写我自己，关于 Declan 。
                               

      其实不是写我自己啦。我的名字是取自一个名叫Declan Galbraith的小男孩。

      Declan Galbraith是居住在英国肯特郡的爱尔兰男孩，在许多方面他是一个普通的 10 岁的男孩（今年大概有14岁了），喜欢电脑游戏，游泳和足球。他和他的父母和六岁妹妹住，堂兄弟姊妹是他最好的朋友。

      但是 Declan 不只是一个普通的10岁男孩。小时候，Declan Galbraith和他的祖父度过。 祖父是音乐家。 和爱尔兰的民谣乐团演奏传统的爱尔兰音乐，他们到处在酒吧和俱乐部等地方演唱，Declan 与祖父乐团搭配并学习演唱。在他的祖父去逝之后,他继承了祖父的演唱事业。 

      刚刚在baidu下载了他的访问视频，看到了他的一些歌——比如《Tell me Why》、《Amazing Grace》——的MTV，看着这个漂亮的小男孩天真的脸庞，我感动得热泪都盈眶了。虽然他的所有的歌我都已经听过很多遍了，但是这一次听他的《Tell Me Why》我却有抑制不住的感动。

      我完全被他天籁般的声音征服了。

在黑暗中穿行的高亢而又凄迷的童声！

第一首歌：Tell Me Why
        一个男孩对成人世界的疑问。



第二首歌：Danny Boy
      这是我听到的Declan的第一首歌，也是我最爱的一首，这是一首很老的歌了，但是Declan把歌曲中表达的忧伤与辽远演绎的完美无瑕 ，随着忧郁的童声，想象着歌词中的山谷、遍野的鲜花、凄美的坟墓、风吹过原野，没有哪首歌哪个歌手能把爱情描写得如此忧伤了。
 
Danny Boy

Oh Danny Boy,
The pipes, the pipes are calling.
From Glenn to Glenn
And down the mountain side.
The summer's gone
And all the flowers are dying.
'Tis you, 'tis you must go
And I must bide.

But come ye back
When summer's in the meadow.
Or when the valley's hushed
And white with snow.
'Tis I'll be here
In Sunshine or in Shadow
Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy
I love you so.

But if  you come 
When all the flowers're dying.
If I am dead
As dead I long may be.
I pray you'll find
The place where I am lying.
You kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
And I will hear
The soft you tread above me
And then my grave
Will warm and sweeter be.
For you shall bend and tell me
That you love me
And I will sleep in peace
Until you come to me.

      

第三首歌：Imagine
      这也是一首Declan翻唱的老歌，这首歌在雅典奥运会开幕式上演唱过，个人认为当时演唱的那个人不如Declan的歌声更能感染人。这首歌本来就适合在奥运会那样的场合演唱，呼吁人类把地球建设成为人类共同的家园，在那样的时刻——当全球的人们都感受到人类是一个整体的时刻——这样的美好愿望甚至让人感动（你别笑话我这么容易感动）。如果你用心去感受歌词，以一定会受到感召感受到震撼！

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky.
Imagine all the people,
Living for today.
Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
And no religion too.
Imagine all the people,
Living life in peace yu-huh.

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the people,
Sharing all the world yu-huh. 

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one. 



第四首歌：Auld Lang Syne 
      《友谊地久天长》人人都听过，但是Declan的这个版本充分显示了他的天赋：Declan对节奏的超强把握，使得歌曲中的几个节奏变化都显得那么自然，配乐伴唱完全由Declan的声音引领，让人叹服。



第五首歌：Amazing Grace
      这首歌也是老歌翻唱。在电影《大鱼》中，人们在做礼拜的时候就唱这首《Amazing Grace》，但是Declan的富于穿透力声音将一个迷途知返的羔羊的心声唱的如泣如诉。

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I'm found,
Was blind but now I see.

T'was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fear relieved
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home.

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun;
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun.




如果天使会唱歌，那么他一定是——
Declan Galbraith!
