“From a distance we are instruments
Marching in a common band”
From a Distance (1985)
Contexte: From a distance we are instruments
Marching in a common band
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace
They're the songs of every man.
Asked what she might be if she were not a musician, in an interview with Angela Page on Folk Plus WJFF Radio (24 June 2000) http://www.wjffradio.org/FolkPlus/interviews/Gold.html
Contexte: I've never had any other loving heartfelt desire. From the minute I heard music I knew why I was born. To make music to play to listen to music, and for some reason I have been lucky enough to llive this beautiful life as a musicisan. I don't know. I love all things "nature". I'm an animal lover, but I don't have the smarts to be a vet, or the heart to have been a vet cause I cry over any wounded animal. … I might have been maybe a zoo keeper helping feed the animals. Feeding or petting the big cats or whatever. I don't know what else I would have done, because I love music too much. For anyone who has that calling and is trying also to make a living at it, it is really hard. Getting gigs and getting listened to. Getting respect, it's hard. Its what bonds us all because we have been so rejected and dejected. Yet we know in our hearts why we are here.
“And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man
(Every man).”
From a Distance (1985)
Contexte: From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man
(Every man). It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
This is the song of every man.
“From a distance I just cannot comprehend
What all this war is for.”
Bette Middler's version alters the last line of this stanza to "What all this fighting is for."
From a Distance (1985)
Contexte: From a distance you look like my friend
Even though we are at war
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
What all this war is for.
