歌词
It's one hazy panoply
那不过是朦胧的甲胄
Recount this halcyon age
叙述着这太平岁月(出自希腊神话,风神女儿Halcyone被托梦深爱的丈夫Ceyx在海中遇难,她因悲痛跳入大海,天神将其双双变成翠鸟,筑巢守护着海上)
I turn to Anthony
我转过身面向安东尼
When he turned to Karleinz and Cage
而他又转向卡伦兹和凯奇
But no one's really there
可实际上哪里都是空无一人的
Does that mean it's done in vain
那是不是说明一切都是无用之功呢
If no one really cares
如果根本没有人在意
I'm back to acting strange
我将重新开始变得行为怪异
Like Daniel Johnston in Texas
就像在德克萨斯的丹尼尔·约翰斯顿(一位歌手,音乐家,视觉艺术家)
At some point in the eighties
在那八十世纪的年代
Passing out his cassettes with
将他的那些卡式磁带和J卡
The j-card that he drew oh did he ever expect it
随处分发,哦,他是否曾期盼过呢
I guess it's just what happens when the music's a respite
我猜测这大概就是音乐开始延缓时所发生的事
The world is so appalling and you come to detest it
这世界骇人听闻,你开始厌恶它
And you could say that I was nervous then
你也可以说是我太过焦虑
Fairly awkward now
然后现在又完全笨拙起来
Leave the speakers loud
大声放开音响
When you feel self doubt
当你陷入自我循环般的怀疑
If there's any chance
若这里有任何一个机会
That we'd still hang out
我们还能一起出來玩
We could detail dreams
细细描述昨晚的美好梦境
While we stare at passing clouds
在我们盯着铅灰的云层发呆之际
那些充满形式的作品
Those modal masterworks
看起来真是毫无韵律呢
Atonal oeuvres it seems
每当我问起后续
When I ask afterwards
所有的信息就会销声匿迹
All message lost inbetween
那一环环移动的光圈
The shifting aperture
描绘着被阳光浸泡的景象
Depicting sun-soaked scenes
我想它们都有共鸣的吧
I guess they resonate
那是一场宇宙般的觉悟
That's Universal Consciousness
带起两次升华
Take two of Ascension
爵士之形(Ornette Coleman的代表专辑,一场经典)
The Shape of Jazz to Come and
与劳拉·斯皮格(一位作曲家)的创作
Laurie Spiegel's inventions
欧·罗克(一位政治讽刺家,记者)或是奥利夫洛斯(一位作曲家,手风琴演奏家)都值得被提起
O'Rourke or Zorn and Oliveros all deserve mention
你在房间里翩翩起舞,没人曾注意到
You're dancing in a room and no one's paying attention
我眼中的欢愉紧贴你身,有灼灼的目光
Addressing my reception with a focused eye
献给那一朵朵穿过的云吧
To the passing clouds
我将为你滞留此地
I'll be there for you
当你情绪低落不已
When you're feeling down
任何一天
Any given day
你都能在沮丧的小溪流里
You can find me 'round
发现我划着木舟缓缓驶来
In a despondent way
你都能在出神的时光里,发现我就在你身边
In a study best called brown
