8 musiciens, 5 instruments, 4 continents, 3 langues différentes et 1 chanson. Tel est le projet de Dumb Found Dead. Réunir virtuellement ces 8 musiciens pour qu’ils chantent ensemble une chanson universelle. Un projet qui n’est pas sans rappeler celui de Playing for Change, mais à une échelle plus modeste. J’ai trouvé cette vidéo bien sympa, même si la batterie n’est pas toujours en rythme et si celui qui chante en espagnol me fatigue un peu. Beau travail.

8 people with 5 instruments from 4 Continents speaking 3 languages for 1 song. They put together a virtual « jam session » with musicians from all over the world! Music was inspired by Galt MacDermot’s amazing « Coffee Cold ». Handsome Boy Modeling School (Prince Paul and Dan the Automator ) flipped that song with J-Live and Roisin Murphy from Moloko and called it « The Truth ».

Lyrics/Paroles

Dumbfoundead

A kid at the pawn shop just bought his first drum machine,

From the slums, but them buttons will take him to another kingdom

A woman humming in a kitchen in brazil, while 50 tenants listen by

sticking their heads outside the window sill, this shit is real, hear

the sounds across the land, no name brands, woman and man jam on pots

and pans, a musician with lost dreams, sitting on concrete, playing

his heart out on missing guitar strings, street performers for a

quarter put on the show of there life, an emcee gets put on the spot

rocks it and tears up the mic, the human instrument, reaching

continents in long distances, no need for sophisticated systems for us

to listen in, countries at war, expressing hate through there

aggression. while two musicians on each side are having a jam session,

whether both em know it or not, they are collaborating. You never know

which way your music is navigating,

Esna

Sing your heart out let your soul be heard

Move to the rhythm to the groove of the drum beats

Chill to the lines disappear to the moment

Fly away persuade all the madness

Just bounce just sway just listen

La música es un sonido supersónico

y es por eso que no creo lo que leo en el periódico

presenta un mundo dividido y tóxico

pero ahora por los cables fiberópticos

yo me comunico, así el mundo se pone chico

si no me entiendes yo te lo explico

whether you in the Bronx and you like to spit bars and rock clubs

or Mumbai playin sitars and tablas

the music is a way we escape, heal and grow

and you aint gotta speak the language if you wanna feel the flow

olha só rapaz, a gente vai a gente vem

mas o ritmo é coisa todo mundo sempre tem

tudo bem, faço música com colaboradores globais

utilizando piano voces tambores e mais

es un laso que nos une hasta el infinito

the rhythms in us it travels wherever we go

Esna

Just let the music take you let your mind take you

Way to find a way to need a way to a brighter day

Don’t let it stop in you don’t let it die in you

Breath just breath

Just fly away persuade all the madness

Just bounce just sway just listen

Dumbfoundead

Across the seas I hear piano keys playin, translating languages

through the rhythms in beats bangin, a universal exchange, of personal

pains and joys, it started with a verse, each person just came and

joined in, some are complete strangers, some only teenagers, all of us

creators, , we are the dreammakers, internationally transmittin

through bandwidth, passin this bands passion so the masses can jam

with us, all are invited to play, none are required to pay, let the

virus spread, inspire heads, go pirate away, this is that free music,

for people who need music, just listen and breathe to it, I hope that

you feel movement, different souls around globe, connected through

sound makin, they set the foundation now we take it to groundbreakin,

everybody played there part and now we have one song, and this is how

an unheard voice becomes strong

Esna

Sing your heart out let your soul be heard

Move to the rhythm to the groove of the drum beats

Chill to the lines disappear to the moment

Fly away persuade all the madness

Just bounce just sway just listen
