Io ho comprato (su ebay)il cd di Prince ed è il migliore acquisto che potessi fare. Ne ho sentito parlare bene ed il fatto che fosse realizzato da un cantante tdg mi ha fatto subito capire che non sarebbe stato il solito cd pop americano che fa riferimento al sesso e robacce varie. In questi giorni ho ascoltato le canzoni diverse volte e mi piace davvero un casino. Se si ha la possibilità di ascoltare musica moderna libera dai soliti cliché (sesso, droga etc), ben venga.
Bono degli u2 qualche tempo fa scrisse anche la prefazione x il libro dei salmi.
Vi posto il testo di una canzone del nuovo cd di Prince, x chi sa l'inglese capirete subito il bel messaggio che c'è dentro.
Beautiful, Loved And Blessed
Wake up
Ur beautiful, loved and blessed
Feel me? (I think I do)
When U found me I was just a piece of clay
I was 4mless, U gave me a new name
With the breath of life I now live abundantly
All I needed was the potter's hand
And the blood on Calvary (that's right)
But 2 much power (tell it)
Can can sometimes turn 2 shame
2 much desire
Sometimes makes U feel the same (come on)
But 4giveness is how U win the game
I begged 4 truth, now I know the truth
And that is when U came and said I was...
Beautiful, loved and blessed
I'm better than the day b4
Cause U made me confess that I am...
Beautiful, loved and blessed
When U're free U're really free indeed
All U gotta do is just plant the seed
A constant battle 2 stay ahead of the game
Is anybody famous when everybody wants fame?
Always trying 2 break U down
Thinkin' that'll raise 'em up
I just wanna b happy
Come take this bitter cup from me
If I were ever 2 write my life story
I could truly say through all the pain and glory
I was just a piece of clay in need of the potter's hand
Cause when U whispered in my ear
The words I so now understand, oh...
Beautiful, loved and blessed
I'm better than the day b4
Cause U made me confess that I am...
Beautiful, loved and blessed
When U're free U're really free indeed
All U gotta do is just plant the seed
Everything U made U said, "That's good"
B4 the fall of man U said, "That's good"
Everytime I walk in faith, that's good
U let me see another day, that's good
B4 the earth was made U said,
"Tamar, I will lead the way and U'll go far"
Knowledge and understanding
Understanding is good
And when I wake up in the morning
All I hear in my hood is people saying that they're...
Beautiful, loved and blessed
When U rescue me from the darkness
and our heart just must confess
Beautiful, loved and blessed
When U're free U're free indeed
All U gotta do is just plant the seed
Hey, hey, hey
Wake up it's a new day
Hey, hey, hey
Wave Ur hands in the air and say
Hey, hey, hey
Wake up it's a new day
Hey, hey, hey
Wave Ur hands in the air and say
Beautiful, loved and blessed
U rescued me from the darkness in the wilderness
But I am beautiful, loved and blessed
No matter what the challenge
I always pass the test
That's what I am, beautiful
That's what I am, beautiful
I don't mean 2 put nobody down
Still I must confess that I am...
Beautiful, that's what I am
That's what I am
When U wanna give up, don't cause U know
U always got a friend
That's what I am, that's what i am
Thats' what I am
Beautiful, beautiful
That's what I am, that's what i am
Thats' what I am
Beautiful, beautiful
oh yeah, oh yeah
Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Lux lucet in tenebris
