Welcome to the Ron Paul Music Torrent!
In putting this together, it gradually became clear that there are a truly astounding number of
songs which have been made in support, in celebration, and in outright adoration of that icon for
liberty, Ron Paul. These songs have been written by people worldwide and have poured out in a stream
of creativity for the past five years. Why are folks so excited about this unassuming man from
Texas?
Because they want LIBERTY! They just want to be free! The establishment, meanwhile, is doing their
best to smother and destroy this uprising. This epic struggle against overwhelming odds brings
powerful emotions to the surface, and out of those feelings of frustration, inspiration, and
dedication comes the Ron Paul songs cottage industry.
Everyone has made so *many* songs, in fact, that I questioned whether I should winnow the list down
somewhat. In the end there were a few that did not make the cut, due to them being just too
horrible. But I decided to leave the overwhelming majority in the collection. And so you get a whole
crazy range of musical expression, from young Logan in Utah switching on his webcam to go nuts on
his air guitar about how much he hates Hillary and Ron Paul has the right ideas, to elaborate and
highly polished pieces like "President Paul," "Message of Freedom," or "You're the Best Man for the
Job." A great variety of styles is represented as well, though not all -- as you can see if you sort
the songs by genre, no one has yet written a Ron Paul Polka nor a Ron Paul Disco, so hopefully
someone will rise to that challenge.
So, without further ado, and after many years of collection, and many hours of diligent scouring of
the internet, I present for your enjoyment:
401 Songs.
2 Music Videos.
1 Big Heaping Helping of Freedom!
If you listen to all these and still don't support Ron Paul... what can I say? I don't know what's
wrong with you!

Obviously you could add other non-Ron Paul specific songs, such as "We're not Gonna Take It," "I'm
Proud to be an American," "The Final Countdown," etc.
This project has been a labor of love. I hope that you enjoy it. I have added tons of metadata to
the songs to make them more useful to you and add to your joy. To see it all, you'll have to enable
the display of Title, Subtitle, Artist, Album, Track, Year, Genre, Album Artist, and Publisher. (In
Windows, at the top of the "Ron Paul Music 2" window click on the "View" menu and select "Choose
details..."). To use the "00 About the songs.csv" file, you will have to tell your spreadsheet
program to treat ~ (the tilde) as the delimiter, not the comma or anything else. Many of the songs I
had to name, because they either were untitled or were titled the same thing as 20 other songs, so I
hope I did OK in my title choices. In the Subtitle metadata field I put alternate title
possibilities, or the original title, or the first line, or other memorable lines. I mis-used the
Album Artist field to put in a web address where you can find the song. This is most often a Youtube
video, and some of the videos are enjoyable to watch as you're listening to the song, so have fun
with that.
Keep fighting the good fight, my friends. Don't give in to tyranny. Keep the r3VOLution alive!
"Don't give up. Don't retreat into cynicism. Even if we don't win, life is about fighting for
something greater than yourself. It's a good thing to fight for what's right, and it's enjoyable to
fight for what's right, and it's immensely satisfying to fight for what's right." -Tom Woods
