1a canzone al giorno

E Bob ci riprovò.... Dopo 30 anni dalla creazione di Bad Aid un mega gruppo con tutte le più grandi rockstar inglesi del 1984 il buon Bob Geldof ha ideato Band Aid 30 e ha reinciso la bellissima canzone "Do they know it's Christmas?" praticamente con le stesse parole di 30 anni fa. Della band che ha partecipato 30 anni fa, dalla lista dei nomi è rimasto solo Bono Vox. Il problema è che conosco solo altri due o tre dei nuovi componenti e quasi solo per sentito dire. Ci sono Chris Martin dei Colplay, Seal, Sidead O'Connor (che avrebbe avuto l'età per essere nella prima band ma mi pare non ci fosse) e i One Direction. Qualche anno fa ho messo la prima versione ma ho deciso di pubblicare anche questa. Il ricavato delle vendite della canzone andrà in beneficenza per la ricerca contro l'ebola. Buon ascolto!!

Do they know it's Christmas? (Band Aid 30)

It's Christmas time
and there's no need to be afraid
at Christmas time 
we let in light and banish shade

And in our world of plenty
we can spread a smile of joy
throw your arms around the world
at Christmas time

But say a prayer
pray for the other ones
at Christmas time
it's hard but while you're having fun

There's a world outside your window
and it's a world of dread and fear
where a kiss of love can kill you
and there's death in every tear

And the Christmas bells that ring there
are the clanging chimes of doom
well tonight we're reaching out
and touching you

No peace and joy this Christmas
to West Africa
the only hope they'll have is being alive
Where to comfort is to fear
Where to touch is to be scared
How can they know it's Christmas time at all

Here's to you
Raise a glass to everyone
And here's to them
And all their years to come
Let them know it's Christmas time after all

Feed the world
let them know it's Christmas time again

Feel the world
let them know it's Christmas time again

Heal the world
let them know it's Christmas time again

Feed the world 
let them know it's Christmas time again

Feel the world 
let them know it's Christmas time again

Heal the world 
let them know it's Christmas time again

Feed the world 
let them know it's Christmas time again

Feel the world 
let them know it's Christmas time again

Heal the world 
let them know it's Christmas time again
