Special guest: Anne Takle</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Nocturne&#8221; - our very first melody - the winning song of the 1995 Eurovision Song Contest - and the key song in our first international release - &#8220;Songs from a Secret Garden&#8221;. We asked Petter Skavland, who&#8217;d written the original 24 words to the opening and ending, to complete the story and make it into a full song. In the preparation process I asked the talented singer and songwriter Anne Takle to demo it. Her very personal approach to the song was a key point in understanding this instrumental-into-vocal process - by allowing the artists to perform the songs with their own artistic identity - by searching for a new platform and being open to telling the story from a here and now perspective. Anne&#8217;s special performance made us aware of all these essential issues. Changing even one note from her original demo became impossible. We&#8217;re very proud that her very first recording is an important part of this album.</em></p>
<p>Now, let the day<br />
Just slip away<br />
So the dark night may watch over you<br />
Velvet, blue<br />
Silent, true<br />
It embraces your heart and your soul<br />
Nocturne</p>
<p>Never cry - never sigh<br />
You don&#8217;t have to wonder why<br />
Always be - always see<br />
Come and dream the night with me<br />
Nocturne</p>
<p>Have no fear<br />
When the night draws near<br />
And fills you with dreams and desire<br />
Like a child asleep<br />
So warm, so deep<br />
You will find me there waiting for you<br />
Nocturne</p>
<p>We will fly - claim the sky<br />
We don&#8217;t have to wonder why<br />
Always see - always be<br />
Come and dream the night with me<br />
Nocturne</p>
<p>Though darkness lay<br />
It will give way<br />
When the dark night delivers the day<br />
Nocturne</p>

<p><strong>THANK YOU</strong><br />
Special guest: Peter Jöback</p>
<p><em>The concept of this album is based on new vocal versions of previously released Secret Garden instrumentals. But, during the 2-year work process of the album, I&#8217;ve also written some new songs - so the story continues&#8230; &#8220;Thank You&#8221; is one of these new songs. I sent the demo with a guide melody to lyricist Brendan Graham - who has collaborated closely with us in developing this vocal concept. He responded with these beautiful and playful words. From the very first time I heard the Swedish singer Peter Jöback in the Benny Anderson / Björn Ulveus-musical &#8220;Kristina från Duvamåla&#8221;, I&#8217;ve loved his beautiful and emotive voice, and his personal way of combining traditional phasing into a modern performance.</em></p>
<p>If I lived to be a thousand years,<br />
If I ruled the word – it’s hemispheres,<br />
I could not repay the love you brought my way,<br />
So, I want to say it now -<br />
to thank you for each day you gave me</p>
<p>Thank you for the Mondays,<br />
Saturdays and Sundays,<br />
Everyday, the whole year through;<br />
Thank you for the fun days,<br />
All those number-one days,<br />
Battles-to-be-won days, too;<br />
I just want to say it,<br />
Thank you for each day with&#8230; you.</p>
<p>We have just one life to seize the day,<br />
We only have what time there is to say&#8230;<br />
‘n’ do what we must do, express our gratitude,<br />
So, I whant to say it and sing it now to you.</p>
<p>Thank you for the Mondays,<br />
Saturdays and Sundays,<br />
Everyday, the whole year through;<br />
Thank you for the fun days,<br />
All those number-one days,<br />
Battles-to-be-won days, too;<br />
I just want to say it,<br />
Thank you for each day with&#8230; you.</p>
<p>At the close of every day,<br />
When I close my eyes to pray,<br />
All I need to do, is just to think of you&#8230;<br />
Then, all I need to say&#8230;is&#8230;</p>
<p>Thank you for the Mondays,<br />
Saturdays and Sundays,<br />

<p><strong>THE THINGS YOU ARE TO ME</strong><br />
Special guest: Elaine Paige</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Song from a Secret Garden&#8221; - the title song to our first album - has always been a melody close to our hearts. We always like to perform it in concert, as we feel it&#8217;s one of those special songs that truly expresses what Secret Garden is all about. Many attempts have been made to write lyrics to this melody, but only when Brendan Graham presented &#8220;The Things You Are to Me&#8221; did we feel a perfect match - the story in the melody became the story in Brendan&#8217;s lyric&#8230; We asked Elaine Paige - the legendary singer and iconic star of &#8220;Evita&#8221;, &#8220;Cars&#8221;, &#8220;Chess&#8221; and many other London stage musicals and recordings - to give life to this song. Her voice and passionate performance honors the song with depth and storytelling - and lifts it to a level we&#8217;d only dreamed of.</em></p>
<p>If i held in my hand, every grain of sand,<br />
since time first began to be,<br />
Still, I could never count, measure the amount,<br />
Of all the things you are to me.</p>
<p>If I could paint the sky, hang it out to dry,<br />
I would want the sky to be&#8230;<br />
Oh, such a grand design, an everlasting sign,<br />
Of all the things you are to me.</p>
<p>You are the song that comes on summer winds,<br />
You are the falling year that autumn brings;<br />
You are the wonder and the mystery -<br />
In everything I see the things you are to me.</p>
<p>Sometimes, I wake at night, suddenly take fright,<br />
You might be just fantasy,<br />
But then you reach for me and, once again I see,<br />
All the things you are to me.</p>
<p>You are the song that comes on summer winds,<br />
You are the falling year that autumn brings;<br />
You are the wonder and the mystery -<br />
In everything I see the things you are to me.</p>
<p>You are the song that comes on summer winds,<br />
You are the falling year that autumn brings;<br />

