魔鬼诗篇（2005）

You know, because she does, did, and hopefully will love me,
真的是鼓励着我坚持下去
you know, it keeps me going.
我在写歌♥的时候总想着从另一个角度来看
I’m always thinking about another angle about it when I’m writing a song.
我觉得艺术都是因为被美打动而生的
I think art has always been inspired by beauty.
历史上很多艺术家
I think there have been many artists, uh, throughout history
都是有一个主要的灵感来源的
who had a major inspiration,
无论是一个女性，或者单单是哲学
whether it was a girl, or even just a philosophy.
这就是我喜欢生活和艺术的点所在
That’s what I like about life and about art.
当你写了一首歌♥，它恰好就能表现你感受到的东西
Is that when you write a song, it’s just the way that you saw it
或者刚好就是事物的原本状态
or just the way that it was.
我觉得艺术就是一个伟大的心灵
I think art is the greatest frame of mind
在表达一种特定的情绪，而你总能感受到这种情绪
to express a certain feeling and you’ll always have that feeling.
它就在那
It’s always there.
(SINGING) So magical
Laurie一直是他单方面的缪斯
DAVID: Laurie is his muse but in a completely passive way.
是俳句里规定的17个音
Laurie is the 17 syllables of haiku
让他尽情地去挥洒才华
for him to hang his creativity on.
这就是Laurie，是一个创作框架，让他来不断填充
That’s what she is. She’s a structure for him to build on.
她不是Danie的一生所爱，但”她”是
She’s not the love of his life. I mean, but she is.
当我在85年第一次认识他的时候，他正疯狂着迷于Laurie
LOUIS: When I first met Daniel in ’85, he was burning with her.
Daniel的眼里只有她
I mean, she was in his eyes all the time.
当Daniel谈起她的时候总是紧张得不得了
I mean, when he talked about her it was just intense.
而奇怪的在于，这种感觉可能会消失一段时间
And what’s so weird about Daniel is that went away
但总会以更强烈地卷土重来
and it came back more intense later on
因为他意识到这是一个特别特别好的故事
because he realized it was a really good story.
True love will find you in the end-Daniel Johnston
(DANIEL SINGING) True love will find you in the end
You’ll find out just who was your friend
Don’t be sad, I know you will
But don’t give up until
True love will find you in the end
This is a promise with a catch
Only if you’re looking can it find you
‘Cause true love is searching too
But how can it recognize you
Unless you step out into the light?
The light
Don’t be sad, I know you will
But don’t give up until
True love will find you in the end
尽管Daniel无数倍延申了Laurie的故事
KATHY: For as much as Daniel has expanded the myth of Laurie,
但在别人眼里根本不算什么大事
it really wasn’t that big of a deal,
只有在他自己的脑袋里
except in Daniel’s mind.
但Jeff的遭遇很严重
But what happened with Jeff really was a big deal.
是一个能让人心碎的故事
And as far as, like a story that breaks your heart,
这反正是一个把我弄心碎了的故事
that’s the story that breaks my heart about Daniel’s life.
Daniel和我说想为我受到了的那些恶劣遭遇道歉
Daniel told me that he was sorry about the way he had treated me
他也承认了开除我这点十分的不公平
and he admitted that I had been unjustly fired,
他也解释了自己当时精神不正常
and he told me that he was not right mentally at that time.
而且真心希望我从他的传话筒那
And he really said all the things you would hope to hear from somebody
听到了所有事的来龙去脉
who had behaved the way he had behaved.
他挺真诚的
He was very sincere
我相信他自己心里也不好过
and I believe he truly felt bad
关于我俩之间出现的隔阂
about the way things went down between the two of us.
尽管我不是他的经纪人了，但我仍然有之前发行过的唱片
Even though I wasn’t his manager, I still had the back catalog
我不可能就此收手吧，那样也没道理
and I couldn’t just stop. It just made no sense.
我不知道这些音乐会怎么样
I didn’t know what would happen with this music.
可能会消逝在历史长河里，假如不是我一直持续在出版，它们可能真的就消失了
It would have disappeared forever. It wouldn’t exist today if I stopped.
Stress Records像我生养的孩子一样
Stress Records is my baby.
是我23年开启的一项事业，但现在它的存在只是为了一个目的
It’s a company I started about 23 years ago, and today it exists for the sole purpose
向世界上所有人传递Daniel Johnston的音乐
of spreading the word of Daniel Johnston to the masses.
所以我整体亲自翻录他的磁带，打包发货
I do that by dubbing his cassettes and distributing them myself.
在网上宣传它们
I advertise them over the internet.
我每天接受邮购，通过电♥话♥联♥系♥
I take mail orders daily. I work the telephones.
给每个我认识的人邮寄宣传，我做了所有能做的
I send them out to people I know. I do everything I can.
我之所以做这些事是因为人们需要听到这些音乐
I do it because people need to hear this music.
我觉得Daniel Johnston的音乐是一种
The music of Daniel Johnston is something that I think
每个人都应该多少接触一点的东西
everybody needs to at least be exposed to.
真的没有什么能与之比肩的
There’s really nothing to even compare it to.
比迪伦的早期地下室录音和早期的Robert Johnson都要厉害
It goes way beyond Dylan’s basement recordings or early Robert Johnson
以及其他所有我能想起来的作品
or any other body of work that I can think of.
Daniel最近几年真的好多了，像一个奇迹一样
Daniel’s been so much better these last few years, it’s a miracle.
我都不敢相信
It’s even difficult for me to grasp the fact
他去全球巡演了
that he’s playing internationally and touring.
现在我们一起合唱好吗
希望你们都知道怎么唱
太棒了，太棒了！
在他的一生里，不管他去了哪
KATHY: In Daniel’s life, everywhere he’s gone,
都在身后深深留下了创作与毁灭的痕迹
he leaves this incredible wake behind of creation and destruction.
基本上什么事都做过，坏事好事
He’s done all kinds of things, both bad and good,
但都很传奇
but they’re all mythic.
人们很难相信，但这些全都是真的
And they’re all barely believable, yet they’re all true.
他在整个职业生涯中做的事
And the kinds of things that he’s done in his career,
是那种别人只会在
are the kinds of things someone would only do
无敌自我毁灭或者极度困惑时做的
if they were so self-sabotaging that it was completely mystifying.
但就创造传奇而言
But in terms of creating a legend,
他没做错任何一件事
he’s done absolutely everything right.
Casper the Friendly Ghost-Daniel Johnston
(SINGING) He was smiling through his own personal hell
Dropped his last dime down a wishing well
But he was hoping too close
And then he fell
Now he’s Casper the Friendly Ghost
He was always polite to the people who’d tell him
That he was nothing but a lazy bum
But goodbye to them he had to go
Now he’s Casper
Matt Greening(辛普森一家主创)今晚来了吗，他是在观众里还是怎么
ls Matt Greening here tonight, in the audience somewhere?
有个人跟我说”你一定得听这人的歌♥”
And somebody said, “You gotta listen to this guy.”
我就问他，听哪张呢
And I said, “Which tape should I get?”
结果他告诉我，全都要听
And I was told, “All of them.
确实如此啊，每一张都很棒
“And it’s right. They are all fantastic.”
现在的卡♥通♥比以往任何时候都要多
There’s more comics now than there have ever been before
– 辛普森一家特好看 – 谢谢你
-and The Simpsons comic looks great. – Thank you.
我喜欢那些，超级英雄啊，人们变成超级英雄的故事
I love that. And the superhero, the guy turns into a superhero.
应该有部Daniel Johnston卡♥通♥片的
There should be a Daniel Johnston comic book.
– 是啊，应该有的 -我好想做卡♥通♥的
– MAN: Yeah, there should. – I want to do comics.
这就是我拍摄的目的
That’s what I’m shooting for.

