I don't dismiss the music that I was involved with, I don't think it was a joke, I don't think it was funny or a phase, I don't think it was just something I was doing back then, to me it was who I am. It connects all the way through. I don't distance myself from any of it.
我不否认我所参与的音乐,我不认为这是一个笑话,我不认为这是一个有趣的阶段,我不认为这只是我当时在做的事情,对我来说,这就是我。它连接了所有的路径。我不会让自己远离任何事情。
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。