<p><strong>IF CAME THE HOUR</strong><br />
Special guest: Tommy Körberg</p>
<p><em>A melody from our &#8220;White Stones&#8221; album called &#8220;Passacaglia&#8221; is the melody on which &#8220;If Came The Hour&#8221; is based. It was originally a piece I wrote in memory of my father. The new lyrics by Brendan Graham capture the sentiment of parting and all things coming to an end, in a soulful way. In the powerful voice of the Swedish singer Tommy Körberg - world renowned for his original recording of &#8220;Chess&#8221; and his starring role in the musical in London - the song takes on a new and dramatic dimension - and his performance truly explores the innermost depth and melancholy of the song.</em></p>
<p>If came the hour, if came the day,<br />
If came the year, when you went away;<br />
How could I live? I&#8217;d surely die,<br />
What would life be if you said &#8216;goodbye&#8217;?</p>
<p>How would I laugh, how could I love,<br />
Could I believe in a God above?<br />
How would I hope, how could I pray,<br />
If came the hour,if came the day.</p>
<p>But you are here, lying beside me,<br />
I watch you breathe, each rise and fall,<br />
Without you near then there would be,<br />
Nothing at all.</p>
<p>If in this world, all things must pass,<br />
And we must raise the parting glass,<br />
No words would ever come, what could I say,<br />
If came the hour, if came the day?</p>
<p>There&#8217;d be no music in my soul,<br />
How could I dance - no you to hold?<br />
How could I hear the violin?<br />
There&#8217;d be no song I could ever sing.</p>
<p>But you are here, lying beside me,<br />
I watch you breathe, each rise and fall,<br />
Without you near then there would be,<br />
Nothing at all.</p>
<p>Now you&#8217;re awake, the dawn sweeps in,<br />
I touch your mouth, I touch your skin;<br />
How would I live, if you should go away,<br />
If came the hour, if came the day?</p>
<p>How would I live, if you should go away,<br />
If came the hour, if came the day&#8230;</p>
<p>If came the hour, if came the day?</p>

<p><strong>SOMETIMES A PRAYER WILL DO</strong><br />
Special guest: Tracey Campbell</p>
<p><em>On our second album &#8216;White Stones&#8217; we recorded a melody called &#8220;Hymn to Hope&#8221;. It&#8217;s a piece we&#8217;ve performed in many concerts - but one concert in Denver gave us a memory never to be forgotten: We performed there a few days after the tragic Columbine High School shotting where several students were killed. Knowing that our audience was deeply affected by this tragedy, we dedicated &#8220;Hymn to Hope&#8221; to them to express our sympathy. After the concert, two teachers from the Columbine High School came and told us that they&#8217;d used this particular song on the very hour of the tragedy - to pray and comfort the students who&#8217;d escaped the shooting scene. We were left speechless, realizing that our music had become a part of the healing process of this traumatic event. We later shared this story with lyricist Brendan Graham, who captured what hope is in a hopeless situation in a particularly beautiful way.. We asked Tracey Campbell - the amazing gospel singer from London - to perform &#8220;Sometimes a Prayer Will Do&#8221; with us. She is also one of the soloist on our original recording of &#8220;You Raise Me Up&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>Sometimes we stumble,<br />
Sometimes we even fall,<br />
And we cant&#8217;t find a friend,<br />
Can&#8217;t comprehend it all;<br />
And we are lost,<br />
With nothing to hold on to,<br />
When we can&#8217;t find the answer,<br />
Sometimes a prayer will do.</p>
<p>And though we wonder,<br />
Uncertain if we will get through,<br />
To face the future,<br />
Sometimes a prayer will do.</p>
<p>Sometimes we reach,<br />
For what&#8217;s not really there,<br />
Sometimes we lose our grip,<br />
Come tumbling though mid-air,<br />
And we are searching<br />
For something to hold on to,<br />
When we can&#8217;t find the answer,<br />
Sometimes a prayer will do.</p>
<p>And though we wonder,<br />
Uncertain if we will get through,<br />
To face the future,<br />
Sometimes a prayer will do.</p>
<p>Then, we are stronger,<br />
Somehow we know we will get through,<br />
To face the future,<br />
Sometimes a prayer will do.</p>
<p>Yeah, we are stronger,<br />
Somehow we know we will get through,<br />
To face the future,<br />
Sometimes a prayer will do.</p>
<p>Sometimes a prayer will do.<br />

<p><strong>SONG FOR A STORMY NIGHT</strong><br />
Special guest: Steinar Albrigtsen</p>
<p><em>This new song originated in the process of writing music for a Japanese animation movie. The film was based on an old tradional fairytale about two animals becoming friends inside a dark cave while seeking refuge from a stormy night. Even if they can&#8217;t see each other, they talk about their lives and share their common problems. At the break of day they realize that one is a goat and one is a wolf - enemies by nature! This story inspired us - even if the song was never used in the film. Brendan Graham took the concept in a different direction - about protecting each other in the stormy night. In the beautiful voice and storytelling preformance of Norwegian singer Steinar Albrightsen, the song comes to life with great intimacy.<br />
</em><br />
The rain beats hard at my window,<br />
While you, so softly do sleep;<br />
And you can’t hear the cold wind blow,<br />
You are sleeping so deep.</p>
<p>Outside it&#8217;s dark, the moon hiding,<br />
By starlight only I see,<br />
The hosts of the night-time go riding,<br />
But you are safe here with me.</p>
<p>So, while the world out there is sleeping,<br />
And everyone wrapped up so tight,<br />
Oh, I am a vigil here keeping,<br />
On this stormy night;<br />
I promised I always would love you,<br />
If skies would be grey or be blue,<br />
I whisper this prayer now above you,<br />
That there will always be you.</p>
<p>Sometimes, we&#8217;re just like the weather,<br />
Changing by day after day,<br />
As long as we&#8217;ll be together,<br />
Storms will pass away.</p>
<p>I said I would guard and protect you,<br />
Keep you free from all harm;<br />
And if life should ever reject you,<br />
That love would weather each storm.</p>
<p>So, while the world out there is sleeping,<br />
And everyone wrapped up so tight,<br />
Oh, I am a vigil here keeping,<br />
On this stormy night;<br />
I promised I always would love you,<br />
If skies would be grey or be blue,<br />
I whisper this prayer now above you,<br />
That there will always be you.</p>
<p>Soon, I know you&#8217;ll be waking,<br />
Ask did I sleep - did I write?<br />
And I&#8217;ll just say I was making&#8230;<br />
A song&#8230; for a stormy night.</p>

