I Guess I Planted

Billy Bragg

Transposer:

I Guess I Planted Words: Guthrie. Music: Bragg [1997] [Verse 1] I guess I planted some long lonesome seed of a song Way down inside me long ago And now I can’t remember when it was But it joined up with the rest of them and grows It’s such a little song it don’t compare With all your big ones you hear everywhere But when it dawns way in the back of your mind The big ones are made up of the little kind [Chorus] Union Song. Union Battled. All added up. Won us all what we got now. Union Song. Union Battled. All added up. Won us all what we got now. [Verse 2] I can’t even start to look around here Without hearing this song And seeing all of us first separated Hurt apart and afraid And hungry for the union And so we kept on Singing and working fighting till we got it. And this is the big union song I guess I hear. [Chorus] Union Song. Union Battled. All added up. Won us all what we got now. Union Song. Union Battled. All added up. Won us all what we got now. [Bridge] [Verse 3] We fought there at your place We fought there on your ship And I guess if you missed out on The fight for our union You missed out on one awful big step ....... us people took. [Chorus] Union Song. Union Battled. All added up. Won us all what we got now. Union Song. Union Battled. All added up. Won us all what we got now. edited by Johnny10string from a transcription by: Justin Voss

Cette chanson évoque l'idée que certaines mélodies et paroles, bien que petites et apparemment insignifiantes, prennent racine en nous et se développent avec le temps. Elle parle d'un parcours collectif, d'unir des forces pour se battre pour des droits et des améliorations, soulignant l'importance de l'union parmi les individus. Il est question de souvenirs de luttes passées, où malgré les défis et les séparations, le chant et l'espoir pour une union ont persisté. Le contexte de cette œuvre se situe dans un mouvement plus large où des groupes de travailleurs se rassemblent pour revendiquer leurs droits. C'est une célébration de l'effort collectif et du pouvoir des simples actions, qui, cumulées, peuvent aboutir à des changements significatifs dans la société.
