A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
When there is a voice in a piece of music, we tend to focus on the voice. That is probably something from when we were babies and we depended on hearing our mother's voice.
当一段音乐中有一个声音时，我们倾向于关注这个声音。这可能是从我们还是婴儿的时候开始的，我们依赖于听到母亲的声音。
Punk is just like any other sub culture or music. Straight rock music has those elements. I grew up in a place where the punk rock kids fed the homeless in the town square.
朋克就像其他亚文化或音乐一样。纯摇滚音乐就有这些元素。我在一个地方长大，那里的朋克摇滚孩子在城镇广场上为无家可归的人提供食物。
I find it very, very hard. He was part of the fabric of my life. We were kids together, and teenagers. We spent the whole of our lives with each other because of our music.
我发现这非常非常难。他是我生活的一部分。我们都是孩子，都是青少年。因为我们的音乐，我们一起度过了我们的一生。
I want people to come to my music without prejudice. I want them to get the music first. And who I am isn't that important. If they like the songs to me that's a good thing.
我希望人们来听我的音乐时不带偏见。我想让他们先听到音乐。我是谁并不重要。如果他们喜欢我的歌，那是件好事。
I want my music to be everywhere, I want it to be heard. I want to give people an opportunity to enjoy my music, and maybe even hear about this beautiful truth that's in it.
我希望我的音乐无处不在，我希望它被听到。我想给人们一个欣赏我的音乐的机会，甚至可能听到其中蕴含的美丽的真理。
I'm there to make a kind of theatrical music that is desperately missing in my life. And if other people don't like it, I'm very unhappy, but I can't do anything about that.
我在那里是为了创作一种戏剧音乐，这是我生命中极度缺失的。如果其他人不喜欢，我很不开心，但我对此无能为力。
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。
I could compare my music to white light which contains all colours. Only a prism can divide the colours and make them appear; this prism could be the spirit of the listener.
我可以把我的音乐比作包含所有颜色的白光。只有棱镜才能区分颜色并使它们显现出来;这个棱镜可能是听者的精神。
My mom had this romantic notion of her children playing classical music. The idea is you learn it when you're still learning language. It's using the same part of the brain.
我妈妈有一个浪漫的想法，她的孩子们演奏古典音乐。这个想法是，当你还在学习语言的时候，你就已经学会了。它使用的是大脑的同一部分。
Everybody was on the same page. Nobody has really gone out there on a different musical journey. When we got back together again, we all wanted to do the same kind of music.
每个人都在同一页上。没有人真正踏上过不同的音乐之旅。当我们再次相聚时，我们都想做同样的音乐。
I walk without flinching through the burning cathedral of the summer. My bank of wild grass is majestic and full of music. It is a fire that solitude presses against my lips.
我毫不畏惧地走过燃烧着的夏日大教堂。我的野草银行是宏伟的和充满音乐。它是孤独压在我唇上的火焰。
I tend to not want to put labels or categories on the music, only because people come with preconceived ideas about what they're going to hear, or won't come for this reason.
我倾向于不给音乐贴上标签或分类，只是因为人们对他们将要听到的东西有先入为主的想法，或者因为这个原因不来。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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。
I didn't want to be told what to do. I don't want to water down my music to fit into their formats. I know what rock and roll is to me, but everything's turning into one big commercial.
我不想让别人告诉我该做什么。我不想降低我的音乐以适应他们的格式。我知道摇滚对我来说是什么，但一切都变成了一个大广告。
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。
When a singer truly feels and experiences what the music is all about, the words will automatically ring true.
当一个歌手真正感受和体验到音乐的真谛时，歌词就会自动变得真实。
Music is the universal language of mankind.
音乐是人类的通用语言。
At the age when Bengali youth almost inevitably writes poetry, I was listening to European classical music.
在孟加拉青年几乎不可避免地要写诗的时候，我正在听欧洲古典音乐。
