Pink Floyd - - Mother

Rico Rodriguez - - L.O.V.E



Rico was a Cuban-born Jamaican ska and reggae trombonist.

Paul McCartney - - My Love

The Kinks - Sunny Afternoon.

The original version of Bella Ciao. Before it became an anti-fascist song, it was first a protest song about the conditions of the mondine, the Italian women who transplanted rice in southern Italy in the late 19th - early 20th century. The video combines scenes from a 1949 movie (Riso Amaro) and historical photographs of these women.

Bella Ciao delle Mondine -- Milva

Fleetwood Mac - - Albatross.

The Wailers - - Pass It On.

Sandie Shaw - - Always something there to remind me.

John Murphy - - Sunshine theme.

Luke Kelly - - The Auld Triangle.



"The Auld Triangle" is a song, which was first performed publicly as a part of the play The Quare Fellow (1954) by Brendan Behan.
The song is used to introduce the play, a story about the occurrences in a prison (in real life Mountjoy Prison where Behan had once been lodged) the day a convict is set to be executed. The triangle in the title refers to the large metal triangle which was beaten daily in Mountjoy Prison to waken the inmates ("The Auld Triangle goes Jingle Jangle"). The triangle still hangs in the prison at the centre where the wings meet on a metal gate.

Nick Drake - Northern Sky.

Sinead O'Conner - - I'll tell me Ma

Graeme Allwright was born in New Zealand and moved to France in 1948. He became a singer-songwriter of some repute. In addition to his own protest-songs, he translated into French a number of songs written by Leonard Cohen, Tom Paxton and Pete Seeger.

One of his anti-militarist songs:
