"The strange thing is, is that the lyrics are all quite similar - they all mention God, and Jesus, and the f---ing light and the rapture, and angels," Noel says. "And that's happened very much by coincidence because none of us write together and none of us discuss what we're writing about - that would make us like Radiohead." 他们的新专辑,灵魂释放... "奇怪的是,所有歌词都很像,它们都提到神、耶稣和XXX光和狂喜,还有天使,"Noel说道. "这全属巧合,因为我们没有一起写歌,也没有讨论自己正在写些什麽, 我们才不像Radiohead咧" "I can't stand it when bands say, you know, on this album we really stepped out of our comfort zone. What does that mean? This is not a f---ing game. This is soul, man. It's about humanity. It's not a test. People who went to university are always trying to get themselves out of their comfort zone and I always say, 'I'm working class. It's taken me 15 years to build a comfort zone and I'm not getting out of it for no f---er."' "我无法忍受有乐团说,你知道的,这张专辑我们真的走出自己的舒适区[有所突破], 这是什麽意思?这不是一场游戏.这是灵魂,老兄.这是人性.不是测试.读过大学的人总是 试着跨出自己的舒适区,而我总是说'我是劳工阶级.建立一个舒适区花了我15年,我不会 为了哪个混蛋跨出这个区域.'" "You know, I saw my dad every day and look how that turned out. My kids understand - well, my daughter does - that dad's got to go to work. I've just had two years off. My son's only nine months old, so he doesn't f---ing know anyway, but my daughter understands that I'm not going to be around much for a year-and-a-half, but after that year-and-a-half I'm going to be around for two years. And they've got a wealthy dad. They'll get nice cars on their 17th birthdays," he says, laughing. "你知道,我以前每天看着我爸,看着事情会变成怎样.我的孩子了解-呃,我的女儿了解- 老爸必须去工作.我刚休息两年.我儿子只有九个月大,所以他不会知道,但我的女儿知道 我大概有一年半不会在她身边,但一年半之後有大概两年的时间我又会出现.他们有个有钱 的老爸.他们17岁生日时会得到一辆好车,"他笑着说. Noel says parenthood this time around is a vastly different experience. When Anais was born, he says, he and Mathews were coming to the end of a marriage that had begun at the height of Britpop and all of the madness that had ensued with the period. (Noel says that when he and his wife gave up drugs, they discovered they had "nothing to talk about".) Noel说现在他对当父亲这件事 跟以前有完全不同的体验. 他说Anais出生时,他和Mathews 正走到婚姻的尽头,并开始登临 英摇 及 随之而来的狂热 的颠峰.(Noel说当他和妻子 戒毒後,他们发现彼此"无话可聊") "It's great - it's nice to have a boy, to have a son and heir. He's a great lad. Really, really good natured. It's going to be nice, because my daughter is obsessed with ponies and all that girl stuff, and I'm a bit like, 'OK, whatever,"' he says, throwing his hands up. "It'll be nice to have a lad if he's into football and, hopefully, music. It would be great to pass the guitars on to somebody, because I don't think my daughter's that interested. She prefers the computer and Girls Aloud." "这很棒-有个儿子很棒,有个儿子和继承人. 他是一个超棒的小子.真的,真的天性温厚, 因为我的女儿很迷小马还有那些女孩子的玩意儿,所以我有点像是,'好吧,也只有这样啦' 他双手一摊,"有个儿子很棒 如果他很热爱足球,还有他可能也会喜欢音乐的话.如果能把 吉他传给某人,会很棒,因为我不认为我女儿有那麽感兴趣,她比较喜欢电脑和Girls Aloud (呛女生合唱团)" In fact, Noel says he often has to get his daughter's help for technological advice. "She just gets on the computer, and goes, tap, tap, tap. I don't know what the f--- she's doing." 事实上,Noel说他经常必须向女儿寻求技术建议. "她就跑到电脑前,然後开始敲敲敲. 我完全不知道她在做什麽." He's not big on downloading individual tunes online, either. "All the soul's gone out of it, you know? Imagine if The White Album came out now: 'Oh, I'll just take tracks one, two, seven, and nine.' F--- off." 他也不热衷线上下载歌曲."