Hey guys!
Today this is another song from the Dlive Wonder, I make you discover one of my favorite Stevie Wonder'song, today it's "I Just Called To Say I Love You"
It's one of the most special song in my heart, because it had such a big impact on my life.
When I was 4 years old, that's the song that introduced me to music, to piano, and the first time I was deciphering a melody, a was transported in a world of magic .
WATCH I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU ON DLIVE
The song saved my life when I was 18
I was out of control , dealing drugs, getting caught by the police all the time , smoking/sniffing/drinking on the day of the big exams in France, I decided to miss out on my philosophy exam and never came back to school ever again.I was in total disarray...
It was a huge disappointment for my father, he didn't really know how to speak to me anymore, the only time we were seeing each other is when he had to get me out of trouble, fetching me at the police station, or trying to fix the path of destruction I was creating for myself.

I can't even imagine the frustration that he went through, and probably the despair as well.
After all of this, he still decided to surprise me with a great 18th birthday in a local pizzeria. He invited all my friends, even after all the pain that I caused, he was still there for me...
It was a Karaoke night, and my father had no clue I could sing at the time.
I took the microphone and started singing like my life was depending on it . The expression on his face was priceless.For the first time I saw pride in his eyes, and hope.
The song that I sung that night was "I just Called To Say I Love You", and after that, my father supported me every steps of the way in my musical career.
And what I mean by that, is that he became the pillar that i needed, at a time when I was drifting away.
He helped find a school in Nancy where I studied music for 2 years, and the rest is history.
Sometimes, things just happened a certain way, and it makes you or break you. This was one of those time.
I don't know where I would be today without this song, that I sung the 31st of October 2003 in a little pizzeria...
As usual I leave you with the lyrics
WATCH I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU ON DLIVE
No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring, no song to sing
In fact here's just another ordinary day
No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
WATCH I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU ON DLIVE
No summer's high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Can we sing it one more time please
WATCH I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU ON DLIVE
I just called to say I love you (I just called to say, I just called to say I love you)
I just called to say how much I care, I do (I just called to say, I just called to say I do)
I just called to say I love you (I just called to say, I just called to say I love you)
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart, I love you form the bottom of my heart
