from my daughter's church choir

 

剛去參加了小女兒蘇珊的TRINITY教堂合唱會。

最後一首歌的旋律在腦子裡不停（i wonder...why  not...shine on me...）

 

以前聽過多次教堂合唱，而今天並不是教堂的節目。

County 里今天九所小學聯合活動，給周末添點氣氛。

蘇珊說練習了五個星期，唱詩班學生今天才湊在一起。

一下午的組合排練，傍晚就給家長展示。

 

當一百個十歲左右的孩子發同個音調的時候，那種和諧的美無法形容。

如果一個孩子聲音在背景中還能讓你聽到雜音，當一百個這樣的嗓音混疊一起時，所有的噪聲，背景中或背景外的，都被一種諧音覆蓋掉了。

　

你聽到一種純潔中的純潔。

 

幕間我用手機寫下感，想起這段假期時間追求的寧靜，終於在一次為小女兒開車中兌現。

 

“追求一種完美時，常因達不到的境界而放棄；

　有人卻不懈努力，為創造或再現完美繼續發掘。

　即使很難堅持，藝術家

他們的眼睛和耳朵也沒放過這樣的瞬間。”

 

中文打字慢，我改寫英文：

 

“…i've heard many versions of the gospel song named 'shine on me', but truly did i never believe that light related to me. i always think there're too much noises out there in a black and white background; but again the purity hit me;  the purity of the voices those kids delivered moved my soul and body; they averaged out all chaos.  i was touched. i just wanna thank, thank the purity of a pure tone that I will never forget.”

 

紀錄了另兩首歌的兩段歌詞：

 

“bubble gum in my hair

bubble gum in my hair

sticky, sticky everywhere

it's a mess

and i confess

i just don't know

who put it there

 

the full moon's on the window

when your mother said

remember these days

don't talk to strangers on the net

cos' many lunatics out there”
