Listen up and I’ll tell a story
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
Others aren’t so bold

Everyone, and friends and family
Saying, “Hey! Get a job!”
“Why do you only do that only?
Why are you so odd?
We don’t really like what you do.
We don’t think anyone ever will.
It’s a problem that you have,
And this problem’s made you ill.”

Listen up and I’ll tell a story
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
Others aren’t so bold

The artist walks alone
Someone says behind his back,
“He’s got his gall to call himself that!
He doesn’t even know where he’s at!”
The artist walks among the flowers
Appreciating the sun
He does this all his waking hours
But is it really so wrong?

They sit in front of their TV
Saying, “Hey! This is fun!”
And they laugh at the artist
Saying, “He doesn’t know how to have fun.”
The best things in life are truly free
Singing birds and laughing bees
“You’ve got me wrong”, says he.
“The sun don’t shine in your TV”

Listen up and I’ll tell a story
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
Others aren’t so bold

Everyone, and friends and family
Saying, “Hey! Get a job!”
“Why do you only do that only?
Why are you so odd?
We don’t really like what you do.
We don’t think anyone ever will.
It’s a problem that you have,
And this problem’s made you ill.”

Listen up and I’ll tell a story
About an artist growing old.
Some would try for fame and glory
Others just like to watch the world.

听好了我要说一个故事
关于一个艺术家如何变老
有些人追寻名誉和荣耀
有些人则并不那么在意

每个人,朋友和家庭
都会说:“嘿,去找个工作!”
“你为什么只做那些事?
你为什么那么古怪?
我们真的不喜欢你做的那些事情。
我们不认为哪个人会喜欢的。
这就是你的问题,
而这种问题会让你变得病态。”

听好了我要说一个故事
关于一个艺术家如何变老
有些人追寻名誉和荣耀
有些人则并不那么在意

艺术家独自走着
有些人就在在他的背后议论纷纷
“他以为自己是什么人,
他根本不知道自己的位置。”
艺术家在花丛中穿行
赞美太阳
他每天就这样行走着
但是否真的如此错误?

他们坐在他们的电视前
说:“嘿!这真有趣!”
然后他们嘲笑艺术家
说:“你是一个不懂得取乐的人。”
生命中最美好的事情是真正的自由
歌唱的鸟和欢笑的蜜蜂
“你说错了”,他说。
“太阳不会在你的电视里照耀。”

听好了我要说一个故事
关于一个艺术家如何变老
有些人追寻名誉和荣耀
有些人则并不那么在意

……

听好了我要说一个故事
关于一个艺术家如何变老
有些人追求名誉和荣耀
而有些人只想旁观世界

Dead Lovers Twisted Heart

Starlight Mints翻唱Daniel Johnston收入于《Discovered Covered》。Daniel Johnston每一次被我间歇性地听起来,都会强烈地感动,好像有一个人能够告诉你:我们只是情感比较丰富而已。

一幼的老师孩子好像搜索到了我的BLOG。我被围观了。她们亲热地和我讨论了上一篇BLOG的内容,导致了我都不敢轻易说什么。

最近在做剪纸和红楼梦的项目,昨天晚上,查着金陵十二钗判词,看着译言,不知不觉时间就过去了。回到家已经十二点多。

不知不觉,时间都过去了。

夜景很美,不是华丽的灯火,而是高耸的被拆除的楼房。今天带了相机,晚上也许去拍一些吧。

还是听歌吧。

Though the whole world be blown apart
No matter how dumb or how smart
Still beats beneath the rocky rumble
The dead lover’s twisted heart
It’s too late to stop or start
Anything else would never reach great art
‘Cept the lonely faithful longing
The dead lover’s twisted heart
Though the wind is blowing free
And the sun is shining happy
Though your faces show no sympathy
For buried deep beneath the shopping mart
The dead lover’s twisted heart
Though this story sad it is
Wrapped in sorrow, borne of mystery
It was years of painless suffering
The dead lover’s twisted heart

今日提交明日答案

Tomorrow’s Answers Today.在我这无内容的BLOG里,终于能够带给某些人一些有用的话。它出自荷兰的AkzoNobel公司。每次去的时候都感到那种拥抱宇宙的广阔胸襟,想想自己感到十分惭愧。
我们每天都在担心,每天都在想:明天会是怎么样的?后天又会是如何?我的未来会好吗?或者是考虑着过去,回头看看那些曾经发生的事情!让人无法接受,无法继续是吗?就好像你从泥泞中走出来,看看双脚满是泥巴,你担心明天泥巴会干了,这再也不是一双干净舒服的鞋子了,这真让人心碎。再看看身后泥泞的道路,于是开始怀疑这一切值得不值得?
重要的是你今天怎么想,怎么做不是吗。明天会怎样,我不知道,谁也不知道。今天你对得起自己,付出了努力,准备好明天的收获了吗?今天你种下的种子,将会在明天结出果实,告诉我,你抛下了什么种子?期待什么样的结果?
天啊,我没有办法说道理了。以上的这两段低分议论文,让我无地自容。你们尽情地嘲笑一个无法条理分明的人吧。每天都在重复地听Daniel Johnston,等待着自己也变成一个感性随意的精神病。现在我在听着《Favorite Darling Girl》,一次又一次重复着。

Just then she talks too loud
She says I’m not allowed
To do this or that
Nothing left to do
Love never comes or goes
Feelings never really show
What will become of us?
No one really knows
She’s back in a little while
Trying to make me smile
I’m lost in the dark
Walking lonely miles
Seems how the years go by
No need to wonder why
Never had a chance to think
It’s all over now…
Memories were wearing thin
I never wore a grin
I guess I just forgot
All had gone to rot
Said she had wrecked my world
My favorite darling girl
Can’t find me a friend
Guess I lost again

 

难以想象,难以确认。会怎么样呢?谁知道。做好今天,管好自己。活在当下,这四个字应该刻在后背上。

true love will find you in the end

我是超级体验者!听着Daniel Johnston快要晕倒了。那种细枝末节,一声一叹,让人心醉心碎啊!这个被心魔所控的可怜诗人!

 

True love will find you in the end
Youll find out just who was your friend
Dont be sad, I know you will,
But dont give up until
True love will find you in the end.

This is a promise with a catch
Only if youre looking can it find you
Cause true love is searching too
But how can it recognize you
Unless you step out into the light, the light?
Dont be sad, I know you will,
But dont give up until
True love will find you in the end.
