Devotion是由五个来自美国加州橘子郡的小伙子在1997年组建的乐队,成员是John-Paul Riturban, Richmond Andal, Eric Cruz, Rodney Hidalgo和Ian Pesigan。乐队在2000年2月推出了第一张专辑《Image Of Devotion》,歌曲My prayer就是出自这张专辑。这是一首讲诉男孩向上帝祈祷要上帝好好照顾天堂的女朋友的歌。歌词如诗歌般真挚感人。轻缓的钢琴伴奏,痴情的祷告,以及那温柔中透着坚定的男声演绎,无一不让人动容。 这是一首有魔力的歌,抒情动人,不需要在静谧的夜晚,即便是在闹市的喧嚣中,也能让一颗颗心安静地为它停留;像月光轻轻流泻,像小河水静静流淌进心间…… 而我们要做的,即是做这段祷文片刻的告白者、聆听者,或者,无法漠视的旁观者。听吧,那钢琴声已渐起……
