"La voix" ("The voice") is a song by Swedish singer Malena Ernman, and was the Swedish entry at the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest, held in Moscow, Russia. It was composed by Fredrik Kempe, with lyrics by both Kempe and Ernman. It is the first Swedish entry to contain lyrics in French.
The song was the winner of Melodifestivalen 2009 on 14 March 2009, and competed for Sweden in the first semi-final of Eurovision 2009 on 12 May 2009. The song qualified for the final round where it finished 21st place with 33 points, making it Sweden's second lowest placing in the Contest since 1992's "I morgon är en annan dag" (#22), and also the second time the country failed to place within the Top 20.
In 2010, the song was covered by Russian pop singer Philipp Kirkorov and opera singer Anna Netrebko with Kirkorov singing verses and Netrebko singing chorus. They recorded two versions of the song, one with original French and English lyrics and other sang exclusively in Russian.
The song has also been used as the backing track for the musical documentary 'Spaceplane Sailing'. The short film covers the 33-mission career of the Space Shuttle Atlantis and was premiered on YouTube in February 2013.

Back Home may refer to:
Back Home is the fifth major album release from Caedmon's Call.
Back Home is an album by American jazz pianist Phineas Newborn, Jr. recorded in 1976 but not released on the Contemporary label until 1985.
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "the brilliant but ill pianist is reunited with the rhythm team that he had recorded with in 1969... Actually, despite his health problems, Newborn was always superlative on records, and his playing on five straight-ahead standards (including "No Moon at All" and "Love for Sale") and three of his originals is excellent".
