作为花王的键盘手，Tomas Bodin自己也发布了不少solo，不过大部分是基于键盘工作，有些单调和像是氛围音乐，唯有这张I A M颇具有花王和复杂的前卫交响特色（他后面一张you are也复杂，不过更多的像是流行音乐），三首史诗都很棒，第二首尤其推荐！
dear sir or madam
亲爱的先生或夫人
being me is so easy and at the same time so difficult. today's world is driven by an extremely 'human hostile tempo'. we have no time for ourselves and any type of contact with our souls has more or less been completely abandoned. it would seem that priority is given to material wealth and what i would call high tempo living. thinking materially is nothing new but the 'tempo trip' on the other hand...
做我很容易，但同时又很难。今天的世界是由极其“人类敌对的节奏”驱动的。我们没有时间给自己，任何形式的与我们灵魂的接触或多或少都被完全抛弃了。似乎优先考虑的是物质财富和我所说的高节奏生活。物质上的思考不是什么新鲜事，相反，“节奏之旅”.
i've also noticed that, as people in the 21st century are more and more 'intoxicated' by tempo, being perceived as a fast-moving high performer has assumed more importance. every day, we read about the honey trap that so efficiently burns people out one by one. it would seem that we define our own excellence by how much we stand out in this high tempo blur. unfortunately, the consequence of this is the creation of an elitist trend where the strong stand tall and the wake fall by the wayside. speaking of which...
我还注意到，随着21世纪的人们对节奏越来越“陶醉”，被认为是一个快速发展的高节奏能手变得越来越重要。每一天，我们都会读到甜蜜的陷阱，它高效低能一个一个地把人烧掉。我们似乎通过自己在这个高节奏的模糊中的突出程度来定义我们自己的卓越之处。不幸的是，这样做的结果是创造了一种精英主义的趋势，强者站得高高的，而弱者却倒在路边。说到这..。
i must also put on record my bemusement over the modern 'docu-soap' phenomenon what drives people to sacrificially throw themselves onto the altar of ultimate humiliation completely of their own will? i often compare these programs with the freakshows of the 19th century. the only difference is that in the 21st centure version the deformities are found on the inside - as to who is most deformed, the producers responsible or those who take part, is best left unsaid.
我还必须把我对现代“肥皂剧”现象的困惑记录下来，这是什么驱使人们完全出于自己的意愿，牺牲自己，把自己投入到终极羞辱的祭坛上呢？我经常把这些节目和19世纪的怪诞节目作比较。唯一的区别是，在21世纪的版本中，畸形是在内部发现的--关于谁是最畸形的，生产者还是参与者，最好不要说出来。
what you'll find on this CD, however, does not concern such things...
但是，你在这张CD上会发现，与这些事情无关.
'i a m' is dedicated to everybody who dares to take the inner journey. 'i a m' is dedicated to those who dare to break established, self-destructive behaviour patterns. 'i a m' is dedicated to everybody who believes in the impossible.
“I a m”是献给每一个敢于踏上内心旅程的人。“i a m”是献给那些敢于打破既定的、自我毁灭的行为模式的人。“i a m”是献给每一个相信不可能的人。
and remember "fake it until you make it"
记住“假装它直到你成功”

The Beginning
开始
See the future,
From home of spirits,
The sparkle touch comes from eternity.
Home of starchilds,
Little creatures,
We will fly around you endlessly.
看看未来，精神的家园
来自永恒的光辉接触
星孩的家园，小生物
我们将无止境地围绕着你
Home of spirits,
See the future,
Weightless minds, slowly floating by.
It's a new dawn, of mankind,
Mr. Life-and-Death says, "Let the wheel spin!"
精神的家园，看看未来
失重的心灵，慢慢地飘过
这是人类的新黎明，
生和死的先生说，让车轮转动！

Born into this world,
A hopeful caring mother,
I thought that love would fill up my heart.
She dreamt about the future,
Thought I was the winner,
"Gifted by the gods," she said,
Right from the start.
出生在这个世界上，
一位充满希望的有爱心的母亲，
我以为爱会填满我的心。
她梦想着未来，
认为我（孩子）会是赢家
“这是上帝赐予我的礼物，”她说，
从一开始
I was doing all right,
And I did pay my bills,
Working 9 till 5,
Should be over the hill,
Now my life went on and on,
Making day by day,
Mostly right, a little wrong,
There is nothing to say,
Mom will remember my name.
我做得很好，
我付了账单，
从九点工作到五点
我应该在山那边，
现在我的生活还在继续，
日复一日，
大多数做对，有些做错
没什么好说的
妈妈会记住我的名字。