Fantastic. Keep up the fantastic work.

Casper the Friendly Ghost-Daniel Johnston
(SINGING) And so the legend grew
And all the people that he knew
Go and spread the news of Casper
The Friendly Ghost
谢谢
– Thank you. -(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
-晚安，谢谢大家，谢谢你们 – 再来一首，再来一首
– Good night. Thanks a lot. Thank you. – MAN: More! More!
再来一首
More!
再来一首，再来一首
More! More!
我不觉得Daniel在没有大家的帮助下能走到这一步
BILL: I don’t think Dan would have gotten as far as he did without our help.
用他自己的话来说就是 “我不知道会发生什么
And he, uh, his own words was, “I don’t know what will happen to me,
如果你们都离我而去
“if you don’t help me.”
所以这么些年，我们都坚持了下来
So we have, for years.
我知道他是爱我们的，我看的出来
MABEL: He does love us, I can see that.
我老期盼那些不可能的事情，我想让他成为一个完整的人
I guess I want the impossible, I want Dan to be whole.
能自己照顾自己
And be able to take care of himself.
我们担心，现在留给我们的时间不多了
BILL: And we’re worried now, we ‘re running out of time.
Oh my lord
Held the Hand-Daniel Johnston
I am so bored
Held the hand of Satan
Oh, Laura
What has happened to you?
Held the hand of the Devil
I was on MTV
Everybody was looking at me
Held the hand of the Devil

Are bright
Bright

The red is strong
The blue is pure
Some things
Last a long time
Some things
