到現在為止我已經寫歌 15 年了，
04:05
I've been writing them for 15 years now,
48
233005
2389
04:07
and to be honest, over that time,
49
235418
3006
實話說，這些年以來，
我甚至覺得它們
其實一點也不傷感。
其實一點也不傷感。
04:10
I've come to kind of believe
that they're not really depressing at all.
that they're not really depressing at all.
50
238448
3339
04:14
In fact, I think they're kind of the most
important songs we have.
important songs we have.
51
242196
3283
事實上，我認為它們是
我們擁有的最重要的歌。
我們擁有的最重要的歌。
04:18
Songs that sing of sorrow,
52
246317
3124
這些歌，歌唱著惋惜、
悲傷、
04:21
of grief,
53
249465
1151
渴望、
04:22
of longing,
54
250640
1358
愛的黑暗面、
04:24
of the darker side of love,
55
252022
2164
活著的另一面，
04:26
the underside of being alive,
56
254210
2431
我從未厭倦聼這樣的歌曲，
04:28
these are the songs
I just never tire of hearing
I just never tire of hearing
57
256665
2842
也從未厭倦去寫這樣的歌，
04:31
and I never tire of writing,
58
259531
2211
因為它們讓我不再感到孤獨。
04:33
because they make me feel less alone.
59
261766
2099
04:36
They speak to a very real
part of being human
part of being human
60
264973
3325
它們在述說著
作為人非常真實的一部分，
作為人非常真實的一部分，
這些感情通常藏匿於恐懼和屈辱，
04:40
that can often be hidden in fear and shame
61
268322
2621
被深埋心底，徘徊、腐爛。
04:42
and pushed deep down
where it lingers and rots.
where it lingers and rots.
62
270967
2574
04:46
But I think in listening to these songs --
63
274318
2179
但是我相信如果我們用心聼這些歌，
真正用心聼，
04:48
really listening --
64
276521
2079
能讓我們重新去感受這些艱難的感情，
04:50
can allow us to refeel
these hard emotions,
these hard emotions,
65
278624
4390
但是以一種宣洩和療癒的方式。
04:55
but in a cathartic and healing way.
66
283038
2268
04:57
In a way that reminds us, as we listen,
that we're not alone in darkness.
that we're not alone in darkness.
67
285999
5007
在我們聆聽的同時，也提醒我們，
黑暗中的我們不孤獨。
黑暗中的我們不孤獨。
05:04
There's a Japanese phrase
known as "mono no aware,"
known as "mono no aware,"
68
292676
4743
日語裡有一句話，
「物の哀れ（真情流露）」，
「物の哀れ（真情流露）」，
05:09
which roughly translates
as "the bittersweet poignancy of things,"
as "the bittersweet poignancy of things,"
69
297443
4795
可以大致翻譯為
「萬物皆有苦樂參半的心酸」
「萬物皆有苦樂參半的心酸」
05:14
or the pathos or "ahness" of things.
70
302262
3412
或是凄楚之情或對事物的「哀嘆」。
05:18
It's a valuable awareness of impermanence,
71
306428
3087
這是對世事無常的一種珍貴的認識，
05:22
both a kind of gentle, transient
sadness as things pass by in life,
sadness as things pass by in life,
72
310324
5019
也是一種溫柔、轉瞬即逝，
對生命中擦身而過的事物的感傷，
對生命中擦身而過的事物的感傷，
但也是一種更深的、
更加纏綿的憂傷，
更加纏綿的憂傷，
05:27
but also a deeper,
softly lingering sadness
softly lingering sadness
73
315367
4664
關於對於現實中一切事物的短暫性。
05:32
about the impermanence of all reality.
74
320055
2257
05:34
"Mono no aware" can be manifest
in lots of life stories and moments
in lots of life stories and moments
75
322939
4986
「物の哀れ」顯現在生活中
很多的故事和時刻裡
很多的故事和時刻裡
還有歌裡。
05:39
and songs.
76
327949

