As we get older, we have a deeper sense of gratitude and less agitation about accomplishing something material. We spent this tour in the moment and only the moment, appreciating our friends, sharing the stage with Yang Haisong, and sharing the experience with Xiao Song. 摄影:微博@小孙狗仔队 这次巡演几乎每站都有嘉宾乐队,有什么想对各个嘉宾乐队说的话么? 我们很幸运能够与这些很棒的新乐队一起演奏,并看到中国新独立音乐的先锋。感谢您与我们共度这些夜晚并与我们友好相处。忠于自己和对音乐的看法。创作音乐的有意义的生活在于表达,而不是完美,所以创作能够打开你的心扉的音乐,不要担心它是被爱还是被恨,最终你的杯子会被填满。 We are so lucky to play with these great new bands and see the vanguard of new independent music in China. Thank you for spending these nights with us and treating us kindly. Stay true to yourselves and your vision of music. A meaningful life making music is about expression, not perfection, so create music that opens your heart and don’t worry if it’s loved or hated, and in the end your cup will be filled. 摄影:nezha 巡演途中有什么印象深刻的事情发生么? 巡演不是一场梦,也不是一部电影——它是现实生活,它可以是美丽的,也可以是丑陋的,但大部分都是美丽的。我们在舞台上留下了很多美好的回忆,一起创作音乐,深夜觅食,清晨在雾中前往下一个城市,讲内部笑话,在高潮和低谷时互相支持。我们将把彼此之间以及与中国乐迷之间的联系牢记在心,直到我们回来参加下一次巡演。 Touring isn’t a dream or a movie — it’s real life, which can be both beautiful and ugly, but mostly beautiful. We have made so many great memories on stage together making music, late nights searching for food, early mornings moving in a fog to the next town, inside jokes and supporting each other in moments high and low. We’ll carry the bond with each other and with Chinese music fans in our hearts until we’re back for the next tour. 摄影:小叶 微博@LilCany 有什么想对贝斯手杨海崧想说的话么? 杨海崧知道我们对他的想法和感受。我们感谢我们的友谊,感谢他对小嵩很好——我们亲切地称他为“我们的北极星”。 Yang Haisong knows our thoughts and feelings towards him. We are grateful for our friendship, his kindness to Xiao Song — we lovingly call him our North Star. 摄影:Jasper小龙 想对这一轮巡演的观众朋友们说什么? 我们在一起。人们需要音乐,音乐家需要观众。为了营造一种特殊的氛围,我们都需要有勇气放手并屈服于我们可能隐匿在日常生活中的感受。我们非常感谢您花时间听我们的音乐,并花费您的时间和辛苦赚来的钱来一起度过一个晚上。 We’re in this together. People need music and musicians need an audience. And to create a special atmosphere we all need to have the courage to let go and give in to feelings we might keep hidden in our daily lives. We are so grateful you took the time to listen to our music and spend your time and hard earned money to come share one night together. 摄影:fon9k1 最后用音乐来表达一下巡演结束的心情吧。 这是一个简单的问题。每天晚上上台前,应杨海崧的要求,会场会播放John Coltrane的《A Love Supreme》。事实上,我们一直在洛杉矶的家里听 Coltrane 和这张唱片,所以这是一个令人高兴的巧合。这是最能表达我们对这段经历的感受的歌曲——真正的至高无上的爱。 This is an easy question. Each night before we took the stage, at Yang Haisong’s request the venue played “A Love Supreme” by John Coltrane. Actually we listen to Coltrane and this record all the time at home in Los Angeles, so it was kind of a happy coincidence. And that’s the best song to capture our feelings about this experience — truly a love supreme. 谢谢观看!我们下次见! 本次巡演由障碍分享出品 顺便提一句:阿尔平坠落全新专辑《来自遥远未来的地下金曲:I-IV》现已上架兵马司微店,欢迎大家选购!
