United we stand, divided we fall

Ecco un altro video utilizzato per la campagna elettorale di Barack Obama.
Può, per certi versi, rappresentare anche un canto patriottico. 
Originariamente scritta da Bono e Dave Stewart nel 2002, American Prayer è stata poi modificata nel 2008 per la campagna di Barack Obama.
Curiosità: contiene anche una citazione di Martin Luther King.
Ecco il testo:
This is my American Prayer
This is my American Prayer
This is the time to finish what you started
And this is no time to dream
This is the room
We can turn off the dark tonight
Maybe then we might see
American Prayer
American Prayer
And this is the ground
That keeps our feet from getting wet
And this is the sky over our head
And what you see depends on where you stand
And how you jump will tell you where you're gonna land
American Prayer
American Prayer
My oh my
Couldn't get much higher
Let's not kick out the darkness
Make the lights brighter
And these are the hands
What are we gonna build with them?
This is the church you can't see
Remember!
Give me your tired, your poor and huddled masses
You know they're yearning to breathe free
This is my American Prayer
American Prayer
American Prayer
Like anybody, I would like to live a long life.
Longevity has its place.
But I'm not concerned about that now.
I just want to do God's will, and He's allowed me
to go up to the mountain.
And I've looked over
and I've seen the Promised Land.
I may not get there with you,
but I want you to know tonight,
that we as a people will get to the Promised Land.
When you get to the top of the mountain
Will you tell me what you see
If you get to the top of the mountain
Remember me
When you get to the top of the mountain
Will you tell me what you see
If you get to the top of the mountain
Remember me
When you get to the top of the mountain
Will you tell me what you see
If you get to the top of the mountain
Remember me
Ed ecco il video, questa volta a mo' di karaoke...

Questa l'ho davvero scoperta per caso.
Mi è piaciuta e la riporto anche qui.
Parlo di "American Child", una canzone di successo del cantautore country Phil Vassar.
Ecco il testo:
I was ten,
I was thin,
I was playing first base
with a secondhand glove and dirt on my face
In nowhere, Virginia
Who'd ever figure that kid in the yard would go very far
It was 419 Lakewood , had no silverspoons
Just an old beat up upright that played out of tune
Now I'm singin' and living the life that I love
And when I count my blessings I thank God I was
An American child
An American child
'Cause dreams can grow wild
Born inside an American child
Seven pounds, three ounces, she's got my nose
And she's into my heart as deep as it goes
With a promise that's more than just someone's last name
Anyone's equal, in late August came
An American child
An American child
'Cause dreams can grow wild
Born inside an American child
My grandfather would have been eighty today
But in '45 he fell down beside an American child
An American child
Oh, an American child
'Cause dreams can grow wild born inside an American child
An American child
Ed ecco il video:

A volte ritornano...
Ecco un'altra canzone "patriottica": "It's America" del cantautore country Rodney Atkins, presa dal suo album omonimo, uscito quest'anno.
Qui trovate il testo e subito dopo il video!
Buon ascolto!
Drivin' down the street today
I saw the sign for lemonade
They were the cutest kids
I've never seen in this front yard
As they handed me my glass
Smiled and thinkin' to myself
Man, what a picture perfect postcard this would make
Of America
It's a high school prom
It's a Springsteen song
It's a ride in a Chevrolet
It's a man on the Moon
And fireflies in June
Kids sellin' lemonade
It's cities and farms
It's open arms
One nation under God
It's America
Later on when I got home
I flipped the TV on
I saw a little town that some big
Twister tore apart
People came from miles around
Just to help their neighbors out
And I was thinkin' to myself
I'm so glad that I live in America
It's a high school prom
It's a Springsteen song
It's a ride in a Chevrolet
It's a man on the Moon
And fireflies in June
Kids sellin' lemonade
It's cities and farms
It's open arms
One nation under God
It's America
Now we might not always get it right
But there's no place else I rather build my life
Cause it's a kid with a chance
It's a rock'n'roll band
It's a farmer cuttin' hay
It's a big flag flies in the summer wind
Over some fallen hero's grave.
It's a high school prom
It's a Springsteen song
It's a welcome home parade
It's a man on the Moon
And fireflies in June
Kids sellin' lemonade
It's cities and farms
It's open arms
One nation under God
It's America
It's America
