曼肥：David Bowiw永远地改变了我的生命

试着翻一下 各位见笑了
曼肥：“DB永远地改变了我的生命 每一首Bowie的歌对于我来说都是同他人交流的方式” 曼肥写到 “它就像镇静剂 一种激励 一封我永远不会再写的爱之信”
（这么翻有点儿怪）

The music community has been in shock since the announcement of David Bowie's death on Sunday. Marilyn Manson – a musician and performer who took to heart Bowie's flair for the theatrical and unorthodox – has written a poignant tribute to the late rock icon. His reflections, as told to Rolling Stone, show how Bowie's music "changed [his] life forever" starting with his first awestruck listen to "Diamond Dogs."

自从DB的死讯传来 整个音乐界都炸了 曼肥---一个音乐家 一个表演家 一个把DB在戏剧性和另类方面的天分铭记于心的人 为这位老一辈的摇滚偶像写了一封沉痛的悼词。他表示 就像他告诉滚石的那样 DB的音乐永久地改变了他的生命 这都开始于曼肥听到“diamond dogs”时的肃然起敬

以下是曼肥说的：
first introduction to David Bowie was watching "Ashes to Ashes" on MTV. I was confused and captivated.
我第一次入DB的坑是在MTV上看到了他的“Ashes to Ashed” 我那时很迷惑并且被他吸引住了

But it wasn't until my first real stay in Los Angeles, around 1997, that someone told me to take a moment to listen to something other than Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane and Hunky Dory. So I went for a dizzying car ride through the Hollywood Hills and listened to "Diamond Dogs."
但是捏 直到1997年左右我才第一次真正的住在LA 那是一个人告诉我抽空去听一下DB的Aladdin Sane（1971年专辑）和 Hunky Dory（1973年专辑）然后我就找了一辆傻不拉几的车驶过好莱坞山去听diamond dogs

All of my nostalgia, instantly turned to awe. I was hearing him sing about fiction as a mask to show his naked soul. This changed my life forever.
Every song of his was a way for me to communicate to others. It was a sedative. An arousal. A love letter I could never have written.
我所有的思乡之情立刻转变成了敬畏之情 我听到他唱着的故事 就像一个面具一般展现了他不加修饰的灵魂 这永远改变了我
下一段同二楼

It has become and remains a soundtrack to a movie he painted with his voice and guitar.
He sang, "Hope, it's a cheap thing."
I don't need hope to know that he has found his way to the place that equals his untouchable, chameleon-genius beauty. The black star in space, that only HE belongs.

它已成为并保留成了一部他用自己声音和吉他来描绘的电影原声乐
他唱到 “希望这玩意儿是廉价的”
我不需要盼着去知道那个地方 DB已经建立了自己通往那里的路 那个与他的遥不可及、他变色龙天赋的美丽之处平行的地方----有着黑色星星的太空 那是只有他才属于的地方

This crushing moment of fear and loss can only be treated the way his music has affected everyone who was fortunate enough to hear and love it.
Let's NEVER let go of what he gave us.
MM

这个恐惧和失去并存的破碎时刻只能用一种方式来重圆 那就要靠被DB的音乐所影响的每一个人 每一个足够幸运听到它并且热爱它的人
愿我们永远不要忘记DB给我们带来的一切
曼肥

以上是全文..第一次翻有许多奇怪的地方还望各位指出 下面放点关于老爷子的东西

据说"Diamond dogs"时期是DB嗑药最厉害的时候，图是Diamond Dogs发表之前，Terry O'Neill给Bowie拍的宣传照，
地板上那本书是Walter Ross的小说《永生》（The Immortal）

这是Bowie给自己的MV"Ashes to Ashes"画的故事板
