A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
I didn't get into music to become a blues musician, or a country musician. I'm a singer-songwriter. In my book that means I get to do whatever I want.
我从事音乐并不是为了成为一名蓝调音乐家,或者乡村音乐家。我是一个歌手兼作曲家。在我的书中,这意味着我可以做任何我想做的事。
Nashville was totally different than I ever dreamed. I had only seen the music business on television and been to a couple of concerts. I had no clue.
纳什维尔完全不同于我的梦想。我只在电视上看到过音乐行业,还去过几场音乐会。我不知道。
I'm a synthesist. I'm always making music. And I make a lot of different kinds of music all the time. Some of it gets finished and some of it doesn't.
我是一个综合者。我总是在创作音乐。我一直在创作各种各样的音乐。有些完成了,有些没有。
Usually bands with violins - it's this little, poorly amplified looking kind of futile on stage, and that's not the way that my music is put together.
通常有小提琴伴奏的乐队——在舞台上,这种小的,扩音器很差的乐器看起来是无用的,这不是我的音乐组合的方式。
The pastor of a parish will typically have no education in the chant or in music, and he will hire the first music director who walks through the door.

It bothers me when I hear it in a car commercial or some such. But for the most part, it's better than seeing sacred music relegated to the scrap heap.
当我在汽车广告或诸如此类的广告中听到这个词时,我感到很困扰。但在大多数情况下,这比看到神圣的音乐被扔进垃圾堆要好。
So evidently music was a killer app and is a killer app for computer and the Internet; it just took the tech industry a long time to hear that message.
显然,音乐是一个杀手级的应用程序,是电脑和互联网的杀手级应用程序;科技行业花了很长时间才明白这一点。
The fact that I wasn't expected to read music at all and was absorbing everything by ear... it had a huge affect on the kind of musician that I became.
事实上,我根本不需要读音乐,而是全靠耳朵听……这对我成为一名音乐家产生了巨大的影响。
I love loud music. I listen loud, and that's part of how I've learned how to do this. Record softly and play back loud and a whole other thing happens.
我喜欢吵闹的音乐。我大声听,这也是我学习如何做到这一点的一部分。轻柔地录音,大声回放,就会发生另一件事。
So I wanted to sing inspirational music, and that's exactly how I approached it - only the words have been changed to declare my relationship with God.
所以我想要唱一些鼓舞人心的音乐,这就是我如何做到的——只是歌词被改变了,以表明我与上帝的关系。
However, in modern conceptual frameworks there is a more sophisticated view. I would say that the act of music exists in several worlds simultaneously.
然而,在现代概念框架中有一个更复杂的视图。我认为音乐的行为同时存在于几个世界。
I think that you have to bear in mind that music is about escape, and it's not unreasonable to think the music business would be based around escapism.
我认为你必须记住,音乐是关于逃避的,认为音乐行业将建立在逃避主义的基础上并不是没有道理的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
You're not right in the head, and nor am I, and this is why....this is why I like you.
你脑子不正常,我也不正常,这就是为什么…这就是我喜欢你的原因。
If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.

The calm mind allows one to connect with the inner self, the Soul, the very source of our being. That's where the music lives. That's where my music comes from.

I don't know anything about music. In my line you don't have to.
我对音乐一窍不通。在我这一行,你不必这么做。
If you ask someone if they like music, they look at you strangely. It seems to be a universal given. Like asking someone if they like breathing. It is like breathing. Or air, rather. Flowing without and within. A matrix within which our lives are set. The setting for the tableware of our beings.
如果你问某人是否喜欢音乐,他们会奇怪地看着你。这似乎是一个普遍的假定。比如问别人是否喜欢呼吸。就像呼吸一样。或空气,而。内外流动。一个我们的生活被设定在其中的矩阵。
As for the music business itself, the key things have not changed that much. It operates like any business and money still keeps things moving.
