A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
专辑
Album
I don't tend to have a favorite album; I tend to have favorite tracks. There are flaws in every album that spoil it for me.
我没有特别喜欢的专辑;我喜欢听自己喜欢的歌。每一张专辑都有瑕疵，这让我很扫兴。
The album requires a certain focus of mine that I can't really explain - let's just say it's all I can really do while I'm doing it.
这张专辑需要我的一个特定的焦点，我不能真正解释-让我们说这是我唯一能做的，而我正在做。
I don't know of too many double Christmas albums, so it is something that's new, and hopefully will be fun, and there's plenty of stuff out there to cut.
我不知道有多少双圣诞专辑，所以这是新的，希望会很有趣，有很多东西可以剪切。
My joke, which isn't really a joke, is that there will be one of two tours: the tour for the album that does well, or the tour for the album that stiffs.
我的笑话，其实并不是笑话，有两场巡演，一场是表现出色的专辑巡演，另一场是表现出色的专辑巡演。
But the approach to recording this album was kind of an organized, chaotic approach where I wanted to maintain and preserve that wild abandon to creating.
但是录制这张专辑的方法是一种有组织的、混乱的方法，我想要保持和保存那种对创作的野性。
A good producer brings out the best in the artist he's working with. You shouldn't be able to listen to something and say, 'So-and-so produced this album.'
一个好的制作人能把与他合作的艺术家最好的一面展现出来。你不应该一边听着什么东西一边说，‘这张专辑是某某人制作的’。
I'm always sort of reflecting on what I do on what I've done. Usually before I make a new album, I'll listen to the previous albums just to see where I've been.
我总是在反思我所做的和我所做的。通常在我制作新专辑之前，我会先听听以前的专辑，看看我都做了些什么。
I don't want to have that thing where I make an album and then I'm super-constantly present in everyone's life for three years, and then gone for the next three.
我不希望有这样的事情，我做了一张专辑，然后我超级频繁地出现在每个人的生活中三年，然后在接下来的三年里消失。
So we are not doing the traditional album, tour, album, tour, album, tour anymore. We're going to tour when we want to, regardless of whether we've got a record out.
所以我们不再做传统的专辑，巡演，专辑，巡演，专辑，巡演。我们想什么时候巡演就什么时候巡演，不管我们有没有出唱片。
No, every album is something like a snapshot. It only shows one moment in time. It shows what we feel and think right at that point in time, nothing more and nothing less.
不，每一张专辑都有点像快照。它只显示了一个时刻。它显示了我们当时的感觉和想法，不多也不少。
I wanted to do the whole album in black and white, and it really killed me that when you see it in the light it's got green in it. I don't know what the hell that was about.
我想把整张专辑都做成黑白的，当你在灯光下看到它的时候，你会发现里面是绿色的，这真的让我很难受。我不知道这到底是怎么回事。
The idea to do the album only on keyboards kind of happened by accident. I was quite happy with the sound and felt it really didn't need more instruments, so I didn't use them.
只在键盘上做专辑的想法纯属偶然。我对这声音很满意，觉得它真的不需要更多的乐器，所以我没有使用它们。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I don't think I'd ever make an album of just covers because I love writing my own music.
我想我永远不会做一张只有封面的专辑，因为我喜欢写我自己的音乐。
But when our first album came out, I didn't think it was going to sell a lot of records.
但是当我们的第一张专辑发行的时候，我并不认为它会卖出很多唱片。
If you listen to the left track on their album, if you get The Best of the Mamas and Papas, you listen to the left track, you can still hear a little bit of my voice. My son discovered that once.
如果你听他们专辑里的左首歌，如果你得到最好的妈妈和爸爸，你听左首歌，你仍然可以听到我的一点点声音。我儿子发现过一次。
The album was very agressive. It kicks you right in the balls.
这张专辑非常激进。它正好踢在你的蛋蛋上。
I don't really cringe over any of my albums.
我对我的任何一张专辑都不畏惧。
I've appeared on some other people's albums.
我还出现在别人的专辑里。
