I signed aboard some sea ships
Just to see the ocean roll;
I flew the clouds in airplanes
Just to satisfy my soul.
Up in that big blue heaven
My hopes can freely roam
I will build my sundried brickwall
Where my soul can feel at home.
My angel, my darling,
When that atom bomb does come;
Let me by your pillow
While this world’s on fire.
Wildfire will run crawling
While the walls will come falling;
Lay your weary head down
While the world’s on fire.
When the flames go creeping;
When the smoke plume is leaping;
We’ll play like we’re sleeping
While the world’s on fire.
While the skies they’re clearing
We’ll rise up dreaming;
Build our city from the ashes
When the world was on fire.
My angel, my darling,
When that atom bomb does come;
Let me by your pillow
While this world’s on fire.
The lyrics WORLD'S ON FIRE of WOODY GUTHRIE is also present in the album New multitudes (2011)
Woody Guthrie (1912-1967) è stato un cantautore, musicista e attivista americano considerato uno dei pionieri della musica folk americana moderna. Nato a Okemah, Oklahoma, Guthrie ha trascorso la sua infanzia durante la Grande Depressione, un'esperienza che ha profondamente influenzato la sua musica. Le sue canzoni spesso trattavano temi sociali come la povertà, l'ingiustizia e il lavoro, diventando una voce per i lavoratori e gli oppressi. ?? Guthrie è stato un sostenitore fervente del Partito Comunista americano e ha utilizzato la sua musica per promuovere le cause socialiste. La sua influenza sulla musica folk americana è immensa, ispirando generazioni di artisti come Bob Dylan, Joan Baez e Bruce Springsteen. Alcuni dei suoi brani più famosi includono 'This Land Is Your Land', 'Blowin' in the Wind' (anche se quest'ultima è stata resa celebre da Bob Dylan) e 'Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)'.
