You know, in this town.
如你们所知 在当下
An artist really needs a lot of space when they're trying to create something special,
当一位艺术家试着创造一些独特的东西时 他总是需要很多空间
a place to cultivate a world of their won far away from the real world that's around them.
一个供他们开拓的 且远离他们所处世界的个人天地
Luckily for me, I lived right inside the middle of the H of the Hollywood sign.
幸运的是 我就住在好莱坞标志中字母“H”的中间
And this is how I spent most of my nights:
我是这样度过我的大部分夜晚的
perched high above the chaos that swirls within the Cities of the Angels below.
俯瞰静观着下方洛杉矶城的动荡
Now don't get me wrong.
但可别误会我
I love to dip my toe into the muck and mires the city every now and then,
我时不时也喜爱触碰这座城市的阴暗和污浊
especially on Tuesdays.
尤其是在星期二这天
But truthfully, when I am in the middle of making a record
但说实话 在我制作一张专辑的过程中
especially now, when the world is in the middle of such a tumulturous period.
尤其是现在 在这个正动荡不安的时期
I find I really need to take the space from myself,
我发现我很有必要为自己留点空间
far away from real life, to consider what my contribution to the world should be in these dark times.
远离现实生活 来思索我能在这个黑暗时代为世界贡献什么
So each morning, I have the luxury of asking myself :
所以每天早晨 我如获至宝地问我自己
what shall I cook up for my kids today?
今天我该为我的孩子们烹饪什么佳肴呢
Something with a little spice?
是略经调味的
Something with a little bitterness but is ultimately sweet?
还是微苦后甜的
Or shall I take the day off and turn down the fire.
或者干脆闭炉关火给自己放一天假
And just take a moment to send my love to them over the Ether.
并花一点时间通过以太之力把我的的爱传达给他们
Because sometimes just being pure of heart and having good intentions,
因为有时候 纯净内在并心怀好意
and letting them be known
再让他们认识到这些理念
is the most worthy contribution an artist can make.
是一位艺术家能做出的最有价值的贡献
So, even though these times can feel a little bit crazy,
所以 即遍这些日子会让人觉得有些疯狂
they are not so very different from what other generations have experienced at one time or another before.
它们和身处不同时期的其他几代人所经历的一切并无大异
Amidst all the incertainty,
在这诸多不确定性中
and as we transition out of one era into another one,
当我们从一个时期迁往至另一时期时
there's no place I'd rather be than smack-dab in the middle of the 'Hollyweird' making this record for you.
再没有其他什么比得过我正身处的 并为你制作这张专辑的“怪莱坞”更合我心意地方了
Because you and the music, and this place are my love, my life, and my lust for life.
因为你们和音乐 还有这个地方 是我的所爱 我的生命 还有我的生之所求
Lust for Life Coming Soon
新专辑《Lust for Life》即将发行
