India Arie: Gift Of Acceptance

Poseedora de una voz envolvente, una sensibilidad penetrante y una calidad como pocos a la hora de componer, India Arie retornará este 2011 con un nuevo trabajo bajo su manto y visión soul. Sensibilidad y elegancia no la faltan a esta mujer, confesa de su amor y aprendizaje de la música por uno de los más grandes, Stevie Wonder. Este nuevo álbum llevará por título Open Door y parece ser que no será una continuación de su serie de trabajos bajo la denominación Testimony, sino un nuevo concepto en el que colaborará y compartirá experiencias musicales con el Israelí Idan Raichel.

Ella es una pacifista activa que combate a través de su música, las injusticias, intolerancia y desigualdades entre seres humanos, por lo que "Gift of Acceptance" -su video adelanto y primer regalo de ese próximo álbum- es todo un canto a esa convivencia, y un aperitivo que nos suaviza la espera de la publicación de un álbum que seguro hará las delicias a nuestros sentidos.


Letra
Some believe it's rigt to say Jesus when you pray,
Some believe Mahommed, Allah, or Buddah are the way.
Instead of a God or pantheon of gods up in the sky,
I'll honour your choices and you can honour mine.

Whether you are red, black, yellow, brown or white,
A man with a husband or a woman with a wife,
We can debate till the end of time who's wrong and who is right,
Or I can honour your choices and you can honour mine.

--Chorus--
We all want the same things from life,
We want peace, love and prosperity.
But can we give up our need to be right?
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.

Some believe that God's a him and some say he's a her. Does God live here in our hearts or out in the universe?
Ghandi was a Hindu, Martin Luther King a Christian, Regardless of religion they knew love was the mission.

--Chorus--

We all want the same things from life,
We want peace, love and prosperity.
But can we give up our need to be right?
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.

We can debate to the end of time who's wrong and who is right,
Or I can honour your choices and you can honour mine.
They call you Israeli and they call me an American,
I look at you and I don't see a country, I just see my friend,
I pray we're in each other's lives for a long, long time Because I honour your choices and you honour mine.

--Chorus--
We all want the same things from life,
We want peace, love and prosperity.
But can we give up our need to be right?
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.
Give the world a present, give the gift of your acceptance.