The sun, fed up, turned grey,
And I just lost the reason,
Life was led away, and I went down.
I crossed a bridge too far,
I felt innocence on wings
Flew from my heart,
And left me just a clown.
太阳，受够了，变成了灰色，
我失去了理智
生活被带走了，我跌倒了。
我过了一座桥，
我感到纯真的羽翼从我的心底飞走了
剩下一个小丑。
I was falling apart,
And I didn't take my pills,
Pushing nine to five
Should be over the hill,
My life went on and on,
Sinking day by day by day,
Sometimes right but mostly wrong...
我要崩溃了，
我也没吃药，
朝九晚五
我应该在山那边，
我的生活还在继续，
一天一天的下沉，
有时是对的但大多是错的..。
There is nothing to say,
When you don't find the way,
Mom will remember your name.
没什么好说的
当你找不到路的时候，
妈妈会记住你的名字。
Mother's Heart
母亲的心
(See the future,
Love surrounds you,
Gift of life comes from mother's heart,
You're my star child little honey,
You're my winner little baby
Reach my goal, and fly around my endlessly.)
看看未来
爱围绕着你，
来自母亲的心的生命的礼物
你是我的明星孩子小宝贝，
你是我的赢家小宝贝
达到我的目标，不停地在我的周围飞翔。)

Took it to the edge,
Tried to touch the bottom,
A self-contemptible child, a stone heart inside.
I was running wild, out of control,
Guided by the devil, a first class ride.
把它带到了边缘，
试图触到底部
一个自卑的孩子，心中藏着一块石头
我疯了，无法控制，
在魔鬼的指引下，乘坐头等舱。
Wasn't doing all right,
I was quite out of thrills,
Dying 9 to 5,
Shouldn't I be over the hill?
My life went on and on,
Dying day by day by day,
(All our) happiness was gone...
我做得不好，
我当时很激动
朝九晚五至死
我不是应该在山那边吗？
我的生活还在继续，
日复一日地死去，
我们的幸福都消失了..。
There was no one to save,
There was nothing to do,
After all that we gave.
There was nothing to feel,
There was no one to touch,
But I knew life was real,
'Cause I missed it so much.
(This is) more than a shame,
And we will not remember your name.
没有人需要拯救，
没什么可做的，
我们付出了那么多。
没什么好感觉的，
没有人可以触碰
但我知道生活是真实的
因为我太想念它了
(这)不仅仅是一种耻辱，
而且我们不会记住您的名字。

They'll Fight For Me!

Alert the angels,
This wheel goes fast,
Cry out the warning,
I will not last.
My soul is dying,
Falling to the night,
The cold one's calling,
I see no light.
通知天使们，
这轮子转得快了
大声喊出警告，
我不会持续。
我的灵魂快死了，
掉进夜色，
寒冷的人在召唤，
我看不到光。
Call the guardians,
They'll fight for me,
My soul is bleeding,
As far as I can see.
And there's no reason,
There is no why,
I just wanna live,
I don't wanna die.
通知守护者
他们会为我而战
我的灵魂在流血，
据我所知。
没有理由，
没有原因，
我只想活下去，
我不想死。
I don't wanna die.

Sweep away all the frights and fears.

I'm standing on a bridge between
The start-up and the dust,
Surrounded by the choices I have made.
I feel sometimes strong, and sometimes white,
I don't who to trust,
I need the light, I'm fed up with the shade.
我站在起点和尘土之间的一座桥上，
被我所做的选择所包围。
我有时感觉坚强，有时感觉苍白，
我不相信谁，
我需要灯，我受够了阴影。

Well, someone told me yesterday
My life was on the run,
Surrounded by a shape-up and a freak.
And I will change my way of living,
I know the heat is not the sun,
I've got to stay cool, I haven't reached the peak.
昨天有人告诉我
我的生活像在逃亡，
周围都是畸形和怪胎。
我会改变我的生活方式
我知道热不是太阳，
我得保持冷静，我还没达到顶峰。
Take me home again, please lead me home,
Close my eyes, see the stars set me free.
Home again, please take me home,
Close my eyes, see the stars set me free.

