听“What Colour Is the Wind”识 CHARLIE LANDSBOROUGH（查利.兰保夫）
个人日记
歌手简介
Charlie Landsborough 是一位爱尔兰乡村男歌手，声音极富磁性。但和传统乡村的那种固定到似乎连发音、腔调都几乎一致的味道又有不同，他的音乐来得更民间，叙事体民谣在他的作品中最为常见。
他的音乐是平易近人的，但是确很能触及人的内心。这个可爱可敬的歌手有着一把无比动人的嗓音。
BBC TV的Gerry Anderson这么评价他：“Charlie Landsborough是一瓶陈年美酒,拔出塞子的时候，你一定会知道你的等待是多么的值得。
这位五十多岁才正式发行唱片的歌手，曾经差一点被关进牢房，结婚时潦倒到买件礼服也要妻子付帐，可以想象这其中的坎坷与艰辛，多年生活的沉淀和磨砺，有时候的确似乎缺乏了些许激情，但是决不阴暗，始终透出的是宽阔与明亮，在音乐中焕发出的光彩是他六十岁的青春。老家伙更有一把举世无匹的醉人嗓音，温煦而醇厚，与生俱来的就有一种通透的音场感，其实也不用奇怪，爱尔兰这个小国天生就是生产好嗓子的地方。
对于那些拥有梦想确从未实现的人来说，Charlie就是一个榜样，儿时的梦想确在50多岁的时候再实现，需要的不仅是实力，更是勇气。做过邮递员，做过铁路工人，参过军，做过老师，确不曾放弃音乐的梦想。
90年代时他的一首what color of the wind给了他步入歌唱界的机会。到现在为止，这位上了年纪的歌手已经发行了11张专辑。尽管年事已高，不过就和美酒一样，Charlie的声音确越来越有味道。
“What Colour is the Wind(风儿是什么颜色)” 讲述了一个盲孩子试图想象这个世界的故事。95年，这首歌曲的同名专辑，击败了Garth Brooks，取得过爱尔兰专辑榜的NO.1。
从那以后，Chharlie又发行了十张专辑，销量超过70万张，使得他取得爱尔兰流行榜单的第一，他的大部分专辑曾位于英国乡村榜单之首。
99年，他的专辑“Still Can't Say Goodbye（还是不能说再见）”在那什维尔录制完成。他还三次在Grand Ole Opry（乡村老大剧院剧院）登台演出。
1. You think you own whatever land you land on Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
你说大地无非死物
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
你以为和你有着同样面孔与思维的生物才叫人类

We need to sing with
All the voices of the mountains
To paint with all the colors of the wind
我们都渴望
能够应和那山谷幽幽的回音

You can own the Earth
And still all you'll own is earth
Until you can paint with
All the colors of the wind
当你绘出了风中缤纷的色彩
便可拥有这方土地
乃至整个地球
