Για σήμερα, τη μέρα των πιο κρίσιμων προεδρικών εκλογών εδώ και χρόνια στις ΗΠΑ, επέλεξα να ακούσουμε ένα υπέροχο καινούργιο τραγούδι που έγραψαν και ερμηνεύουν η Alicia Keys και η Brandi Carlile, για τη δημιουργία του οποίου συνεργάστηκαν με μια ομάδα γυναικών μουσικών, τις Ruby Amanfu, Brandy Clark, Lori McKenna, Hillary Lindsey, Hailey Whitters και Linda Perry. 

Το τραγούδι γράφτηκε με σκοπό να στείλει μήνυμα ενθάρρυνσης και ελπίδας και να προτρέψει τους Αμερικανούς πολίτες να ψηφίσουν, γιατί όλοι έχουν μια φωνή και οι φωνές τους μετράνε. Αξίζει πραγματικά να διαβάσετε όλους τους στίχους αυτού του κομματιού:

«I have a voice

Started out a whisper, turned into a scream

Made a beautiful noise

Shoulder to shoulder, marching in the street

When you’re all alone, it’s a quiet breeze

But when you band together, it’s a choir

Of thunder and rain

Now we have a choice

‘Cause I have a voice

I’m not living to die

Don’t stand in a wasteland

Look at me in the eye

Stop living a lie

And stand up next to me

You’ve got to put one foot in front of another

With a hand in a hand holding on to each other

Go on and rejoicе

‘Cause you have a voice

It is loud, it is clеar

It’s stronger than your fear

It’s believing you belong

It’s calling out the wrong

From the silence of my sisters

To the violence of my brother

We can, we can rage

Against the river

Feel the pain of another

I have a voice

I have a voice

And I let it speak for the ones who aren’t yet running free

It’s killing me

No one’s saying what we need to hear

I will not let silence win

When I see all the pain our people are in

There’s no other choice

‘Cause I have a voice

It is loud, it is clear

It’s stronger than your fear

It’s believing you belong

It’s for calling out the wrong

From the mouths of our mothers

To the lips of our daughters

We can, we can dream

Like our brothers speaking loud like our fathers

We can, we can heal

Can you hear us?

Can you hear us now?

I have a voice

Started out a whisper, turned into a scream

Made a beautiful noise

Shoulder to shoulder, marching in the street

When you’re all alone, it’s a quiet breeze

When you’re all alone, it’s a quiet breeze

But when you band together, it’s a choir

Of thunder and rain

Now we have a choice

‘Cause I have a voice».
