Today I have an article I’ve been kicking around for a while. Music is a big part of the human experience, used to convey emotions and desires common to all mankind. Today I’ve collected some songs to represent the current revolutionary spirit welling up in not only Americans but people all throughout the world. The governments keep getting bigger and taking more power for themselves and removing more of our freedoms. The songs I picked today show that feeling and strike a chord with me. Some are newer songs and some are older from the hippie movement that saw that government was evil. So lets get down with some music today.

Muse – Uprising

This one didn’t surprise me that it made it on the list. I am a pretty big fan of the band Muse. In writing this article I found out even more reasons to like the band. Lead singer Matthew Bellamy describes himself as a left leaning libertarian. In describing this song “Uprising” He expressed his views that he feels lobbyists have undue influence on politicians as well as the political system. He states that “when people become powerful they often have a disregard for public opinion. Muse is a great band to look into further check them out here.

Freewill – Rush

In researching this I found out that many Rush songs were inspired by author Ayn Rand. In 2005 drummer and lyricist described himself as a left leaning libertarian. I grew up listening to Rush and enjoying it but not really paying attention to the lyrics. Now I will be paying more attention.

The Beatles – Revolution

This has always been my favorite Beatles song. The message is a little too hippie for me but the guitar rifts in this song are absolutely amazing. It will get the blood flowing for sure.

Buffalo Springfield – For What Its Worth

Though this song was written long ago for a different reason, like all good songs, it has a meaning that can apply to the current times. To me it speaks of an oppressive government enforcing by gun and threats. This song resonates with me about current affairs, it is a really timeless song.
