Kein junger Mann mehr, der Neil Diamond, aber die Stimme ist noch so kräftig wie damals, als meine (und seine) Haare noch lang waren. Anfang Mai erscheint sein neues Album Home Before Dark - und ab heute für sechs Tage kann man ein extra für Amazon.com gefilmtes Video ansehen und anhören: Pretty Amazing Grace.(Vermutlich wird das Video aber in absehbarer Zeit auch bei Youtube landen, die Leute klauen ja heutzutage alles...)
Der Text dazu:
Pretty amazing grace is what you showed meMir gefällt es. Sehr gut sogar. Weiter so, Neil!
Pretty amazing grace is who you are
I was an empty vessel
You filled me up inside
And with amazing grace
Restored my pride.
Pretty amazing grace is how you saved me
And with amazing grace, reclaimed my heart
Love in the midst of chaos
Calm in the heat of war
Showed with amazing grace
What love is for.
You forgave my insensitivity
And my attempt to let it mislead you
You stood beside a wretch like me
And pretty amazing grace was all I needed.
Stumbled inside the doorway of your chapel
Humbled and awed by everything I found
Duty and love surround me
Freed me from what I fear
Ask for amazing grace
And you a appear.
You overcame my loss of hope and faith
Gave me a truth I could believe in
You led me to a higher place
Showed me amazing grace
When grace was what I needed.
Look in a mirror I see your reflection
Open a book you live on every page
I fall and you're there to lift me
You share every road I climb
And with amazing grace
You ease my mind.
I came to you with empty pockets first
When I returned I was a rich man
Didn't believe love could quench my thirst
But with amazing grace, you showed me it can.
In your amazing grace I had a vision
From that amazing place, I came to be
Into the night I wandered, wandering aimlessly
Found your amazing grace to comfort me.
Pretty amazing
Pretty amazing
Pretty amazing
Pretty amazing
Pretty amazing
Pretty amazing
Pretty amazing
Pretty amazing
You overcame my loss of hope and faith
Gave me a truth I could believe in
You led me to that higher place
Showed me that love, truth, hope, grace
Were all I needed.
