And I think people, I talk to a lot of musicians, a lot of bands, about being away from home for a long time.

我和很多音樂人、很多樂隊都聊過離家很長時間的事情。

And some of them are just like, I need to open the mail.

有些人就會說，我需要打開郵件。

Well, that's the thing.

這就是問題所在。

I really don't, the thing is, I don't ever want to not enjoy it.

And I love tours so much.

我非常喜歡旅遊。

The mail or the tour?

How did you get so smart at 22 years old?

你怎麼會在 22 歲時變得如此聰明？

I mean, I really feel like you had it figured out the first time I met you.

我是說，我第一次見到你的時候，就覺得你很有辦法。

From all the talk shows.

所有脫口秀節目

Is that what it is?

是這樣嗎？

It helps you think it through, being interviewed?

It was more that I was kind of playing up, though.

你知道嗎？

It did.

的確如此。

I just.

我只是

Yeah.

是啊

Yeah.

是啊

I was holding it last night, and suddenly it felt much heavier.

昨晚我拿著它，突然感覺它重了許多。

Now, in the olden times, what they would do was they'd spray paint the album platinum, and they'd put it in a plaque.

在過去，他們會把專輯噴成鉑金色 然後放在一個牌子上。

And then they'd put it up on the wall, and you'd have a platinum album on the wall.

然後他們會把它掛在牆上，你就能在牆上看到一張白金唱片了。

Do they do that anymore?

他們還這樣做嗎？

I don't know.

我不知道。

We should do it right now.

我們應該現在就做。

Well, if you don't have one, then they don't do it.

好吧，如果你沒有，那他們就不做。

I don't think.

我不這麼認為。

I think that sounds more fun to me.

我覺得這聽起來更有趣。

Call the record company and demand it.

給唱片公司打電話，提出要求。

In fact, I'm sure they're working on it right now.

事實上，我相信他們現在正在努力。

And also, this album.

還有這張專輯。

Another thing that I just noticed, actually, is it used to be two sides to the album.

實際上，我剛剛注意到的另一件事是，這張專輯曾經有兩面。

Now it's just this is the album.

現在，它就是這張專輯。

This is the whole deal right here, right?

這就是整個交易，對吧？

That was a choice, because I wanted to.

這是我的選擇，因為我想這麼做。

It's short.

很短。

It's pretty short.

很短。

It's not too many songs.

歌曲不多。

The songs themselves are pretty long, but it's only 10 songs.

歌曲本身很長，但只有 10 首。

We actually specifically had to be under 44 minutes total.

實際上，我們特別要求總時長在 44 分鐘以內。

You did? Why?

是你嗎？為什麼？

Yeah, because I wanted it to be done as fast as possible.

是的，因為我想盡快完成。

So if it was under 44 minutes, it could be one side, and then it could be done in three months.

是以，如果不超過 44 分鐘，就可以只做一面，然後在三個月內完成。

What's on the other side?

另一邊是什麼？

Nothing?

什麼都沒有？

There's no other side.

沒有另一邊。

So wait, it's bald on the other side?

等等，另一邊是禿的？

No, when there's two sides.

不，有兩面性。

It's all glued together.

都粘在一起了。

Wait, you don't even know this.

等等，你連這個都不知道。

When there's two sides, it's two vinyls, Jimmy.

如果有兩面，那就是兩張唱片，吉米。

No, when it's two.

不，是兩個人的時候。

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

是啊，是啊，是啊。

Come on.

來吧

I was a dish jockey for a long time.

我當了很長時間的盤子騎師。

The vinyl has two sides.

乙烯基有兩面。

Yeah, right.

是啊，沒錯。

But it's just those songs.

但這只是那些歌而已。

OK, oh, so you still have two sides.

好吧，你還是有兩面性。

There's two sides, but usually it's two vinyls.

有兩面，但通常是兩張唱片。

I think they tricked you, is what happened.

我覺得他們騙了你，就是這麼回事。

Tried to get the album sooner.

想早點拿到專輯。

I do like, though, that you still make albums, because I think a lot of artists are just like,

不過，我喜歡你還在製作專輯，因為我覺得很多藝術家都是這樣、

I'm just going to release single after single as I make them.

我只打算在製作完成後發行一張又一張單曲。

Right.

對

Is that important to you, to have albums?

擁有專輯對你來說重要嗎？

Very important.

非常重要。

There's nothing wrong with any of that stuff, but I've always been such an album lover, and I really love when something feels like one piece and is cohesive and is thought through.

這些東西都沒有錯，但我一直是個專輯愛好者，我真的很喜歡那些感覺像一張專輯、有凝聚力、經過深思熟慮的東西。

And, you know, like, specifically with this album, a lot of it, it's so thought through.

這張專輯中的很多內容都是經過深思熟慮的。

Like, even the set list and all the songs and the order of them and where they sit is, like, extreme.

就像，就連節目單和所有歌曲的順序以及它們的位置都非常極端。

We really worked hard on it.

