A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
音乐
Music
There are only two things worth aiming for, good music and a clean conscience.

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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。
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.

There is something comforting about going into a practice room, putting your sheet music on a stand and playing Bach over and over again.
走进一间练习室,把乐谱放在架子上,一遍又一遍地演奏巴赫的曲子,这是一件令人欣慰的事情。
I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it, but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.
我一直都知道我能在音乐方面有所作为。我不知道我是否能成功,但我知道我会在其中有所作为。也许在唱片店里找份工作。甚至可以在乐队里演奏。我从没想过要当明星。
