One Voice, Ruth Moody/ Wailin’ Jennys, 2004
arrangement by Natasha Rose Douglas
One Voice has become a signature song for The Wailin’ Jennys. “One Voice” is a song about
peace and unification. Moody found inspiration after participating in a large jam session with
other folk performers at a camping site. The intimate moments shared amongst the group left
an impact on Moody, ‘I think the thought just really hit me: If only the world could be more
like this and that the power of music could bring people together’.
One Voice" ist zum Markenzeichen von The Wailin' Jennys geworden. "One Voice" ist ein
Lied über Frieden und Vereinigung. Moody fand die Inspiration, nachdem er an einer großen
Jamsession mit anderen Folkmusikern auf einem Campingplatz teilgenommen hatte. Die
intimen Momente, die die Gruppe miteinander teilte, hinterließen bei Moody einen
bleibenden Eindruck: "Ich glaube, der Gedanke hat mich einfach getroffen: Wenn die Welt
nur mehr so sein könnte und die Kraft der Musik die Menschen zusammenbringen könnte".
This is the sound of one voice
One spirit, one voice
The sound of one who makes a choice
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of voices two
The sound of me singing with you
Helping each other to make it through
This is the sound of voices two
This is the sound of voices two
This is the sound of voices three
Singing together in harmony
Surrendering to the mystery
This is the sound of voices three
This is the sound of voices three
This is the sound of all of us
Singing with love and the will to trust
Leave the rest behind, it will turn to dust
This is the sound of all of us
This is the sound of all of us
This is the sound of one voice
One people, one voice
A song for every one of us
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of one voice
