2. you raise me up

Started life as a duo air still, Figments of a familiar Irish tune swung in every into the melody. We tried to handle the lyrics but it would not give away. Maybe it sounded a different life-form… and so, we decided to pursue the idea of adding lyrics and asked Irish writer Brendan Graham to listen to it. His books «The Whittest Flower» and «The Element of Fire» – two best-selling novels about the life of Ellen Rao O’Malley during the Irish famine, had inspired us strongly. He immediately began to share a story—in the melody and by that time evenings led adapted the first draft of your raise me up. The unaccompanied violin opening is Romania’s first and untouched guide recording for the original demo, while Ullianna piped grand master, Liam O’Eyana carries the tune through its middle course. The subtly singing of Brian Kennedy and Tracy Campbell-Nelson, together with the London Community Gospel Chair and Irish choral group, Alastia, gives full expression to the deep spiritual longing within the lyric.

When I am down and, oh my soul, no worry.
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and sent here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To move than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To move than I can be.

There is no life – no life without its hunger,
Each realess heart beats so imperfectly:
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
And I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To move than I can be.

You raise me up… To move than I can be.

2. 你鼓舞了我

最初以二重奏的形式诞生，熟悉的爱尔兰旋律片段在曲调中摇曳。我们尝试创作歌词却始终未果，或许它需要另一种生命形态的表达……于是我们决定邀请爱尔兰作家布伦丹·格雷厄姆聆听这首曲子。他的畅销小说《最白的花》与《火之元素》——讲述爱尔兰饥荒时期艾伦·拉奥·奥马利生平的故事——曾给予我们深刻启发。他即刻在旋律中捕捉到叙事灵感，并在数个夜晚后完成了《你鼓舞了我》的初稿。小提琴独奏开场部分采用了罗马尼亚原始演示版的首次无伴奏录音，而尤利安风笛大师利亚姆·奥埃亚纳则在中段完美演绎主旋律。布莱恩·肯尼迪与特蕾西·坎贝尔-尼尔森细腻的嗓音，配合伦敦社区福音合唱团及爱尔兰合唱团体阿拉斯蒂亚，淋漓尽致地诠释了歌词中深沉的精神渴望。

当我失意低落，灵魂疲惫不堪，
当苦难来袭，内心负重难行；
我仍静默伫立，在寂静中等待，
直到你降临，与我片刻相依。

你鼓舞了我，让我屹立群山之巅；
你鼓舞了我，使我行走暴风海面；
当我倚靠你的肩头，便坚韧如钢；
你鼓舞我…超越自我极限。

（副歌重复）

世间生命——皆难逃饥渴求索，
每颗跃动的心都残缺不全：
但当你出现，我满怀惊叹，
恍然间，似窥见永恒之光。

awakening 觉醒

An acoustic invitation to step within the walls of the Secret Garden. First recorded with solo piano and violin, this piece was later brush-stroked with some traditional Norwegian colour, in a reflective orchestral treatment by Steven Mercurio. Åsa Jindar's keyharp and Hans Fredrik Jacobsen's willow-askable further add to the emerging musical landscape. The music was inspired by Kate Chopin's late nineth-century novel of the same name, which about the emotional awakening of Edna - the main character - and the gradual realization of her own identity.

这是一段踏入神秘园围墙的声学邀约。最初以钢琴与小提琴独奏形式录制，后经史蒂文·梅尔库里奥充满沉思的管弦乐编配，点缀以挪威传统音乐色彩。奥萨·金达的键竖琴与汉斯·弗雷德里克·雅各布森的柳木管乐器，进一步丰富了渐次展开的音乐图景。作品灵感源自凯特·肖邦19世纪末同名小说，讲述女主角艾德娜的情感觉醒与自我认知的渐进历程。
