Joan Osborne, a pesar de ese apellido tan español, es estadounidense. Apenas si grabó dos trabajos y creó una discográfica independiente, Womanly Hips. Sin embargo, su voz es tan personal que One of us -perteneciente al álbum Relish, 1995- se cuela a menudo en mi mente. Por ella consiguió el Grammy ese mismo año. Fue escrita por Eric Bazilian.
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
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
Trying 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
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
Trying to make his way home
He's trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome
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
Trying to make his way home
Just trying to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome

Conocía la canción a base de escucharla, de encontrarla en momentos y situaciones insospechadas, pero no la hubiera relacionado jamás con la artista. Así que gracias por enseñarme en el día de hoy y por aportarme datos. Está claro que en cultura musical me ganas. Je, je, je.
Un beso muy fuerte y muy bonito el video por cierto.
Escucho de nuevo tu gramola en honor de España. Je, je, je. Un beso fuerte, amiga.
