I've been playing TED for nearly a decade,
0
21260
3000
我為TED表演快十年了,
00:24
and I've very rarely played
1
24260
3000
但最近比較少演出
00:27
any new songs of my own.
2
27260
3000
我自己創作的新曲子。
00:30
And that was largely because there weren't any.
3
30260
3000
主要還是因為最近沒什麼新的作品。
00:33
(Laughter)
4
33260
2000
(笑聲)
00:35
So I've been busy with a couple of projects,
5
35260
2000
我呢,最近在忙著進行一些計畫,
00:37
and one of them was this:
6
37260
2000
其中一個計畫,
00:39
The Nutmeg.
7
39260
2000
叫肉豆蔻號(Nutmeg),
00:41
A 1930s ship's lifeboat,
8
41260
2000
這是一艘1930年代的救生船,
00:43
which I've been restoring in the garden
9
43260
2000
放在我英國海邊小屋的花園裏,
00:45
of my beach house in England.
10
45260
2000
我正著手整修。
00:47
And, so now,
11
47260
2000
現在呢,
00:49
when the polar ice caps melt,
12
49260
3000
假如極地冰帽融化了,
00:52
my recording studio will rise up like an ark,
13
52260
3000
我的錄音工作室就會浮起來,像諾亞方舟一樣,
00:56
and I'll float off into the drowned world
14
56260
2000
而我就在被水淹沒的世界上載浮載沉,
00:58
like a character from a J.G. Ballard novel.
15
58260
3000
像巴拉德(J. G. Ballard)小説中的角色一樣。
01:01
During the day,
16
61260
2000
白天的時候,
01:03
the Nutmeg collects energy
17
63260
2000
肉豆蔻號會收集能源,
01:05
from solar panels on the roof of the wheelhouse,
18
65260
3000
她的舵手室上方有太陽能面板,
01:08
and from a 450 watt turbine
19
68260
2000
桅杆上也有450瓦的
01:10
up the mast.
20
70260
2000
風電渦輪。
01:12
So that when it gets dark,
21
72260
2000
所以,天黑的時候,
01:14
I've got plenty of power.
22
74260
2000
我會有充足的能源。
01:16
And I can light up the Nutmeg like a beacon.
23
76260
3000
我可以讓肉豆蔻號如火炬般發出光亮。
01:19
And so I go in there until the early hours of the morning,
24
79260
3000
然後我會待在肉豆蔻號裏,直到凌晨時分。
01:22
and I work on new songs.
25
82260
3000
我就在裏頭作我的音樂。
01:25
I'd like to play to you guys,
26
85260
2000
我想獻給各位,
01:27
if you're willing to be the first audience to hear it.
27
87260
2000
如果你們願意當我的第一號聽眾。
01:29
(Applause)
28
89260
4000
(掌聲)
01:35
It's about Billie Holiday.
29
95260
2000
這首曲子是關於比莉‧哈樂代。
01:37
And it appears that,
30
97260
2000
據說,
01:39
some night in 1947
31
99260
3000
在1947年的某個夜晚,
01:42
she left her physical space
32
102260
3000
她從這世上,
01:45
and was missing all night,
33
105260
2000
消失了一整晚,
01:47
until she reappeared in the morning.
34
107260
3000
直到隔天早上才又出現。
01:50
But I know where she was.
35
110260
2000
不過我知道她在哪兒。
01:52
She was with me on my lifeboat.
36
112260
3000
她和我在一起,在我的船上,
01:55
And she was hot.
37
115260
2000
而且,她熱情如火。
02:00
