A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
首歌
Song
When you write a song you have an idea of how it should be sung but it doesn't work out that way if someone else records it.
当你写一首歌的时候，你知道该怎么唱，但是如果别人把它录下来，你就不知道该怎么唱了。
Any song I have to work on longer than a day, I just leave it. It's not gonna work. Everything that's good is really instant.
任何一首我要花超过一天的时间创作的歌曲，我都不去管它。不会成功的。所有好的东西都是即时的。
I'm always imagining some sort of story behind the song, even the ones I haven't written. I'm actively engaging in playacting.
我一直在想象这首歌背后的故事，甚至那些我没有写过的故事。我积极参与表演。
Pop music thrives on repetition. You know a song's a hit when you've heard it so often that you'll be happy never to hear it again.
流行音乐因重复而繁荣。当你经常听到一首歌，你会很高兴再也听不到它的时候，你就知道这首歌很受欢迎。
I love our industry. I love the song. I love the voice. I love it. Not necessarily my voice. But I care about the song and the voice.
我热爱我们的行业。我喜欢这首歌。我喜欢这声音。我爱它。不一定是我的声音。但我在乎歌曲和声音。
That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over, lest you should think he never could recapture the first fine careless rapture!
那是聪明的画眉;他把每首歌都唱了两遍，免得你以为他永远也不能重新获得第一次无忧无虑的狂喜!
People get passionate about a song. It's been my experience if you put out radio candy, something commercial, it doesn't sell records.
人们对一首歌充满激情。我的经验是，如果你放一些电台糖果，一些商业的东西，它不卖唱片。
When I first heard that song, it was a ballad but it had a lot more. It felt like a gospel song when I first heard it and it just moved me.
当我第一次听到这首歌的时候，它是一首民谣，但它包含了更多。当我第一次听到这首歌的时候，感觉就像一首福音歌曲，它打动了我。
A song that sounds simple is just not that easy to write. One of the objectives of this record was to try and write melodies that continue to resonate.
一首听起来很简单的歌其实并不容易写。这张唱片的目标之一是尝试创作出能继续引起共鸣的旋律。
I'm the same guy at that podium preaching to the people on every single song. I'm not doing a dance for you on another song. It's all a direct assault.
我还是那个站在讲台上，为每首歌向人们布道的人。我不会在另一首歌里为你跳舞。这都是直接的攻击。
Stevie didn't use the technology to drive the song. He used it to enhance. I use the tools to further my work, I don't use my work to further the tools.
史提夫并没有使用这项技术来驱动这首歌。他用它来增强。我用工具来推动我的工作，而不是用我的工作来推动工具。
I tend to write songs critiquing myself. The best way for me to deal with stuff is to write a song about it... That's not to say all my songs are like that.
我倾向于写一些批评自己的歌。对我来说，处理事情的最好方法就是写一首歌……这并不是说我所有的歌都是那样的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I have yet to write that one song that defines my career.
我还没有写出那首定义我职业生涯的歌。
Both songs are really, really intense when it comes to performing them, and very draining at the same time.
这两首歌的演唱都非常非常激烈，同时也非常令人疲惫。
There are no rules to writing a song.
写一首歌没有规则。
If it weren't for the rocks in its bed, the stream would have no song.
如果没有床上的岩石，溪流就不会有歌声。
And he was going to give me a song, because I'm a singer and I wanted to sing in everything.
他要给我一首歌，因为我是一个歌手，我想唱任何东西。
When I wrote the song, I had the sea near Bombay in mind. We stayed at a hotel by the sea, and the fishermen come up at five in the morning and they were all chanting. And we went on the beach and we got chased by a mad dog - big as a donkey.
当我写这首歌的时候，我想到了孟买附近的大海。我们住在海边的一家旅馆里，渔民们早上五点就来了，他们都在唱着歌。我们去了海滩，我们被一只疯狗追赶——大得像驴子。
