Question:
What is art?

I say
"Art has no meaning just expression of the emotion and illness of humankind, I am not artisit but I am human with emotion and sickness like you and all the other humanbeing."

Question:
What is real art?

Answer from friends
Art is not 个人感觉的发泄,real art should touch other's heart.

This is a good point.

Bressanone 

Bressanone
here i stand in bressanone
  with the stars up in the sky
  are they shining over brenner
  and upon the other side
  you would be a sweet surrender
  i must go the other way
  and my train will carry me onward
  though my heart would surely stay
  wo my heart would surely stay
  now the clouds are flying by me
  and the moon is the rise
  i have left stars behind me
  they were disamondsin your skies
  you would be a sweet surrender
  i must go the other way
  and my train will carry me onward
  though my heart would surely stay
  wo my heart would surely stay
  matthew lien bressanone

关于马修连恩凯的bressanone 有人一直坚持说bressanone这首歌是写给狼或者背井离乡的,终于在网上看到作曲者自己写的关于这首歌的创作心得,大致翻译一下,看过后还坚持己见的,偶也没话说了。

福利斯,你好
谢谢你的评论,现在给你自己冲杯热茶,坐好,我接下来给你说个关于bressanone的故事......
几年前,我疯狂地爱上了一个年轻的女孩,还有,也爱上了南部蒂罗尔山区,它在意大利的北部,与奥地利接壤,就在勃伦尔山脉的南边(勃伦尔山脉正好把意大利和奥地利分隔开来)。
南部蒂罗尔曾经跟北部蒂罗尔(现在属于奥地利)和西部蒂罗尔(现在属于瑞士)是一个整体。这个地区的人说的是德国的一种方言,但是由于蒂罗尔被分割开来,而南部蒂罗尔变成意大利的一部分,所以这里的地名一般都有意大利文和德文两种名字。
总之呢...许多年前我给绿色和平组织工作,在那时候我遇上了一个让我心动的女孩子。我们是在加州的约塞米蒂国家公园归途中相遇的。自那以后,她回到科罗拉多州的绿色和平组织,最后回到纽约州去上学,而我则回到圣迭戈的绿色和平组织,并且最后回到我在加拿大育空地区的老家。
此后的几个月里我们不停地通讯。很快我们都希望能有更进一步的发展。她将要去意大利的佛罗伦萨学习艺术,我就要去德国的慕尼黑开始新的表演生活,跟一支叫“三月粉”的摇滚乐队...哈啊,没错,三月粉...那是另外一个故事了。
当我俩都在欧洲的时候,我们选了一个处在佛罗伦萨和慕尼黑之间的地方约会。这就是南部蒂罗尔的一个小镇,德文里面它叫“Brixen”,意大利文就是“bressanone”。Bressanone是个非常优美的小镇。它被小乡村包围着,而山谷中回响着教堂的钟声,山羊在牧场漫步,远处是高耸的白色山头。
我们在那里玩乐了几天,探索过周围的小乡村,还有彼此的心。离别的日子到了,她要回去的时候我陪着她去附近乡村的火车站,真是很令人沮丧啊,我们都要踏上各自的道路。流着泪水,我上了去火车站的公共汽车,在短短的40分钟路程里,我缓缓入睡了,在梦中,我隐隐约约地似乎听到了这样的一首歌,非常美妙的旋律和歌词。我醒来的时候,赶紧下了火车,来到最近的咖啡店,把所听到的旋律和歌词写在一张餐巾纸上,好让我能够永远地记住它。
一年以后,我才有机会把这首歌录下来。在我的心里,永远会留个地方是给她,还有那些小乡村,和这首歌。
谢谢你这么认真地听我说。现在...是时候跟你同睡了,晚安!!!

The Story

Hello Forrest,

Thank you for your comments. Now make yourself a cup of hot tea, sit back, and I'll tell you a story about Bressanone...

Several years ago, I fell deeply in love with a young woman, and also with a part of northern Italy known as South Tyrol. It borders Austria, just south of the Brenner mountain pass which separates Italy from Austria.

South Tyrol used to be joined with North Tyrol (now a part of Austria) and West Tyrol (now a part of Switzerland). The people of this area speak a dialect of German. But since Tyrol was divided and South Tyrol became a part of Italy, all the place names are in both German and Italian.

Anyway... I once worked for Greenpeace many years ago, where I met a young woman who melted my heart. We met while on a retreat in California's Yosemite National Park. After the retreat, she returned to the Colorado Greenpeace office, and eventually went back to school in New York state. I returned to the San Diego Greenpeace Office, and eventually went back to my home in the Yukon, Canada.

Over the months we stayed in touch. Soon we discovered that we would both be close again. She was going to study art in Florence, Italy, and I was going to live in Munich, Germany performing with a rock band called "Marching Powder"... ahhhh yes, Marching Powder... but that's another story.

When we were both in Europe, we made arrangements to meet in a place that was close to being between Florence and Munich. This was the South Tyrolian town called "Brixen" in German, or "Bressanone" in Italian. Bressanone is a beautiful town surrounded by small villages high in the mountain valleys with churches ringing and sheep in the meadows, and the awesome peaks of the Dolomite mountains towering beyond.

We spent several days exploring the mountain villages and each other's hearts. And when the day came for her to return, I took her to a train station in a nearby village, and we said goodbye. It was very sad to be going our own ways again. With tears in my eyes, I got on a bus and headed for the train station in Bressanone. During the short 40 minute bus ride, I fell asleep. And while I slept, I had a dream in which I could hear this song, complete with the words and music. When I awoke, I got off the train and went to the nearest coffee shop to write the words and music on a napkin, so I would not forget.

