A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
It wasn't until after private lessons and learning bass lines that I even noticed bass in the music I was listening to at that age. My ears were blown wide open.
直到上了私人课,学了低音线之后,我才注意到我在那个年纪听的音乐中有低音。我的耳朵被风吹得大大的。
I've always liked pop music. There was a bit of a misunderstanding with the avant-garde rock scene, because I think I was sort of swimming the wrong way, really.
我一直喜欢流行音乐。对于前卫的摇滚场景有一点误解,因为我觉得我游错了方向,真的。
I think another thing is that we don't really want exclusivity. We accept that it is in the artist's interest to be on sale in every place where they sell music.
我认为另一件事是我们并不是真的想要独占。我们承认,在每一个出售音乐的地方都进行销售符合艺术家的利益。
If we are exhorted to play simple melodies with beauty rather than difficult ones with error, the same should be applied to writing; simple words greater effect.
如果我们被劝诫演奏简单优美的旋律,而不是有错误的困难旋律,那么写作也应该如此;简单的话效果更大。
All of them had so much to offer us as far as, you know, knowledge in the music industry, and especially Randy and Paula because, you know, they've been artists.
他们都给我们提供了很多,你知道,音乐行业的知识,尤其是兰迪和宝拉,因为他们都是艺术家。
Music is about communication... it isn't just something that maybe physically sounds good or orally sounds interesting; it's something far, far deeper than that.
音乐是关于交流的……这不仅仅是身体上听起来很好或者口头上听起来很有趣;它的意义远不止于此。
I didn't plan on rock-n-roll. I wanted to learn jazz; I got to know some people doing rock-n-roll with jazz, and I thought I could make some money playing music.
我不打算玩摇滚。我想学爵士;我认识了一些用爵士乐演奏摇滚乐的人,我想我可以通过演奏音乐赚钱。
Nobody will ever take Maurice's place, and he'll go on with us and he'll go on our music. He'll go on with us as the Bee Gees, and Maurice will always be with us.
没有人会取代莫瑞斯的位置,他会继续和我们在一起,继续我们的音乐。他将以比吉斯家族的身份继续和我们在一起,莫里斯也将永远和我们在一起。
He took his pain and turned it into something beautiful. Into something that people connect to. And that's what good music does. It speaks to you. It changes you.
他把痛苦变成了美好。变成人们联系的东西。这就是好音乐的作用。它对你说话。它改变了你。
I didn't know how well my first album had done; it was enough to get me to do the second album, which was a continuation of the music I'd worked on and perfected.
我不知道我的第一张专辑做得有多好;这足以让我做第二张专辑,这是一个延续的音乐,我已经工作和完善。
I always wanted my music to influence the life you were living emotionally - with your family, your lover, your wife, and, at a certain point, with your children.
我一直希望我的音乐能影响你的情感生活——和你的家人,你的爱人,你的妻子,在某种程度上,和你的孩子。
I don't know if it's my music, my lyrics, my sound, and knowing the music business the way I do-all I can say is, my career has lasted way longer than I expected.
我不知道这是不是我的音乐,我的歌词,我的声音,以及我对音乐行业的了解——我能说的就是,我的职业生涯比我想象的要长得多。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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。
I don't stand for the black man's side, I don' t stand for the white man's side. I stand for God's side.
我不代表黑人的立场,我也不代表白人的立场。我支持上帝。
So don't you worry your pretty little mind because people throw rocks at things that shine.
所以不要担心你美丽的小脑袋,因为人们会朝发光的东西扔石头。
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.
听过的旋律是甜美的,但听不到的更甜美。
Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.
音乐是一种道德法则。它给宇宙以灵魂,给思想以翅膀,给想象以飞翔,给生活和一切带来魅力和欢乐。
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.
如果我不是物理学家,我可能会成为一名音乐家。我经常在音乐方面思考。我在音乐中实现我的白日梦。我用音乐来看待我的生活。
