A bit similar to “Another World“, a video I mentioned last month, this musical one is short and cheerful: “Waves“.
Make us as waves of one sea …
Addendum: The composer of this song is Elika Mahony, and another version of it is here. Both versions are valid, I’m not sure what their publishing arrangement is.
I was listening to a podcast where she is interviewed, and when asked where she’s from she says “I was born in the US, raised in Kenya, and my parents are from Iran … I’ve lived in China for the last 20 years …”
What this brings to mind is just how many of the generation after mine have biographies like that, a mix of cultures and places listed as a normal path, nothing special.
With a little effort I could cite other stories like that among people I follow online and those in our local community. One of my wife’s acquaintances speaks 7 languages and helps her communicate with African immigrants who don’t speak much English, but whose second language is often French (there’s a reason for the phrase lingua franca).
Some of this generation are actually experiencing, if imperfectly, that “The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens,” and it’s great!
