A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
歌曲
Songs
My girlfriend at the time convinced me to send these songs to Cavity Search. When they wanted to put out my record I was totally shocked.
我当时的女朋友说服我把这些歌寄到蛀牙搜索。当他们想公布我的唱片时,我完全惊呆了。
No matter how long you play rock n roll songs might change just as the balls are there, the rock balls. And that's what's important to us.
不管你放多久的摇滚歌曲都可能随着球的存在而改变。这对我们来说很重要。
When I think about the songs I might record, I ask myself, 'Can I picture anybody I know back home sitting in their truck cranking this up?'
当我想到我可能录制的歌曲时,我问自己,‘我能想象出我在家里认识的人坐在他们的卡车里把音乐开到最大吗?’
All my songs were solo voices. Just me singing. In fact, that was the gimmick - no gimmick. Just singing straight with not too much background.
我所有的歌都是独唱。只有我唱歌。事实上,那只是个噱头——没有噱头。直接唱歌,没有太多背景。
My most cryptic, strange songs might be my most personal, but that isn't how people are going to receive them, because they don't know the code.
我最神秘、最奇怪的歌曲可能是我最私人的,但人们不会以这种方式接收它们,因为他们不知道代码。
People - especially white people - they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me.
人们——尤其是白人——因为我的生活方式,他们希望我成为一个榜样。我在歌中所说的一切,他们都期待着我。
So it was just a case of getting a bunch of songs that I had been writing for years but hadn't recorded together, and the result was My Own Best Enemy.
所以这只是一个例子,我得到了一堆我已经写了多年的歌,但没有一起录制,结果是我自己最好的敌人。
I'm not just a voice who wants to sing on anything. I co-produce, I want to select who comes in and plays on what songs, who to duet with and all of it.
我不只是一个想唱任何东西的声音。我参与制作,我想选择谁来演奏什么歌曲,和谁合唱等等。
Even though other people wrote my songs I put my stamp on them. I have a connection, but there is no truer connection than an artists and their own song.
即使别人写了我的歌,我也把我的邮票印在上面。我有一种联系,但没有什么比艺术家和他们自己的歌曲更真实的联系了。
We would make songs, and the producers said we should play it for my dad. I was kind of scared, I didn't know what to think cuz we were just joking around.
我们会创作歌曲,制作人说我们应该为我爸爸演奏。我有点害怕,我不知道该怎么想,因为我们只是在开玩笑。
I had just lost my dad and I remembered all the songs we used to go and hear at concerts, and the records around the house and sometimes we'd play together.
我刚刚失去了我的父亲,我记得所有我们过去常去听的音乐会的歌曲,家里的唱片,有时我们会一起演奏。
Those songs are about getting out; they're not about getting out of family. It wasn't about how family life was curtailing because I didn't know family life.
那些歌是关于出去的;他们不是要离开家庭。不是因为我不了解家庭生活,所以家庭生活受到了怎样的限制。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I don't know where my songs come from... If I knew, I'd know too much, more than we are allowed on this plane.
我不知道我的歌来自哪里…如果我知道,我就知道得太多了,比我们在飞机上能知道的还多。
This is the bunch of songs I did first, and it's just the type of thing I do. I am a Carter Family girl, so the record is book-ended with Carter Family songs.
这是我第一次做的几首歌,这就是我做的事情。我是卡特家的女孩,所以这张专辑以卡特家的歌曲结束。
I think some people found the production took away from the actual songs, which I can understand.
我想有些人发现制作过程中带走了真正的歌曲,我能理解。
The film is a romance with songs and dances, aimed at a family audience.
这部电影是一部浪漫的歌舞片,面向家庭观众。
I put a metronome up to all the songs, and I tried to really keep it true to the original tempos.
我给所有的歌曲都配上节拍器,我试着让它保持原来的节奏。
