♪ ♪

我通常演奏音乐，因为——这是我早上起床后首先想到的。

我醒来时脑海里就有音乐，

晚上睡觉时脑海里也是音乐。

如果我看到有弦的乐器，

我就得把它拿起来，

如果它还不错，我会演奏大约三十分钟，

AND IF IT'S ANY GOOD IMMA PLAY IT FOR ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES

除非有人让我停下来。

如果周围没有别人，

我就会一直演奏，直到我的手指再也感觉不到。

这就是我为什么演奏音乐。

因为对我来说，这就像呼吸一样自然。

如果我没有足够的音乐，

就像是没有足够的空气。

♪ 有人需要我去演奏 ♪

你知道23岁的我，

现在的我37岁了，都在这个专辑里。

♪有时我迷失了自我 ♪

28岁的我，

也在这个专辑的某个地方。

30岁的我也在这个专辑的某个地方。

还有37岁的我，

有两个孩子和一个妻子，也在这个专辑里。

还有那些早已死去的脑细胞，

也在这个专辑里。

有我试图去写一首歌的样子...

我喜欢那首歌，我想写一首这样的歌。

那个家伙也在这个专辑里。

有个家伙每天写三首歌，

连续四年，从未停止。

还有那个家伙...

你知道，他跑遍全国演奏蓝草音乐，

因为那时这似乎是正确的事。

有个家伙去俱乐部演奏摇滚乐，

只是因为他想这样做，还制作了一张摇滚专辑，

他爱乐队里的那些人，

也爱开着自己的卡车到处跑的每一分钟，

卡车里装满了设备，去为六个人演奏。

那个家伙也在这个专辑里。

♪ 有时我也是赢家 ♪

把所有这些人放进这个专辑...

这有点让人不知所措。

无法单独谈论专辑里的每一首歌，

不把它们区分开来是不可能的。

我所做的一切，某种程度上都导致了这一刻，

或者说，所有这些都属于这个专辑。

我所做的一切。

它对我来说存在，这...

让我感到足够的成就感。

就像没有奖项，或者不，我不是说我不...

每个人都想赢得某个奖项或某种东西。

但对我来说，这并不是真正重要的。

我并不是为了这个而创作音乐。

我喜欢创作音乐，因为我热爱创作音乐。

这些歌都是...这样的。

我看了专辑里的歌名，

它们遍布全国。

还有我记得和别人一起写的歌，

那时我几乎不认识他们，但现在我们已经认识十年了。

把它们录制下来，以及与人们友谊的初期，

现在他们都是老朋友，或者

是参加过我的婚礼的人，或者什么的，

这对我来说非常酷。

那里有很多美好的时光。这里也有很多，

艰难的时光。还有很多，嗯，

我让自己在这里不舒服。

然后穿过它，从中得到一些东西。

对我来说，它们不是单独的歌曲。

它们都是整体的一部分。

而这一部分，希望是我能提供的最好的，

作为演奏者、歌手，以及，嗯，作为创作者。

单独来看，你知道，其中一些会有更多

个人故事，

还有一些会更多地讲述我是如何走到今天的。

但整体而言，我认为它们代表了

我目前能力的最好体现。

不是说我会变得更好或更差，

或者再做任何事情。

但握着十五年的努力，

当你把它打包成一个整体时，

这真的很让人不知所措。

十五年的努力，

你得到...

这是十五年的努力，

这是我所能想到的。

I PLAY MUSIC USUALLY BECAUSE IT'S THE FIRST THING THAT I

GET UP IN THE MORNING AND THINK ABOUT.

I WAKE UP WITH MUSIC IN MY HEAD,

AND I GO TO BED WITH MUSIC IN MY HEAD AT NIGHT.

AND IF I SEE SOMETHING WITH STRINGS ON IT

I GOTTA PICK IT UP

AND IF IT'S ANY GOOD IMMA PLAY IT FOR ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES

UNLESS SOMEONE TELLS ME TO STOP.

AND IF NOBODY ELSE IS AROUND

IM JUST GOING TO PLAY IT UNTIL I CAN'T FEEL MY FINGERS ANYMORE.

THATS WHY I PLAY MUSIC.

BECAUSE ITS BASICALLY LIKE BREATHING TO ME.

