Song: gracias a la vida

Songwriter: violeta parra

Hi @jaynie, this is the first time I entered your contest. I hope you enjoy my choice.

It's a very beautiful song with very deep lyrics, accompanied by sad music that doesn't match the lyrics.

The day I listened to it I felt very happy but I didn't understand the sadness of its music, so I decided to investigate the author. She was a Chilean artist with a great career and fame, she traveled through several continents and this is her last song before taking her own life.

It was actually a farewell, she committed suicide, and that's why although she is grateful to live it is sad to hear her melody.

Thanks to you and to life.
