Music is a kind of a fate that ties everyone together.
音樂是一種緣分,把大家系在一起。

周華健回來了!時隔2年,這位被認為最適合開演唱會的歌手將再次踏上首體的舞臺,于今年11月21日在京開唱。2年前“華健20”演唱會在首體舉辦時,周華健曾承諾:“北京的朋友們,2008年首體開館,我還會來這里跟朋友們相聚,記住我這個約定,你們都要來噢!”而11月21日周華健在首體的這次個唱不但是一次重溫,也是奧運會后首體迎來的首次個唱,因此這次個唱也會深深地打上奧運的烙印。

《讓我歡喜讓我憂》英文版
You never know someone is right here
Someone is waiting just for you
Hoping someday you will know
We will be together, our love will grow
So many dreams drift it away
But I love you just as I say
No one ask could change the way
If I touch you tonight again
Say you come back on the these days
And our love will be the same
So let me look in your eyes
Please don't hide ,please don't hide
So baby if we try a little harder and get a little closer
That we make through the nighty
Oh...baby if we climb a little higher
Nothing really matters that I had just hold on tight
——Don Mclean
如果用“迷人”一詞來形容美國民謠歌手唐·麥克林的歌聲,相信沒有人會反對。也許許多人對唐·麥克林的敬意始自他第一首在排行榜上奪冠的單曲American Pie。而更多的中國聽眾則是因為那首堪稱世紀絕唱的Vincent(Starry Starry Night),觸動了人們的心靈。雖然在樂壇上的時間并不長,也沒有締造多首暢銷單曲,但他的確是一名非常優秀的歌手,這點從Eric Clapton曾在聽過Mclean彈吉他后形容他為“技藝精湛者”;及1973年由Roberta Flack演唱的Killing Me Softly With His Song,這首歌的靈感來自作者Lori Lleberman,Charles Glmble和Norman Fox看到Mclean在洛杉磯Troubadour演唱后的感受,這兩個小故事就可以印證。而他所建立的知名度,也是大多數與他同時期的歌手所望塵莫及的。
