Cantante, attrice, artista tutto fare Maty J. Blige. Meravigliosa nella colonna sonora del film Netflix Mudbound
Uscita qualche giorno fa, ora che con un po’ di ritardo l’abbiamo ascoltata non potevamo fare a meno che condividere con voi questa meravigliosa ballad interpretata da Mary J. Blige per la colonna sonora di Mudbound, pellicola ambientata negli anni ’40 all’interno della quale Mary J. recita accanto a Garrett Hedlund, Carey Mulligan eRob Morgan.
Per il suo ruolo di Florence Jackson l’artista ha ricevuto numerosi elogi, tanto che molti sono convinti che riceverà numerose nominations nel corso dei prossimi mesi, in primis ai Golden Globes.
La canzone, Mighty River, è stata co-scritta assieme al Raphael Saadiq. Ecco l’audio:
Testo
Life is a teacher, time is a healer
And I’m a believer like a river wild
Ego’s a killer, greed is a monster
But love is stronger, stronger than them all
White flag in hand
I don’t want to fight
No lines in the sand, I’m on your side
Invisible, no colour life
It’s time we put our, put our, put our differences aside
Time tells no lies
It keeps changing, and ticking, and moving, then passes by
But if you’re lucky it will be kind
Like a river flowing through time
(Like a river)
Let it wash you clean
(Like a river)
Going up stream
(Like a river)
Cutting through [?]
(Like a river)
‘Cause it never gives up
(Like a river)
So full of life
(Like a river)
[?]
(Like a river)
That’ll wash away
(Like a river)
The pain from yesterday
Love is the answer, hate is a cancer
Hope of forgiveness it waters the soul
Our blood is red, we’re not so different
‘Cause underneath our skin we’re identical
White flag in hand
I’m not gonna fight
No lines in the sand, I’m on your side
Invisible, no colour life
It’s time we put our, put our differences aside
We know wrong from right
Time tells no lies
It keeps changing, and ticking, and moving, then passes by
But if you’re lucky it will be kind
Like a river flowing through time
(Like a river)
Let it wash you clean
(Like a river)
Going up stream
(Like a river)
Cutting through [?]
(Like a river)
‘Cause it never gives up
(Like a river)
So full of life
(Like a river)
[?]
(Like a river)
That’ll wash away
(Like a river)
The pain from yesterday
(Like a river)
(Mighty river)
Rain down on me
(Like a river)
All it takes is time
(Mighty river)
To heal this bloodline
(Like a river)
Better wash me clean
(Mighty river)
Get this dirt off of me
(Like a river)
(Mighty river)
Let it wash you clean
