  1. #KleeBenally's acoustic cover of #TheRamones song "I Believe in Miracles."

    Klee: "One of my favorite Ramones songs of all times. I've covered this before live and with my previous band.

    "I believe in miracles
    I believe in a better world for me and you
    I believe in miracles
    I believe in a better world for me and you"

  2. #KleeBenally on his cover of the #BobMarley's song "Redemption Song":

    "I have a complicated feeling about this song but wanted to fit in with a Diné hand drum style... you can read about that story on my patreon ;)

    "This is also for my Afro-Indigenous relatives and all those combating anti-Blackness that is perpetuated in many Indigenous communities. For #Diné '#Nahiłi' is a term my sister Radmilla Cody has introduced to address anti-Blackness in #DinéBikeyah. If I ever perform this live, it would definitely be a shout out for all those challenging #AntiBlackness and showing love for #AfroIndigenous relatives."

  3. #KleeBenally's on his cover of the #TomWaits song "Earth Died Screaming."

    "#Climatechange is a consequence of the war against #MotherEarth.
    The #greenwashing of #capitalism and #colonialism perpetuates the nightmare of #ecocide and #genocide of #IndigenousPeoples.

    "#LithiumMining is intensifying to meet demand of 'green' #EV cars. This means further targeting and destruction of #Indigenous #SacredLands and water. Support #Hualapai & #Shoshone (and beyond!) resistance to lithium mining.

    From mining, transport, milling, and waste, 'clean/green' #Nuclear energy is a deadly lie. There are more than 10,000 abandoned uranium throughout the so-called US that have been left to permanently contaminate our communities with deadly #radioactive pollution. There is also no permanent plan to deal with the highly radioactive waste from nuclear power generation. #YuccaMountain, a sacred site for #WesternShoshone, is still being considered for a national nuclear waste repository.

    "For wind turbines, solar panels, and electric vehicles, #ResolutionCopper proclaims that they desperately need to mine the copper beneath #OakFlat, a sacred site for #SanCarlosApache.

    "We can't ignore the brutal impacts associated with the sourcing of necessary metals and minerals needed to
    'sustain' unsustainable ways of life.

    "#GreenCapitalists and #colonizers dream, while the Earth dies screaming."

  8. #PowerToThePeople

    "Say we want a revolution
    We better get on right away
    Well, get then on your feet
    And enter the street

    Singin' power to the people, power to the people
    Power to the people, power to the people, right on

    A million workers workin' for nothin'
    You better give 'em what they really own
    We got to put you down
    When we come into town"

  9. It's cathartic to sing this song at the top of your lungs, especially the last two lines. Here's the last verse.

    "Tramp the Dirt Down" by Elvis Costello

    Well I hope you live long now
    I pray the Lord your soul to keep
    I think I'll be going before
    We fold our arms and start to weep
    I never thought for a moment
    That human life could be so cheap
    [Refrain]
    But when they finally put you in the ground
    They'll stand there laughing and tramp the dirt down.

  10. Get Up Stand Up

    "Get up, stand up
    Stand up for your rights
    Get up, stand up
    Don't give up the fight
    Get up, stand up
    Stand up for your rights
    Get up, stand up
    Don't give up the fight

    You, preacher man don't tell me
    Heaven is under the earth
    You a duppy and you don't know
    What life is really worth
    It's not all that glitter is gold
    And half the story has never been told
    So now we see the light
    We gonna stand up for your rights
    Come on

    Get up, stand up, brother
    Stand up for your rights, come on
    Get up, stand up, sisters
    Don't give up the fight, I'm beggin' you to
    Get up, stand up
    Stand up for your rights
    Get up, stand up
    I say don't give up the fight

    'Cause you know most people think
    A great God will come from the skies
    Take away every little thing
    And left everybody dry
    But if you know what life is worth
    You would look for yours right here on earth
    And now we see the light
    We gonna stand up for our rights
    Come on

    Get up, stand up
    Don't make them push you 'round
    Stand up for your rights, come on brothers
    Get up, stand up, be brave, now
    Don't give up the fight, I say
    Get up, stand up
    Stand up for your rights
    Don't let them hold you down
    Get up, stand up
    I say don't give up the fight

