No, no parece que fue ayer, cuando aquel pequeño llamado "Little Stevie", empezó a crear un paraiso musical que tanto nos ha hecho disfrutar. Tampoco parece que fue ayer, cuando unas obras de arte en forma de canciones, dejaron impresa su huella de por vida en mi corazón. Es mucho el tiempo que ha transcurrido, al igual que muchos los placeres sonoros con los que he disfrutado con este hombre. Las modas han ido pasando, la forma de crear e interpretar la música han ido evolucionando, las décadas y milenio han ido pasando páginas y este hombre Stevland Morris, aka Stevie Wonder, continúa ilusionándome con sus canciones y su persona.
Este 13 de mayo cumplió 59 años, límite de ese tan feo vocablo "vejez", aún así, la frescura vital y su generosidad por conseguir un mundo en paz y lleno de amor no tiene límites y continua alimentando esta nueva década apunto de comenzar, con más savia creativa de su mente fértil. Promete ser espléndida y rica en creatividad, aferrándose a una necesidad de estar en contacto con su público -como así nos lo demostró en su tour finalizado hace unos meses-. A la publicación de sus proyectos en solitario -"The Gospel Inspired By Lula" o "Through The Eyes Of Wonder"- se le suman sus proyectos ayudando al álbum debut de su hija Aisha Morris y el disco a dúo con Tonny Bennett y la producción de Quincy Jones.
Stevie Wonder hace un guiño sonriente a la historia, ella es inamovible, distante, y nos juzga con frialdad, pero la tiene ganada. El futuro es impredecible, inclemente e ilusionante, es una batalla por ganar, pero la confianza es férrea y seguirá forjando y enriqueciendo su historia, convirtiéndose, si ya no lo es, en el músico más creativo, influyente y generoso de la música.
You know it doesn't make much sense
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offense
At a day in your celebration
‘Cause we all know in our minds
That there ought to be a time
That we can set aside
To show just how much we love you
And I'm sure you would agree
It couldn't fit more perfectly
Than to have a world party on the day you came to be
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
I just never understood
How a man who died for good
Could not have a day that would
Be set aside for his recognition
Because it should never be
Just because some cannot see
The dream as clear as he
that they should make it become an illusion
And we all know everything
That he stood for time will bring
For in peace our hearts will sing
Thanks to Martin Luther King
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Why has there never been a holiday
Where peace is celebrated
all throughout the world
The time is overdue
For people like me and you
Who know the way to truth
Is love and unity to all God's children
It should never be a great event
And the whole day should be spent
In full remembrance
Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people
So let us all begin
We know that love can win
Let it out don't hold it in
Sing it loud as you can
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Ooh yeah
Happy birthday...
We know the key to unify all people
Is in the dream that you had so long ago
That lives in all of the hearts of people
That believe in unity
We'll make the dream become a reality
I know we will
Because our hearts tell us so
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offense
At a day in your celebration
‘Cause we all know in our minds
That there ought to be a time
That we can set aside
To show just how much we love you
And I'm sure you would agree
