"On the Turning Away" is a subtle protest song by Pink Floyd.
The video shows the Nazi concentration camps, the US Japanese internment, and CECOT in El Salvador. It concludes with the current unrest caused by ICE and the citizens who protest. Don't turn away!

Going Up The Country - Canned Heat (cover) YouTube video by Kirk Howe

Here's my take on "Going Up the Country". Note that the tune, the "flute" part, and the structure of the song were written and recorded by Henry Thomas in 1928. Canned Heat added new lyrics.
