KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
My favorite music to sing would be my own songs, my original songs, just because I know them, you know I write the tunes, so my favorite songs are the newest ones that I write. That's what I like to sing the most, because it means something, it's real, it comes from me.
我最喜欢唱的音乐是我自己的歌,我的原创歌曲,因为我知道它们,你知道我写歌,所以我最喜欢的歌是我写的最新的歌。这是我最喜欢唱的,因为它意味着什么,它是真实的,它来自我。
I sing both in my shower and in my car, mostly in my car, because I have this weird thing - whenever I'm singing to the radio - my friends kind of hate it - but I pick out the harmonies in my head, and I'm singing the harmonies to the tracks and I'm jamming it out.
我唱歌在我的淋浴和我的车,主要是在我的车,因为我有这奇怪的事情——每当我唱歌收音机——我讨厌它,但我的朋友们挑出和声在我的脑海里,我唱歌曲的和声,我干扰。
I think that one of Elvis' charms was that he could sing almost any kind of music. I am sure that in his heart, which I don't know what was there, but just from his singing I could feel that he was very partial to gospel music.
我认为埃尔维斯的魅力之一就是他几乎能唱任何一种音乐。我确信在他心中,我不知道那里有什么,但从他的歌声中,我可以感觉到他非常偏爱福音音乐。