<p><strong>I&#8217;VE DREAMED OF YOU</strong><br />
Special guest: Barbra Streisand</p>
<p><em>The very first artist to transform a Secret Garden instrumental into a vocal song was Barbra Streisand. She wrote to us after hearing our music on a trip to Ireland in 1998 asking if we&#8217;d approve to have words written to &#8220;Heartstrings&#8221; - originally a duo for violin and piano on our first album - &#8216;Songs from a Secret Garden&#8217;. It later turned out that she performed it as her personal wedding song to James Brolin in 1999. The American artist and songwriter Ann Hampton Callaway wrote the lyric - beautifully suited for the ceremony. Being the first artist to record a vocal version of our music, it was essential for us to ask Barbra Streisand to be a special guest as part of our own vocal album. She most generously agreed to let us use her own recording of &#8220;I&#8217;ve Dreamed Of You&#8221;, first released as a single from the album &#8216;A Love Like Ours&#8217;, then recorded again live for the &#8216;Millennium Concert&#8217; in Las Vegas and finally released on her &#8216;Essential Streisand&#8217; album. We are eternally grateful for all the support she&#8217;s given us through the years.</em></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve dreamed of you<br />
Always feeling you were there<br />
And all my life<br />
I have searched for you ev&#8217;rywhere<br />
I caught your smile<br />
In the morning sun<br />
I heard your whisper on the breeze of night<br />
I prayed one day<br />
That your arms would hold me tight</p>
<p>And just when I<br />
Thought love had passed me by we met<br />
That first look<br />
In your eyes I can&#8217;t forget<br />
You melted me<br />
With your tender touch<br />
I felt all fear and sorrow slip away<br />
Now here we stand<br />
Hand in hand this blessed day</p>
<p>I promise you<br />
As I give to you my heart<br />
That nothing<br />
In this world shall keep us apart<br />
Come happily<br />
Ever after be<br />
The man I&#8217;ll love until the very end<br />
I&#8217;ve dreamed of you<br />
My great love and my best friend</p>
<p>Now God must know<br />
How I love you so<br />
He&#8217;s blessed us here today<br />
As man and wife<br />
Come dream with me<br />
As I have dreamed of you<br />
All my life<br />
Come dream with me<br />
As I have dreamed of you<br />
All my life<br />

<p><strong>DID I NOT LOVE YOU</strong><br />
Special guest: Peter Corry</p>
<p><em>I woke up one morning with this new melody in my head while on a vacation in beautiful Tuscany in 2006. I was studying the script to &#8216;The Mermaid Chair&#8217; and had started to prepare for the musical score to the Inn. Composing the score turned out to be a hectic but very educational process. In collaboration with director Steven Schachter, we decided to let the music ask questions rather than give answers - to allow the music to be sensitive and insecure and never be overly condent&#8230; In this context, the statement of &#8220;Did I Not Love You&#8221; was too powerful, so we couldn&#8217;t t it into the story. But the script inspired Brendan Graham to write this lyric - about the souls of two people knowing each other even before they ever met&#8230; about a love beyond forever. Irish singer Peter Corry performed the leading role as Javert in &#8220;Les Misérables&#8221; in London for many years. His beautiful, lyrical baritone gives &#8220;Did I Not Love You&#8221; a sense of drama and passion which musically brings it back to Italy - where it was 1st inspired.</em></p>
<p>Did I not love you,<br />
Before this lifetime?<br />
Did you not hear,<br />
My music in your soul?<br />
Did I not need you,<br />
Beyond forever?<br />
And now I&#8217;ll leave you &#8230;<br />
Not for ever more.</p>
<p>The widest ocean,<br />
I have crossed over,<br />
No boat did I row,<br />
But love to carry me;<br />
I have been ever,<br />
In constant motion,<br />
I have been finding you,<br />
Eternally.</p>
<p>And I&#8217;ve been travelling,<br />
Throughout the ages,<br />
Down through the pages,<br />
Of history;<br />
Just for this moment,<br />
This timeless moment,<br />
This wondrous moment&#8230;<br />
Of you and me.</p>
<p>Did I not love you,<br />
Before this lifetime?<br />
Did you not hear,<br />
My music in your soul?<br />
Did I not need you,<br />
Beyond forever?<br />
And now I&#8217;ll leave you &#8230;<br />
Not for ever more</p>
<p>Did I not need you,<br />
Beyond forever?<br />
And now I&#8217;ll leave you&#8230;<br />

<p><strong>SIMPLY YOU</strong><br />
Special guest: Niamh Kavanagh</p>
<p><em>Early in the work process for this album, a lyric with no title or reference as to what melody it was written to landed on my fax. Brendan Graham had penned a beautiful lyric, but wanted me to find out to which Secret Garden melody it was for - without revealing it to me. I really needed to listen through a lot of melodies before I eventually discovered that he&#8217;d written the words to &#8220;Ode to Simplicity&#8221; - a simple instrumental composition from our first album. It was not a typical song and we weren&#8217;t even sure it would work as a vocal. We asked the Irish singer Niamh Kavanagh - renowned for her role in the film &#8216;The Commitments&#8217; and also as the 1993 Winner of the Eurovision Song Contest with &#8220;In Your Eyes&#8221; - to help us sing a few demos. Much to our surprise and excitement, &#8220;Simply You&#8221; turned out to be the unexpected &#8220;hit&#8221; of the session. Niamh&#8217;s approach - her timing and phrasing was so unique and instantly became inseparable from the song.<br />
</em><br />
You&#8217;re not alpha not omega,<br />
You&#8217;re not New York - you&#8217;re not<br />
Vegas&#8230; simply you;<br />
You&#8217;re not major, you&#8217;re not minor<br />
you&#8217;re not LA, you&#8217;re much finer&#8230; simply you.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t paint it, I can&#8217;t play it,<br />
There&#8217;s no other way to say it&#8230; simply you;<br />
I don&#8217;t care who comprehends it,<br />
My whole world begins and ends with&#8230; simply you.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re my train from every station,<br />
You&#8217;re my final destination&#8230; simply you;<br />
When I&#8217;m losing, when I&#8217;m winning,<br />
You&#8217;re in every song I&#8217;m singing&#8230; simply you.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t paint it, I can&#8217;t play it,<br />
There&#8217;s no other way to say it&#8230; simply you;<br />
I don&#8217;t care who comprehends it,<br />
My whole world begins and ends with&#8230; simply you.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re the dance and you&#8217;re the dancer,<br />
You&#8217;re the call and you&#8217;re the answer&#8230; simply you;<br />
I don&#8217;t mean to overstate it,<br />
There&#8217;s no need to complicate it&#8230; simply you.</p>

