C’est l’histoire d’une fille

Pour vous faire partager mon ambiance musicale du moment : l’album de Grace, Hall of mirror. Une pure merveille.. Grace est une artiste née au Canada, fille de musiciens bourlingueurs, elle a appris à marcher dans un bus, ente concerts et tournées. A 7 ans, ses parents se séparent, elle part en Afrique avec sa mère. Depuis, Grace y est retournée souvent pour apprendre les griots, comme elle est partie en Inde pour s’imprégner de yoga et musique soufi. Grace a vécu en Alsace, en Californie et rue des Abbesses, à Paris. « Je suis une chanteuse de blues américaine, avec des racines européennes et le cœur en Afrique » dit-elle. Un beau mélange qui se ressent au fil de l’album. Jugez en vous même:

Grace - Lost

Les paroles de Imagine one day:

Too many people got nothin’ to eat
While the rich man a feast on his kill
Too many people got blood on their hands
Thinkin’ there’s nothin’ else they can do
And you go ’bout your day thinkin’ it’s okay
Won’t hurt you now if you just look away

Imagine one day it’s you, what would you do?
Imagine one day it’s you

You give your all
Yeah, you give your hand
Your compassion it flow from the source
You build you’re world here on equality
And together you find what your worth
Come on!
Stand up for freedom, the people will lead
Stand up for justice, oh let it be me

Imagine one day it’s you, what would you do?
Imagine one day it’s you, it’s your turn now

You think you’re different
Nothin’ could happen to you
But tables always turn
So you’ll need a helpin’ hand
To build on rock rather than a foundation of sanToo many people got nothin’ to eat

Too many people got blood on their hands
Thinkin’ there’s nothin’ else they can do
And you go ’bout your day thinkin’ it’s okay

Imagine one day it’s you, it’s your turn now

You think you’re different
Nothin’ could happen to you
But tables always turn
So you’ll need a helpin’ hand
To build on rock rather than a foundation of sand

How many lives will it take to realize
That we’re killin’ ourselves all the while
How many people must die here in vain
In the name of the price that we pay
Come on!
Stand up for freedom, the people will lead
Stand up for justice, oh let it be me

How many lives will it take to realize

Paroles de Lost:

Lost, In the dark for so long I was blind in my mind but now I realize
I can open my eyes… and see,
It was me, all along who was accusing the darkness
when I was the one blocking out my sun
I stood for too long waitin’ for my ship to come,
I was washed up and used, I was trampled and bruised
Here’s the news :
Chorus : Every little moment you spend on a worry
You spend on a fear, just to give it room to grow
So take back your fear and your worrying (and just)
Clear your pathway!

Trouble,
Don’t come round here no more knowing I stopped accusing
There’s no more divine, tell me where would it hide
‘Cause here, in the great hall of mirrorsyou get what you give,
You project what you live, reflect what you give
Pre chorus : Great waves of sunshine are comin’up your way,

Open up the flood gates and let your love light shine in
Chorus : Here, in the great hall of mirrors you get what you give,
You project what you live, reflect what you give
