“It's easy to fight when everything's right And you're mad with the thrill and the glory; It's easy to cheer when victory's near, And wallow in fields that are gory. It's a different song when everything's wrong, When you're feeling infernally mortal; When it's ten against one, and hope there is none, Buck up, little soldier, and chortle!” LittlesDifferentWarFeelingsSongFightingEasyFieldsVictoryTenGloryMadSoldierMortalsCheerThrillBucks Author:Robert W.

“One song isn't going to ever change things, but I suppose it's the accumulation of music generally [that is]. If you can imagine a world that has no music in it, it would be a very different world, so music does change the world by virtue of all the music in it. Cumulative music of every kind, from banging a drum to playing a flute or recording symphonies, or singing 'War, what is it good for?' All those things change the whole way we live.” IfsWorldWayKindDoeDifferentWarWholeWould BeSongVirtueImagineSingingChanging The WorldThings ChangeSymphonyAccumulationDifferent WorldsBangingFlutesCumulative Author:Mick Jagger

“I sing, not to hear the echo repeat, a shade fainter, my song! I think of light and not of glory! Singing is my fashion of waging war and bearing witness.
