A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
So I'll set a cycle in motion and pop it into record and I'll lay down a drum pattern, a bass line, a keyboard and guitar part, and once the groove is going I launch into the song and sing my song over the top.
所以我要设定一个循环，然后把它放进唱片里，我要放一个鼓的图案，一条低音线，一个键盘和吉他的部分，一旦音乐开始，我就开始唱这首歌，在上面唱我的歌。
V-Day…if you need this one day in a year to show everyone else you truly care for “your loved one” I think it’s quite stupid. I hate this commercialism. It’s all artificial, and has nothing to do with real love
如果你想在一年中的某一天向所有人表达你对“你爱的人”的真正关心，我认为这是非常愚蠢的。我讨厌这种商业主义。一切都是人为的，与真爱无关
Even if the music industry simply gave away all their music people would complain that they don't have the bandwidth to download all the stuff - the problem would merely shift from availability to distribution.
即使音乐产业只是简单地免费提供他们所有的音乐，人们也会抱怨他们没有足够的带宽下载所有的东西——问题只会从可用性转向发行。
I have my ideas, I have my music and I also just enjoy showing off, so that's a big part of it. Also, I like to get up onstage and behave insanely or express myself physically, and the band can get pretty silly.
我有我的想法，我有我的音乐，我也喜欢炫耀，所以这是很大一部分。此外，我喜欢站在舞台上，表现得疯狂或身体表达自己，而乐队可能会变得相当愚蠢。
I don't know if I would qualify as mainstream. I think I have managed to function pretty successfully on the fringes of the music world and have been able to play exactly what I have wanted the way I have wanted.
我不知道我是否有资格成为主流。我想我已经成功地在音乐世界的边缘发挥了作用，并且能够以我想要的方式演奏我想要的东西。
Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.
没有什么比音乐更能把两代人分开了。当一个孩子八九岁的时候，他对自己的音乐产生了一种热情，这种热情甚至超过了他对拖延症和古怪衣服的热情。
I learnt a whole lot from my mother. About music, relationships, being a good person, loving people, the whole of life. I learnt about everything from her. Every single day I think about her. All through the day.
我从母亲那里学到了很多。关于音乐，人际关系，做一个好人，爱别人，整个人生。我从她那里学到了一切。我每天都想着她。一整天。
I never expected to record again. I knew I had done everything I ever wanted to do. I was satisfied. But... all the time I'm watching the country music horizon. And I'm sayin' 'Lord, is there anybody gonna come?'
我从未想过要再录一次。我知道我已经做了我想做的一切。我很满意。但是…我一直在看乡村音乐的地平线。我在说'上帝，有人会来吗?'
Don't make music for some vast, unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it's crucial to make a living, that shouldn't be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.
不要为一些庞大的、看不见的观众、市场或收视率份额，甚至像金钱这样有形的东西制作音乐。虽然谋生很重要，但这不应该成为你的灵感来源。自己做吧。
They gave me four weeks, and I asked if the first week could be just music with the two main conductors. So, the conductors came over to my home, and we worked in the music room, and I learned my two little songs.
他们给了我四周的时间，我问他们第一周是否可以只和两位主要指挥家一起演奏音乐。所以，指挥来到我家，我们在音乐室工作，我学了两首小曲。
I see the player piano as the grandfather of the computer, the ancestor of the entire nightmare we live in, the birth of the binary world where there is no option other than yes or no and where there is no refuge.
我认为钢琴演奏者是电脑的祖父，是我们生活的整个噩梦的始祖，是二元世界的诞生，在这个世界里，除了“是”或“不是”没有其他选择，也没有避难所。
The tough thing about radio is I've met a lot of people in it who like my music. But it's hard for them to figure out how to play what they like when there's somebody up above them yelling 'you have to play this.'
电台的困难之处在于我遇到了很多喜欢我音乐的人。但当有人在他们上方大喊“你必须这样做”时，他们就很难想出该如何演奏自己喜欢的曲子了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.
音乐有治愈的力量。它能让人们离开自己几个小时。
I was stuck with looking like a girl. As soon as I got out of music it was straight off to the hairdressers.
我被打扮得像个女孩困住了。我一听完音乐就直奔理发店去了。
Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty.
信息不是知识。 知识不是智慧。 智慧不是真理。 真理不是美。
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。
Describing the person I am would best be through music. When I'm up on stage and I'm singing my heart out, I am always reminded of life's best things.
用音乐来描述我是什么样的人是最好的。当我站在舞台上，放声歌唱时，我总是想起生活中最美好的事情。
Music is the art of thinking with sounds.
音乐是用声音思考的艺术。