<p><strong>MY LAND</strong><br />
Special guest: Espen Grjotheim</p>
<p><em>In 2005 Norway celebrated the 100 year anniversary of the friendly separation from Sweden - to become an independent state. As a composer and as a relative to Jörgen Lövland - the Norwegian prime minister of the Norwegian government in Sweden, and the main architect behind the separation draft - I was aksed to write music to celebrate this historic event. In a local concert in Evje, my father&#8217;s birthplace, Fionnuala and I performed this tune as a simple instrumental piece with violin and piano only. Later, Brendan Graham and his daughter Alana Graham wrote the words to it using the theme of national identity and love for your home country as inspiration for the story. The talented young Norwegian singer Espen Grjotheim first demoed this song for us. With his beautiful, pure voice he instantly and naturally captured the right feeling of the song and made it into his own.</em></p>
<p>How green are your valleys, how blue your great skies,<br />
Your mountains stand tall in their glory;<br />
Your rivers run free - the bright stars are your eyes,<br />
Your beauty is endless before me.</p>
<p>For you are the song ever singing in me,<br />
And you see the heart ever true;<br />
For you are my land and you always will be,<br />
The voice ever calling me home to you.</p>
<p>When to your green valleys some day I return,<br />
When you lay you mantle around me;<br />
At rest I will be where the heart will not yearn,<br />
Then my land will ever surround me.</p>
<p>For you are the song ever singing in me,<br />
And you see the heart ever true;<br />
For you are my land and you always will be,<br />
The voice ever calling me home to you.</p>

Many artists have brought our song to No. 1 - Josh Groban in the US with Grammy nominations, Westlife as their top-selling single ever (single of the year in UK) - Il Divo, Russel Watson, Celtic Woman and many other million-selling artists. In fact, there are more than 500 different recordings of it - and to date it has aired more than a million times on US radio. So we thought it was time to bring it back to where it all began - with Irish singer Brian Kennedy&#8217;s original recording with us - on our 2001-album Once In a Red Moon.</em></p>
<p>When I am down and oh my soul so weary,<br />
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;<br />
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,<br />
Until you come and sit awhile with me.</p>
<p>You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains,<br />
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;<br />
I am strong when I am on your shoulders,<br />
You raise me up to more than I can be.</p>
<p>There is no life, no life without its hunger,<br />
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;<br />
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,<br />
Sometimes I think I glimpse eternity.</p>
<p>You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains,<br />
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;<br />
I am strong when I am on your shoulders,<br />
You raise me up to more than I can be.</p>
<p>You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains,<br />
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;<br />
I am strong when I am on your shoulders,<br />
You raise me up to more than I can be.</p>
<p>You raise me up to more than I can be.<br />
<em><br />
Music Rolf Lovland<br />
Lyrics Brendan Graham</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><strong>Không đề gởi mùa đông</strong></p>
<p><em>Thảo Phương</em></p>
<p>Dường như ai đi ngang cửa<br />
Hay là ngọn gió mải chơi</p>
<p>Chút nắng thu vàng se nhẹ<br />
Chiều nay<br />

<p>Làm sao về được mùa đông<br />

<p><strong>Nỗi nhớ mùa đông</strong></p>
<p><em>Nhạc: Phú Quang<br />
Ca sĩ: Quang Lý</em></p>
<p>Dường như ai đi ngang cửa<br />
Gió mùa đông bắc se lòng<br />
Chút lá thu vàng đã rụng<br />
Chiều nay cũng bỏ ta đi</p>
<p>Nằm nghe xôn xao tiếng đời<br />
Mà ngỡ ai đó nói cười<br />
Bỗng nhớ cánh buồm xưa ấy<br />
Giờ đây cũng bỏ ta đi</p>
<p>Làm sao về được mùa đông<br />
Dòng sông đôi bờ cát trắng<br />
Làm sao về được mùa đông<br />
để nghe chuông chiều xa vắng<br />
Thôi đành ru lòng mình vậy<br />
Vờ như mùa đông đã về.</p>

