It's really quite an honor to be here tonight,
1
6000
4000
今夜能在這裏演唱真是榮幸，
00:22
and I'm really glad that I stayed here and listened
2
10000
6000
我很高興自己待在這裏聆聽，
00:28
because I've really been inspired.
3
16000
3000
因為我真的受到了不小的啟迪。
00:31
And I'm going to play some songs for you tonight
4
19000
5000
今夜我將為你們演奏一些曲子，
00:36
that are, literally, world premieres.
5
24000
2000
這真的是我的首次世界公演。
00:38
I've been working on my new record
6
26000
2000
我一直在為我的新唱片付出努力
00:40
and I've never played these songs for anybody
7
28000
2000
還沒有為任何人演唱過這些歌曲
00:42
except the microphone.
8
30000
2000
除了我的麥克風。
00:44
This is a song that I wrote
9
32000
3000
我寫的這首歌
00:48
about the meaning of technology,
10
36000
5000
是關於科技的意義，
00:53
which goes perfectly with this gathering.
11
41000
3000
和這次會議的目的完美結合。
00:56
I started thinking about -- when I was in college,
12
44000
3000
我開始想起我在大學的時光，
00:59
especially as a blind person,
13
47000
3000
尤其是作為一個盲人學生，
01:02
doing a research paper was a major undertaking.
14
50000
4000
做一份學術論文是一個重要的任務。
01:06
You had to go to the library,
15
54000
2000
你得去圖書館，
01:08
see if you could get them to find the books for you,
16
56000
3000
看看你能不能麻煩別人幫你找到你要的書籍，
01:11
you know, footnotes and all that.
17
59000
2000
你知道的，還要做註腳等等。
01:13
Now you can just go on Google. Just look it up.
18
61000
3000
現在你只需要上谷歌，點下搜尋。
01:16
I wish I had that when I was in college.
19
64000
3000
如果我那時候有谷歌就好了。
01:19
Anyway, this is a song about:
20
67000
3000
不論怎樣，這首歌是關於--
01:22
we have all this, but what are we going to do with it?
21
70000
4000
我們擁有這些科技，但應該怎樣應用它們？
01:26
It's called "All the Answers."
22
74000
3000
歌名是“所有的答案”。

06:03
Thank you.
92
351000
3000
謝謝
06:06
Whew! It's a miracle I didn't make any mistakes on that song.
93
354000
5000
呼！這首歌我一點錯都沒犯，真是個奇跡。
06:11
That's the first time I've ever played it.
94
359000
3000
這是我第一次演奏它。
06:14
(Applause)
95
362000
3000
(觀眾掌聲)
06:20
It's a "feel the fear and do it anyway" kind of thing.
96
368000
4000
這是種“感到恐懼但是還是迎頭而上”的事。
06:26
This next song is a song
97
374000
3000
接下來這首歌
06:29
that started out as a dream -- a childhood dream.
98
377000
3000
來自一個夢境 --- 一個兒時的夢。
06:32
It was one of the titles
99
380000
3000
它的歌名
06:35
that I was sort of thinking about calling my record,
100
383000
4000
是我設想裏的專輯名之一
06:39
except there's a couple of problems.
101
387000
2000
除了有幾個問題
06:41
One thing is, it's unpronounceable.
102
389000
3000
一個是它很難發音。
06:44
And it's a made-up word.
103
392000
2000
並且它是個造出來的詞。
06:46
It's called "Tembererana."
104
394000
2000
它叫“彈撥若然娜”。
06:48
And the song is based on
105
396000
2000
這首歌的基礎
06:50
what I think was my first
106
398000
3000
我覺得是我的第一次
06:53
childhood attempts
107
401000
3000
兒時的嘗試
06:56
to think about invisible forces.
108
404000
3000
去思索看不見的力量。
06:59
So "tembererana" was these dreams,
109
407000
4000
所以“彈撥若然娜”就是這些夢境
07:03
in which I would be running away
110
411000
3000
在夢中，我想從
07:06
from bad feelings -- is the only way I can put it.
111
414000
3000
壞情緒中逃走 -- 我只能這樣去表達它。
07:09
So this is called "Tembererana."
112
417000
4000
所以這就是我的“彈撥若然娜”。
07:13
It's based on an Argentinian rhythm
113
421000
3000
它以一個阿根廷韻調為基礎
07:16
called "carnivalito."
114
424000
2000
一個小型嘉年華的韻調。

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Raul Midon - GuitaristGuitarist and singer Raul Midon blends flamenco, jazz and R&B to create a category-defying sound. His life story is as inspiring as his musical vision.
Why you should listen
Raul Midon is into beating the odds, shattering stereotypes, and making category-defying music. "I was told as a child, 'You're blind; you can't do this,'" Midon told an interviewer in 2005. "I was told when I moved to New York, 'You can't do that, you're not going to make it.'" At 40, however, Midon has clearly made it.
After singing backup vocals for stars like Shakira, Julio Iglesias, Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera, Midon released his major-label solo debut, State of Mind, with help from guest artist Jason Mraz. Midon's innovative songwriting incorporates his lyrics, guitar handiwork (jazz, classical, flamenco, R&B) and "vocal trumpet" improvisation. Though he draws comparisons to Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway and Richie Havens, Midon is the rare original in an industry of few.
His latest album is A World Within a World.
