I don't know if there will be any real Inauguration festivities in the year of covid, but I desperately want this to be one of the songs (along with Black Pumas' "Colors" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0G383538qzQ.html ) during any event when Joe and Kamala take the the office. #MadamVicePresident
I have a voice Started out a whisper, turned into a scream Made a beautiful noise Shoulder to shoulder, marching in the street When you're all alone, it's a quiet breeze But when you band together, it's a choir Of thunder and rain Now we have a choice 'Cause I have a voice I'm not living to die Don't stand in a wasteland Look at me in the eye Stop living a lie And stand up next to me You've got to put one foot in front of another With a hand in a hand holding on to each other Go on and rejoicе 'Cause you have a voice It is loud, it is clеar It's stronger than your fear It's believing you belong It's calling out the wrong From the silence of my sisters To the violence of my brother We can, we can rage Against the river Feel the pain of another I have a voice I have a voice And I let it speak for the ones who aren't yet running free It's killing me No one's saying what we need to hear I will not let silence win When I see all the pain our people are in There's no other choice 'Cause I have a voice It is loud, it is clear It's stronger than your fear It's believing you belong It's for calling out the wrong From the mouths of our mothers To the lips of our daughters We can, we can dream Like our brothers speaking loud like our fathers We can, we can heal Can you hear us? Can you hear us now? I have a voice Started out a whisper, turned into a scream Made a beautiful noise Shoulder to shoulder, marching in the street When you're all alone, it's a quiet breeze When you're all alone, it's a quiet breeze But when you band together, it's a choir Of thunder and rain Now we have a choice 'Cause I have a voice Now we have a choice 'Cause I have a voice Now we have a choice 'Cause I have a voice
I toured with Brandi Carlile before anyone knew her. She was so kind. I knew she was going to be big! I've been part of the AK fam since day one...so glad they did this!
I must live in a cave, just heard this song for the first time on Ellen. I had to send it to my daughter immediately. Simply beautiful lyrics and voices make it one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Thank you for sharing your talents to encourage us all that we have a voice.
What a soul-healing message from two of the most talented, beautiful people in the music industry today. Thank you for this collaboration we all need more than we realize.
This is a beautiful articulation of what women must pass on to the younger generation. We have a voice. For me personally, I think the hope of this world lies in women who understand this simple message and not those who endorse the patriarchy.
This has to be the number one song of the year. I love this song, the combination of singers, the color switch of pianos, the clothes. AWESOME! I listen everyday.
Umm. Yeah, so... I have the feels for Brandi Carlile. They get stronger err time I hear her sing and see that look she gives whomever she’s singing with - it’s omg 😳
When Brandi comes in I get transfixed. Her part in this song is impeccable. Alicia’s passion in her words gives me chills. The beautiful message brings tears to my eyes. Language was invented to hide the truth. However, using our voices we can begin to speak our power and truth. Especially women who have been silenced for too long in this world. Thank you for this beautiful song! 💛
Great comment and agree...except the part that “language was invented to hide the truth” Where did you get that from? Language came out of necessity for clarity. It was after its development that it became nuanced enough to be deceitful.
@@Alphacentauri819 Language is used all the time by people to try to enforce 'views' onto others, aided by other tools of assertion and persuasion, and I find it almost always never clarifies anything, rather it degrades and messes up things. I can only imagine a silent society to be stronger, much more peaceful and healthy.
@@mariec7092 that may be your opinion. When cognitive distortions, biases, warped interpretations, defense mechanisms, subconscious programming/conditioning are at play...and people have fear of conflict, and subsequently poor conflict management...then yes, much conflict (which was postured to be avoided) is amplified. However, stonewalling, is lack of saying anything...and has been shown (Dr Gottman's research) to be very destructive. Many people aren't taught how to use language well, for the greater good, how to come to common understanding/ground. Language is evolutionary, not only onto itself, but as a result of our species evolution. It did allow for greater cooperation for civilizations. Unfortunately it also allowed for destruction. Language isn't as much of an issue as the root issues that drive improper use. I used to work critical care and am now researching neuroscience (after 30 years of psychology study) and could write a thesis on this. Just inquire, get curious, dig deep to why/how you believe as you do, what happened in your formative years to influence your lenses, how confirmation bias plays a role, and how can you develop more metacognition and introspection regarding the subject. Play devils advocate and debate all sides, especially the ones you don't necessarily agree with. That zooming out, can help us develop a more balanced view and be less entrenched in our beliefs (which are often unquestioned conditioned repeated thoughts, on autopilot). I don't support absolute statements like "language was invented to hide the truth"...especially not when I understand where in the brain language, emotion, and so on is centered, evolved from and a the deep human desire to connect....as you see when a baby and mother are engaging in "language"....this is far from hiding truth, but an expression of connection.
You named it perfectly on their vocals! Brandi's voice coming in absolutely gets my attention and has me listening, and you can FEEL the passion & truth in Alicia singing.
