很多人听过《睫毛弯弯》这首歌,但很多人并不知道这首歌的作曲者,曾经是一个放弃作曲,差点把自己也丢掉的歌手。
曹格的成长岁月
曹格是马来西亚人,他酷爱音乐,从小学直到大学,他一帆风顺,没有受到过大的挫折。大学毕业后,他只身来到台湾发展,想借自己的音乐才能取得成功。但是,他所喜欢的音乐不仅没有给他带来快乐,反而给他带来了无尽的痛苦。
曹格写了80多首歌,送给制作人后,几乎每一首歌都遭到批评:这首歌太难听了,这种歌没有任何市场。无情的否定让他心力交瘁。因为远离故乡,又迫于生计,他的苦闷无处排遣,他得了抑郁症。祸不单行的是,许多人在批评他写的歌时,还批评他的长相:你长得很丑,就像你写的歌那样。这样的批评,让曹格的自尊心受到了残酷的伤害,他彻底绝望了,他感觉自己就像一条流浪在台湾的狗,他不敢照镜子,害怕看到自己的丑样。
曹格开始放弃,他每天借酒消愁,中午睡醒了再喝再睡,不尊重自己的生命。这样的生活维持了两年时间。有人看他如此颓废,让他回马来西亚。但他看到自己这副模样,他觉得自己是一个彻底的失败者,没有勇气再回故乡。
幸运的是,曹格碰上了“伯乐”----一位唱片公司的老板听了曹格的歌后,非常的喜欢。他对曹格说,你的音乐里有一种感染人的力量,非常棒。他的歌被灌制成唱片发行,他同样得到了歌迷的肯定:你的音乐好听,人也长得很帅很可爱。
这些肯定让他振作起来,他写出了让王心凌演唱的《睫毛弯弯》。他靠这首歌获得了巨大的收益,还让亚太地区的歌手记住了他,纷纷让他为自己写歌。
曹格在新加坡宣传他的最新专辑《superman》(超人)时说:“超人很伟大,每天飞来飞去救别人,可是,连superman也需要别人的帮助啊!”面对自己的人生逆转,他坦诚地说,每一个人都要重视自己,不要被别人的意见所左右,因为只有你自己,才能对自己的成败负责。
是的,每个人只有按自己的方式去生活,做自己真正想做的事情,内心的焦虑和冲突才会消失。每个人生活在人际关系中,每天会听到众多对你不同的看法,如果为了别人的看法,而不断调整自己的梦想,那是极其愚蠢和可悲的。人的成长,就像一棵树,只要有点阳光,有点雨露,即便是在坚硬的岩石上,也要把根深深扎进岩石的缝隙里,努力向上生长。