在日本文化裡有一個例子
就是慶祝櫻花的盛開。
就是慶祝櫻花的盛開。
05:41
One example in Japanese culture
is the celebration of the cherry blossom.
is the celebration of the cherry blossom.
77
329162
4172
05:46
The cherry blossom in and of itself
is no more impressive
is no more impressive
78
334262
3096
櫻花盛開的本身並沒有比
一棵蘋果或橘子樹的盛開更令人驚艷，
05:49
than that of an apple or orange tree,
79
337382
3088
但它的與衆不同
在於它盛開時間的短暫。
在於它盛開時間的短暫。
05:52
but what sets it apart is its brevity.
80
340494
2415
05:55
Cherry blossoms fall
within a single week --
within a single week --
81
343564
2825
盛開的櫻花樹會在一周内凋零，
落花會被溫和的風兒帶走，
05:58
can be whisked away
on the gentlest breeze --
on the gentlest breeze --
82
346413
2357
06:01
and it's this that makes it
more beautiful.
more beautiful.
83
349686
2073
這讓它顯得更美麗。
06:04
It's utterly fragile,
84
352536
1817
它太易碎了，
易碎感帶給生命感傷。
06:06
and fragility gives life its poignancy.
85
354377
2493
06:09
Now, being a cheery chap,
86
357918
1332
我是一個愉快的傢伙，
沒有什麼比這更能說明我了，而且——
06:11
nothing speaks to me more
than this, and --
than this, and --
87
359274
2818
（笑聲）
06:14
(Laughter)
88
362116
1262
你知道，我覺得這也是
我這些年來創作的精髓，
我這些年來創作的精髓，
06:15
you know, I think it's been the essence
of my songwriting for years,
of my songwriting for years,
89
363402
4393
觸動我去寫，
06:19
of what moves me to write,
90
367819
1812
鼓舞我去唱出來。
06:21
what inspires me to sing.
91
369655
1728
06:24
Because pain and grief and doubt,
92
372052
3182
因為傷痛、悲傷和疑惑，
當它們在音樂、歌曲中呈現，
06:27
when it's made manifest
in music, in song --
in music, in song --
93
375258
3532
由美麗的詩歌和畫面組成，
06:30
when it's made beautiful
in poetry and painting,
in poetry and painting,
94
378814
3690
06:36
it can build a community and a kinship
95
384097
2547
可以建立社區和聯繫，
那就是在黑暗中
沒有一個人是孤獨的。
沒有一個人是孤獨的。
06:38
in the knowledge that we are
none of us alone in darkness.
none of us alone in darkness.
96
386668
3712
06:43
My next song is one
that I call "Killing Me,"
that I call "Killing Me,"
97
391243
4277
我的下一首歌是《殺了我》，
就像歌名說的一樣，
06:47
and as the name suggests,
98
395544
1198
不適合跳舞。
06:48
it's not a dance floor favorite.
99
396766
1843
（笑聲）
06:50
(Laughter)
100
398633
1001
但也沒有那麽痛苦。
06:51
But it isn't miserable.
101
399658
2813
06:55
It's full of love and hope.
102
403073
2055
它充滿愛和希望。
06:57
And I think it exemplifies everything
I've been talking about.
I've been talking about.
103
405176
3016
我覺得它就是
我剛剛所說的一切的最好例子。
我剛剛所說的一切的最好例子。
07:00
And it's the first song I've written
from the perspective of somebody else,
from the perspective of somebody else,
104
408192
4506
這是我為一個人而寫的第一首歌，
這個人就是我的祖母，
07:04
specifically my grandmother,
105
412722
2445
當我祖父去世後，她獨自生活，
07:07
as she lives on without
my late grandfather,
my late grandfather,
106
415191
2389
07:10
as she experiences
new things in her life --
new things in her life --
107
418412
2303
在她的人生中，
她也在經歷新的事情——
她也在經歷新的事情——
07:13
her grandchildren getting married,
108
421510
2645
她的孫子們結婚了，
有了他們自己的孩子，
07:16
having their own children,
109
424179
1601
在 TED 演說。
07:17
speaking at TED --
110
425804
1150
07:20
all the while she lives without,
111
428358
1528
為了那些她獨自生活的時刻，
也為了她一直想念的靈魂伴侶。
07:21
and all the while she misses
her soul mate.
her soul mate.
112
429910
2487
07:24

115
453083
4334
（唱）甜心，今天你會醒來嗎？
07:52
I promise you would recognize my faith
116
460120
4122
我向你保證
你會認出我的信心

07:58
I want to show you
how I've grown in this place

我想讓你看看
我在此如何長大

08:05
In this place I'm not alone
118
473825
3348
在這個地方
我不再孤獨
我不再孤獨
08:09
And I know I'll be OK
119
477542
2746
而且我明白我會很好
08:13
But it's always harder
When the winter comes to stay
When the winter comes to stay
120
481248
6810
但是當冬天來臨
一切都是那麽艱難
一切都是那麽艱難
08:20
And I can't help remember
all the words I never said
all the words I never said
121
488082
6632
而且我情不自禁想起
那些我從未說過的話
那些我從未說過的話
08:30
And it's killing me
That you're not here with me
That you're not here with me
122
498870
5826
它正在殺了我，我無法承受
因為你不在我身旁
因為你不在我身旁
08:37
I'm living happily
123
505409
2804
我開心地生活著
08:40
But I'm feeling guilty
124
508862
2524
但我卻感到愧疚
08:45
And you won't believe
The wonders I can see

你不會相信
我所見到的奇蹟

這個世界正改變著我

Oh, everything is taller these days
129
535477
4684
哦，這些日子裡
一切都變得如此高大
一切都變得如此高大
09:14
Maybe I feel smaller
and time rushes away
and time rushes away
130
542370
6246
也許是因為我感到了自己的渺小
而時間正匆匆而逝
而時間正匆匆而逝
09:21
So much I could show you
131
549560
3422
我有那麽多想與你分享
我們所有的曾孫子們是如何
09:25
How all the great-grandchildren

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Luke Sital-Singh - Singer-songwriterLuke Sital-Singh plumbs emotional depths to write tender, tuneful songs.
Why you should listen
Luke Sital-Singh is an internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter from the UK. In 2012 he released his debut single "Fail For You," which first introduced to the world his deft ability to craft songs with a mesmerizing piercing emotional quality. The song went on to be featured in numerous TV shows including Grey’s Anatomy. At the end of 2013, Sital-Singh was featured in the BBC's Sound of 2014 list and signed to Parlophone records, who released his debut record The Fire Inside later that year.
After a couple of years touring the world and opening for artist such as Villagers, The Staves, Martha Wainwright and Kodaline, in 2017 Sital-Singh released his sophomore record Time Is A Riddle, which featured the stand out song "Killing Me." His songs are rich and somber and have the tendency to stop you in your tracks. Of his songwriting, Sital-Singh says: "I like writing about the heavy things. There’s a lot of shallow stuff out there and that’s fine for certain contexts. My fun is diving as deep as I can. Inside myself and, if I can, inside others and writing songs that are as honest as I can make them. Honest to the struggles we all face, the sadness but more importantly, the hope."