    We're sick and tired of this game of technology
    Humbly asking Jesus for His mercy
    We know and we know and understand
    Almighty Jah is a living man
    You fool some people sometimes
    But you can't fool all the people all the time
    And now we see the light
    We gonna stand up for our rights
    Come on

    Get up, stand up
    Stand up for your rights, come on brothers
    Get up, stand up
    I say don't give up the fight
    Don't let them push you 'round
    I say, get up, stand up
    Stand up for your rights
    Come on sisters
    Get up, stand up
    I say don't give up the fight"

  11. Strength

    "Give me love
    Give me hope
    Give me strength
    Give me someone to live for

    Who will light the fire that I need to survive
    Who will be the life blood coursing through my veins
    Like a river flowing that will never change
    I need someone I can depend on

    I’m a man of emotion who can’t hide the tears
    I’m a man of feeling who can’t hide the pain
    I’m alone on the outskirts of town where no one knows my name
    I’m at the point in my life where I need affection

    Give me love
    Give me hope
    Give me STRENGTH
    Give me someone to live for

    Someone write me a letter, I need to know that I’m still alive
    Someone give me a telephone call, I need to hear a human sound
    Someone open up a door and let me out of this place
    I’ve been caged up for oh so long, I don’t know if I’m living or dying

    Give me love
    Give me hope
    Give me STRENGTH
    Give me someone to live for

    I walk alone, across the outskirts of town
    I can’t control what I’m going through now
    Will you light the fire that I need to survive
    Will you donate the life blood coursing through my veins
    Will you open up the door and let me out of this place
    I’ve been caged up for oh so long, I don’t know if I’m living or dying

    Give me love
    Give me hope
    Give me STRENGTH
    Give me someone to live for"

  12. Idiots Rule

    "I got a lie
    A fat fuckin' lie
    About a law
    Idiots obey
    They made it easy
    Now cheaters have their way
    You hi-di-ho's
    You're living on your knees
    Forget the rule!
    Oh - idiots rule!
    Forget the rule!
    Oh - idiots rule!
    Idiot!"

  13. When The Generals Talk

    "Up there, up there, up there on the platform
    He is speaking to the people
    The people are responding
    With clapping and a cheering
    But the meaning of the message
    Not revealed to those assembled
    They're taken for a ride
    Taken in his stride

    "When the Generals talk
    You better listen to him
    When the Generals talk
    You better do what he say
    When the Generals talk
    You better listen to him
    When the Generals talk
    You better do what he say"

  14. #SanJacinto by #PeterGabriel, 1982

    "Thick cloud, steam rising
    Hissing stone on sweat lodge fire
    Around me, buffalo roam
    Sage in bundle, rub on skin

    Outside, cold air
    Stand, and wait for rising sun
    Red paint, eagle feathers
    Coyote calling, it has begun

    Something moving in, I taste it in my mouth
    And in my heart
    It feels like dying, slow
    Letting go of life

    (Hyena wakan tanka)
    (Hyena wakan tanka)
    (Hyena wakan tanka)
    (Hyena wakan tanka)

    Medicine man lead me up though town
    Indian ground, so far down
    Cut up land, each house, a pool
    Kids wearing water wings, drink in cool

    Follow dry river bed, watch Scout and Guides
    Make pow-wow signs
    Past Geronimo's disco
    Sittin' Bull steakhouse, white men dream

    A rattle in the old man's sack, see
    Look at mountain top, keep climbing up
    Way above us the desert snow
    White wind blow

    I hold the line
    The line of strength that pulls me through the fear
    San Jacinto
    I hold the line
    San Jacinto
    The poison bite and darkness take my sight
    I hold the line
    And the tears roll down my swollen cheek
    Think I'm losing it, getting weaker

    I hold the line!
    I hold the line!
    San Jacinto
    Yellow eagle flies down from the sun
    From the sun

    We will walk, on the land
    We will breathe, of the air
    We will drink, from the stream
    We will live, hold the line
    Hold the line
    Hold the line
    Hold the line."

    Music video:
    youtube.com/watch?v=SCS7Ibuiya

    "This song explores the contrast between the artificial world of Palm Springs and the Indian communities on the other side of the San Jacinto Mountains who have spiritual ties to the land. Gabriel told Uncut magazine April 2014 the song was written 'about the culture clash between Native America and present-day America.'"