<p>***</p>
<p><a href="http://diendan.thotre.com/index.php?showtopic=8113&amp;pid=16292&amp;mode=threaded&amp;start=#entry16292"><strong>Lời bình bài hát &#8220;Nỗi nhớ mùa đông&#8221; của Sonvan05</strong></a></p>
<p>Không hiểu vì sao mỗi khi giai điệu ấy cất lên, tôi không thể kìm được những cảm xúc trong lòng mình dâng tràn. Cái cảm giác buồn đến xa xăm diệu vợi cứ cuốn tôi theo từng lời hát. Nó cuốn tôi trở về một miền quá khứ Tôi cũng không xác định được đó là khoảng ký ức nào. Nhưng có một điều chắc chắn là vùng ký ức ấy là một miền đẹp đến ngọt ngào.<br />
Dường như tìm về quá khứ cũng là một biện pháp tâm lý để hóa giải trạng thái bệnh lý cô đơn trong tâm hồn. Bản nhạc ngắn, ngắn như cái miền quá khứ êm đềm và ngào ngọt kia vậy. Chỉ 4 khổ thôi nhưng nó đủ sức nặng để chứa một vùng sáng trong tâm tưởng - một quãng đời ngào ngọt đã trôi qua.<br />
Dường như ai đi ngang cửa,<br />
Gió mùa đông bắc se lòng,<br />
Chút lá thu vàng đã rụng<br />
Chiều nay cũng bỏ ta đi.</p>
<p>Nằm nghe xôn xao tiếng đời<br />
Mà ngỡ ai đó nói cười<br />
Bỗng nhớ cánh buồm xưa ấy<br />
Giờ đây cũng bỏ ta đi.</p>
<p>Có những quãng đời đi qua ta một cách nhẹ nhàng và bình yên, không dấu vết, không mảy may kỷ niệm. Có những quãng đời đi qua thật ngọt ngào, thật đẹp đẽ. Đẹp đến mức khi nó qua đi, ta vẫn không tin, ta tưởng như nó vừa mới diễn ra đâu đây hôm qua thôi. “Nỗi nhớ mùa đông” chính là nỗi nhớ về cái miền cổ tích ấy – Một mùa đông ấm áp trong quá khứ.<br />
Mở đầu bài hát là một khung cảnh buồn đến se lòng, buồn đến cô đơn, buồn đến mức nó biến tất cả thành ảo giác. “Ai đi ngang cửa” là ảo giác (“dường như” thôi!). “Gió mùa đông bắc” cũng là ảo giác bởi đây chỉ là một mùa đông trong nỗi nhớ. “Chút lá thu vàng” thì “đã rụng”, đến cả buổi chiều “cũng bỏ ra đi”… Tất cả đều tan biến trong miền nhớ, để giật mình thảng thốt về cái miền xa xăm tưởng như thật gần ấy. Tất cả đã qua, tất cả chỉ còn là quá khứ…<br />
Dường như nhân vật trữ tình trong bài hát cố dìm mình vào quá khứ để sống với những gì êm đẹp nhất. Nhưng càng cố say thì lại càng tỉnh. Tỉnh để nhận ra thực tại phũ phàng rồi lại cố tìm cách để say. Cái vòng say - tỉnh ấy cứ tuần hoàn, tuần hoàn khiến cho tâm trạng của nhân vật trữ tình bị giằng xé không phút bình yên.<br />
Đây đang : “Nằm nghe xôn xao tiếng đời” thì lại “Ngỡ ai đó nói cười”. Rồi như chợt tỉnh, khi nhận ra hiện tại lại đắm ngay vào quá khứ “Bỗng nhớ cánh buồm xưa ấy”… Vừa chạm được vào quá khứ lại tỉnh “giờ đây cũng bỏ ta đi”… Sự giằng xé giữa quá khứ - hiện tại trong tâm hồn nhân vật trữ tình thật dai dẳng và nặng nề. Nhưng dường như anh thích cái nặng nề và dai dẳng ấy vì ít nhất với nỗi nhớ (và có lẽ chỉ có thể trong nỗi nhớ mà thôi) anh mới có thể sống với những gì là đẹp nhất.<br />
Nhưng nhớ mãi rồi cũng phải quên, say lắm rồi cũng phải tỉnh. Tỉnh ra thì buồn và cô đơn đến vô hạn, cho nên sự trở về với quá khứ (dù chỉ là trong tâm tưởng) trở thành một khát khao:<br />
Làm sao về được mùa đông,<br />
Dòng sông đôi bờ cát trắng<br />
Làm sao về được mùa đông<br />
Để  nghe chuông chiều xa vắng.</p>
<p>Làm sao về được mùa đông,<br />
Dòng sông đôi bờ cát trắng,<br />
Làm sao về được mùa đông<br />
Mùa thu cây cầu đã gãy,<br />
Thôi đành ru lòng mình vậy<br />
Vờ như mùa đông đã về…<br />
Cái thực tại phũ phàng cứ bày ra trước mắt, đến day dứt. Cho nên trên cái nền hiện thực ấy, người ta chỉ còn biết ước mơ, khao khát: “Làm sao về được mùa đông…”. Cái điệp ngữ ấy cứ lặp đi lặp lại trên một nền nhạc dồn dập và trong hình thức của một câu hỏi thể hiện một ước mơ đến khắc khoải, day dứt. Kỷ niệm cứ thế khoan nhức nhối vào lòng người, vào âm điệu của từng lời hát.<br />
“Nỗi nhớ mùa đông” là một thế giới ảo. Đến cái ước mơ “Làm sao về được mùa đông” cũng ảo. Tìm đến ảo để nói về thực, hiện thực cô đơn đang bao vây lấy nhân vật trữ tình. Và những kỷ niệm trở thành một miền nhớ. Cái miền nhớ ấy sẽ và luôn luôn ám ảnh, thôi thúc anh. Bởi nó là kỷ niệm, là quá khứ. Trong cuộc đời, có những quá khứ (nhất là những quá khứ đẹp) khiến người ta không bao giờ quên được. “Nỗi nhớ mùa đông” chính là quá khứ ấy…<br />
Lần đầu tiên tôi nghe bài hát này là ca sỹ Ngọc Tân hát. Và đến giờ, mỗi lần nghe Ngọc Tân hát “Nỗi nhớ mùa đông”, cái vùng sáng trong ký ức tôi lại thức dậy một cách trọn vẹn, đầy đủ.</p>

<p><b>Âm nhạc Secret Garden - Góc lặng của tâm hồn</b></p>
<p><b></b>Những cánh đồng xanh bạt ngàn với những đàn cừu thong dong gặm cỏ, có những bếp lửa hồng đỏ suốt đêm để xua tan giá lạnh và chờ những người đàn ông trở về, vẫn có những ngôi làng màu nâu đất nằm san sát nhau đang ngủ bình yên dưới Thung lũng vắng nhưng cũng thấp thoáng đâu đấy những ông già Tuyết thập thò phía xa trên những rặng thông chờ đêm xuống làm một cuộc hành trình ống khói&#8230;</p>
<p>Một làn gió nhẹ, một tia nắng xuyên qua kẽ lá, một tiếng chân người dưới con suối nhỏ&#8230;Những câu chuyện cổ tích miền Bắc Âu, những khu rừng già yên tĩnh, những ngôi làng xen lẫn những cách đồng cạnh những khu rừng&#8230;.</p>
<p>Tất cả trong Secret Garden&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>Nhạc của Secret Garden mang đến người nghe cả một thế giới cho họ quay về, gửi gắm vào đó tất cả mọi buồn, vui và nhận lại từ nó niềm tin và hy vọng để tiếp tục trên con đường cuộc sống&#8230;!!!</p>
<p>Secret Garden gồm hai thành viên, được thành lập năm 1994. Trước đó, Rolf Lovland (nam) đã được biết đến như một nhà viết nhạc xuất sắc nhất của Na Uy, từng đại diện Na Uy dự thi Eurovision 1985 và đoạt giải quán quân; còn Fionnuala Sherry (nữ), người Ireland, đã biết chơi violin từ khi lên tám và đã có thâm niên 10 năm trong dàn nhạc giao hưởng.</p>
<p>Với gương mặt khả ái, Fionnuala còn được nhiều lần xuất hiện trên các phim truyền hình của kênh truyền hình quốc gia Ireland. Ngoài ra, cô còn được mời ghi âm nhạc nền cho nhiều phim của Hollywood như <i>The river runs wild</i>, <i>A room with a view</i> và <i>The mask</i>. Chính tại đây cô đã tình cờ gặp được Rolf Lovland. Thế là một nhóm nhạc tài năng ra đời.</p>
<p>Hơn mười năm hoạt động, Secret Garden đã chinh phục công chúng ở 80 quốc gia khác nhau chỉ với năm album: <i><b>Songs from a secret garden</b></i> (1995), <i><b>White stones</b></i> (1997), <i><b>Dawn of a new century</b></i> (1999), <i><b>Once in a red moon</b></i> (2002), <b><i>Earthsongs</i> </b>(2005) và một đĩa tuyển tập những tác phẩm xuất sắc <i><b>Dreamcatcher - The best of Secret Garden</b></i> (2001).</p>
<p>Tuy là nhà sáng tác nhưng Rolf đã hào phóng nhường cho Fionnuala giữ nhịp ở hầu hết các track trong album đầu tiên. Kết quả <i><b>Songs from a secret garden</b></i> đã thấm đượm những giai điệu hiền hòa, bí ẩn và sâu lắng như chính tên album - khúc nhạc từ khu vườn bí ẩn. Với lời đề tựa đầu album: “Đâu đó trong con người của chúng ta hiện hữu một khu vườn bí mật. Đó là nơi chúng ta có thể nương náu khi cuộc sống trở nên khắc nghiệt, nơi chúng ta có thể trầm ngâm và suy nghĩ. Nhiều năm qua, tôi đã đến khu vườn bí ẩn ấy của riêng tôi, mong rằng sẽ tìm ra được những giai điệu hài hòa. Những khúc nhạc trong CD này là những gì tôi góp nhặt được từ khu vườn ấy. Năm 1994, tôi đã gặp được nghệ sĩ vĩ cầm người Ireland Fionnuala Sherry, người đã cất lên tiếng hát trong những khúc nhạc của tôi”.</p>
<p>Rolf đã chứng minh sự hào phóng của mình là đúng đắn khi nhạc phẩm <i>Nocturne</i>, với giọng hát mang âm vực cao và trong trẻo của Fionnuala, đã mang về cho Secret Garden giải nhất cuộc thi Eurovision 1995.</p>
<p>Ở hai album <i><b>Dawn of a new century</b></i> và <b><i>Once in a red moon</i></b>, giọng ca ấm áp của Rolf, vốn được anh giữ kín nhiều năm, cũng bắt đầu được đưa vào đĩa nhạc. Với <i>Dreamcatcher</i>, <i>The Prayer</i>, <i>Sona</i>, hai giọng ca một trầm một bổng nhưng vẫn có thể hòa quyện vào nhau, quấn quít nhau như không thể chia cắt. Cũng không thể không kể đến <i>You raise me up</i> - khúc nhạc xoáy sâu vào góc cạnh tinh thần của tình bè bạn. Cũng không nên bỏ qua phút giây bình yên trong làn cỏ xanh mát và con sóng hiền hòa của biển cả với bản <i>Greenwaves</i>, hay cảnh bình minh sáng chói trong <i>Gates of dawn</i>.</p>
<p>Đến với nhiều nhạc phẩm khác, có cảm giác như Secret Garden “bắt” người nghe phải tự tìm tòi và khám phá khu vườn bí ẩn của họ. Và chỉ những ai mang cùng nhịp đập tâm hồn với Rolf và Fionnuala mới có thể hiểu hết cảm xúc mà họ ẩn giấu sau những nốt nhạc. Âm nhạc của Secret Garden, vì thế, giống như cỗ xe thần kỳ, đưa con người đến một thế giới, một khu vườn bí ẩn, nơi chúng ta không thể tìm thấy được thứ gì khác ngoài âm nhạc và sự thư thái về tinh thần.</p>

