My favorite singer---Lea Salonga

喜歡這首歌的旋律及歌詞，更喜歡的是Lea如水晶般清透的聲音，她的歌聲特質不僅在於她的好音色，更在那份溫暖及感動人心的力量。在youtube上找到lea現場演唱的版本，比錄音版更讓我感動，不過有一段省略了，所以放上錄音版，想要聽現場版，請自己去搜尋。



JOURNEY
Half the world is sleeping,
half the world's awake
half can hear their hearts beat
half just hear them break

I am but a traveler, in most every way
Ask me what you want...to know

What a journey it has been
And the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
and they're bound to guide my way

When they're shining on my life
I can see a better day
I won't let the darkness in,
what a journey it has been.

I have been to sorrow
I have been to bliss
Where I'll be tomorrow,
I can only guess

Through the darkest desert
Through the deepest snow,
Forward always forward, I go..

What a journey it has been
and the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
and they're bound to guide my way

When they're shining on my life
I can see a better day
I won't let the darkness in,
what a journey it has been

Forward, always forward...
Onward, always up...
Catching every drop of hope
In my empty cup

What a journey it has been
And the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
and they're bound to guide my way

When they're shining on my life
I can see a better day
I won't let the darkness in,
what a journey it has been

What a journey it has been

最後，我還想附上兩個比較版本，一個是Les Miserables 10 年紀念音樂會中Lea版本的on my own，以及林憶蓮版本的"屬於我"。Lea版本有多受音樂劇迷喜愛(愛到大家常常忘了，其實本來不是要找Lea來10th Anniversary唱的)，我就不多說了，林憶蓮的歌聲也頗具穿透力，但是這首歌的表現總讓我覺得有連續劇般灑狗血的感覺，沒有被感動的感覺，加上不知所云的歌詞(其實，我覺的中文版最大的敗筆就是歌詞，也不是完全照翻，也沒有自己的意境，一整個混亂)，高下立見分明。

工商時間:我自己買了Lea Miserable 10th Anniversiry Concert的雙CD跟現場錄影DVD，喜歡這個音樂劇或是Lea的人，千萬不要遲疑，趕快去購買，全部的角色都是一時之選。
