Palestine

[@peterbrown6149]

Thank you Jim. I had the pleasure of hearing the great Christy Moore singing your song in the sunshine at a national march for Palestine in Dublin today.

[@JimPage]

Thank you for telling me. I love what Christy does with songs and it is an honor to be a part of his toolbox. People are demonstrating everywhere. I live in the one country that could change everything but it won't. People are losing their jobs here for speaking out, students censored, journalists, reporters. Our government is so unresponsive of this issue. Ireland is a great inspiration. Keep going.

[@stephenmurphy2212]

Yep. Christy did a great cover of this song despite not having his guitar on stage.

[@TMF78]

What a beautiful song! God willing, Palestine will be free sometime.

[@biffa1234100]

[@mosin949]

I love ❤️ your good heart, and I respect all good people of Americans who understand what's going on in Palestine 🇵🇸 👍 🙌 👏

[@quarryhillstudiosltd3095]

[@arifusshams2260]

Thanks for the Solidarity, while many opted to remain silent.

[@michelleholman535]

Brother Jim, i remain grateful to you for capturing and elevating this peoples’ struggle. Truth through music is salve to our brokenness

[@JimPage]

Thanks. I think it's a vitally important issue. Hopefully the song can help.

Thank you Mr. Page.

[@rebecca.hale.]

Thank you for this courageous song, Jim. ❤ Free Palestine 🇵🇸

[@BenGrosscup]

I learned your old version of this song and I love the update that you made!! Thank you Jim!

[@ayaalkhatib9278]

Thank you! Free Palestine 🇵🇸

[@Archie460]

💯 Respect, thank you 😢 Free free Palestine 🙏

[@Lauph1tup]

I literally grew up listening to the version of this song from collateral damage, seems like things have only gotten worse since then for Palestinians since then especially under the last two presidents

[@parry3231]

Netanyahu is the most problematic megalomaniac who is wanting a world war and is always willing to corrupt, murder and kill innocent people in his own ways of aggression and the clarity of stealing the land of the Palestinians. ... and other atrocities. THIS IS A BARBARIC DISPLAY OF HATRED AND GREED. WE ALL have to take the side of peacefulness in this together with our own individual voices and the clarity of our responsibilities as citizens of this world with our love and care for ourselves, and all people equally with compassion and respect for each other regardless of our differences between us all 🕊🌱🪷🍀 VOTE BLUE AND HELP US Usher IN A NEW UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS NEEDED FOR THE WELL-BEING OF THE WORLD WITH COMPASSION AND LOVE. DON'T LOSE YOURSELF IN IRONIC IRONIC DETACHMENT. DON'T RETREAT. THE BIGGEST THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY IS CYNICISM AND IT HAS LED TOO MANY PEOPLE TO TURN AWAY FROM POLITICS ! VOTE BLUE... YOU'VE GOT TO VOTE 🕊✌️💙💙💙💫 We are the strength of our republic and we all share a part in the healing of our body politic !

Thank you Thanks to you and everyone who is standing up And saying the truth From all humanity

[@adrianfielding4678]

So sad that this song has become even more apposite, 22 years after it was written.

[@coffee6783]

Love this song, written over 20 years ago! 👍❤🍉❤

Good man Jim…I’ve got one brewing as well…❤️🔥❤️🔥

[@JimPage]

Davog! Good man yourself. We will hook up one of these days.

[@brianchulito]

Thank you, we needed this 🇵🇸✊

[@golgroda]

I'm so happy you still lives :) Fist time I heard Jim Page was in the 80-ties. I var a metalhead and in my lokal store wanted Jimmy Page from Led Z. But I get the album "this movie i for real" and is was free of cost. I only pay for mail. Jim Page has a band that was one of the best musistans in sweden and the album was extemly good. I am really happy you still make good music and lyrics. Thank you!

[@JimPage]

Thanks for the compliment and I'm glad you liked that record! I have such good memories of those days. Traveling with Bjorn Afzelius, recording at Nacksving. I hope you're well. Things are crazy here. Our new president is the same old fascist only this time he's more organized.

[@manfredtotzauer9500]

very nice 🙏 😎

[@JimPage]

Thank you.

[@fionnmcnessa]

[@JimPage]

He has his reasons.

[@fionnmcnessa]

​Maybe however I feel we both missed out ​@JimPage

[@JimPage]

@@fionnmcnessa What do you mean?

[@fionnmcnessa]

@JimPage I mean I think it was worth a look and listen to he might of used it both him and I missed out

[@CarinaMiller-qi2pj]

[@Timmurphy468]

Amazing - thanks for writing and singing this.

[@JimPage]

Thanks, I worked hard on it.

[@finnmaceoin152]

I watched the sun’s gaze gain, on Gaza, but not for long. A mere postage stamp, poorly licked on a parched envelope. Nor postcode, nor yet addressed, nor sealed. Short note airmailed - par, Par Avion? non. A blue Bic bleeds.

[@JimPage]

Sad but beautiful. Wounded hearts.

[@dylanrecord]

Beautiful and powerful! may I ask, what is the tuning? Peace, Love and Free Palestine!

[@JimPage]

Standard tuning but I'm using two capos. First is a complete capo on the 3rd fret -- covers all 6 strings. Second is a cup capo (Shubb makes them) on the 5th fret -- only covers 3 strings: 2, 3, and 4. The first capo effectively moves the nut up to the 3rd fret and give me the key of C. The second capo give me open A if I just strum it -- but since the first capo puts the whole thing on the 3rd fret that open A becomes C . So what I'm playing is a mixture of open A tonalities in the key of C. If that makes any sense...

[@dylanrecord]

Thank you@@JimPage, very much appreciated, it does. It's a beautifully resonant tone, reminiscent of a Palestinian Buzuq! Solidarity and Thank you from Ireland. Please let me know if you have a link for donation. Peace and Love from Dublin

[@JimPage]

@@dylanrecordI do not have a donation button, would be a smart idea. I use PayPal but you need an account. If you have one I am paypalme/folkpunch. Thank you. By the way, Christy Moore just sang his version at Vicar Street earlier this month, benefit for Gaza. And I recorded it here with a soprano sax player - very tasty and minimal. I want to get it around to radio/media people in Ireland, have made some inroads buy not many. If you have any friends in media or in the movement you think should hear it let me know. Here's the link to listen. I can send download if you like. soundcloud.com/folkpunch/palestine

[@dylanrecord]

@@JimPage Thanks Jim. I heard the version with sax on Rte Radio 1, a couple of times, played on programme Late Date. Great that Christy played it! You are fondly remembered in Dublin! I have sent it to everyone in movement I am involved in - Aparthied-Free Arts - Donation in motion. Thank you Jim. This is a brilliant song. Peace and Love and Free Palestine!