Animal: Do you feed each other seeds?<br />
Giselle: No, there is something sweeter everybody needs<br />
I&#8217;ve been dreaming of a true love&#8217;s kiss<br />
And a prince I&#8217;m hoping comes with this<br />
That&#8217;s what brings everaftering so happy<br />
And that&#8217;s the reason we need lips so much<br />
Four lips are the only things that touch<br />
So to spend a life of endless bliss<br />

<p><b>Happy Working Song</b><br />
- Amy Adams -<br />
OST from &#8220;Enchanted&#8221; (Walt Disney 2007)</p>
<p>Come my little friends as we all sing a happy little working song<br />
Merry little voices clear and strong<br />
Come and roll your sleeves up - so to speak - and pitch in<br />
Cleaning crud up in the kitchen as we sing along</p>
<p>Trill a cheery tune in the tub as we scrub a stubborn mildew stain<br />
Pluck a hairball from the shower drain to that gay refrain of a happy working song</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll keep singing without fail - otherwise we&#8217;d spoil it<br />
Hosing down the garbage pail and scrubbing up the toilet - ooh!</p>
<p>How we all enjoy letting loose with a little &#8220;la da dum dum dum!<br />
While we&#8217;re emptying the vacuum up it&#8217;s such fun to hum a happy working song - ooh! -<br />
A happy working song</p>
<p>Oh how strange a place to be<br />
&#8217;till Edward comes for me, my heart is sighing<br />
Still, as long as I am here<br />
I guess a new experience could be worth trying</p>
<p>Hey! Keep drying!</p>
<p>You can do a lot when you&#8217;ve got such a happy working tune to hum<br />
While you&#8217;re sponging up the soapy scum<br />
We adore each filthy chore that we determine<br />
So friends, even though you&#8217;re vermin, we&#8217;re all happy working throng</p>
<p>Singing as we fetch the detergent box for the smelly shirts and the stinky socks<br />
Sing along<br />
If you can not sing then hum along<br />
As we&#8217;re finishing our happy working song!<br />
Ahh. . Wasn&#8217;t this fun?</p>

<p><b>That&#8217;s How You Know</b><br />
- Amy Adams -<br />
OST from &#8220;Enchanted&#8221; (Walt Disney 2007)</p>
<p>(A Capella, Giselle)<br />
How does she know you love her?<br />
How does she know she&#8217;s yours?<br />
(Marlon Saunders - Calypso Singer)<br />
How does she know that you love her?<br />
(Giselle)<br />
How do you show her you love her?<br />
(Together)<br />
How does she know that you really really truly love her?<br />
How does she know that you love her?<br />
How do you show her you love her?<br />
How does she know that you really really truly love her?<br />
(Giselle)<br />
It&#8217;s not enough to take the one you love for granted<br />
You must remind her or she&#8217;ll be inclined to say<br />
&#8220;How do I know he loves me?<br />
How do I know he&#8217;s mine?&#8221;</p>
<p>Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind?<br />
Send you yellow flowers when the sky is Grey?<br />
He&#8217;ll find a new way to show you a little bit every day<br />
That&#8217;s how you know<br />
That&#8217;s how you know he&#8217;s your love</p>
<p>(Calypso Singer)<br />
You got to show her you need her<br />
Don&#8217;t treat her like a mind reader<br />
Each little something to lead her to believe you love her</p>
<p>(Giselle)<br />
Everybody wants to live happily ever after<br />
Everybody wants to know their true love is true<br />
How do you know he loves you?<br />
How do you know he&#8217;s yours?</p>
<p>Well does he take you out dancing just so he can hold you close?<br />
Dedicate a song with words meant just for you?<br />
He&#8217;ll find his own way to tell you with the little things he&#8217;ll do<br />
That&#8217;s how you know<br />
That&#8217;s how you know he&#8217;s your love<br />
He&#8217;s your love</p>
<p>That&#8217;s how you know he loves you<br />
That&#8217;s how you know it&#8217;s true</p>
<p>Because he&#8217;ll wear your favorite color just so he can match your eyes<br />
Plan a private picnic by the fire&#8217;s glow<br />
His heart will be yours forever<br />
Something everyday will show<br />
That&#8217;s how you know (x5)<br />
That&#8217;s how you know he&#8217;s your love<br />
That&#8217;s how you know<br />
That&#8217;s how you know he&#8217;s your love</p>

