A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
I have yet to have a successful outcome of sitting in a room with someone and trying to write a song. The way that I generally co-write is that someone else writes the music or part of the music.
我还没有一个成功的结果，与某人坐在一个房间里，并试图写一首歌。我通常合作写作的方式是别人写音乐或部分音乐。
Basically we just created our own label, but again we just did it to document our own music and create our own thing, so the major labels were just always out of our picture, we're not interested.
基本上，我们只是创建了我们自己的标签，但同样，我们只是记录我们自己的音乐和创建我们自己的东西，所以主要的标签总是在我们的图片之外，我们不感兴趣。
I still don't understand the music industry that much. Everything I learned was from hanging out with rock musicians in studios. I certainly have respect for those who make music their livelihood.
我还是不太了解音乐行业。我学到的一切都是在录音室里和摇滚音乐家一起玩的时候学到的。我当然尊重那些以音乐为生的人。
I had a feeling it was gonna work out because not only did I enjoy the music and hit it off with the guys, but I was into theatrical rock and was willing to wear makeup and do anything to make it.
我有一种感觉，它会成功的，因为我不仅喜欢音乐，和男人们相处得很好，而且我喜欢戏剧摇滚，愿意化妆，愿意做任何事情。
The type of music that I love to sing would have to be more bluesy and jazzy and more soul-like 'cause I love to belt when it comes to singing, so I guess bigger songs are what I lean more towards.
我喜欢的音乐类型必须更蓝、更爵士、更有灵魂，因为我喜欢带着腰带唱歌，所以我想我更倾向于唱大一点的歌。
I'm not suggesting people abandon musical instruments and start playing their cars and apartments, but I do think the reign of music as a commodity made only by professionals might be winding down.
我并不是建议人们放弃乐器，开始玩汽车和公寓，但我确实认为，音乐作为一种仅由专业人士制作的商品的统治地位可能正在逐渐衰落。
Life, he realize, was much like a song. In the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it's in the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile.
他意识到，生活就像一首歌。一开始是神秘的，最后是确定的，但正是在这中间，所有的情感都居住在这里，让整件事变得有价值。
And of course there's so much music in and around our family. I had a piano during Christmas because it's obviously useful through the season. There are so many people, songwriters, who are around.
当然，我们家里和周围有很多音乐。我有一架钢琴在圣诞节，因为它显然是有用的整个季节。周围有很多人，词曲作者。
Just the type of music that was around at the same time as I was writing. Some of it was wicked, definitely. But there was just one direction which I thought could be pushed that no one was pushing.
就是那种和我写作同时出现的音乐。当然，其中一些是邪恶的。但我认为只有一个方向是可以推动的，没有人在推动。
The bass, no matter what kind of music you're playing, it just enhances the sound and makes everything sound more beautiful and full. When the bass stops, the bottom kind of drops out of everything.
低音，不管你演奏的是什么音乐，它只是增强了声音，使一切听起来更美丽和充实。当低音停止时，底部就会掉出来。
People are always defining and re-defining music. My style of playing has been characterized as smooth jazz and acid jazz. I listen as I play; I'm not caught up in defining the type of music I play.
人们总是在定义和重新定义音乐。我的演奏风格被描述为流畅的爵士乐和酸性爵士乐。我边听边玩;我并不热衷于定义我演奏的音乐类型。
We sold a certain, steady amount of product for them and they could count on it. When it came time to ask for the money for this new record, they dropped us. It was fine with us. It was a dead fish.
我们为他们销售了一定数量的稳定产品，他们可以放心。到了为这张新唱片要钱的时候，他们把我们甩了。我们都很好。那是一条死鱼。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I think my knowledge of music theory is rooted in jazz theory, and a lot of the writers of standards - Rodgers and Hart, and Gershwin.
我认为我对音乐理论的了解根植于爵士乐理论，以及许多标准的作者——罗杰斯、哈特和格什温。
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。
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。
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。
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。
If the pressure is getting to you, whistle. In a barely audible way. It's the best way I know of to let go of tension. Music gets your mind off the situation, and the act of whistling melts the tension out of your body.
如果压力来袭，吹口哨。以一种几乎听不见的方式。这是我所知道的最好的放松紧张的方法。音乐可以让你的大脑摆脱这种情况，吹口哨的动作可以融化你身体的紧张感。
