A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
A tour is the most intense, stimulating way to hear music; it's the best form to receive it. There's genuine excitement from people. I feel like we've stepped up a level.
旅行是听音乐最紧张、最刺激的方式;这是接受它的最好方式。人们真的很兴奋。我觉得我们已经提高了一个层次。
I made a good living for a teenager. And I had to learn all different kinds of music - jazz, swing, Motown, pop - and that inspired what kind of music I started to write.
我为一个十几岁的孩子过着很好的生活。我必须学习各种各样的音乐——爵士乐、摇摆乐、汽车城、流行音乐——这启发了我开始创作什么样的音乐。
The funny thing is, the music that I'm writing now is probably some of the most cutting edge we've ever done. The music that I'm thinking about putting on our next album.
有趣的是,我现在写的音乐可能是我们做过的最前卫的音乐。我想把这首歌放到我们的下一张专辑里。
Everything, I just wanted to be like my father. And, as I grew within the music, I kind of became myself which was even more like my father, only without me trying though.
一切,我只是想像我父亲一样。随着我在音乐中成长,我变得更像我的父亲,尽管我没有尝试。
When you do a show five days a week and one night a week, the way I was doing, you use up so much music every day that pretty soon you find yourself hustling for material.

If we look at music history closely, it is not difficult to isolate certain elements of great potency which were to nourish the art of music for decades, if not centuries.

In a broader sense, the rhythms of nature, large and small - the sounds of wind and water, the sounds of birds and insects - must inevitably find their analogues in music.

What is nice about country music today is that most artists are not trying to do something everybody else is doing. They really are trying to develop their own uniqueness.

When I am traveling in a carriage, or walking after a good meal, or during the night when I cannot sleep; it is on such occasions that ideas flow best and most abundantly.

Music is, to me, proof of the existence of God. It is so extraordinarily full of magic, and in tough times of my life I can listen to music and it makes such a difference.
对我来说,音乐是上帝存在的证据。它充满了神奇的魔力,在我人生的艰难时期,我可以听音乐,它让我变得与众不同。
I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.