<p><b>So Close<br />
</b>- Jon McLaughlin -<br />
OST from &#8220;Enchanted&#8221; (Walt Disney 2007)</p>
<p>You&#8217;re in my arms<br />
And all the world is gone<br />
The music playing on<br />
For only two<br />
So close together</p>
<p>And when I&#8217;m with you<br />
So close to feeling alive</p>
<p>A life goes by<br />
Romantic dreams must die<br />
So I bid mine goodbye<br />
And never knew<br />
So close was waiting<br />
Waiting here with you<br />
And now, forever, I know<br />
All that I want is to hold you<br />
So close</p>
<p>So close to reaching<br />
That famous happy and<br />
Almost believing<br />
This one&#8217;s not pretend<br />
Now you&#8217;re beside me<br />
And look how far we&#8217;ve come<br />
So far<br />
We are<br />
So close&#8230;</p>
<p>Oh, how could I face the faceless days<br />
If I should lose you now?</p>
<p>We&#8217;re so close to reaching<br />
That famous happy ending<br />
Almost believing<br />
This one&#8217;s not pretend<br />
Let&#8217;s go on dreaming<br />
Though we know we are<br />
So close<br />
So close, and still<br />
So far&#8230;</p>

<p><b>Ever Ever After</b><br />
- Carrie Underwood -<br />
OST from &#8220;Enchanted&#8221; (Walt Disney 2007)</p>
<p>Ever ever after</p>
<p>Storybook endings, fairy tales coming true<br />
Deep down inside we want to believe they still do<br />
And a secret is taught, it&#8217;s our favourite part of the story<br />
Let&#8217;s just admit we all want to make it too</p>
<p>Ever ever after<br />
If we just don&#8217;t get it our own way<br />
Ever ever after<br />
It may only be a wish away</p>
<p>Starting your fashion, wear your heart on your sleeve<br />
Sometimes you reach what&#8217;s real just by making believe<br />
Unafraid, unashamed<br />
There is joy to be claimed in this world<br />
You even might wind up being glad to be you</p>
<p>Ever ever after<br />
Though the world will tell you it&#8217;s not smart<br />
Ever ever after</p>
<p>The world can be yours if you let your heart<br />
Believe in ever after</p>
<p>No wonder your heart feels it&#8217;s flying<br />
Your head feels it&#8217;s spinning<br />
Each happy ending&#8217;s a brand new beginning<br />
Let yourself be enchanted, you just might break through</p>
<p>To ever ever after<br />
Forever could even start today<br />
Ever ever after<br />
Maybe it&#8217;s just one wish away<br />
Your ever ever after<br />
Ever ever ever after</p>
<p>(I&#8217;ve been dreaming of a true love&#8217;s kiss)</p>
<p>Oh, for ever ever after</p>

