I was preparing dinner tonight (spinach salad with grilled chicken strips, feta cheese crumbles, sliced strawberries in a balsamic vinaigrette… yes, it was tasty). The TV was on and I heard this song playing, but by the time I got to the living room to see what was on, the commercial was over. I remembered the one line, “When I get older,” so I immediately googled it. Found this song, which, upon further research, I found out had been considered an unofficial anthem song during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. I don’t remember it from that time, but it could be that I was busy repeatedly playing the official anthem song, “Waka Waka.” (Don’t be surprised if that song shows up tomorrow…)
At any rate, there are multiple variations of this song, but I found this acoustic version, which I really liked. There was a sincerity to this one that I found compelling, pared down to the basics; it was pure, you might say.