所有灵魂都消失了,你知道吗?想像一下如果白色专辑现在推出: '欧.我只要第一、第二、第七和第九首.' 烂透了." ... "When I was in my 20s and writing Definitely Maybe, to me that was my entire life. It was just based around this guitar that I had and writing songs. And I had nothing else in my life. I had no money, I didn't have a wife or kids, I had no baggage. It was just me against the world. You fast forward 15 years and you've got kids and money, so you're writing from a different perspective, so in that sense, it changes." "当我二十多岁在写Definitely Maybe时,对我来说那就是我人生的全部. 就是环绕着我的 那把吉他还有写歌. 我没有钱,没有妻儿,没有行李,只有我独自面对世界. 时间快转十五年後, 你有了孩子和财富,所以你用不同的观点来写歌,以这个角度来说, 是有改变的." ...[这张专辑也有其他团员写的歌]... "I find it difficult to talk about his songs because every time I do, he's like, 'That's not f---ing what it's about', so he can speak for himself," Noel says, sighing. "我觉得很难谈论他的歌,因为每次我谈 他就会表现出'这才不是这首歌的意思'的样子, 所以可以让他自己谈"Noel叹气道. In fact, Noel says he doesn't understand the fascination people - and particularly the media - have over his relationship with his brother. He says he doesn't think their constant bickering and arguments are anything unusual at all. 事实上,Noel说他不了解人们,特别是媒体,为什麽对他们兄弟的关系那麽着迷. 他说他们不停的斗嘴和争执没什麽特别的. "Me and Liam can say disgracefully hurtful things to one another and the other guys in the band will be going, 'F---ing hell,"' he says, "But imagine being in a professional relationship with your brother and trying to share the limelight for 15 years. It would drive you f---ing insane. "我和Liam可以对彼此骂出很伤人的话,乐团里其他人就会开始骂XXX,"他说"但是想像一下 跟你的兄弟当事业夥伴,然後试着分享聚光灯15年.这当然会让人抓狂." "As much as we don't get on, we don't not get on. He's my brother, that's where it ends. He's the last person in the world I'd go for a drink with - the last person. Seriously. If there was Armageddon tomorrow and I was walking through the nuclear waste of the planet and I saw him coming towards me in the distance, I'd be like, 'Couldn't it have not been someone else? Did it have to be you?' And he would think the same thing." "我们合不来就是合不来. 他是我弟,结束. 全世界的人都死光了,我才会找他一起 去喝一杯, 我是认真的. 如果明天是世界末日,然後我跋涉过整个地球的核废料(??), 看到他从远方朝我走来,我会说'就不能是别人吗? 一定要是你吗?' 他也会有一样的想法." Noel says outside of music, football - specifically, Manchester City - remains his passion, but then adds, surprisingly, that his mate Ringo Starr is doing his best to get him to step back and smell the roses. Literally. "I saw him not too long ago and I was asking him what he was doing in England - because he lives in LA - and he says," doing a spot-on impersonation of Starr, "'I always come back to England for the Chelsea Flower Show - have you ever been to the Chelsea Flower Show?' Noel说除了音乐之外,足球,特别是曼城,是他的最爱,但是又令人惊讶地补充道, 他的朋友林哥史塔用尽全力让他 退一步去闻玫瑰花香. 真的. Noel维妙维肖地模仿史塔 "我不久前见到他,他说:我总是会回到英格来参加Chelsea花展 你有没有去过Chelsea花展啊?" "And I'm going, 'Well, no, I haven't.' So I say, 'Why do you go there for?' And he looks at me, like really surprised, and says, 'To see the flowers.' He's like, 'You should really go and see the flowers. They're beautiful.' And I thought, 'What a f---ing hippie,' and then I thought, 'Well, maybe I'll check it out next year.' You know, he is a f---ing Beatle, after all." "然後我说'呃,没有,我没去过.'然後我接着问'你去那里做什麽?'他好像真的很惊讶地 看着我说'赏花啊.你真的应该去看看花的,它们很美.''呃,也许我明年会去看看' 你知道的他毕竟是一只XXX甲虫." ---------------------------------------------------- 真是太幽默了,Noel每篇访谈都好有趣... --
