A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
歌曲
Songs
If he will ask me to share my earphones with him, I will play his favorite song over and over again because maybe, just maybe, it would make him want to stay.
如果他要我和他分享我的耳机，我会一遍又一遍地播放他最喜欢的歌，因为也许，只是也许，这会让他想留下来。
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。
But when it came to jamming and writing songs like we used to, we realized Brandon was a huge spirit in the band. Who knew? It was just something we had to learn.
但是，当我们像以前那样即兴表演和创作歌曲时，我们意识到布兰登是乐队里的一位伟大人物。谁知道呢?这是我们必须学习的东西。
If I had my choice, I'd pick a song that tells a story every time. There is a great deal of pleasure in doing the vocal on a number that you can put feeling into.
如果让我选，我每次都会选一首讲故事的歌。在一个你可以投入感情的数字上演唱有很大的乐趣。
The funny thing is, people's perceptions of what a song is about is usually wrong a majority of the time. But they're still going to read what they want to into it.
有趣的是，人们对一首歌的理解通常是错误的。但他们还是会读到他们想读的东西。
We just wrote songs that seemed good to us. We wrote the album in like two weeks. We could have had more time, but we accomplished what we needed to in the two weeks.
我们只是写了一些我们觉得不错的歌。我们在大约两周内就完成了这张专辑。我们本可以有更多的时间，但我们在两周内完成了我们需要做的。
I've written more songs for this record than I ever have in the past so I'm trying to give it a lot of special attention to be sure my ideas really get translated right.
我为这张唱片写的歌比以往任何时候都多，所以我要特别注意这张唱片，确保我的想法能被正确地翻译出来。
I was never encouraged to do it and I played the accordion, which I hated. I wish I had taken piano because I definitely would have written more songs of my own, but I didn't.
我从来没有被鼓励这样做，我拉手风琴，我讨厌。我希望我学过钢琴，因为我肯定会写更多自己的歌，但我没有。
The only thing they really get to pick is the single. But I get to pick the producer, the songs on the record, the final masters, the artwork. Basically, I hand them a record.
他们唯一能选择的就是单身。但我可以选择制作人，唱片上的歌曲，最终的大师，艺术品。基本上，我给他们一张唱片。
Normally when we go in and write the songs we write, we think about doing a cover, but never a covers record. That would be, for us, a concept. We don't want to have a concept!
正常情况下，当我们写歌的时候，我们想做一个封面，但从来没有一个封面唱片。对我们来说，这是一个概念。我们不想要一个概念!
It seems to me that those songs that have been any good, I have nothing much to do with the writing of them. The words have just crawled down my sleeve and come out on the page.
在我看来，那些曾经很好的歌曲，我与它们的创作没有多大关系。这些话刚刚从我的袖子里爬了出来。
Since I was doing all of it myself, I had to decide where I wanted to go with the songs, how to proceed with the chords, if the sound was alright, and all that detail on my own.
因为所有这些都是我自己做的，所以我必须决定我想要把歌曲带到哪里，如何继续和弦，如果声音是好的，所有这些细节都是我自己做的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
If you listen to a lot of the songs that are popular now, there's very little melody in there. People love the beat. But to musicians, it's melody, because we understand how elusive it is and how hard it is to hold.
如果你听很多现在流行的歌曲，里面几乎没有旋律。人们喜欢节拍。但对音乐家来说，这是旋律，因为我们知道它是多么难以捉摸，多么难以把握。
And suddenly, all the love songs were about you.
突然间，所有的情歌都是关于你的。
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。
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。
I will always have my songs and I don't think I will ever dry-up.
我将永远拥有我的歌曲，我想我永远不会枯竭。