It was years later when I finally recorded the song. I will always have a place in my heart for her... and for that village... and for this song.

Thank you for listening. Now... off to bed with you!!!

About Composor

Matthew Lien是全球著名的NewAge音乐制作人,出生于美国南加州的圣地亚哥,因从小酷爱育空地区美丽的大自然风光,1972年迁居于育空海那斯站。浸染于自然山水让Matthew灵性毕现,随着年龄的增长,Matthew的音乐旅程中越来越多地沾染上山林水溪之气,直到有一天,他成为彻底的环保音乐家。 1990年,25岁的Matthew发表了自己的处女作《Music To See By》,一鸣惊人。到了1995年,出版了这张《Bleeding Wolves》(狼),这张以保护野生动物为主题的新世纪音乐作品是他最为出名的代表唱片之一,也是音乐史上具有重要意义的一张专辑。

1992年,加拿大育空地方政府因为该地区的驯鹿数量遭人类的过度猎捕而日益稀少,决定实施一项“驯鹿增量计划”,以防止鹿群绝种的危机。但这一计划却是以变相扑杀狼群的方式,让原本因人类过度猎捕而数量锐减的驯鹿迅速繁殖。这种本末倒置的行径引起了一群热爱大自然的居民们群起反对,当“猎狼计划”开始时,Matthew和生态摄影家肯·麦德森(Ken Madsen)一起为制止这项措施,并保护当地鹿群生长栖息的环境,决定组织了一个“驯鹿公有地计划”来向民众宣扬理念或向政府游说,来拯救无辜的狼群。1994年,Matthew发表了单曲“Bleeding Wolves”,试图唤起人们对保护狼群的重视。1995年,Matthew Lien与其他29位音乐家,历经了两年的时光,完成了整张以保护生态为概念的同名专辑,以最直接的感情、最沉痛的呼吁,将荒野上狼挚诚沉痛的悲情融入到音乐里,敲击着人们的心。
  这是一张以北美育空河流域狼群为主题的音乐史诗,专辑糅合了凯尔特民谣、古典乐、轻爵士、摇滚等各种元素,透过音乐,你可以游走于人与狼之间,你将发现你和狼的距离是那么的近,甚至能感受得到彼此的呼吸。音乐记录了原野上活生生的狼群,凄美悲壮的苏格兰乐风,娓娓诉说狼群的生命之歌....专辑中运用了长笛、德西马琴、铙钹、大提琴与法国号等乐器,更使音乐有着活灵活现的神韵。强烈的节奏,是狼奔跑时的急促呼吸,悲伤的萨克斯风,是狼在血泊中舔噬伤口,低沉的法国号,随着狼的心澎湃跳动,溪流、雨声、风声,衬出自然界中的空旷、自由以及起起落落的生命;狼群,在风中奔放出热烈、无所羁绊的生命。伴着原野上起起落落的生命,若隐若现的溪流声,开启了以钢琴为主奏的序幕;绚丽的苏格兰乐风,纪录着飞鼠溪与雪特兰岛的悲情;〈布列瑟农〉抒情地吟唱着离别的无奈与不舍;悲伤的萨克斯、低沉的法国号,引领我们进入现实的荒野之地。这张深刻表达出Matthew等音乐家对“大自然”与“生命”保护和关怀的唱片,获得了1994年Aurora(北极光)的最佳原声带奖。
专辑介绍:
凄美悲壮的苏格兰乐风,上演着一出狼的音乐祭,三十位音乐工作者为北美育空河流域面临屠杀的狼群, 以音乐与人性写下这部动人的史诗。溪流、风声、急雨、相伴着原野上起起落落的生命强烈的节奏, 是狼奔跑时急促的呼吸,悲伤的萨克斯风,是狼在血泊中舔噬伤口,低沉的法国号。随着狼的心澎湃跳动,音乐记录了原野上活生生的狼群

Te Quiero Dijiste 
Te Quiero Dijiste I Love You, You Said
Spanish English
Te quiero dijiste
Tomando mis manos
Entre tus manitas
De blanco marfil
Y sentí en mi pecho
Un fuerte latido
Después un suspiro
Y luego el chasquido
De un beso febril
"I love you," you said
Taking my hands
Into your little hands
Of white ivory
And I felt in my chest
A heavy pang
Then a sigh
And next the spark
Of a feverish kiss
Muñequita linda
De cabellos de oro
Dos dientes de perla
Labios de rubí
Dime si me quieres
Como yo te adoro
Si de mí te acuerdas
Como yo de ti
Pretty little doll
Of golden hair
Two teeth of pearls
Ruby lips
Tell me if you love me
As I love you
If you remember me
As I do you
A veces escucho
Un eco divino
Que envuelto en la brisa
Parece decir
Sí te quiero mucho
Mucho mucho mucho
Tanto como entonces
Siempre hasta morir

A veces escucho
Un eco divino
Que envuelto en la brisa
Parece decir
Sí te quiero mucho
Mucho mucho mucho
Tanto como entonces
Siempre hasta morir

A veces escucho
Un eco divino
Que envuelto en la brisa
Parece decir
Sí te quiero mucho
Mucho mucho mucho
Tanto como entonces
Siempre hasta morir
Siempre hasta morir
Siempre hasta morir
Sometimes I hear
A divine echo
Enveloped in the wind
It seems to say
Yes, I really love you
So very much
As much as then
Until I die

Sometimes I hear
A divine echo
Enveloped in the wind
It seems to say
Yes, I really love you
So very much
As much as then
Until I die

Sometimes I hear
A divine echo
Enveloped in the wind
It seems to say
Yes, I really love you
So very much
As much as then
Until I die
Until I die
Until I die

Let me go home 
"Home"



Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home
