Youthful

As I discovered music, especially Rock 'n Roll, new territory was opened to me. I was lured by the unbridled rhythm of this art form. It was like gasoline on the fire of my youthful spirit.

Surely, it is in youth man is most thoroughly depraved. Hell lies about us in our infancy. The youthful innocency sung by aged poets who forget their first childhood is nothing but ignorance of evil. As the child comes to know evil, he loves it.

For some reason I can't explain, artist and musicians tend to look younger than our age. Being in music, you need this youthful sense of discovery and wonder for what you're doing and keep your imagination open. That's a youthful way of looking at life and I think that reflects in how you age.
出于某种我无法解释的原因,艺术家和音乐家往往看起来比我们的年龄年轻。在音乐界,你需要这种年轻的发现感和对你所做事情的好奇感,并保持你的想象力。这是年轻人看待生活的一种方式,我认为这反映了你的年龄。
