Martyn Joseph komt naar Ingelmunster

Waarschijnlijk hoorde ik Martyn Joseph zowat in een vorig leven op Flevo. Dan eigenlijk uit het oog verloren. Maar kijk, deze muzikant is nog altijd on the road.
Lees in Het Nieuwsblad over zijn komende optreden in Ingelmunster.

Dit is de website van Martyn Joseph.
Daarop lees je onder meer wie hij is. 2 korte fragmenten uit MartynJoseph+ op zijn site:

"At first glance Martyn Joseph is (just) another gifted singer songwriter. First impressions are there to mislead of course: Joseph's ambition is broader than entertainment, deeper than commerce. Some musicians want to move your feet, some just want to move you: Martyn Joseph wants to move heaven and earth."
(...)
"The consistency is the voice the place where he stands, from where he chooses to look at life. This is music that articulates a yearning for another world that is yet to be born, songs of sorrow acquainted with grief but, nevertheless, melodies carried in sunlight, thunder and rainbows from the same sky."

Hieronder nog 2 video's van zijn liedjes en de lyrics van een andere song. Flink wat meer van zijn teksten vind je achter deze link.

He Never Said

He never said God helps those who help themselves
He never said Blessed are the rich
He never said Do unto others before they do it unto you
He never said Its too bad buddy the winner has to take it all
He never said success is the key
You gotta be cruel to be kind
And he never said it’s a jungle out there
Where the weak must get left behind

He Said..
Answer a strangers cry for help
Love your brother as you loved yourself
You only have to seek and you will find
Forgive your enemies drop that grudge
Don’t judge others and you won’t be judged
Only knock and the door will open wide, open wide

He never said Archbishops should stick to theology
He never said put your faith in the lottery
He never said by any means necessary
He never said my country right or wrong
He never said send your money to me
Touch the screen and your gonna be healed
He never said every man's got a price
Do you want to make a deal?

Answer a strangers cry for help
Love your brother as you loved yourself
You only have to seek and you will find
Forgive your enemies drop that grudge
Don’t judge others and you won’t be judged
Only knock and the door will open wide, open wide

And on that day a day that's coming
Who’s gonna be walking who’s gonna be running
The first will be the last and the last will come first
If the meek inherit the earth

Answer a strangers cry for help
Love your brother as you loved yourself … etc
