When I am down and ohmy soul so weary, when troubles come my heart burdens me…我们有谁,没有这样心力交瘁的时刻?我们有谁,没有经历过人生的黑暗和痛苦?黑暗和痛苦中,有人放弃生命,有人失去理智,有人去伤害别人伤害自己,更多的凡人,则是渐渐放弃对上苍的希望,渐渐放弃心中燃烧的火焰,渐渐失去对生命的感受力和爱。
一曲You Raise Me Up,唱出了人性的光辉,也让我们每个人看到自己灵魂中最深刻最美丽的地方。

You Raise Me Up是一首经常在教堂演唱的歌曲,从歌词中也能感受到一种信仰的力量。音乐响起,悠扬婉转的哨笛,不知为何,我眼前浮现了泰坦尼克号的电影的景象。时常感觉人生就像海上漂泊的一艘船,风平浪静时固然可以无忧无虑地欣赏美景,可是当暴风雨来临的时候,每个人内心深处却是恐惧和无助的。人生中的坎坷无处不在,学习、工作、感情上的不顺利或是身体上的不适,都会让人心灰意冷。到现在我还记得当年离开家人和朋友,一个人漂洋过海来到这陌生的土地,内心的忐忑不安。而这样的感觉对淳元来说,应该不会陌生吧。当心爱的女友离开他的时候,当经济上出现困境的时候,他又是依靠着怎样的力量度过的呢?
无论如何,我是喜欢TheOne版本的“You Raise Me Up”,真的让人的心随着他的歌声律动,真的从中得到生命的力量,我歌是比唱功比改编的,对我来说这是首成功的作品。

Everyone will go through issues in life. What cannot kill you, willonly make you stronger. Though it’s easier said than done, I strongly recommendthose who are having problems, to take a break and listen to this. Maybe itwould help you like it did to me. The start of 2015 was definitely a rocky one.
With The One’s positive vibe and attitude, through his motivationalpower and expression in the song, I can truly feel that he appreciates thosethat were there for him, spiritually, mentally, and physically, a trulyinspiring version of the song, really gives me the feeling that no matter howhard things are, there will always be something that we can rely on. It remindsme that regardless of the situation, my family and friends will always be therefor support. God, will always be there by my side. I may not be alone, but Ican be strong because I am not alone.
I believe that things happen for a reason. They shape who we are asa person, which also makes me wonder. If it was ten years ago, would he be ableto tell me the same message? Would he still be the same person? I guess itreally doesn’t matter now.
And for those who can’t past the pronunciation of his English, Ifeel bad for you, as you will never be able to enjoy such as inspiring andbeautiful piece of music. I hope you can still cherish those who are aroundyou, raising you up.
