【题目】Last December, I performed 30 shows in 11 days. I knew it would be a tiring tour before I set off, but I just wanted to be there to support our men and women.

From the minute I walked onstage the afternoon I arrived at the army, the soldiers were cheering, singing along at the top of their voices. I had done hundreds of concerts, but it was my first time to perform for troops. Looking at the smiling faces of these soldierssome of them only teenagersI felt great joy moving through me. They were the loveliest fans I had ever met. Then,from out of nowhere , words came into my head. I want to play you something new. a song just came in my head minutes ago. It's called Here With Me, I told them. Cheers rang out. As I sang, I could see the tears in some of the soldiers' eyes. I finished to thunderous applause.

At the autograph (亲笔签名)part afterward,one of the soldiers took out a picture of a high school student. This is my girl. You know, I miss her so much,he said. That new song you sang meant so much to me. Those were the words I've always wanted to tell her.

I realized that the song wasn't about me and that it was, in fact,a gift for these men and women. I played it in every concert after that, always with the same unbelievable reaction.

On the long plane ride home I kept thinking about thesoldiers I'd met. They risked their lives every day to defend our country, yet they were grateful for a simple concert. I decided to record the new song to thank our men and women in uniform (制服).
