一個能稱為屬於我的地方。
02:50
I've been walking all night long,
15

我已經走了一整夜了，
02:52
but I don't know where to call my home."
16

02:57
"The only way to find that place

165040
2416
「找到那個地方的唯一方式，
02:59
is close to where my heart is.

你們有感受到那種律動嗎？
05:33
So do you feel that motion?
53
321840
1336
你們有感受到自己置身于
一種暗暗湧動的律動嗎？
一種暗暗湧動的律動嗎？
05:35
Do you feel yourself
as part of that motion,
as part of that motion,
54
323200
2096
05:37
things moving underneath the surface?
55
325320
1799
音樂和聲的語言是
極度非凡的一種語言。
極度非凡的一種語言。
05:39
So the language of musical harmony
is an absolutely extraordinary one.
is an absolutely extraordinary one.
56
327120
3293
它能一種引導人們構架情緒，
05:42
It's a way of navigating
one's emotional frameworks,
one's emotional frameworks,
57
330414
2444
卻不需要先用言詞表達出來，
05:44
but without the need
to put things into words,
to put things into words,
58
332859
2166
05:47
and I think that,
as with many other languages,
as with many other languages,
59
335026
2212
我認為，就像許多其他的語言一樣，
05:49
it doesn't matter how much
you know about a language.
you know about a language.
60
337263
2456
你對一種語言了解多少並不重要，
05:51
It doesn't matter
how many words you can say,
how many words you can say,
61
339720
2136
你能說多少字、認識多少詞
05:53
how many phrases you know.
62
341880
1296
都不重要。
05:55
What matters is the emotional choices
you make with this language.
you make with this language.
63
343200
3119
重要的是你用這種語言
所做的情緒選擇。
所做的情緒選擇。
05:58
So I encourage us to embrace
this idea as a community,
this idea as a community,
64
346320
2524
我鼓勵我們以一個社群的身份
一起擁抱這個想法，
一起擁抱這個想法，
06:00
which is the thing which in time
may grow us towards
may grow us towards
65
348868
2548
它最後會能夠讓我們成長，
朝向我們的人性邁進。
06:03
as opposed to away from our own humanity.
66
351440
1953
06:05
Thank you so much.
67
353417
1239
非常感謝。

（唱歌）帶我去
任何你想要去的地方。
06:32
anywhere you want to go.
71
380120
6400
06:41
You know that my love is strong.
72
389440
4280
你知道我的愛很強大。
06:47
In my hideaway.
73
395960
3320
在我隱匿之處。
06:55
Softly,
74
403560
5080
輕柔地，
07:02
like the calm that follows storms,
75
410000
6480
就像暴風雨之後的寂靜。
07:09
Find what I've been
searching for all along.
searching for all along.
76
417840
5456
找到我一直在尋找的東西。
07:15
In my hideaway.
77
423320
3560
在我隱匿之處。
07:23
Even when I close my eyes,
78
431120
10536
即使當我閉上眼睛，
07:33
darling, if you've gone astray,
I'm on my way to my hideaway.
I'm on my way to my hideaway.
79
441680
6200
親愛的，如果你迷路了，
我正在前往我隱匿處的路上。
我正在前往我隱匿處的路上。
07:49
Touch me
80
457120
4760
觸碰我，
07:55
like I've never loved before,
81
463840
5600
彷彿我從來沒有愛過一般，
08:02
in the place that I adore,
82
470800
4400
在我鍾愛的地方，
08:08
in my hideaway.
83
476400
4480
在我隱匿之處。
08:16
I know
84
484040
5360
我知道，
08:22
whichever way the wind may blow,
85
490120
6160
不論風吹向哪個方向，
08:29
there will be a place for me to go
86
497560
4080
總有一個我的去處，
08:35
in my hideaway.
87
503440
4800
在我隱匿之處。
08:41
My hideaway.
88
509400
1960
我隱匿之處。
09:42
Sticks and stones
89
570400
4496
樹枝和石頭，
09:46
I won't hide from you no more.
90
574920
2640
我不會再躲避你了。
09:53
And in time
91
581080
4296
總有一天，
09:57
I find what I've been searching for.
92
585400
2560
我會找到我一直在尋找的。
10:03
Heard your voice
93
591480
4856
聽見了你，
10:08
calling out to me.
94
596360
1880
呼喚著我的聲音。
10:13
I'm on my way
95
601680
5056
我已經上路，
10:18
to where I can be free.
96
606760
1720
前往自由之地。
10:24
And if she won't wait for me,
do it right, don't look back,
do it right, don't look back,
97
612800
3176
如果她不等我，別犯傻，別回頭，
10:28
keep my heart on the future.
98
616000
1880
把我的心留在未來。
10:32
On the soles of my shoes
all the places I've been

