"Now Rise" teableau for 04/19/15
How can one be comfortable
When others have no joy?
Prepare, then, to rise up,
And all one's gifts
Employ,
To free, to restore,
To be,
For Justice,
An envoy.

Sufjan Stevens - Fourth of July (music video)
(the album Carrie + Lowell - is about Sufjan's difficult relationship with his mother Carrie, and support from step father Lowell).
The evil it spread like a fever ahead
It was night when you died, my firefly
What could I have said to raise you from the dead?
Oh could I be the sky on the fourth of July?
Sufjan Stevens - Fourth of July (Carrie & Lowell Live)
After watching Parcels at Coachella I'll add one of their tracks too
Parcels - Transcend (live electro music, no lyrics)
We put together IFAKs for protests. Our group specializes in de-escalation training, environment awareness training, & life-saving street medicine awareness. One of our certified EMTs shares information about how to respond to med emergencies & get people to safety.
#streetmedicine #safety #protest
IFAKs are excellent for carrying on-the-go. You never know when there could be a medical emergency even outside of a protest environment. You never know when you could save someone's life.
Bonus Song: If religion is what you were looking for in your #JukeboxFridayNight #RiseUp #Music then I present the most optimistic person in the annals of rock and roll. If anyone could ever will us to rise up above our earthly limitations it would be this guy.

If Maurice White can't make you rise up, probably nothing ever will. Aired fifty years ago today! #JukeboxFridayNight #RiseUp #Music
Earth, Wind And Fire - Shining Star (Live):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yjiz9K42sjk&list=LLUwhfey9MublWMilUTVvxBQ&index=10
We begin #JukeboxFridayNight #RiseUp with a selection of Reasons To Rise Up #Music, because you can't make a change until you're well and truly fed up. Tonight's edition is narrated by a poet of the Seventies who will lay the groundwork for our musical journey; as narrator, Gil will have a few messages to impart, because in the U.S. the current reasons to rise up are actually 'same as it ever was.'
Gil Scott Heron - His Story:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHJ9HCyOw0Q&list=LLUwhfey9MublWMilUTVvxBQ&index=8
This song doesn't have the word "rise," but that's fine. I don't need much to justify hearing this bangin' intro.
(Oh, it has "Stand up. Stand up." Cool.)
Nass El Ghiwane - Intifada -- which means uprising BTW -- (1992, ) : https://moroccantapestash.blogspot.com/2011/09/solidarity-with-palestine-1992-style.html
* OTEP - Rise, Rebel, Resist (on the Smash The Control Machine album, 2009, ) : https://song.link/fr/i/1558582499
"Rise, rebel, make a fist, resist"
#JukeboxFridayNight #RiseUp Young Guns - Rising Up
https://song.link/gb/i/1442549204
They say that your best ain't good enough, but don't bow down when you should be rising up
One of the greatest resistance songs to dictatorships for this #JukeboxFridayNight #RiseUp #music #musica #ViernesDeMusica
Chico Buarque - Apesar de Você
https://youtu.be/AAYoBB_eca0
Bloodywood - Machi Bhasad (Expect a Riot)
Rise Up and get on the attack
Become the generation
To break the camel's back
Yazz - The Only Way Is Up
and
Cameo - Word Up
and if his way is wrong, tell him you're off
M People - Moving on Up
I'm movin' on up, you're movin' on out
Movin' on up, nothin' can stop me
Movin' on up, you're movin' on out
Time to break free, nothin' can stop me, yeah
SNAP! - Rhythm Is A Dancer
Rhythm is a dancer, it's a soul's companion
You can feel it everywhere
Lift your hands and voices, free your mind and join us
You can feel it in the air
Adam Lambert - Superpower
(be who you are, not who they want you to be)
You try to put me in a box
Make me something I’m not
Don’t give a fuck, 'cause I’m gonna take back
Elvis Presley - Burning Love
I feel my temperature rising
