04/02/2003 Archived Entry: "New Anti-War Songs"

Some great songs have been released lately against the war in Iraq. Here's where you can listen to them online.

System of a Down - Boom!
Best place to see the video

Here's the System of a Down site

There's actually a bunch of (fairly big name) artists that have released
anti-war songs. You can get most of them online

REM - The Final Straw
Lenny Kravitz - We Want Peace
Beastie Boys - World Gone Mad
Madonna - American Life - apparently the video was quite anti-war - but
she's pulled it:

I have decided not to release my new video. It was filmed before the war
started and I do not believe it is appropriate to air it at this time. Due
to the volatile state of the world and out of sensitivity and respect to the
armed forces, who I support and pray for, I do not want to risk offending
anyone who might misinterpret the meaning of this video

Zack De La Rocha (guitarist for Rage Against the Machine) and DJ Shadow have
released "March of Death"

If you find any more, let me know.

Dear Tara,
First of all I'd like to salute your anti-war efforts. I've found many anti-war songs, but if you're only interested in more or less known artists then I could offer 2 songs: Chumbawamba 'Jacob's ladder' and George Michaels 'The grave'.(http://www.peace-not-war.org)
Also you could listen to my modest contribution if you choose.
Here’s the link to the song for you to listen:

Thank you for your time.

With respect
