A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
我们应该想想，每一天，如果我们没有跳过一次舞，就会失去意义。我们应该称每一个真理为假的，而不是伴随着至少一个笑声。
You don't want the biggest record deal as far as money goes, you just want to make sure that the people at the label really support your band and the music and stuff.
你不想要最大的唱片交易，就钱而言，你只是想确保在标签的人真的支持你的乐队和音乐和东西。
If not for music, I would probably be a very frustrated scientist. It's one way to answer the question, 'What is the meaning of life?' I feel music answers it better.
如果没有音乐，我可能会是一个非常沮丧的科学家。这是回答“生命的意义是什么?”我觉得音乐能更好地回答这个问题。
Country fans need to support country music by buying albums and concert tickets for traditional artists or the music will just fade away. And that would be really sad.
乡村音乐爱好者需要为传统艺人购买专辑和音乐会门票，以支持乡村音乐，否则音乐就会消失。那真的很悲哀。
While I've had a great distaste for what's usually called song in modern poetry or for what's usually called music, I really don't think of speech as so far from song.
虽然我很讨厌现代诗歌中通常所说的歌曲，或者通常所说的音乐，但我并不认为言语与歌曲有什么不同。
And obviously, when I started out, I had a little bit more curiosity than some, and went seeking out the original artists, or in some cases searching up country music.
很明显，当我开始的时候，我比其他人更有好奇心，我去寻找原始的艺术家，或者在某些情况下去寻找乡村音乐。
There’s music in the sighing of a reed; There’s music in the gushing of a rill; There’s music in all things, if men had ears: Their earth is but an echo of the spheres.
芦苇的叹息中有音乐;潺潺的小溪中流淌着音乐;如果人有耳朵，万物皆有音乐;地球不过是球体的回声。
My hope is that out of all the anger and seeming hostility that we hear in some of today's music will come some sort of coalition that will become politically involved.
我希望，在我们今天听到的一些音乐中，所有的愤怒和表面上的敌意中，会出现某种联盟，参与到政治中来。
I'd forgotten what it was like to play music and have it be fun so I decided to stop. I wasn't even sure if I was going to make a new record, I was just kinda quitting.
我已经忘记了演奏音乐是什么感觉了，所以我决定停止。我甚至不确定我是否要创造一个新的记录，我只是有点放弃了。
It's very easy to be cynical about the hall of fame. But on the other hand, it's really a beautiful thing for someone like me. I dedicated my entire life to this music.
人们很容易对名人堂持怀疑态度。但另一方面，对我这样的人来说，这真的是一件很美好的事情。我把我的一生都献给了这首音乐。
Perhaps many of the perplexing problems of the new music could be put into a new light if we were to reintroduce the ancient idea of music being a reflection of nature.
如果我们要重新引入音乐是自然反映的古老观念，也许新音乐中许多令人困惑的问题都可以从一个新的角度来看待。
For my part, if I consider poetry as an object, I maintain that it is born of the necessity of adding a vocal sound (speech) to the hammering of the first tribal music.
就我个人而言，如果我把诗歌看作一个对象，我认为它的产生是由于在最初的部落音乐的敲打中加入一种声音(演说)的必要性。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

It takes a real soldier to stay in the music industry and live off the things that have been put before me and be able to survive all this time because it has not been easy.
只有真正的军人才能留在音乐行业，依靠摆在我面前的东西生活，并且能够一直生存下去，因为这并不容易。
What I'm trying to do is find either existing properties or come up with properties or angles or stories which will create music drama. It's my obsession and most of all I would like to remain working in theatre. I think it's very much alive.
我想做的是找到现有的属性，或者想出属性、角度或故事来创造音乐戏剧。这是我的痴迷，最重要的是，我想继续在剧院工作。我认为它很有活力。
Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.
