Corría el año 1995 y una tal Joan Osborne, cantante prácticamente desconocida de country, editaba su primer álbum con una compañía mediana tirando a grande. Como single de presentación una canción; "One Of Us". El éxito, aunque efímero, fue importantísimo; una canción en el Top5 de Billboard y una nominación a los premios Grammy como mejor tema del año. Joan Osborne no volvió a repetir pero nos dejó un gran tema para el recuerdo, con una gran letra que nos podría valer para un buen debate sobre quienes somos y como somos...Joan Osborne
If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with Him in all His glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?
1-And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home?
If God had a face what would it look like?
And would you want to see if, seeing meant
That you would have to believe in things like heaven
And in Jesus and the saints, and all the prophets?
(repeat 1, 1)
Back up to heaven all alone
No, nobody calling on the phone
No, just tryin' to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
And would you call it to his face?

Jo, adoro a esta mujer. Mira, precisamente ahora estoy practicando con la guitarra "Lumina", la última canción del disco, que es sencillita...
Este es uno de mis discos favoritos, lo guardo como un tesoro, porque me lo compré con mi primer sueldo, uno de los primeros cds que tuve, de hecho... Y no he dejado de escucharlo nunca. Parece que esta mujer solo tenga este hit, pero tiene un montón de temazos. Me gustan todas las de este disco, pero me quedo con la de Pensacola, es una canción de esas que consigue cambiarme el estado de ánimo cuando estoy de bajón. Y la versión del "Man in the long black coat" de Bob Dylan no tiene desperdicio (también la estoy aprendiendo a tocar, jeje).
Un besillo, Rulk. :)
