The best Songs about War.

I once met a businessman in Taiwan. His name was Billy Yang. lol


Jimmie Driftwood - Billy Yank And Johnny Reb

My Father's War.

I posted this one in another thread 5½ years ago, but I think it belongs in this thread too...


Juluka - Impi

Impi! wo 'nans' impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi

Chornyy voron = Black raven

De Press - Bij bolszewika

Smash the Bolshevik

Ipi Tombi - The Warrior.

Juluka - High Country.

Comin' out of nowhere
Drivin' like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

Rainbow shaker
On a stallion twister
Bareback rider
On the eye of the sky
Stormbringer coming down
Meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning
Heading your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

Coming out of nowhere
Drivin' like a-rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way

Europe - Dreamer:

Other wars, when your time is done, you go home.

My grandfather's war - there is no home.

All bombed to # and gone.
Ruins as far as the eye can see.

History, what part you wanna hear?

When it was minus forty degrees, and men were frozen into statues?

The song of the most common declaration of war.



I just had too.

a reply to: intrepid

Nice one.


Although most of the thread has songs about the regular understanding of "war" (particularly focused on the "battlefield"), I also appreciate the odd one that's not so blatant, or about other contemporary sources of conflict, such as lgbt struggles, the class war and the war of sexes.

Mojo - Dark Clouds.

Europe - Cherokee.
