Songs always tell stories. Fiction or real, something is told. Today I’ve chosen songs that tell part of history or facts that concern people which, somehow, marked a city, region, or even the world. I, myself, got to know some of them while researching about this subject.
Here are the subjects:
* "Dallas 1PM", about the North American president JFK's murder.
* "El Fusilado", about the soldier that took part in the Mexican Revolution, Wenseslao Moguel, and was condemned to execution without a trial and, believe or not, survived.
* "Hurricane", about the wrongly applied sentence and imprisonment of North American boxer Hurricane Carter.
* "Flower Of Scotland", about the victory over Edward II of England by Robert I (or Robert The Bruce), which lead Scotland during the First War of Scottish Independence against England.
* "Holland, 1945", about the girl Anne Frank.
* "Hush Yael", about the murders committed by Samir Kuntar, when he was 16, in name of the terrorist group Palestine Liberation Front, in the view of the only survivor of the massacre, Smadar Haran.
* "Hudson", about the English sea explorer Henry Hudson.
* "The Night Chicago Died", about how the nights were in Chicago when Al Capone ruled.
* "Anthropoid", about a group of Czech paratroopers that killed Reinhard Heydrich, one of the main architects of the Holocaust. The operations' codename was Anthropoid.
* "Billy Graham", about the great and loving preacher Billy Graham.
* "Sun and Steel", about the Samurai Miyamoto Musashi, considered one of the greatest swordsmen ever seen.
