"Not to sound too depressing, the world is wiped clean of our biological presence."

Moby在CD中的原话: Why hotel? a variety of reasons, but here's one of them... hotels fascinate me in that they're incredibly intimate spaces that are scoured every 24 hours and made to look completely anonymous. people sleep in hotel rooms and cry in hotel rooms and bathe in hotel rooms and have sex in hotel rooms and start relationships in hotel rooms and end relationships in hotel rooms and etc and etc, but yet every time we check into a hotel room we feel as if we're the first guest and we get very upset if there's any remnant of a previous guests stay. something about this idea, that these intimate spaces are wiped clean every 24 hours, fascinates me.that we enter a hotel room and it becomes our biological home for a while and then we leave. in some ways it's similar to the human condition. we exist and we strive and we love and we cry and we laugh and we run around and we sleep and we build things and we have sex and then we die and, not to sound too depressing, the world is wiped clean of our biological presence. which, from my perspective, makes our brief biological time here all the more precious due to it's relative brevity. hotels, in specific, fascinate me in that so much effort is expended to maintain a perfect neutrality. and my hope in this record is not to celebrate or represent the vacuum-like neutrality of an empty hotel room, but rather to represent the part of the human condition that compels us to lead big and expansive and messy biological lives.i'm fascinated by the airless and lifeless neutrality of so many man-made spaces (empty airports, empty lobbies, empty office buildings, etc), but i don't feel like making music that is airless and lifeless because i also really like people and the messy miasma of the human condition and i want to make messy, human records that are open and emotional. because, whether i like it or not, i'm messy and human, too(even though like all good sci-fi geeks i do occasionally wish that i was a robot). have i said too much? should i err on the side of cryptic and esoteric explanations? well, this explanation is neither cryptic nor esoteric, so there you go. and that's why the record is called 'hotel'. thanks, and i hope that you like what you hear. moby

Winter Killing On cold days it is Easy to behave and Easy to believe in it On cold days it is Easy to see clear and Easy to believe in it You say winter's killing you That you can't stand the season It has no smell or flavor I left the city for you There was no other reason I did ...(1回应)
Winter Killing On cold days it is Easy to behave and Easy to believe in it On cold days it is Easy to see clear and Easy to believe in it You say winter's killing you That you can't stand the season It has no smell or flavor I left the city for you There was no other reason I did your wife a favour You're safer with me here You're safer with me here You're safer with me here And you there [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/stina_nordenstam/winter_killing.html ] I took the fast track Considered crying I was stopped in customs Quite proud of the knack I have of knowing When it's over You're safer with me here You're safer with me here You're safer with me here And you there With a bit of ice under my clothes My tongue against the teeth I think of nothing Walk around the house on the cold 'Til it hurts to breath I think of nothing I knew I had to leave 'Cause spring was coming You'd made a lover out of me And spring was coming I'm safer with me here I'm safer with me here I'm safer with me here And you there 一直反复地听。重复重复再重复。Stina在我的itunes里早已不是什么新的名字 但就是让人上瘾 每首歌重新听起来都好像能有听到新的东西 虽然她属于咬字不清的那一类的……也正好在认真看歌词的时候总能有惊喜 这首歌讲得大概是个悲伤的结尾吧…… 和恋人道别的时候总是那么言不由衷。 there's nothing to say about spring or winter... except you are not here.