Bless you two beautiful hearts. This song holds us tenderly, lifts us up all strong and high and powerfully. This is the true voice of us in 2020. May we continue to be blessed with these sweet & steady reminders, and may we together BE and BRING the mightiest forceful wave of change. Endless love to my brothers & sisters. x
This song was meant for this time. I gather it has a lot to do with LGBTQ and acceptance etc, but for me it's all about RIGHT NOW. Standing together during this world wide assault on all our freedoms. I cried listening to this. We will net be silent. We must stand together. God bless America.
I had to look for this song after I watched the movie twice. I losted my husband 2011, my Daddy in 2012 and my oldest son was murdered in 2017. This song and this movie speaks very well on grief . Each time I watch it I see and learn something new. Mental health is so real
Seems Brandi is living the words of this song. I personally knew very little about Brandi other than she was a young lesbian country singer. I never really heard her sing, but I think Good 4 Her!!! Go get em girl!!! Shake country music up a Lil. Now ever since Naomi Judds unexpected death I see her everywhere with Wynonna, and I want 2 say Thank U!!! U have been a strong solid framily 4 Wy, and so thank U!!! This has been so very hard 4 her & U have been a Pulliam Luke no other!!! Your wife is a very Lucky women 2 have U!!! Talk about No Fear!!! Lady You've come in like a wrecking ball in the last year!!! If people don't know U, they gonna know U!!!! U r everywhere & doing Great things!!!! I Love it!!!! U r Beautiful!!!! A beautiful, wise soul!!!! Keeping it Real!!!! Sending U & yours an Abundance of Love & Prayer!!!! 💜💜💜
I have never heard of Brandi Carlile but after hearing only part of this song towards the end, I went to find who she is! What a beautiful song and beautiful voices. Alicia Key is always one of my favorites already-full of grace, true beauty. I can’t wait to listen to all of Brandi’s songs- she has a new fan!
These are my two favorite female singers out of three, the third being Regina Spektor. I haven't gotten enough of them and out of left field these two different worlds collide...Beautiful Song!
THIS to me is so powerful. When all is said and done, it is not the multiple tracks, the multiple synthesizers, and the auto-tune voice in always metrical 4/4 time signature, but rather, the heart of the song, what it means. This song carries so much. It says a lot without having to be bogged down by so many other tracks. This is clean, simple, melodic, and has great harmony that goes beyond the I and V chords. I am going to school for a Masters Degree in Music for Film and Television. One of my instructors has said to us, "Think deeply. Write simply." I don't mind a lot of pop songs with heavy use of auto-tune and multiple computer programs, it's good, but sometimes it's too much. What is the essence of the message?
So happy that this masterpiece is nominated for Grammy Song of the year!. At last Grammys nominated great music and not the best selling songs like others song been nominated...
I haven't been able to listen to this song without breaking into tears!! It's beautifully arranged & sang, but its the raw truth of the lyrics and the pain you can hear in their voices over other people suffering is what's truly beautiful!
We playing all your song uptown in Harlem..all the songs is Fire..and the one I have a voice..thats a hit..we love it in Harlem..thats right Alicia Rep...New York..u very talented..its crazy..u stay shinning Alicia and I love it..u winning..so u know hate come with that..U Humble and the world 🌎 love u..U a ICON..i guess its in your DNA..its a New York thing..He'll kitchen stand Up...Love u Mrs..Keys Dean..Lol..this Emanuel from Harlem N.Y.w.121 & Lenox..the Album is 🔥 🔥 Fire..
Two of my most favorite singer songwriters. This made my mind and my heart explode! And the Way Brandi looks a Alice, the admiration is so palpable ❤️.
This is song is all the words I can't speak to my 2 best friends who both voted for Trump. They love me and my 4 year old. I'm really struggling with them. They see me as the one in the wrong. I feel so alone and don't want to take these women from my daughter but I would never want them to raise her with their beliefs. They view me as hostile, I view them as woefully ignorant. This song gave me back a strength they tried to strip from me today.
I'm subscribed to Alicias channel and awoke at 7:30am to a notification for this song - what a great way to start my day. Its now 9:30am and I'm still listening to Brandi as I hadn't heard of her before. Thanks for the introduction Alicia. Now to actually start my day with love in my heart and peace in my mind.
I love how Brandi looks impressed in front of Queen Alicia, one of the best singer alive 👑 true music lovers knows she's got rythm she's got harmony and most of all she's got heart.
Okay. I have never heard of Brandi Carlile's music before. But I just got chills *all* over my body from her voice.............My GOD she sounds beautiful.
Wow. The eye contact and feels and smiles between these two musical giants are to die for. This incredible song featuring voices and pianos and lyrics is utterly gorgeous and inspiring- yes, to perfection. Did I mention cinematography and cultural symbolism on point as well? This is a true 2020 treat!
