late” posts to group them with the appropriate main area of discussion so that they are not overlooked. When I add to someone’s post I make this clear by doing so beneath an orange line like the one below.

Subject: RE: Any July Songs From: Felipa Date: 26 Jun 21 - 02:40 PM songs for Bastille Day (14 July) http://www.top2040.com/2015/07/songs-for-bastille-day-french-revolution.html (mainly pop songs about freedom but first on the list is more directly connected to the occasion, "Bastille Day by Rush. An obvious top choice. The songs rocks out, and the deserves another listen. So we're marching to Bastille Day, the guillotine will claim her bloody prize..." https://frenchculture.org/music/12057-music-bastille-day "If you are curious about Bastille Day's traditional songs This year, to celebrate Bastille Day, we offer you a special playlist with tunes inspired by July 14. Amongst French Revolution songs, you will find Chant du Départ, a revolutionary and war song written by Étienne Nicolas Méhul (music) and Marie-Joseph Chénier (words) in 1794. This song was the official anthem of the First Empire. Nowadays, it is also the regional anthem of French Guiana. "We also invite you to discover (or rediscover) La Marseille which is the country's national anthem, written in 1792 by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle in Strasbourg after the declaration of war by France against Austria. In 1946, in London, the great French jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt improvised a gypsy jazz version of it with the French-Italian jazzman Stéphane Grappelli. A delight for the ears! 2Popular songs about July 14 include Douce France, written by Charles Trénet in 1943; the famous Song of Roland, one of the oldest French epic poem, written in 1083; as well as 14 Juillet (July 14), a song written in 1940 by the Swiss composer Gilles Jean-Villard for the occupied France and sung in 1943 by the French artist Renée Lebas."

Subject: RE: Any July Songs From: Felipa Date: 04 Jul 21 - 07:38 PM ZMAN MATN KHEYRUSEYNU, (The Time of the Giving of our Freedom) by Elyokum Tsunzer - aka Zunser (1836-1913), is a Yiddish song praising the freedom offered to Jewish immigrants to the U.S. I haven't found the text except for the chorus in transliteration Yiddish Philharmonic Chorus Fayer, ale yidn, the Fourth of July Dos iz undzer groyser yontef haynt Do zayen yiden fun ale pares fray Haynt bazigt men ale faynt my fellow Jews, celebrate the Fourth of July Today is our big holiday Here Jews are free from all pharoahs Today we conquer all our enemies from the video "liner" notes by Samantha Zerin Zunser viewed his immigration [from Lithuania] to America as "a second Exodus from Egypt," a Biblical analogy one can clearly see in the text to this song. In fact, while the version we sang is incredibly short (35 seconds!), Zunser's original poem, titled "Zman matn kheyruseynu" (The Time of the Giving of our Freedom) had five additional verses, which allowed him to make the contrast even starker: "From stereotypes of the 'crooked Jew', from curses in the newspapers, From the dark censures, from insulting government officials, From dirty anti-semitism — free!" (My fellow Jews, celebrate the Fourth of July...) To this day, [in Europe], the Jews are hated and persecuted; But our Declaration of Independence makes our country different! Our Constitution is sealed with gold! (My fellow Jews, celebrate the Fourth of July...)" ---- and yet Eliakum Tsunzer also wrote Kolumbus mit zayn golden land (Columbus and his golden land) a complaint about poverty in America. |

During the first hour of the Battle of the Somme some sixty thousand men were killed or wounded – among them were twelve officers and over six hundred other ranks of “McCrae’s Battalion”, the 16th Royal Scots. It was Edinburgh´s blackest moment since Flodden. These lads had enlisted voluntarily under the leadership of the charismatic Lieutenant-Colonel Sir George McCrae, partly in response to suggestions in the press that young sportsmen were not ‘doing their bit’ for the war effort." https://www.craigherbertson.com/recordings/hearts-of-glory/ Who cared for the Kaiser or imperial gains Love of our country, duty or fame? Between the whim of an airman and four feathers of shame We fought for the pals of a wee fitba team And when it was over just what had we done? There were no flags of glory for McCrae and his own There were no graves for heroes for our brothers and sons Who sleep 'neath the flowers in the fields of the Somme |

Subject: RE: Any July Songs From: Felipa Date: 12 Jul 21 - 06:08 PM On 14 July 2016, "Hank", a mixed breed pet dog, was seized in Belfast Northern Ireland under legislation which bans pit bull type dogs. Hank was neither the first nor the last dog to be seized under breed specific provisions of the Dangerous Dogs Act, but he was one of those who got the most publicity. Fortunately, Hank was spared the death penalty which many "of type" dogs receive. And fortunately, his case was adjudicated more quickly than many.
