A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
I'll admit that I'm not quite certain how to sum up an entire year in music anymore; not when music has become so temporal, so specific and personal, as if we each have our own weather system and what we listen to is our individual forecast.
我得承认,我不太确定如何总结整整一年的音乐;当音乐变得如此短暂,如此具体,如此个人化,就好像我们每个人都有自己的天气系统,我们听的是我们自己的预测。
I want them to come away with discovering the music inside them. And not thinking about themselves as jazz musicians, but thinking about themselves as good human beings, striving to be a great person and maybe they'll become a great musician.
我想让他们带着发现他们内心的音乐离开。不是把自己想象成爵士音乐家,而是把自己想象成好人,努力成为一个伟大的人,也许他们会成为一个伟大的音乐家。
You feel the music needs something but you don't know what. So you start searching, fitting, measuring, trying. Every time you try another angle. And sometimes that's frustrating, especially if you don't come up with something for three days.
你觉得音乐需要一些东西,但你不知道是什么。所以你开始搜索,拟合,测量,尝试。每次你换一个角度。有时候这很让人沮丧,尤其是如果你三天都没想出什么好主意的话。
What I'm trying to do is find either existing properties or come up with properties or angles or stories which will create music drama. It's my obsession and most of all I would like to remain working in theatre. I think it's very much alive.
我想做的是找到现有的属性,或者想出属性、角度或故事来创造音乐戏剧。这是我的痴迷,最重要的是,我想继续在剧院工作。我认为它很有活力。
I am a musician. I didn't know I would be so when I was young. I do know that I have always heard music in my head that I wasn't hearing somewhere else and I 'needed' this music. And obedient to the laws of nature, I created into this vacuum.
我是一个音乐家。我年轻的时候不知道会这样。我知道我总是在脑海中听到一些我在其他地方听不到的音乐,我“需要”这种音乐。服从自然法则,我创造了这个真空。
I was always into music. And none of my friends were really into music the same way I was. So it was just different. It was really not very well understood by most of my friends. They didn't tease me about it - they just didn't really relate.
我一直很喜欢音乐。我的朋友没有一个像我一样喜欢音乐。所以这是不同的。我的大多数朋友都不太理解。他们并没有取笑我——他们只是没有真正的共鸣。
I am very aware now that music is a business, but there is also a way to go about making music that is true to yourself as opposed to doing, you know, just going through the motions and making things that would just be commercially successful.
我现在很清楚,音乐是一门生意,但也有一种方法可以让你创作出真实的音乐,而不是走走过场,做出一些商业上成功的东西。
Unfortunately, the young generation, who I believe have their own place in the sun like I had mine; but I wish it was possible there were other ways to have them understand this music was here before they came, and the reason that it was here.
不幸的是,年轻一代,我相信他们在阳光下有自己的位置,就像我有我的位置一样;但我希望有可能有其他的方式让他们理解这音乐在他们来之前就已经存在了,以及它存在的原因。
It's been really interesting watching people's reactions to the new music, to the old music and also watching how modern young people will be standing in front of something going on like live music, and there's a camera in front of their face.
观察人们对新音乐、旧音乐的反应,以及现代年轻人如何站在现场音乐等正在发生的事情面前,在他们面前有一台摄像机,这真的很有趣。
There is an atmosphere about the picture theatre that speaks of entertainment and relaxation. The charming surroundings, good music, and the fact that each visitor is determined to enjoy a few hours of holiday all exert an influence on the mind.
剧院里有一种谈论娱乐和放松的气氛。迷人的环境,美妙的音乐,以及每位游客都决心享受几个小时的假期,这些都对人的思想产生了影响。
Things have gone beyond my wildest expectations and dreams, and I feel like I've been given so many blessings in my life, between my friendship with the guys in the band, our wonderful audience, being able to play this music, and then my family.
事情已经超出了我最疯狂的期望和梦想,我觉得我在我的生活中得到了太多的祝福,我和乐队里的朋友们的友谊,我们出色的观众,能够演奏这首音乐,然后是我的家人。
Country music has changed tremendously, so what now is considered country was not considered country at that time. We were doing stuff that probably could have been called country music today, but would certainly have not have fit in at that time.
乡村音乐已经发生了巨大的变化,所以现在被认为是乡村音乐的东西在当时并不被认为是乡村音乐。我们当时所做的事情,今天可能被称为乡村音乐,但在当时肯定不适合。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Music is the shorthand of emotion.
音乐是情感的速记。
The calm mind allows one to connect with the inner self, the Soul, the very source of our being. That's where the music lives. That's where my music comes from.
平静的头脑允许一个人与内在的自我,灵魂,我们存在的源头相联系。那就是音乐存在的地方。这就是我音乐的来源。
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。
Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.
生活就像一首美妙的旋律,只是歌词被打乱了。
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。
