A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
Most artists have contracts directly with the record company, and when they do music, all of their music is owned by the record company. But I did mine through a production company.
大多数艺人与唱片公司有直接合同，当他们创作音乐时，他们所有的音乐都归唱片公司所有。但我是通过一家制作公司完成的。
The music industry is really funny, when you have a hit record, everyone knows who are you, everyone wants to do duets with you, then if you have a miss, people suffer from amnesia.
音乐行业真的很有趣，当你有一张热门唱片时，每个人都知道你是谁，每个人都想和你合唱，然后如果你错过了，人们就会患上健忘症。
Sometimes my boyfriend would write the lyrics and I would write the melody, and other times I would start from scratch. Or sometimes I would take a local poem and put that to music.
有时我男朋友会写歌词，我也会写旋律，有时我会从头开始。有时我也会把当地的一首诗谱成音乐。
I was in lots of dodgy bands growing up and I always fancied myself in a band. But, you know, I was rubbish at writing music. So maybe one day I'll play a rock star, or punk rocker.
在我成长的过程中，我参加过很多狡猾的乐队，我总是幻想自己在乐队里。但是，你知道，我写音乐很烂。所以也许有一天我会扮演一个摇滚明星，或者朋克摇滚歌手。
I don't listen to music when I write, but I do turn on appropriate music when I read portions of my manuscripts back to myself - kind of like adding a soundtrack to help shape mood.
我写作的时候不听音乐，但当我把部分手稿读给自己听的时候，我确实会打开合适的音乐——就像加一段音乐来帮助塑造心情一样。
Music and songs are written at different periods of time, at different times in your life. They reflect the feelings you have and to be honest, I quite like having positive emotions.
音乐和歌曲创作于不同的时期，在你生命中的不同时期。它们反映了你的感受，说实话，我很喜欢拥有积极的情绪。
When you are accompanied by the instrument - on an instrument like the lute-the lute and voice - you have this sound, and you feel how the music can be so touching and yet so simple.
当你在乐器的伴奏下——在像鲁特琴这样的乐器上——鲁特琴和人声——你就有了这种声音，你就能感觉到音乐是多么的动人，又是多么的简单。
Music is gathering. Taking our scattered thoughts and senses and coalescing us back into our core. Music is powerful. The first few chords can change us where no self-help books can.
音乐是收集。把我们分散的思想和感觉重新凝聚到我们的核心。音乐是强大的。前几段和弦能改变我们，这是自助书籍所不能做到的。
I dream of instruments obedient to my thought and which with their contribution of a whole new world of unsuspected sounds, will lend themselves to the exigencies of my inner rhythm.
我梦想着那些顺从我思想的乐器，它们为我带来了一个崭新的世界，里面充满了令人意想不到的声音，它们将满足我内心节奏的需要。
That's the beauty of music. You can take a theme from a Bach sacred chorale and improvise. It doesn't make any difference where the theme comes from; the treatment of it can be jazz.
这就是音乐的美。你可以从巴赫的圣歌中选取一个主题即兴创作。主题来自哪里并不重要;治疗方法可以是爵士乐。
The reward is that you can actually create a world separate from reality with a story, actors, music, and camera design. When it works it can entertain, move people and teach us all.
这样做的回报是，你可以通过故事、演员、音乐和相机设计来创造一个与现实世界相分离的世界。当它起作用时，它可以娱乐，感动人们，并教会我们所有人。
The country experience was more of a departure. When you consider my education and my upbringing, you can see that was more of country rock outgrowth of my popular music aspirations.
乡村的经历更像是一种离经叛道。当你考虑到我的教育和成长经历时，你会发现更多的乡村摇滚是我对流行音乐的渴望的产物。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
He not busy being born is busy dying.
他不忙着生，忙着死。
Uttering a word is like striking a note on the keyboard of the imagination.
说一个字就像在想象的键盘上敲击一个音符。
Without music life would be a mistake.
没有音乐，生活将是一个错误。
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。
Music gives a soul to the universe wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.
音乐给宇宙赋予灵魂，给心灵插上翅膀，给想象插上翅膀，给万物赋予生命。
Although I am flexible and ready to take advice, I can't carry an umbrella of thoughts over my head that would distract me and affect my music making.
虽然我很灵活，随时准备接受建议，但我不能把那些会分散我注意力、影响我音乐创作的想法像伞一样罩在头上。
