轻烟车站。。。一首歌的魅力。。。 Misty station… The charm of a song

出了16张专辑过后,依我个人的观察和经验,到底有什么因素能让一首诗歌很有魅力或吸引人?
最重要的当然是属灵方面,即恩膏和生命力的部分。
这方面是需要很长与很多的讨论,但今天我要讲的是其他“技术性”的因素。。。
那,最简单不过的理由当然是动人的旋律,和优美感人的歌词。。。

最近因着几场表演,我发现原来配合诗歌所编的美丽舞蹈也可以让人倍受感动,而注意到或被某诗歌吸引!
2010年结束前受邀在一些场合的圣诞倒数和新年倒数演唱会表演,刚好不久前从中国来的一位信主的前国家舞蹈教练受上帝感动,主动要求教导我们教会年轻人几支动人舞蹈,刚好派上用场!

After releasing 16 albums, from my own observation and experience, what elements will actually cause a song to be charming and attractive?
Of course the most important is the spiritual aspect, i.e. the anointing and the life of a song.
This aspect needs a lot of and very long discussion, but today I just want to talk about the other “technical” elements…
In that case, the simplest reason will be appealing melody plus touching and great lyrics…

Due to a few recent performances, I discovered beautifully choreographed dances accompanying a song can be very touching as well, and can cause people to notice and be attracted by that song!
Before the end of 2010, I was invited to perform in a few Christmas and New Year Countdown concerts. It just so happened slightly before that, a Christian ex-national dance coach from China was convicted by God, and she personally requested to teach our young people some very attractive dances, so we were able to present those dances then!

结果我们呈献“轻烟”和“车站”,虽然舞蹈员还不够熟练,教练说还不够资格上台,但却有非常好的反应和深获观众们的好评,的确带来很大的震撼!
单看照片,我想你们也可以感受到舞蹈员的用心和认真,也让这两首歌增添几许魅力。。。

So we presented “A Mist” and “Station”. Though the dancers were still not very familiar with the dances, and the coach said they were not up to the standard to perform yet, they were met with very good response and received very good comments from the audience. It really made a big impact!
Just by looking at the photos, I believe you can also feel the commitment and seriousness of the dancers, and they truly added to the charm of these two songs…

“轻烟”是清一色女子伴舞。。。犹如一群天使围绕。。。
“A Mist” presents all lady dancers… as if surrounded by angels…

“车站”则是清一色男生,也是我们第一次只有男生跳的舞蹈!
“Station” on the other hand presents only guys, and it was the first time we ever had a “just guys” dance!


他们的一些动作真的让我很讶异!
Some of their steps did really surprise me!

一流的灯光也为表演添色不少。。。
Amazing lighting also added to the colours of the performances…

当然能有这样的荣幸服事神、传福音,一切感恩和荣耀都归给主!
Of course to have such an honour to serve God and spread the Gospel, all thanks and glory be unto God alone!
