Andrew Bird's one-man orchestra of the imagination

Prevoditelj: Mislav Ante Omazić - EFZG Recezent: Tilen Pigac - EFZG

Well, there's lots to talk about,

Imamo puno toga za pričati,

but I think I'm just going to play to start off.

ali mislim da ću započeti sa sviranjem.

(Music)

(Glazba)

♫ When I wake up ♫

♫ Kada se probudim ♫

♫ in the morning ♫

♫ ujutro ♫

♫ I pour the coffee ♫

♫ Natočim si kavu ♫

♫ I read the paper ♫

♫ Pročitam novine ♫

♫ And then I slowly ♫

♫ I onda polagano ♫

♫ and so softly ♫

♫ i tako nježno ♫

♫ do the dishes ♫

♫ operem suđe ♫

♫ So feed the fishes ♫

♫ Tako nahranim ribe ♫

♫ You sing me happy birthday ♫

♫ Pjevajte mi sretan rođendan ♫

♫ Like it's gonna be ♫

♫ Kao da će biti ♫

♫ your last day ♫

♫ vaš zadnji dan ♫

♫ here on Earth ♫

♫ ovdje na Zemlji ♫

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

All right.

Dobro.

So, I wanted to do something special today.

Dakle, želio sam učiniti nešto posebno danas.

I want to debut a new song that I've been working on

Htio sam prvi puta izvesti novu pjesmu na kojoj radim

in the last five or six months.

posljednjih pet ili šest mjeseci.

And there's few things more thrilling

I postoji malo stvari koje su uzbudljivije

than playing a song

od sviranja pjesme

for the first time in front of an audience,

po prvi puta ispred publike

especially when it's half-finished.

posebno kada je polu-završena.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I'm kind of hoping some conversations here

Nadam se nekoj konverzaciji ovdje

might help me finish it.

koja bi mi mogla pomoći da završim.

Because it gets into all sorts

Jer ide u sve vrste

of crazy realms.

ludih područja.

And so this is basically a song

I to je u osnovi pjesma

about loops,

o petljama,

but not the kind of loops that I make up here.

ali ne ona vrsta petlji koje ovdje radim.

They're feedback loops.

To su povratne petlje.

And in the audio world

I u audio svijetu

that's when the microphone gets too close

to je onda kada mikrofon dođe preblizu

to its sound source,

vlastitom izvoru zvuka

and then it gets in this self-destructive loop

i onda upadne u tu samo-destruktivnu petlju

that creates a very unpleasant sound.

koja kreira jako neugodan zvuk.

And I'm going to demonstrate for you.

I ja ću za vas demonstrirati.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I'm not going to hurt you. Don't worry.

Neću vas povrijediti. Ne brinite.

♫ This is a loop, feedback loop ♫

♫ To je petlja, povratna petlja ♫

♫ This is a loop, feedback loop ♫

♫ To je petlja, povratna petlja ♫

♫ This is a loop, feedback loop ♫

♫ To je petlja, povratna petlja ♫

♫ This is a loop, feedback loop ♫

♫ To je petlja, povratna petlja ♫

♫ This is a loop, feedback loop ♫

♫ To je petlja, povratna petlja ♫

♫ This is a loop, feedback loop ♫

♫ To je petlja, povratna petlja ♫

♫ This is a -- (Feedback)

♫ To je -- (povratna)

All right. I don't know if that was necessary to demonstrate --

Dobro. Ne znam je li ovo bilo nužno demonstrirati --

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

-- but my point is it's the sound of self-destruction.

-- ali moja namjera je da je to zvuk samo-destrukcije.

And I've been thinking about

I ja sam razmišljao o

how that applies across a whole spectrum of realms,

tome kako se to aplicira na cijeli spektar područja,

from, say, the ecological, okay.

od, recimo, ekologije, dobro.

There seems to be a rule in nature

Čini se kako postoji pravilo u prirodi

that if you get too close to where you came from,

da ako dođete preblizu mjestu iz kojeg ste došli,

it gets ugly.

postaje gadno.

So like, you can't feed cows their own brains

Tako, ne možete hraniti krave njihovim mozgovima,

or you get mad cow disease,

ili ćete dobiti kravlje ludilo,

and inbreeding and incest

i srođivanje i incest,

and, let's see,

i, pogledajmo,

what's the other one?

što je drugi?

Biological -- there's autoimmune diseases,

Biološki -- postoje autoimune bolesti,

where the body attacks itself

gdje tijelo napada samo sebe

a little too overzealously

malo previše nad-revnosno

and destroys the host,

i uništava domaćina,

or the person.

ili osobu.

And then -- okay, this is where we get to the song --

I onda -- dobro, ovdje dolazimo do pjesme --

kind of bridges the gap to the emotional.

na neki način premoštava jaz do emocionalnog.

Because although I've used scientific terms

Jer premda sam koristio znanstvene termine

in songs,

u pjesmama,

it's very difficult sometimes to make them lyrical.

jako je teško ponekad učiniti ih lirskima.

