Writing songs is a profession; so it's not an attempt to take things from my interactions with other people and for some reason give them to a total stranger to listen to. I find it offensive to hear other people do that.

  • -- Will Oldham 威尔·奥德姆

写歌是一种职业;所以这并不是试图从我与他人的互动中获取一些东西,出于某种原因,把它们给一个完全陌生的人听。我觉得别人那样做很无礼。
