Now, I've got a story for you.

3000
Imam jednu priču za vas.
00:33
When I arrived off the plane,
2
8000
3000
Kada sam sišla sa zrakoplova,
00:36
after a very long journey from the West of England,
3
11000
3000
nakon vrlo dugog puta sa zapada Engleske,
00:39
my computer, my beloved laptop,
4
14000
3000
moje računalo, moje je ljubljeno prijenosno računalo,
00:42
had gone mad,
5
17000
3000
poludjelo,
00:45
and had -- oh! -- a bit like that! --
6
20000
3000
i -- oh! -- pomalo kao to! --
00:48
and the display on it --
7
23000
3000
i njegov je zaslon --
00:51
anyway, the whole thing had burst.
8
26000
3000
uglavnom, sve se pokvarilo.
00:54
And I went to the IT guys here
9
29000
4000
Otišla sam do informatičara ovdje
00:58
and a gentleman mended my computer,
10
33000
4000
i jedan mi je gospodin popravio računalo,
01:02
and then he said, "What are you doing here?"
11
37000
3000
a zatim je rekao, "Što radite ovdje?"
01:05
and I said "I'm playing the cello and I'm doing a bit of singing,"
12
40000
3000
rekla sam "Sviram violončelo i pomalo pjevam,"
01:08
and he said, "Oh, I sort of play the cello as well."
13
43000
3000
a on je rekao, "Oh, i ja pomalo sviram violončelo."
01:11
And I said, "Do you really?"
14
46000
3000
Rekla sam, "Doista?"
01:14
Anyway, so you're in for a treat,
15
49000
2000
Uglavnom, slijedi poslastica,
01:16
because he's fantastic, and his name's Mark.
16
51000
2000
zato što je fantastičan i zove se Mark.
01:18
(Applause)
17
53000
3000
(Pljesak)
01:21
I am also joined by my partner in crime, Thomas Dolby.
18
56000
5000
Surađujem i sa svojim partnerom u zločinu, Thomasom Dolbyjem.
01:26
(Applause)
19
61000
3000
(Pljesak)
01:29
This song is called "Farther than the Sun."
20
64000
3000
Ova se pjesma zove "Farther than the Sun."

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Caroline Lavelle - Cellist; singer-songwriterEqually talented on cello and vocals, Caroline Lavelle has created a performance style all her own. Her expansive talents, channeling the best of both classical and contemporary influences, have earned her comparisons to both Kate Bush and Jacqueline du Pré.
Why you should listen
Connecting the best of British chamber folk and folk rock to modern electronic music, Caroline Lavelle is frequently sought out for both her vocals and her cello playing. The genre-bridging cellist has collaborated with the likes of Peter Gabriel, Laurie Anderson, Radiohead, the Cranberries, BT, Massive Attack and William Orbit, among others (she reportedly inspired Madonna to pursue her own successful collaboration with Orbit).
In her TED performance of "Further than the Sun," Lavelle plays the cello like a sorceress casting a spell, occasionally hiding behind her wild mane of blond hair as she sings of pastoral themes. She's produced three solo albums -- A Distant Bell (2004), Brilliant Midnight (2001) and Spirit (1995) -- and is a touring member of the Chieftains.
