classydepablo:Cote De Pablo: (sighs) Sorry. (Thinking, looking down and speaks) I lost a person who I loved a lot … and I returned to Chile to say goodbye … and her last wish was that I sung that song for her. And at that minute I couldn’ t and sang another song by my own reasons, and at that moment I swore that I would never sing that song, that song went with her. And when I got to this deal and Patricia (Riggen, director) approaches me and asks me if I could sing ‘Gracias a la Vida’ I looked at her and said, ‘No, I don’t sing that song’. Life is very wise, becausereturn to Chile for me meant a lot, return to record that story, reconnect with my people, back to my country after a long time of being outside. And a director who doesn’t know me ask me if I can sing that song, after that, somehow, I buried it, was an emotional challenge and, I had to, obviously, open a box that had been locked and buried, and good the song was sung . -- source link
