Josh Groban, A Beautiful Voice

The first time I heard Josh Groban was on one episode of Ally McBeal. That was the December after 9/11, and the episode was dedicated to its memory. Josh sang a most beautiful song, To Where You Are, at a memorial service for the fallen firefighters of this little town. It was very very moving and I had to watch the song again and again. I really love his voice. It is pure and powerful. Over the years I came upon his duet with Charlotte Church, The Prayer, which is also very beautiful. I hoped I could hear more of his songs, and yesterday I found not only one, but two albums from my local library! I was very very happy!

Looking through the CD inserts, I learned that "To Where You Are" was written by Richard Marx. No wonder it is so romantic (remember his "Right Here Waiting"?)。 一如Jade语，“浪漫地撒狗血“（出自Jade's post 一天生活流水账)。To hear his songs, you can go to his official website, and click Music to play a song on the upper right side, or you can go here.

Isn't he great?还是帅弟一名啊！

Added on March 31, 2006: I found myself hopelessly fell in love with Josh's voice. It is so romantic and powerful. It is the best crossover between classical and pop.


"To Where You Are"

Who can say for certain
Maybe you’re still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear

Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You’re still an inspiration
Can it be (? )
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn’t faith believing
All power can’t be seen

As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
’cause you are mine
Forever love
Watching me from up above

And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave

Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are

I know you’re there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are
