A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
歌曲
Songs
I don't think I've ever laid out a batch of songs that pick myself apart the way that these do.
我想我从来没有列出过一堆像这样把我自己拆穿的歌。
Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.
语言让你思考。音乐让你有一种感觉。一首歌会让你产生一种想法。
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。
The actual writing of a song usually comes in the form of a realisation. I can't contrive a song.
歌曲的实际创作通常是以实现的形式出现的。我想不出一首歌来。
When someone picks up one of my songs and records it, I'm a flattered man, it's a blessing to me.
当有人拿起我的一首歌并录制下来时，我感到受宠若惊，这对我来说是一种祝福。
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。
My shows are always a mix of songs from all my albums with some rocking covers thrown in for fun.
我的节目总是混合了我所有专辑里的歌曲和一些摇滚封面，只是为了好玩。
Every album is just a greatest hits of whatever songs are on a pile when I go in to make a record.
每一张专辑都是我灌制唱片时所收录的歌曲中最伟大的一首。
Yes, threadbare seem his songs, to lettered ken - they were worn threadbare next the hearts of men.
是的，在字母肯恩看来，他的歌是破旧的——它们在人们的心中已经破旧不堪了。
I get so many ideas for songs, but I'm so seldom disciplined enough to sit down and crank them out.
我有很多关于歌曲的想法，但是我很少有足够的自律去坐下来把它们写出来。
I don't listen to recordings of my songs. I don't avoid it, I just don't go out of my way to do it.
我不听我的歌的录音。我不会逃避，我只是不会刻意去做。
I keep a lighter in my back pocket all the time. I'm not a smoker, I just really like certain songs.
我一直在后面的口袋里放打火机。我不抽烟，我只是喜欢某些歌曲。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
We became the songs we wrote.
我们变成了我们写的歌。
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。
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。
I think some people record songs and make records a certain way to cater to radio. If you're born to make commercial music that's cool. But if you're born to not make commercial records, maybe you're meant to cater to another market.
我认为有些人录制歌曲和录制唱片是为了迎合广播。如果你生来就是做商业音乐的，那很酷。但如果你生来就不做商业唱片，也许你注定要迎合另一个市场。
I mean, there are so many of his songs that I like that I could easily do that one day.
我是说，他的歌太多了，我很喜欢，有一天我可以轻松做到。
I've never been good at rock'n'roll songs, anyway; either I'm blessed or I'm cursed, but whatever I write comes out sounding old.
不管怎么说，我从来就不擅长摇滚乐。要么我被祝福，要么我被诅咒，但无论我写什么，听起来都很老。