我們真的很努力。

Do you, when you are arranging the set list, how do you approach that exactly?

你在安排節目單時，具體是怎麼做的？

It really, it's like a long process.

這真的是一個漫長的過程。

I'll write down all the names, and then I'll, like, tear them up, and then I'll move them, and then move them, and then change them around, and then take some out and put them back in to make sure that it feels right.

我會寫下所有的名字，然後把它們撕掉，再把它們移來移去，換來換去，然後把一些名字拿掉，再放回去，以確保感覺是對的。

And then I'll listen to them back to back, and then sometimes they'll sound wrong, and I'll move them.

然後我會背對背地聽，有時它們聽起來不對，我就把它們移開。

It's all about, like, dynamics and, like, the flow of it.

這一切都與動態和流程有關。

And also, then once we choose it, it's making all of the songs kind of go into themselves so they all flow.

此外，一旦我們選定了歌曲，就會讓所有歌曲都融入其中，讓它們都流暢起來。

Like, you know, the White Album by the Beatles is one of my favorites in the world.

披頭士的《白色專輯》是我最喜歡的唱片之一。

And something I love so much about it is it's cohesive.

我最喜歡的一點是它的凝聚力。

It's like, thank you.

這就像，謝謝你。

It's like, every song goes into the next song.

這就像，每首歌都會進入下一首歌。

And that, there's just not much of that anymore.

而現在，這種情況已經不多了。

I feel like it's like single, single, single, single, single.

我感覺就像單身、單身、單身、單身、單身。

You're right, and I like that you think about that.

你說得對，我喜歡你這樣想。

Do you go on, like, Spotify or whatever the platform is and see how many listens each song has, and then wonder, like, which one is your favorite of the songs on this album?

你會不會上 Spotify 或其他什麼平臺，看看每首歌的收聽率，然後想，這張專輯裡哪首歌是你最喜歡的？

My favorite, um.

我的最愛

You've got Skinny, you've got Lunch, you've got Chi.

你有 Skinny，你有 Lunch，你有 Chi。

Go on, go on.

繼續，繼續。

I'm blind, so I can't see.

我是個瞎子，所以看不見。

Chihiro, Birds of a Feather, Wildflower of the Greatest,

千尋》、《百鳥朝鳳》、《最偉大的野花》、

L'amour de ma vie, The Diner, Bittersweet, and Blue.

L'amour de ma vie》、《The Diner》、《Bittersweet》和《Blue》。

He, he, he, he, um.

他，他，他，他，嗯。

Did I pronounce poorly?

我發音不標準嗎？

Well, you know, somebody asked me if there, if it's like all, like, they're all in a horse race, and one of them, like, they're, like, trying to get to first place in my head.

好吧，你知道，有人問我，如果有，如果這就像所有的一樣，他們都在賽馬，其中一個一樣，他們一樣，試圖讓第一名在我的腦海裡。

And it's, it's, it's almost as if it was like a horse race, but all the horses were really happy to be running.

這，這，這幾乎就像是一場賽馬，但所有的馬都非常高興地奔跑著。

And also, there were, and none of them cared about being first.

此外，還有一些人，他們都不在乎是否是第一。

You know what?

你知道嗎？

These do sound like horse, race horse names.

這些名字聽起來確實像馬、賽馬的名字。

They do.

他們是這樣做的。

They totally do.

他們就是這樣做的。

But I just mean that, like, I love them all so much.

但我的意思是，我太愛他們了。

I mean, this is my favorite thing I've ever made, and I feel so proud of it.

我是說，這是我做過的最喜歡的東西，我為它感到驕傲。

And like, yeah, I have, you know, the greatest is something

就像，是的，我有，你知道，最偉大的東西就是

I, I love so much, Shihiro, I love.

我，我愛死你了，志保，我愛死你了。

But again, even when I say that the songs that I like a lot, like, I love them all so much.

但同樣，即使我說我非常喜歡的歌曲，我也非常喜歡它們。

And I'm not trying to f*** you.

我不是想跟你上床

I love them all so much.

我太愛他們了。

Listen, I believe you.

聽著，我相信你。

Why wouldn't you love them?

你為什麼不愛它們？

You probably wouldn't put them on the album if you didn't.

如果不是這樣，你可能不會把它們放進專輯裡。

Right.

對

I mean, it's got to be weird artists, like, yeah,

我的意思是，這一定是奇怪的藝術家，就像，是的、

I'm going to, I love eight of them, and then the other seven are garbage.

我要去，我喜歡其中的八個，其他七個都是垃圾。

Yeah.

是啊

You also seem to love your fans.

你似乎也很愛你的粉絲。

In fact, we have a video that one of your fans posted.

事實上，我們有一段你的粉絲髮布的視頻。

I know it sounds silly to say you love your fans, because everybody claims they love their fans.

我知道說自己愛粉絲聽起來很傻，因為每個人都說自己愛粉絲。

Well, most artists don't like their fans at all.

大多數藝術家都不喜歡自己的粉絲。

Yeah.

是啊

But here's a video from
