about

Road Travels On was the first song I wrote that I liked. It reminds me of the Chicago song “25 Or 6 To 4,” which, like Road Travels On, is about late night difficulties in songwriting: Difficulties I experienced for many years. It also reflects my belief that the feeling I sought in my music would happen if I kept trying, i.e., traveling on that road. At the time, I was listening to Townes Van Zandt alot, and that really impacted the imagery in Road Travels On. Townes would ride his horse, Amigo, through the mountains from Aspen to Crested Butte, Colorado each year. There are lines in this song that draw directly from the imagery of those rides.

“Road Travels On”是我写的第一首歌，我很喜欢。它让我想起芝加哥歌曲“25 Or 6 to 4”，它和Road travels on同样是关于晚间创作的困难。这也是这些年我所经历的。这首歌也反映了我的一个信念：只要坚持下去，我在音乐中找寻的灵感自然会出现。这就好像人在旅途，峰回路转。那时我每天听Townes Van Zandt的歌，对我写Road Travels On 有很大影响。有段时间，Townes每年骑着他的马Amigo穿越科罗拉多的山脉，从阿斯彭到克雷斯特德比特。你可以从我这首歌的歌词中发现，有些是我想象他骑马旅行的景象。

lyrics

Try to wrap my mind around
整理思绪
Words I wanna say
想出我要表达的词语
Waiting, disappearing
等待，消失
Maybe try another day
或许等几天灵感就出现
Wanna sleep
我想睡
but my inside said stay
但我的身体告诉我不要
and the darkness
还有这黑暗
she's the one
我没有对她的
I can't resist
抵抗力

You can echo through
你能反映出
my soul
我的心灵
ring my heavy head
我的思绪混乱
But I'll sing on the wind
但我会和风一起歌唱
'til the end
直到最后

Let me ride
让我乘风而行
one note at a time
一步一步
through them hills
穿过山谷
leavin my heartache behind
留下伤心在身后
free as a breeze in them wide western skies
在宽阔的西部天空中自由得像一股清风
Let me ride
让我乘风而行
Let me ride
让我乘风而行

Try to wrap my heart around
整理心情
Things I wanna show
表达我的感受
Little darlin' she's hopin' the sun will shine
我的女孩希望看到阳光照耀
But it's too far gone now
但一切为时太晚
Road travels on
生活还得继续
and the darkness
还有这黑暗
she's the one I can't resist
我没有对她的抵抗力

You can have my memory
你可以拥有我的记忆
My words, my feelings, may never
我却找不到词语表达我的感受
But, I’ll sing on the wind to the end
但我会和风一起歌唱到最后

Let me ride
让我乘风而行
one note at a time
一步一步
through them hills
穿过山谷
leavin my heartache behind
留下伤心在身后
free as a breeze in them wide western skies
在宽阔的西部天空中自由得像一股清风
Let me ride
让我乘风而行
Let me ride
让我乘风而行
