KENTの独り言

今日は仕事がはかどりませんでした．
音楽を聴きながら仕事をしていたのですが，こんなサイトに行き当たりました．

We are the Worldは1985年3月の曲．当時高校入学直前のKentは，このレコードとミュージックビデオ（テレビ神奈川のミュートマ・ワールドで録画したんだと思う）を見ながら，一生懸命英語を覚えたような気がします．今でもちゃんと歌える．

この頃のアメリカは，今よりも余裕があったのかもしれませんね．今のアメリカに"You know love is all we need "と言われてもあまり真実味がありませんが．．．

今から考えても，とんでもないメンバーが集まって作った曲ですね．
もう亡くなってしまったアーティストも居ます．

しかも，同じ曲を歌っても，それぞれの歌になっているのがすごい．
マイケルはやっぱりマイケルだし，レイはレイ．
スティービーはスティービーだし，シンディはシンディ　になってる．

久しぶりにゆっくりと聴きました．



We Are The World
song by United Support of Artists for Afica (USA for Africa)

There comes a time when we heed a certain call (Lionel Richie)
When the world must come together as one (Lionel Richie & Stevie Wonder)
There are people dying (Stevie Wonder)
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life (Paul Simon)
The greatest gift of all (Paul Simon/Kenny Rogers)

We can't go on pretending day by day (Kenny Rogers)
That someone, somehow will soon make a change (James Ingram)
We're all a part of God's great big family (Tina Turner)
And the truth (Billy Joel)
You know love is all we need (Tina Turner/Billy Joel)

( CHORUS )
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving (Michael Jackson)
There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives (Diana Ross)
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me (Michael Jackson/Diana Ross)

Well, send'em you your heart so they know that someone cares (Dionne Warwick)
And their lives will be stronger and free (Dionne Warwick/Willie Nelson)
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread (Willie Nelson)
And so we all must lend a helping hand (Al Jurreau)

( REPEAT CHORUS )
We are the world, we are the children (Bruce Springsteen)
We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving (Kenny Logins)
There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives (Steve Perry)
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me (Daryl Hall)

When you're down and out there seems no hope at all (Michael Jackson)
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall (Huey Lewis)
Well, well, well, let's realize that a change can only come (Cyndi Lauper)
When we (Kim Carnes)
stand together as one (Kim Carnes/Cyndi Lauper/Huey Lewis)

(REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE )
