from my daughter's church choir

 

刚去参加了小女儿苏珊的TRINITY教堂合唱会。

最后一首歌的旋律在脑子里不停（i wonder...why  not...shine on me...）

 

以前听过多次教堂合唱，而今天并不是教堂的节目。

County 里今天九所小学联合活动，给周末添点气氛。

苏珊说练习了五个星期，唱诗班学生今天才凑在一起。

一下午的组合排练，傍晚就给家长展示。

 

当一百个十岁左右的孩子发同个音调的时候，那种和谐的美无法形容。

如果一个孩子声音在背景中还能让你听到杂音，当一百个这样的嗓音混叠一起时，所有的噪声，背景中或背景外的，都被一种谐音覆盖掉了。

　

你听到一种纯洁中的纯洁。

 

幕间我用手机写下感，想起这段假期时间追求的宁静，终于在一次为小女儿开车中兑现。

 

“追求一种完美时，常因达不到的境界而放弃；

　有人却不懈努力，为创造或再现完美继续发掘。

　即使很难坚持，艺术家

他们的眼睛和耳朵也没放过这样的瞬间。”

 

中文打字慢，我改写英文：

 

“…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.”

 

纪录了另两首歌的两段歌词：

 

“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”