IF I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OF IT

ITS LIKE NOT GETTING ENOUGH AIR.

♪ THAT SOMEBODY NEEDS ME TO PLAY ♪

YOU KNOW THE TWENTY-THREE YEAR OLD ME,

IM THIRTY- SEVEN NOW, IS ON THIS RECORD.

♪SOMETIMES I'M STONED ♪

THE TWENTY-EIGHT YEAR OLD ME

IS SOMEWHERE ON THIS RECORD.

THE THIRTY YEAR OLD ME IS SOMEWHERE ON THIS RECORD.

AND THE THIRTY- SEVEN YEAR OLD ME

WITH TWO KIDS AND A WIFE IS ON THIS RECORD.

AND THERES BRAIN CELLS

THAT HAVE LONG BEEN DEAD ON THIS RECORD.

THERES ME TRYING TO WRITE A SONG LIKE...

I LOVE THAT SONG I WANNA WRITE A SONG LIKE THAT.

THERES THAT GUY ON THIS RECORD.

THERES A GUY WHO WROTE THREE SONGS A DAY ON THIS RECORD,

FOR FOUR YEARS STRAIGHT AND DIDN'T STOP.

AND THERES A GUY WHO...WHO

YOU KNOW, RAN AROUND THE COUNTRY PLAYING BLUEGRASS

BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE THE RIGHT THING TO DO AT THE TIME.

THERES A GUY WHO WENT AND PLAYED ROCK AND ROLL IN CLUBS

AND MADE A ROCK AND ROLL RECORD JUST CAUSE HE WANTED TO,

AND HE LOVED THE GUYS IN THE BAND,

AND LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF DRIVING AROUND IN HIS OWN TRUCK

WITH A TRUCK FULL OF GEAR, GOING TO PLAY FOR SIX PEOPLE.

THAT GUYS ON THIS RECORD.

♪ AND I'M SOMETIMES A WINNER ♪

TO GET ALL THOSE PEOPLE ON THIS RECORD...

ITS A LITTLE OVERWHELMING.

CAN'T TALK ABOUT INDIVIDUAL SONGS ON THIS RECORD

NOT WITHOUT DRAWING LINES BETWEEN ALL OF THEM.

EVERYTHING THAT I'VE DONE, KINDA LEADS UP TO THIS

OR, ALL THOSE THINGS BELONG, IN THIS RECORD.

EVERYTHING I'VE EVER DONE.

THE FACT THAT IT EXISTS FOR ME, ITS UM...

FEELS LIKE ACCOMPLISHMENT ENOUGH FOR ME.

LIKE NO AWARDS, OR NO. IM NOT GOING TO SAY I DON'T...

EVERYBODY WANTS TO WIN AN AWARD OR SOME KIND

OR SOMETHING. BUT, ITS NOT REALLY ABOUT THAT FOR ME.

I DON'T REALLY MAKE MUSIC FOR THAT.

I LIKE TO MAKE MUSIC, BECAUSE I LOVE TO MAKE MUSIC.

AND ALL OF THESE SONGS ARE...THAT.

AND I READ THE TITLES ON THE RECORD,

AND THEY ARE WRITTEN ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

AND THERE ARE SONGS THAT I REMEMBER WRITING WITH PEOPLE

WHEN I BARELY KNEW THEM,BUT NOW I'VE KNOW THEM FOR TEN YEARS.

TO RECORD THEM, AND THE INFANCY OF FRIENDSHIPS WITH PEOPLE

ARE, NOW THAT ARE OLD FRIENDS, OR PEOPLE

THAT HAS BEEN IN MY WEDDING OR SOMETHING ITS,

ITS VERY COOL TO ME.

THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD TIMES ON THERE. THERE'S A LOT OF,

HARD TIMES ON HERE. THERE'S A LOT OF, UM,

ME MAKING MYSELF UNCOMFORTABLE ON HERE.

AND THEN FIGHTING THROUGH IT AND GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF IT.

THEY ARE NOT INDIVIDUAL SONGS TO ME.

THEY ARE ALL ONE PIECE OF SOMETHING.

AND THAT PIECE OF SOMETHING IS, HOPEFULLY, THE BEST

OF WHAT I HAD TO OFFER.

