The Singer - The Voice of an Angel
There is nothing more exciting than the house lights go down, the crowd cheers and band begins to play. I take a deep breath and make my entrance. What most people don't know about me is that every time I step onto the stage, a big part of me is still scared - stage fright, just like my first stage experience.
But when Air Supply performs and I begin to sing some of the best love songs ever written, I also get to experience the fans holding their loved ones, kissing, applauding, singing, crying and even blowing me a kiss or two. Then I am at ease.
Forty years later, the excitement and the stage fright haven't changed at all. They are both intense feelings that I cherish every performance. That, along with following defining moments of my life, are what got me to where I am today and keep me here 40 years later.
中文译文:
没有声音比全场灯光暗下来,人声鼎沸,乐队开始演奏更令人兴奋的事情了。我做了深呼吸,然后准备登场。也许大多数人都不知道,我依旧有舞台恐惧症,就像我第一次登台那时一样。
但是当Air Supply开始演出,我开始演唱史上最棒的情歌,歌迷们拥抱着他们的爱人,亲吻着,鼓掌着,歌唱着,哭泣着,甚至给我飞吻。这样我才会放松下来。
40年后,这舞台恐惧症的毛病依旧没有任何改变。这种强烈的情感使我珍惜这每次演出。这种时刻伴随着我的一生,这才能让我40年之后依旧在这里演出。
