Zilele acestea mi-am adus aminte de o melodie la care tin mult, desi este una trista, dar cu un mesaj foarte puternic, pe care noi, oamenii, nu l-am inteles, nu il
intelegem si probabil ca nu il vom intelege niciodata. Este vorba despre
"Earth Song" sau "Cantecul Pamantului", ce poarta marca
inegalabilului Michael Jackson, acest rege al muzicii pop, care a parasit
aceasta lume nebuna mult prea devreme, dar nu inainte de influenta definitiv
muzica, dansul si moda.
"Earth Song" sau
"Cantecul Pamantului" face parte din cel de-al 9-lea album de studio al lui Michael Jackson, intitulat "HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I" si a fost lansat in
noiembrie 1995 ca al 3-lea single din album, o balada care incorporeaza
elemente de blues, evanghelie si opera. Dupa "We Are the World",
"Man in the Mirror", and "Heal the Word", melodii ce au
avut de asemenea mesaje cu un puternic caracter social, "Earth Song"
a fost prima piesa a lui Michael care a avut ca tema principala mediul inconjurator.
Scrisa de Michael Jackson si
produsa in colaborare cu David Foster si Bill Bottrell, piesa "Earth
Song" a beneficiat si de un videoclip pe masura, filmat in patru regiuni
geografice, videoclip ce s-a axat pe distrugerea si renasterea Pamantului,
ce a primit si o nominalizare Grammy in 1997. "Earth Song" a fost
pe locul 1 in topurile din Marea Britanie, Germania, Islanda, Scotia, Spania si
Elvetia, in timp ce Michael Jackson a primit recunoastere din partea multor
organizatii de mediu si animale. (sursa: Wikipedia)
Dar iata si videoclipul si versurile acestei
piese cu totul si cu totul deosebita:
"What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things that you said
We were to gain
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said were yours and mine
What about rain
What about all the things that you said
We were to gain
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said were yours and mine
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, these weeping shores
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, these weeping shores
Aah, ooh
What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth, these weeping shores
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth, these weeping shores
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know…"
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know…"

Ce ar mai putea fi de spus? Pentru ca noi oricum nu vom invata nimic din greselile noastre si
nici nu ne vom schimba vreodata…
