Hayley Westenra海莉·韦斯顿--Treasure 璀璨
因为渴望那如同天籁般的纯净美声,我们寻遍七海,而海莉的歌声,已经证明自己就是那无与伦比的绝世珍藏。 来自世界最后净土-纽西兰,只要进入海莉的声韵世界,就可感受到蕴藏其中的无穷希望、温暖与关爱。
继前两张专辑《纯净》、《奇幻历险》大获成功之后,众所瞩目的第三张大碟【璀璨】,由海莉亲自引领我们进入她个人最内在与珍爱的音乐世界。远赴爱尔兰都柏林录制的本专辑,再度见证了她无懈可击的实力美声,无论是清灵飘逸的爱尔兰之风,唯美浪漫的古典咏叹调,或是纯朴如春风拂面的毛利轻歌谣,她都以她最纯粹的美声与演唱技巧呈现,令人赞叹!
西元1880年,海莉的祖父从爱尔兰登上第一艘开往纽西兰的船,一路航行到了这有如人间仙境的世外桃源。来自音乐世家的海莉,身上流着音符满溢的血缘传统,祖父母的才华启发了海莉的音乐生命,她更以这张专辑,纪念此一全球纪行。自小听着祖母唱的英文版义大利歌剧长大,因此特别选唱One Fine Day这首选自歌剧‘蝴蝶夫人’的著名咏叹调(如同geisha望着海平面,盼望有天爱人能出现);而Danny Boy和另一首海莉自弹自唱的爱尔兰民谣Sonny,也都题献给她的祖母。
今年刚满23岁的海莉,美丽的脸庞透出几许迷人韵味,在全球唱片销量突破300万张后,她不仅是纽西兰的国家级瑰宝,也是英、美、曰等地最受瞩目的明星。她不但与[美声男伶](Il Divo)及[美丽人声](Celtic Woman)连袂巡演,还将收入捐赠给联合国救援组织,造福更多需要帮助的人,人美、声美、心更美。海莉精致的歌声,绝对是乐迷聆听经验中最璀璨的一页。
hayley westenra - summer rain
days of burning sun
watch the colours run
into pools that catch the eye
disappear as you pass by
you're my summer rain
you're my summer rain
and i know that i'll see you again
and i know that i'll see you again
hear my prayer
answer my call
breathe life into my soul
i am waiting for you to show
come and hold me so
you're my summer rain
you're my summer rain
and i know that i'll see you again
and i know that i'll see you again
dreams of a day with you
fading away
you're my summer rain
you're my summer rain
and i know and i know and i know
that i'll see you again
and i know and i know and i know
that i'll see you again
summer rain
you're my summer rain
and i know and i know and i know
that i'll see you again
and i know and i know and i know
that i'll see you again
