Up goes the Three Gorges Dam
My band Xanadu 上都 wrote a song about the Three Gorges Dam and the migration and destruction it has caused. Here are the lyrics, I hope you enjoy the song! You can check us out at www.youtube.com/xanadushangdu or www.myspace.com/xanadubeijing
I am faking
strong, unwavering
a perfect alibi
That rescues me
From all I see
of rural poverty
Flowing down stream
Grabbing all belongings
Sheets, clothes, food for walking
Away from what was home
Near the long river
A sight soon to wither
And leave people dry
Its no surprise
They’re left without a dime (works hard to find to feed these lives)
Up goes the dam
Example of man’s
Use of power over land
I see shades of grey
From steel to rock in the haze
This place has seen some better days
I heard once before but now becoming more and more
Into a disgrace of the human race My band Xanadu 上都 wrote a song about the Three Gorges Dam and the migration and destruction it has caused. Here are the lyrics, I hop... more -
Folk singer voice on war
Utah Phillips, the legendary folk musician and peace and labor activist, has died at the age of seventy-three. Over the span of nearly four decades, Utah Phillips worked in what he referred to as “the Trade,” performing tirelessly throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. The son of labor organizers, Phillips was a lifelong member of the Industrial Workers of the World, known as the Wobblies. He died last Friday of heart failure. Here is this man's view on war.

The Divided Heart - FFVIII, FF7, DoC, Crisis Core, Lineage2
so sorry for the quality of the clip, youtube did it =_=
Finally, i finished this amv but it took a quite long time, longer than I expected =_="
**Disclaimer** this is a purely fan-made vid
------
Artist: Elvenking
Song: The Divided Heart
Album: The Sythe
Scenes: Final Fantasy VIII, Advent Children, Crisis Core, Dirge of Ceberus, Lineage II
------
Lots of ppl don't like Elvenking's latest album, especially this song. I know Elvenking is no longer folk metal and their fans will miss it a lot (me too T_T) but after all, Elvenking is still Elvenking, the style can be changed but their talent is still there. I just accept it and hope that with this change, ppl can know more about them as a great metal band.
The Divided Heart is called "gay" and "emo" and tons of more things, especially with the official video clip. Well I still think it's a good song ( the first time that I heard Elvenking also =P ) and it also reminds me about lots of things happened. I don't think this song is gay or emo and although its not folk, I still like it and that's all.
The "divided hearts" is exactly right for Zack/Cloud , Cloud/Aerith, Vincent/Lucrecia and I put Rinoa/Squall there just because I was impressed by the part when Squall remembered about his memories with Rinoa and the first time ever, he cried. Lineage has the same moving scenes, so I also put it there. anyway this is Elvenking so I wanted to put at least an elf here too and there we have a beautiful elf =D
...poor Cloud.. he lost both Zack and Aeris T__T
Lol hope you enjoy this one

The Divided Heart - Elvenking
[Lyrics by: Damna]
(Half my heart a gift of purity
Half my heart a deadly curse
Half will live in sweet obscurity
Half will take me to my hearse)
Two sided heart pushing to face another walk from the start
Shifting my soul to what was heaven before and now's just a stain, a novelty no more
Passion and soul together deceiving my brain and I fall
But soon they will fade delighted by something else and now I rewind, one more time
Waiting for...
all my feelings now in vain
The Divided Heart!
Tearing me apart
The divided heart
Playing it's game for all these wasted years
I have been walking alone
All these years I have been carried away - carried away
Your blood is mine, the shivers it's sending me just right through my spine
Are gonna crawl, splitting my heart in two and haunting my soul - illusionned no more
Passion and soul together deceiving my brain and I fall
But soon they will fade delighted by something else and now I rewind, one more time
Waiting for all lights to fade away,
all my feelings now in vain
The Divided Heart!
Tearing me apart
The divided heart
Playing it's game for all these wasted years
I have been walking alone
All these years I have been carried away - carried away
The tears that I don't cry won't fill my eyes but pain inside I feel is real
Pain is real until the day I'll die
The divided heart
Tearing me apart
The divided heart
Playing it's game for all these wasted years
I have been walking alone
All these years I have been carried away - carried awa so sorry for the quality of the clip, youtube did it =_= ... more -
