許久不曾發新文章了！
昨天晚上在Youtube看保羅帕茲的影片時，點進了一個以前看過，卻一直沒有點閱的影片，名稱為「十歲的小男孩震驚全球」。
他唱的歌是一首反戰的公益歌曲〈Tell me why〉。
歌詞以孩童的角度來觀看世界，藉由孩童好奇心旺盛的特點，不斷地對地球上的我們所作的一切提出疑問，隨著愈加高漲的情緒，一步步質問甚而反問自身「生而為人應該做些什麼（what will I have to do to be a man ）」。
這樣的歌曲藉由一個十歲的小男孩Declan Galbraith來詮釋，感覺更加貼切，也讓人有更深的體悟與沉重的無奈。
a song of love for every boy and girl
The sky is blue and fields are green
and laughter is the language of the world
Than I wake and all I see is a world full of people in need
[Chorus]
Tell me why(why)
does it have to be like this?
Tell me why(why)
is there something I have missed?
Tell me why(why)
cos' I don't understand
when so many need somebody
we don't give a helping hand
Tell me why?
Every day
I ask myself
what will I have to do to be a man
Do I have to stand and fight,
to prove to everybody who I am?
Is that what my life is far
to waste in a world full of war?
[Chorus]
Tell me why(why)
does it have to be like this?
Tell me why(why)
is there something I have missed?
Tell me why(why)
'cos I don't understand
when so many need somebody
we don't give a helping hand
Tell me why (Tell me why)?
Tell me why (Tell me why)?
Tell me why (Tell me why)?
Just tell me why!
[Chorus]
Tell me why(why),
does it have to be like this?
Tell me why(why)
is there something I have missed
Tell me why(why)
'cos I don't understand,
when so many need somebody,
we don't give a helping hand.
Tell me why?
(Why,why,does the tiger run)
Tell me why?
(Why,why,do we shoot the gun)
Tell me why?
(Why,why,do we never learn)
Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn?
(Why,why,do we say we care)
Tell me why?
(Why,why,do we stand and stare)
Tell me why?
(Why,why,do the dolphins cry)
Can someone tell us why we let the ocean die?
(Why,why,if we're all the same)
Tell me why?
(why,why do we pass the blame)
Tell me why?
(Why,why,does it never end)
Can someone tell us why we cannot just be friends?
Why,why,(do we close our eyes)
Why,why,(do the greedy life)
Why,why,(do we fight for land)
Can someone tell us why 'cos we don't understand?

聽完了很感動!!!
撇開小歌星的唱功了得這事不談,
那一聲聲"tell me why"著實讓人心碎......
戰場裡的小孩何其無辜,
因為大人們的利益糾紛,
連累的是許許多多不相干的人們。
我們都應該反省,
這樣做到底要追求是甚麼?
2樓. 秤子♂2008/10/20 17:45是真得＠＠
這個我有看過～～年紀小
可是唱歌來的卻非常有感情！
很好聽！
還有這位小孩他老爸是有計畫從小栽培他要成明星的
⊙＿⊙
有人用文字~記錄自己生活點點滴滴！
有人用相片~記錄自己旅遊過的美景！
我則是用歌~記錄自己人生旅程心境！
1樓. 白淺2008/10/19 00:45真的只有十歲嗎？
真是好令人震驚呀！
看來稚嫩……卻成熟……
回頭看看電視上，
我們的小孩……唱的卻是極端不搭調的情歌，
真是無言啊！！
別害怕孤獨，
一個人的孤獨，
遠遠勝過 ~ 兩個人的寂寞是啊 ！不台灣的小孩只會 Da！Da！Da！ 如月 夢真齋 於 2008/10/19 15:07回覆
