about

With Bartender’s Guitar, I want to convey my feeling of being far, far from home and my realization that I have changed so much over the years that I can never really return. I understand that others, who I still feel a strong kinship with, have, by-and-large, stayed in the same place and not changed. When going about your daily busy life, you may lose sight of such a far off place and time. But, if that drink does the trick (i.e. plays the way you want), you may remember it better.

《Bartender’s Guitar》是我表达的自己远离家乡的感觉，以及多年来的变化。这些变化让我离当初的自己已经那么远了，而我的家人却大多留在了同一地方，没有任何改变。忙碌的日常生活或许会让你看不到如此遥远的地方，但是，希望这首歌能把你短暂地带回去，回想起一些亲近又遥远的记忆。

lyrics

Got a warm, dark heart
有一颗热心又消极的心
Got a bartender’s guitar
有一把调酒师的吉他
That drink don’t play
酒的力量不够
the way I want
无法让我达到想要的境界
I could forget who you are
我只能选择忘记

It’s a long way home
回家路千里
When you’re going downhill
当人生走下坡路时
It’s a long way home
回家路千里
When it slowly disappears
当家已经慢慢消失时

Well the road runs on
回家的路
Nowhere, on and on
一片渺茫
I know your mind, hasn’t changed
我知道你骨子里没有变
And I know it never will
我知道你永远不会变

It’s a long road home
回家路千里
Feel you’re going uphill
感觉困难重重
It’s a long road home
回家路千里
Worn through the years
家随着岁月而变淡

Windin’ through the
蜿蜒爬行在
Blindin’ snow,
大雪中
through the secrets
驱逐不去的秘密
that haunt my soul
紧紧缠绕于灵魂
A river‘s a river
只要有水
when the water flows
就是河流
I drift along
我顺水漂流
Nobody ever gonna find me
没人能找到我

Got a warm, dark heart
有一颗热心又消极的心
Got a bartender’s guitar
有一把调酒师的吉他
That drink don’t play
酒的力量不够
the way I want
无法让我达到想要的境界
I could forget who you are
我只能选择忘记