And there's some things

I postoje neke stvari

you just don't need to have in songs.

koje jednostavno ne trebate u pjesmama.

So I'm trying to bridge this gap

Tako nastojim premostiti taj jaz

between this idea and this melody.

između te ideje i te melodije.

And so, I don't know if you've ever had this,

I tako, ne znam jeste li ikada imali ovo,

but when I close my eyes sometimes

ali kada zatvorim oči ponekad

and try to sleep,

i pokušam spavati,

I can't stop thinking about my own eyes.

ne mogu prestati misliti o svojim očima.

And it's like your eyes

I to je poput vaših očiju,

start straining to see themselves.

počinju se naprezati kako bi se vidjele.

That's what it feels like to me.

To je ono kako se osjećam.

It's not pleasant.

Nije ugodno.

I'm sorry if I put that idea in your head.

Žao mi je ako sam vam stavio tu ideju u glavu.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

It's impossible, of course, for your eyes to see themselves,

Nemoguće je, naravno, da vaše oči vide same sebe,

but they seem to be trying.

ali čini se da pokušavaju.

So that's getting a little more closer to a personal experience.

Tako smo došli bliže do osobnog iskustva.

Or ears being able to hear themselves --

Ili ušiju koje mogu čuti same sebe --

it's just impossible.

to je jednostavno nemoguće;

That's the thing.

to je to.

So, I've been working on this song

Tako sam radio na ovoj pjesmi

that mentions these things

koja spominje te stvari

and then also imagines

i također zamišlja

a person who's been so successful

osobu koja je toliko uspješna

at defending themselves from heartbreak

u obrani same sebe od srčanog udara

that they're left to do the deed themselves,

da su je ostavili da djelo učini sama sebi,

if that's possible.

ako je to moguće.

And that's what the song is asking.

I to je ono što pjesma pita.

All right.

Dobro.

It doesn't have a name yet.

Još nema ime.

(Music)

(Glazba)

♫ Go ahead and congratulate yourself ♫

♫ Idi naprijed i čestitaj si ♫

♫ Give yourself a hand, the hand is your hand ♫

♫ Daj si ruku, ruka je tvoja ruka ♫

♫ And the eye that eyes itself is your eye ♫

♫ I oko koje vidi sebe je tvoje oko ♫

♫ And the ear that hears itself is near ♫

♫ I uho koje čuje sebe je blizu ♫

♫ 'Cause it's your ear, oh oh ♫

♫ Jer to je tvoje uho, oh oh ♫

♫ You've done the impossible now ♫

♫ Sada si učinio nemoguće ♫

♫ Took yourself apart ♫

♫ Rastavio si se ♫

♫ You made yourself invulnerable ♫

♫ Učinio si se neranjivim ♫

♫ No one can break your heart ♫

♫ Nitko ti ne može slomiti srce ♫

♫ So you wear it out ♫

♫ Tako ga nosiš prema vani ♫

♫ And you wring it out ♫

♫ I izokrenuo si ga vani ♫

♫ And you wear it out ♫

♫ I nosiš ga prema vani ♫

♫ And you break it yourself ♫

♫ I slomio si ga sam ♫

♫ Breaking your own, break it yourself ♫

♫ Lomeći svoje, lomeći ga sam ♫

♫ Breaking your own, break it yourself ♫

♫ Lomeći svoje, lomeći ga sam ♫

♫ Breaking your own ♫

♫ Lomeći svoje ♫

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

Thanks.

Hvala.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

All right.

Dobro.

It's kind of cool. Songwriters can sort of get away with murder.

To je na neki način super. Kompozitori se mogu na neki način izvući s ubojstvom.

You can throw out crazy theories

Možete izbaciti lude teorije

and not have to back it up with data

i ne morate ih potkrijepiti s podacima

or graphs or research.

ili grafovima ili istraživanjem.

But, you know, I think reckless curiosity

Ali, znate, mislim kako je smiona znatiželja

would be what the world needs now,

ono što svijetu treba sada,

just a little bit.

samo malo.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

I'm going to finish up with a song of mine

Završiti ću sa svojom pjesmom

called "Weather Systems."

pod nazivom "Vremenski sustavi".

(Music)

♫ Quiet ♫

♫ Tiho ♫

♫ Quiet down, she said ♫

♫ Stišaj se, rekla je ♫

♫ Speak into the back of his head ♫

♫ Govorim stražnjem dijelu njegove glave ♫

♫ On the edge of the bed, I can see your blood flow ♫

♫ Na rubu kreveta, mogu vidjeti kako ti krv teče ♫

♫ I can see your ♫

♫ Weather systems ♫

♫ Vremenske sustave ♫

♫ Some things you say ♫

♫ Neke od stvari koje kažeš ♫

♫ are not for sale ♫

♫ nisu na prodaju ♫

♫ I would hold it where ♫

♫ Čuvat ću ih gdje ♫

♫ our free agents of some substance are ♫

♫ su naši slobodni agenti neke supstance ♫

♫ scared ♫

♫ preplašeni ♫