MUSICALLY AS A PLAYER, AS A SINGER, AND UM, AS A WRITER

INDIVIDUALLY THEY, THEY YOU KNOW, SOME OF THEM ARE GOING

TO HAVE WAY MORE PERSONAL STORIES

AND SOME OF THEM ARE GOING TO HAVE MORE OF THE STORY

OF HOW I CAME ABOUT.

BUT AS A WHOLE, I THINK THEY REPRESENT THE BEST

OF WHAT I'M CAPABLE OF AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

AND NOT TO SAY THAT I'LL EVER GET BETTER OR

EVER GET WORSE OR, EVER DO ANYTHING AGAIN.

BUT ITS UH, VERY OVERWHELMING TO HOLD FIFTEEN YEARS

OF EFFORT, IN YOUR HAND WHEN YOU GET IT IN A PACKAGE

AND YOU GET...

ITS FIFTEEN YEARS OF EFFORT

AND THIS IS WHAT I CAME UP WITH.

重点语法结构

• I play music usually because it's the first thing that I get up in the morning and think about.

  ➔ 一般现在时 + 关系从句 (that‑clause)

  ➔ 动词 **"play"** 使用一般现在时表示习惯。短语 **"that I get up in the morning and think about"** 是由 that 引导的关系从句。

• If I see something with strings on it I gotta pick it up and if it's any good imma play it for about thirty minutes unless someone tells me to stop.

  ➔ 第一条件句 (if + 现在时, 将来结果) + 口语缩写 (gotta, imma) + unless 从句

  ➔ 结构 **"If I see…"** 使用第一条件句，谈论可能的将来动作。**"gotta"** = "have to"，**"imma"** = "I am going to" 为口语缩写。**"unless someone tells me to stop"** 引入例外。

• And if nobody else is around I'm just going to play it until I can't feel my fingers anymore.

  ➔ 将来意向 (going to) + 否定缩写 (can't) + until 从句

  ➔ 短语 **"I'm just going to play"** 使用 "going to" 表示计划中的将来行动。**"can't"** 是 "cannot" 的缩写。**"until"** 从句表示动作的持续时间。

• That's why I play music. Because it's basically like breathing to me.

  ➔ 因果表达 "That's why" + 比较 "like"

  ➔ 表达 **"That's why"** 引出前句的原因。短语 **"like breathing"** 使用比较词 "like" 来表示相似性。

• If I don't have enough of it it's like not getting enough air.

  ➔ 第一条件句 + 比较 "like"

  ➔ 从句 **"If I don't have enough of it"** 符合第一条件句（if + 现在时）结构。结果从句使用 **"it's like"** 进行比较。

• Sometimes I'm stoned.

  ➔ 状态被动 (be + 过去分词) 用于描述

  ➔ 动词 **"am"** 加上过去分词 **"stoned"** 形成状态被动，表示一种状态而非动作。

• There’s a guy who wrote three songs a day on this record, for four years straight and didn't stop.

  ➔ 带 "who" 的关系从句 + 简单过去时

  ➔ 从句 **"who wrote three songs a day"** 是由 **"who"** 引导的关系从句，描述 "a guy"。动词 **"wrote"** 使用简单过去时，表述已完成的习惯。

• There’s a guy who went and played rock and roll in clubs and made a rock and roll record just cause he wanted to, and he loved the guys in the band, and loved every minute of driving around in his own truck with a truck full of gear, going to play for six people.

  ➔ 一系列过去式动作 + "just because" 从句 + 动名词短语 ("going to play")

  ➔ 句子串联了多个 **过去式** 动词（"went", "played", "made", "loved"）。短语 **"just cause he wanted to"** 是 "just because" 的非正式说法，用来引出原因。结尾的 **"going to play"** 是动名词短语，表示目的。

• And I'm sometimes a winner to get all those people on this record...

  ➔ 名词短语后接目的不定式 ("to get")

  ➔ 短语 **"to get all those people on this record"** 使用不定式 **"to get"** 表示成为“赢家”的目的。

• Can't talk about individual songs on this record not without drawing lines between all of them.

  ➔ 否定缩写 "Can't" + 成语结构 "not without" + 动名词短语

  ➔ 缩写 **"Can't"** 意为 "cannot"。成语结构 **"not without"** 表示没有某种条件就无法做某事——这里指没有 **"drawing lines"**（动名词）就无法谈论这些歌曲。