<p><b>Yoko Sano</b></p>
<p>Có một chú mèo vằn đã được sống một triệu cuộc đời, chú đã chết một triệu  lần, và sống lại một triệu lần. Nhưng chú mèo chưa bao giờ thích ai.</p>
<p>Có  một lần, mèo là mèo của đức vua, đức vua thích mèo lắm, làm một chiếc giỏ xinh  đẹp, đặt mèo nằm trong. Mỗi dịp chinh chiến vua đều mang mèo theo bên mình.  Nhưng mèo không vui, có một trận đánh, mèo trúng tên qua đời, vua ôm lấy mèo,  khóc tan nát, đau lòng vô cùng, nhưng mèo không hề khóc, mèo ghét vua.</p>
<p>Có một lần, mèo là mèo của bác đánh cá, bác đánh cá yêu mèo lắm, mỗi lần  ra khơi bắt cá, bác đều mang mèo theo, nhưng mèo vẫn phiền muộn. Có một lần đang  đánh cá, mèo rơi xuống biển, bác đánh cá vội dùng lưới vớt mèo lên, nhưng mèo đã  chết mất rồi. Bác đánh cá ôm lấy chú mèo khóc lóc thảm thiết, đau đớn, nhưng mèo  thì chẳng khóc, mèo ghét bác.</p>
<p>Có một lần, mèo là mèo của đoàn xiếc. Nhà  ảo thuật của đoàn rất thích biểu diễn phép thuật, tức là nhét mèo vào hòm, xẻ  đôi cả mèo lẫn hòm ra, rồi lại ghép hai nửa lại với nhau, và mèo lại biến thành  một chú mèo sống nhảy nhót, nhưng mèo thấy nhạt nhẽo lắm, có một lần khi nhà ảo  thuật biểu diễn trò này, đã vô tình cắt đôi mèo ra thật, mèo chết. Nhà ảo thuật  ôm lấy chú mèo bị cắt làm hai nửa, khóc ròng ròng, đau khổ, nhưng mèo không hề  khóc, mèo ghét đoàn xiếc.</p>
<p>Có một lần, mèo là mèo của một bà già, mèo không vui sướng gì, bởi bà già  thích im lặng bế mèo, ngồi trước khung cửa sổ ngó người lại qua, cứ thế mà sống  từ ngày này sang ngày khác, năm này sang năm khác. Có một ngày, mèo nằm bất động  trong lòng bà già, mèo đã chết, bà lão ôm lấy mèo khóc đau đớn, rất đau đớn,  nhưng mèo không hề khóc, mèo ghét bà già.</p>
<p>Có một lần, mèo không phải là mèo của ai cả, mèo là một chú mèo hoang, mèo  rất vui, ngày nào mèo cũng có cá ăn không hết, ngày nào cũng có những cô mèo cái  đến tặng cá cho mèo vằn. Vây quanh chú mèo luôn là đám đông các cô mèo cái xinh  đẹp, nhưng mèo không hề thích họ. Lần nào mèo vằn cũng kiêu ngạo nói: &#8220;Ta là một  chú mèo đã sống một triệu đời đấy nhé!&#8221;</p>
<p>Có một ngày, mèo gặp một cô mèo trắng, mèo trắng chẳng thèm liếc mèo lần nào,  mèo rất giận dữ đi đến trước mặt mèo trắng, chú nói: &#8220;Ta là một chú mèo đã sống  một triệu đời đấy nhé!&#8221; Mèo trắng chỉ thờ ơ đáp nhẹ: &#8220;Ờ!&#8221; rồi quay đầu đi. Sau  này, mỗi lần gặp mèo trắng, chú mèo đều cố ý chạy đến trước mặt mèo trắng bảo:  &#8220;Ta là một chú mèo đã sống một triệu đời đấy nhé!&#8221; và mèo trắng lần nào cũng chỉ  thờ ơ đáp nhẹ: &#8220;Ờ!&#8221; rồi quay đầu đi.</p>
<p>Chú mèo trở nên buồn rầu, một ngày, mèo gặp mèo trắng, ban đầu, mèo nhảy nhót  chơi đùa xung quanh mèo trắng, rồi dần dà tới bên, nhè nhẹ hỏi một câu: &#8220;Chúng  mình sống cùng nhau nhé?&#8221; và mèo trắng cũng nhè nhẹ gật đầu: &#8220;Ờ!&#8221;, mèo vui làm  sao, vui làm sao, chúng ngày nào cũng sống bên nhau, mèo trắng sinh ra rất nhiều  mèo con, mèo rất cẩn thận chăm sóc cho lũ mèo con, lũ mèo lớn lên, từng con một  rời xa, mèo rất kiêu ngạo, bởi mèo biết: Lũ mèo con là con cái của một chú mèo  đã sống một triệu đời!</p>
<p>Mèo trắng già dần, mèo rất chăm sóc mèo trắng, ngày nào mèo cũng ôm lấy mèo  trắng kể chuyện cho mèo trắng nghe, cho đến khi thiếp ngủ. Một ngày, mèo trắng  nằm bất động trong lòng mèo, mèo trắng đã chết rồi. Mèo ôm lấy mèo trắng khóc,  mèo cứ khóc mãi, cứ khóc mãi, cứ khóc mãi, cho đến một ngày, mèo không khóc nữa,  mèo không bao giờ động đậy nữa, mèo chết cùng mèo trắng, mèo cũng không bao giờ  sống lại một lần nào nữa.</p>
<p><b>Sống một triệu đời không tình yêu, cũng không thể nào bằng sống một đời yêu  thương; sống một triệu đời mà không cảm nhận được cuộc sống, càng không thể nào  bằng sống một đời nhưng được yêu thương. Mà mỗi chúng ta liệu đều cảm nhận được  giá trị của cuộc sống?</b> Tôi nghĩ chưa chắc, có người không biết cảm nhận giá trị  cuộc sống, có người không biết tận hưởng cảm giác &#8220;trao tặng yêu thương&#8221;, tôi  thấy sao giống mèo thế, chỉ là vấn đề sớm hay muộn mà thôi.</p>
<p>Mèo sau khi sống một triệu đời, cuối cùng mèo tìm thấy mèo trắng. Vì sao mèo  trắng cho mèo những cảm xúc đặc biệt ấy, đó là vì mèo trắng cuối cùng đã làm cho  mèo phát hiện ra giá trị của cuộc sống, giá trị đó chính là việc bạn trao tặng  những yêu thương, yêu người thân bạn bè, thậm chí yêu những kẻ yếu ớt. Bởi lẽ  đó, mèo bắt đầu tận hưởng cuộc sống mà từ xưa đến nay mèo chưa từng ngộ ra, và  một đời ấy đã ý nghĩa bằng cả triệu đời.</p>
<p>Trong đời mỗi người, rồi sẽ ít nhiều gặp những chuyện cho bạn cảm xúc sâu  sắc, làm bạn hạnh phúc bởi bạn đã được sống trên cõi đời này, làm bạn hiểu ra  cuộc sống đẹp tươi. Tôi nghĩ những điều đó có thể làm bạn thấy bạn đã sống đủ  đầy, đáng sống, không bạn nhầm rồi!</p>
<p>Trong cuộc đời vẫn còn những điều sâu sắc hơn đang chờ bạn- bạn trao tặng yêu  thương, yêu người thân bạn bè, thậm chí yêu kẻ yếu ớt - nếu bạn nghĩ là không  có, tôi tưởng hẳn bạn chưa từng ngỡ ngàng gặp mèo trắng nào. Hoặc có thể nếu bạn  chú ý một chút, quanh bạn bao nhiêu mèo trắng!</p>
<p>Nếu bạn đủ may mắn, trong suốt đời mình, bạn sẽ bắt được những chiếc chìa  khoá có thể mở cánh cửa trong tim bạn. Nhưng bao người đã đi trọn cuộc đời, trái  tim chưa từng mở cửa. Thật sự có rất nhiều người đã không biết rằng, chiếc chìa  khoá lại nằm trong tay mình.</p>
<p>Mèo đã sống một triệu đời, nhưng chưa từng thực sự sống, mèo luôn bị người ta  bế trong tay, bị người khác yêu thương, nhưng nó chưa từng hạnh phúc, cho đến  khi mèo bắt đầu yêu, bắt đầu cảm nhận cuộc sống, có gia đình, có vợ, có những  đứa con, bắt đầu trao tặng những thương yêu.</p>
<p>Tôi vẫn nghĩ: Người ta có thể cũng như mèo! Nghĩ kỹ, từ khi chào đời đến giờ,  bạn hạnh phúc không? Phải bạn luôn kiếm tìm một thứ cảm xúc, một thứ cảm động,  một thứ cảm động trong sâu thẳm tâm can, để thực sự sống cuộc đời của chính  mình, cho đến lúc tóc bạc phơ, hồi tưởng lại cả cuộc đời, có thể yên lòng tự nhủ  với mình: &#8220;Tôi, không hề sống phí hoài!&#8221; trao tặng yêu thương, yêu người thân  bạn bè, thậm chí dành tình yêu thương cho người yếu ớt, trong lòng vương vấn,  cho dù đó là gánh nặng, nhưng nó là gánh nặng ngọt ngào, cho bạn vui lòng sống  trọn cuộc đời như thế, cho bạn yên lòng chết.</p>
<p>Tôi chỉ muốn được sống một lần hạnh phúc.</p>
