Joe Grushecky y Bruce Springsteen publican nueva canción
Joe Grushecky y Bruce Springsteen han estado trabajando juntos de nuevo. Ambos artistas han estado colaborando en distintos proyectos desde 1994, cuando escribieron y grabaron las canciones del álbum de Joe American Babylon.
Esta vez han unido fuerzas para una nueva canción titulada «That’s What Makes Us Great», a modo de protesta contra Donald Trump. Grushecky escribió la canción y la mandó a Springsteen, quien grabó sus partes vocales y la devolvió a Joe.
El resultado de esta nueva colaboración musical sale hoy a la luz. La canción se estrenará en el canal E Street Radio (en la emisora por satélite SiriusXM) y estará disponible en descarga en la web de Joegrushecky.com.
Esta es la letra de la canción:
They come from everywhere
All longing to be free
They come to join us here
From sea to shining sea
And they all have a dream
As people always will
To be safe and warm
In that shining city on the hill
Some wanna slam the door
Instead of opening the gate
Ah, let’s turn this thing around
Before it gets too late
It’s up to me and you
Love can conquer hate
I know this to be true
That’s what makes us great
Don’t tell me a lie
And sell it as a fact
I’ve been down that road before
And I ain’t goin’ back
And don’t you brag to me
That you never read a book
I never put my faith
In a con man and his crooks
I won’t follow down that path
And tempt the hands of fate
Ah, let’s turn this thing around
Before it gets too late
It’s up to me and you
Love can conquer hate
I know this to be true
That’s what makes us great
In the quiet of the night
I lie here wide awake
And I ask myself
Is there a difference I can make?
Is there a difference I can make?
It’s up to me and you
Love can conquer hate
It’s up to me and you
Love can conquer hate
It’s up to me and you
Love can conquer hate
I know this to be true
And that’s what makes us great
That’s what makes us great
That’s what makes us great
That’s what makes us great
