On love, in Studio.
录音室里酝酿的爱
Today I’m at 68 songs and still counting. Of those,many could be combined to make an album, or two. I guess my hang-up is thatabove a well crafted song, the message must amount to something. It’s got to bepure. I ask myself, Are these words that I can wear on stage every night? Dothey give me chill bumps? I’d say a quarter of my catalogue does, but even inthose I fear the overall tempos are too slow and the topic of love, love lost,love found again, lost again, and gratitude for the whole journey, are stillclambering for a main event; something that will tie the whole thing together -that one or two songs that will umbrella all the rest. In the meantime I presson. If 68 sounds like a lot. It is. But I wrote 80 for We Sing. Some artistslike Springsteen show up with 100 and that still may not be enough. I standfirmly in “everything is perfect.” I breathe and see that I am already equippedwith everything I need to have the time of my life, and are in fact having it.
至今为止我为我的新专辑写了68首歌了,数字还在不断上升。从这些歌里,选出一张或者两张专辑是没问题的。我猜让我还没有放出专辑的原因是,除了精心雕琢的歌曲之上,我希望自己可以通过它们传播更深刻的含义。而且这个含义一定要是纯洁无瑕疵的。我问自己,这些歌词是我可以每天晚上演出时一直唱下去的吗?它们让我起鸡皮疙瘩吗?我敢说四分之一的歌曲能达到这种效果,但是在这些歌曲里我还是害怕它们的节奏太慢或者关于爱,失去爱,找回爱,再次失去爱,以及整个路途中的感激这些主题的歌还没能达成一定高度的主题;还缺少一些能够把全部的方方面面都凝合起来的东西——一首或者两首能够罩住其他所有歌的歌曲。于是在此同时我继续写歌。如果68首听起来很多的话,确实如此。我为We Sing,We Dance,We Steal Things写了80首歌。有些像是Springsteen的艺术家写100首也不嫌多。我深信“一切都是完美的”。我呼吸并相信自己可以慢慢享受我生命中的最好时光,因为我已经具备这样做所需的一切条件了。
