KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I wanted to show the world, and myself too, what I can do. I came up in the world of Philadelphia soul, but I'm fluent in a lot of languages musically and I like working with different people from different generations.

Maybe you are the "cool" generation If coolness means a capacity to stay calm and use your head in the service of ends passionately believed in, then it has my admiration.

I have seen lonely people of advancing age, yet as constant as angels, keeping faith to those they loved who fell in wars that current generations, not having known them, cannot even forget. The sight of them moving hesitantly among the tablets and crosses is enough to break your heart.
我见过孤独的人，年纪渐长，却如天使般恒常，对他们所爱的人守信。看到他们在石板和十字架之间犹豫地移动，足以让你心碎。
