Le chanteur américain Will.i.am, membre fondateur du groupe Black Eyed Peas a décidé de créer une chanson en s'inspirant d'un discours que Barack Obama avait prononcé après les primaires du New Hampshire le 8 janvier dernier. Will.i.am a intitulé cette chanson "Yes We Can", slogan que le candidat avait utilisé pour ce discours.
Ce clip a été réalise par Jesse Dylan fils du célèbre Bob Dylan. On y retrouve de nombreuses personnalités comme l'actrice Scarlett Johansson, Nicole Scherzinger la chanteuse des Pussycats Dolls, le chanteur John Legend,
Kate Walsh de Grey's Anatomy, Kareem Abdul Jabbar ancien basketeur, Adam Rodriguez des Experts Miami, Harold Perrineau de Lost... et bien d'autres !
Je trouve ce clip éfficace, et rempli d'émotions... Il ne reste plus qu'à Obama de casser la Barack (je sais elle est facile...).
Les paroles du clip dans la suite de l'article.
It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.
Yes we can.
It
was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and
pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can.
It
was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the
ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King
who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
Yes we can.
We
know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter
what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the
power of millions of voices calling for change.
We have been
told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow
louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a
reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this
nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
Now
the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon
are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA;
we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we
are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we
are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in
the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast;
from sea to shining sea --
