Declan Galbraith是居住在英国肯特郡的爱尔兰男孩。在许多方面他是一个正常的 10 岁男孩。他喜欢电脑游戏,游泳和足球。他和他的父母和六岁姊妹居住。他的堂兄弟姊妹Joe是他最好的朋友。但是 Declan不只是一个普通的10岁男孩。Declan Galbraith小的时候,是和他的祖父班度过。班是音乐家。他和爱尔兰的民谣乐团演奏传统的爱尔兰音乐。他们到处在酒吧和俱乐部等地方演唱。Declan 与他的祖父乐团搭配并学习演唱。在他的祖父死之后,他继承了祖父的演唱事业。目前Declan Galbraith已是英国最畅销的童声歌手之一。他的歌声清彻迷人,高音清亮,极富感染力。如果天使会唱歌,那个天使一定是—Declan Galbraith。
又查的到:
Declan Galbraith今年12岁,4岁开始展露歌唱天赋;8岁那年,他开始参加一些音乐比赛,并在14个月中曾经获得16个大奖。他获得了词作家Barry Mason(写过Last Waltz-最后的华尔兹的作者)的欣赏,从此一发不可收。据传好几家唱片公司争相与他签约,最后Emi(百代)以超过百万英镑之巨,签了他3年,并承诺发行3张唱片。
大家都相信这个小男孩的音乐天赋和对爱尔兰传统音乐的理解及热爱,来自他的祖父Ben。才6个星期左右,就是Ben照顾他了。Ben常常在酒吧演奏六孔笛和爱尔兰鼓,并常常带上他。Declan从小就耳濡目染;祖父96年去世,可是Declan忘不了他,他的第一张专辑(Declan)就是献给他祖父的。
稚嫩的10岁男孩用自己的弱小但又十分有力的声音呼唤着战争的结束和平的到来.渴望战争和灾难远离人间.《TELL ME WHY》是他11岁时为海啸遇难者和受灾者而歌.

In my dream,children sing
A song of love for every boy and girl
The sky is blue and fields are green:
And laughter is the language of the world
Then i wake and all i see
Is a world full of people in need
chorus:
Tell me why(why) does it have to be like this?
Tell me why (why) is there something i have missed?
Tell me why (why) cos i don't understand
When so many need somebody
We don't give a helping hand Tell me why?
Everyday i ask myself
What will i have to do to be a man?
Do i have to stand and fight
To prove to everybody who i am?
Is that what my life is for
To waste in a world full of war?
chorus:
Tell me why(why) does it have to be like this?
Tell me why (why) is there something i have missed?
Tell me why (why) cos i don't understand
When so many need somebody
We don't give a helping hand Tell me why?
chorus:
(children)tell me why?(declan)tell me why?
(children)tell me why?(declan)tell me why?
(together) just tell me why, why, why?
chorus:
chorus chant:
Tell me why (why,why,does the tiger run)
Tell me why(why why do we shoot the gun)
Tell me why (why,why do we never learn)
Can someone tell us why we let the forest burn?
(why,why do we say we care)
Tell me why(why,why do we stand and stare)
Tell me why(why,why do the dolphins cry)
Can some one tell us why we let the ocean die?
(why,why if we're all the same)
Tell me why(why,why do we pass the blame)
Tell me why (why,why does it never end)
Can some one tell us why we cannot just be friends?