Take new steps, let's ride the storm,
Don't fear the endless night,
The hounds of hell will always keep the pace.
I've passed the ridge, keep moving on,
Reach out and touch the light,
I'm not alone, I've got to feel the brace.
采取新的步骤，让我们乘风破浪，
别害怕没完没了的夜晚，
地狱的猎犬将永远保持速度。
我已经过了山脊，继续前进，
伸出手触摸灯光，我不是一个人，我必须感到振奋。
Take me home again, please lead me home,
Close my eyes, see the stars set me free.
Call me home again, please take me home,
Close my eyes, see the stars they will be.
再带我回家，请带我回家，
闭上我的眼睛，看到星星让我自由。
再呼唤我，请带我回家，
闭上我的眼睛，看到它们将成为星星。
The Tree of Knowledge

Sun will start shining again, walking the days of summer.
Love will give birth to the stars, dancing the clouds of beauty.
Hope is enclosing my mind, playing the tree of knowledge.
I can start living like free, handle the visions lightly,
Feel the new day,
Home of beauty,
Sun will start shining and
Love will give birth to the
Hope is enclosing the
Man will start living like free.
阳光将再次照耀，在夏天的日子里散步。

爱会孕育希望
希望包围着人们
人类将开始过自由的生活。

The Prayer
祷告
Finally losing control, see how the light is falling.
Totally losing the grip, fear that the cold one's calling.
God, will you always be here by my side?
Save me from evil and fear.
God, is it true, if I walk with a stride,
That your presence is closer than near?
最后，失去控制，看看光是如何下降的。
完全失去控制，害怕寒冷的召唤。
上帝，你会永远在我身边吗？
把我从邪恶和恐惧中拯救出来。
天哪，如果我迈着大步走，这是真的吗？
你的存在近在咫尺吗？
I will try, try to work hard,
Just being what I am.
Try, try to work hard,
I'm doing what I can.
Put on my mettle,
Straighten out what's me,
I'll search for all answers,
The truth will set me free.
我会努力，努力工作，
只是做我自己
努力，努力工作，
我在尽我所能。
穿上我的勇气，
弄清楚我是什么，
我会搜索所有的答案，
真相会让我自由。（嗯，花王同名曲）
Finally losing control, see how the light is falling.

Close the Deal

Raise up the sight; well, now it is time, start the wheel.
A new different kind and a new different mind, close the deal.
The draw of the curtain now facing the truth,
The shadows will fade out the fake will expose,
Finally reaching the end of the path,
Unchain your heart and the world will unclose
And the light is here for you.
抬起视线；好吧，现在是时候了，启动车轮
一种新的和另一种不同的思维，完成交易

解开你的心，世界不会关闭
光在这里等着你。

You think you can treat me this way?
Do you think I will say, "it's OK"?
Have you enjoyed the ride so far, my friend?
Have you destroyed enough in my life?
Will you keep on crush it until the end?
You will kill it all, but why?
你觉得你能这样对待我吗？
你觉得我会说“没事”吗？
到目前为止你还玩得开心吗，我的朋友？
你毁了我的生活还不够吗？
你会一直压碎到最后吗？
你会杀光一切，但为什么？

Now you say, "please, let it go,"
Now you talk about forgive and forget,
I guess you'll see a brand new start from here,
I see no guilt and pain in your eyes
Will you start construction once again
Will you kill it all, but why?
Why, why, why, why?
现在你说，“求你了，放手吧，”
现在您谈论宽恕和忘记，
我想你会看到一个全新的开始，
我看不到你眼中的内疚和痛苦
你会再一次构造吗？
你会杀了所有的人，但为什么？

I hear you talk about "the share of pain"
You also talk about, "let's break the chain,"
Meet a brand new day,

我听到你说“痛苦的部分”
你还会说，“让我们打破锁链，”
迎接崭新的一天，
我会出来说，“我自由了！”
But never a change,
I've seen it before
A promise from you means nothing at all
There is no life,
No hope in your eyes
And I feel I can't take this no more
但从未改变过，
我以前见过
你的承诺毫无意义
没有生命，
你眼中没有希望

Do you feel something more than yourself,
Now you've used more than "just me"?
There is a "blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah," surrounding you,

Will you keep on lying until the end?
Will you kill it all, but why?
你是否感觉到了比你自己更多的东西，
现在你用的不仅仅是“只有我”？

你会一直撒谎到最后吗？

Looking back I see the thread,
The connection in our blood,
Sometimes lost but still not dead,
I'm alive! Breathing at the flood.
I'm not talking about fatalism,
I'll choose my own line of action.
I'm not close to the right-wing moral,
Some sins will always tease attraction...
回头看，我看到了旅程
我们血液中的联系，
有时迷失但仍未死亡，
我还活着！在洪水中呼吸。
我不是说宿命论，
我会选择我自己的行动路线。
我不接近右翼道德，
有些罪孽总是挑逗别人.

I hope you'll hear the angels sing...
当我回首往事时，

我希望你能听到天使的歌声..。

Hey you, remember my name!

Life will become what life was meant to be.

Reach out, time is laughing,
Weightless, minds are floating,
Everything goes slowly around in circles
And my mind is cognitated lost in visions
'Cause I hear this voice is calling, saying...
伸出手来，时间在笑，

Looking at the seeds of love,
The wheels of life are spinning wide
The past is now, and now will be
The time ahead and I can see the light.
