A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
I remember listening to the radio as a kid and finding that the songs always made me feel more peaceful. Funny, but the more hurtin' the music was, the better it made me feel. I think of that now when I write my songs. I may not be feelin' the blues myself, but I'm writing them for other people who have a hard life.
我记得当我还是个孩子的时候听收音机,发现那些歌曲总是让我感到更平静。很有趣,但音乐越伤人,我的感觉就越好。我现在写歌的时候就会想到这一点。我自己可能没有感到忧郁,但我在为那些生活艰难的人写这些歌。
Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter -- to all these music gives voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water.
快乐,悲伤,泪水,哀歌,笑声——所有这些音乐的声音,但在这样一种方式,我们从世界的动荡运送至一个和平的世界,以一种新的方式,看看现实,如果我们坐在一座山湖和考虑山丘和树林和云在宁静和深不可测的水。
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。
Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.
音乐表达了无法用语言表达的东西,也表达了无法保持沉默的东西。
Music is therapy. Music moves people. It connects people in ways that no other medium can. It pulls heart strings. It acts as medicine.
音乐是治疗。音乐的人。它以其他媒体无法做到的方式将人们联系在一起。它牵动心弦。它就像药物一样。
I write music all the time. When I talk about having writer's block, it's more to do with lyrics than anything else.
我一直在写音乐。当我说到写作障碍时,更多的是与歌词有关。
Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling and instinct, not by rule. Nevertheless one had better know the rules, for they sometimes guide in doubtful cases, though not often.
人生如一首乐曲,要用乐感,感情和直觉去谱写,不能只按乐律行事。不过,人们最好了解这些规则,因为在可疑的情况下,这些规则有时会起到指导作用,虽然不是经常如此。
Ultimately, I'm not the most prolific person, but I've been doing this for a long time, and I keep on putting out music. The only thing that drives music is the people who are making it.
最终,我并不是最多产的人,但我已经这样做了很长时间,而且我一直在发布音乐。推动音乐发展的唯一动力是音乐制作者。