凱莉史托伊佐：雅各，哇。
12:38
OK, we have some questions.
JC: OK.
JC: OK.
114
746280
2616
好，我們有些問題要請教你。
雅各：好的。

12:40
KS: That was spectacular.
115
748920
1896

12:42
JC: Thank you, Kelly. Thank you.
116
750840
1736
雅各：謝謝你，凱莉。謝謝你。
12:44
KS: Those
visualizations we just saw,
visualizations we just saw,
117
752600
2096
凱莉：我們剛看到的
那些視覺化效果，
那些視覺化效果，
是實時產生的，對嗎？
12:46
those were happening in real time, yeah?
118
754720
1936
雅各：是的，所有視覺化的部分
12:48
JC: Yeah, so everything visual
119
756680
2416
12:51
takes cues from things which are audial,
or something, if that's a word,
or something, if that's a word,
120
759120
3381
都是由「聽覺性」變來的，
如果有這個詞的話。
如果有這個詞的話。
12:54
and so everything is real time.
121
762525
1491
所以一切都是即時的。
12:56
I cue the loops, I play the instruments
122
764040
1936
我切入迴圈，我演奏樂器，
接著就有，比如，樹木出現，
可以看到它長大，
可以看到它長大，
12:58
and then the tree, for example,
that you saw grow,
that you saw grow,
123
766000
2376
13:00
grows in such a way
that it takes low long notes
that it takes low long notes
124
768400
2496
長大的方式是，用很低很長的音符
13:02
and grows thick long branches,
125
770920
2416
就會長出濃密的長枝，
13:05
and it takes high, quiet notes, whatever,
and then it grows thin, small branches.
and then it grows thin, small branches.
126
773360
4216
用很高很安靜的音符，
就會長出小細枝。
就會長出小細枝。
13:09
And then my singing voice
127
777600
1999
接著是我唱歌的聲音，
13:11
sort of blows wind against the tree.
128
779600
2136
有點像是對著樹木刮起風來。
13:13
KS: So you're 22 years old.
JC: Yes, indeed.
JC: Yes, indeed.
129
781760

凱莉：你自己一個人
演奏所有那些東西。
演奏所有那些東西。
13:19
How did you get started
and how did this all evolve?

131
787760
3216
你是怎麼開始的？
這一切都是怎麼來的？
這一切都是怎麼來的？
13:23
JC: I have this magical room in my house
132
791000
2176
雅各：我的房子裡
有間很魔幻的房間，
有間很魔幻的房間，
13:25
in North London,
which is, like, over there.

13:30
And this room --
I mean, this is my family home.
I mean, this is my family home.
136
798400
2616
這間房間－我的意思是，
這是我們一家人的房子。
這是我們一家人的房子。
13:33
I grew up in this room
filled with musical instruments,
filled with musical instruments,
137
801040
3416
我在這間滿是樂器的房間中長大，
13:36
but most importantly, I had a family
138
804480
1896
但最重要的是，
我的家人鼓勵我投資
我自己的想像力，
我自己的想像力，
13:38
who encouraged me
to invest in my own imagination,
to invest in my own imagination,
139
806400
2376
13:40
and so things I created, things I built
were good things to be building
were good things to be building
140
808800
3936
我所創造、建立的東西，
都是值得去做的好東西，
都是值得去做的好東西，
13:44
just because I was making them,
and I think that's such an important idea.
and I think that's such an important idea.
141
812760
3496
就因為是我親手在做。
我認為這一點很重要。
我認為這一點很重要。
13:48
But this room was
my paradise, essentially,
my paradise, essentially,
142
816280
2056
這間房間簡直就是我的天堂，
13:50
and when I came to tour my album,
which is called "In My Room,"
which is called "In My Room,"
143
818360

161
865280
1856
或是大人物之類的手中。
14:39
