A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
We play melodic music, we play songs, we play all kinds of things and when you improvise you don't just shut out different languages, you use all the languages that you have.
我们演奏旋律优美的音乐，我们演奏歌曲，我们演奏各种各样的东西，当你即兴创作时，你不只是把不同的语言拒之门外，而是使用你所有的语言。
Don't worry about what others say about your music. Pursue whatever you are hearing... but if everybody really hates your music maybe you could try some different approaches.
不要担心别人怎么评价你的音乐。追寻你所听到的一切……但是如果每个人都讨厌你的音乐，也许你可以尝试一些不同的方法。
I'm totally not a nostalgic person. I always look to the future and as much as I've enjoyed the ride until now and the different phases, I'm more excited about the next music.
我不是一个怀旧的人。我总是展望未来，尽管我很享受现在的旅程和不同的阶段，但我对下一首音乐更感兴趣。
Music I heard with you was more than music, and bread I broke with you was more than bread. Now that I am without you, all is desolate; all that was once so beautiful is dead.
我在你们那里所听见的，比这更美。我与你们所擘开的，比这更美。我既没有你，一切都是荒凉的。曾经那么美丽的一切都已不复存在。
When I first started to get into writing, it was via music. I'd generate ideas for songs that would turn into stories, then they'd turn into novels. I was biased toward music.
当我第一次开始写作时，是通过音乐。我会想出一些歌曲的创意，然后把它们变成故事，再把它们变成小说。我对音乐有偏见。
For me music is a vehicle to bring our pain to the surface, getting it back to that humble and tender spot where, with luck, it can lose its anger and become compassion again.
对我来说，音乐是一种工具，把我们的痛苦带到表面，让它回到那个谦卑而温柔的地方，在那里，如果幸运的话，它可以失去愤怒，再次成为同情。
If we ask a vague question, such as, 'What is poetry?' we expect a vague answer, such as, 'Poetry is the music of words,' or 'Poetry is the linguistic correction of disorder.'
如果我们问一个模糊的问题，比如，“什么是诗歌?”我们希望得到一个模糊的答案，比如，“诗歌是文字的音乐”，或者“诗歌是对无序的语言纠正”。
My dad wanted me to play when I was a kid, so I learned to play the guitar. I pursued a career in music because I love it so much and I enjoy what it does to those who hear it.
我小时候爸爸想让我弹吉他，所以我学会了弹吉他。我从事音乐事业，因为我非常热爱音乐，我喜欢音乐对听众的影响。
I wouldn't say I was bullied per se, but I did get a lot of unwanted attention because I was musical and stood out. In school you don't want to stand out; you want to blend in.
我不会说我自己被欺负，但我确实得到了很多不必要的关注，因为我有音乐天赋，而且很突出。在学校你不想脱颖而出;你想融入其中。
What we ask of music, first and last, is that it communicate experience - experience of all kinds, vital and profound at its greatest, amusing or entertaining at another level.
我们对音乐的要求，首先也是最后一点，是它传达的是经验——各种各样的经验，其中最重要、最深刻的是其重要性，另一层次上的是其趣味性或娱乐性。
'Music for Relief' has played a vital role in helping get aid to people who most need it. We are deeply honored to participate in what will likely be our biggest event to date.
“音乐救援”在帮助最需要援助的人们获得援助方面发挥了至关重要的作用。我们非常荣幸能参加可能是我们迄今为止最大的活动。
Music has to be written while people are still excited about a particular melodic or rhythmic sequence. The idea doesn't come out the same if we're not really excited about it.
音乐必须在人们仍然对特定的旋律或节奏序列感到兴奋的时候创作。如果我们对它不是很感兴趣，这个想法就不一样了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
This above all; to thine own self be true.
这最重要的是;对自己要真诚。
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。
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。
As long as your intention is pure, and you know what you're in it for, then you're alright. And I'm in it because I enjoy it. I take it seriously... real seriously. I mean I could sit and talk all day about the music.
只要你的意图是纯洁的，你知道你在做什么，那么你就没事了。我参与其中是因为我喜欢它。我很认真……真正的认真。我的意思是我可以整天坐着谈论音乐。
I get bored easily, so I need to do a lot. I've started a record label, so I get to nurture new talent and talk about music, which is a passion of mine. I've written another book. And I get to come to work and do the TV show, which is always really fun.
我很容易感到无聊，所以我需要做很多。我已经成立了一个唱片公司，所以我可以培养新的人才，谈论音乐，这是我的激情。我又写了一本书。我开始工作，做电视节目，这总是很有趣。
A long apprenticeship is the most logical way to success. The only alternative is overnight stardom, but I can't give you a formula for that.
长期的学徒期是成功最合乎逻辑的途径。唯一的选择就是一夜成名，但我不能给你一个公式。
