Wow, this is a lot of people in a tiny office, I love it.

わあ、この小さなオフィスにたくさんの人がいる。

I'm Taylor, welcome to my tiny desk concert.

私はテイラー、私の小さなデスク・コンサートにようこそ。

to 不定詞

ワオ、DCに来られて嬉しいよ。

You guys had anything exciting going on the last couple weeks or any possible changes in play?

ここ数週間、何かエキサイティングな出来事や、プレーに変化があった可能性は？

Do us a favor, give a round of applause to NPR for putting this whole thing on.

Tiny desk is like one of my favorite corners of the internet and I always love seeing like it's an opportunity for artists to decide a different way to showcase their music and so you're kind of inundated by overwhelming opportunity and choices like I just decided to kind of take this as an opportunity to show you guys how the song sounded when I first wrote them.

タイニーデスクは、インターネットのお気に入りのコーナーのひとつで、アーティストが自分たちの音楽を発表する別の方法を決める機会として、圧倒的なチャンスと選択肢があふれているのを見るのがいつも好きなんだ。

So it's just me, there's no dancers, unfortunately.

だから僕だけで、残念ながらダンサーはいないんだ。

So, you know, I have this album that just came out called Lover.

それでね、『Lover』というアルバムが出たばかりなんだ。

気に入ってくれて本当に嬉しい。

It's one of those albums where I wrote everything on one instrument first so it's really fun to pick songs to do acoustically because they all started out that way and there's a song that I had wanted to write conceptually for a very long time because over the course of my life it has occurred to me that we have a bit of a double standard issue in our society.

アコースティックで演奏する曲を選ぶのは本当に楽しいよ。というのも、僕の人生の中で、この社会にはちょっとしたダブルスタンダードの問題があることに気づいたんだ。

It's something I've thought about about 700 million times a day for the last 10 years of my life and I was always just wondering like can I write a song about this?

この10年間、1日に7億回くらい考えてきたことなんだけど、これについて曲を書いてもいいのかな？

Is there a concise and catchy way to write a song about this?

このことについて、簡潔でキャッチーな曲の書き方はあるのだろうか？

What angle would I take if I were to write a song about this?

もし私がこのことについて曲を書くとしたら、どのような角度から書くだろうか？

And so I decided the most fun thing to do would be to imagine what my life would be like and what people would say about my life if I did all the same things but if I was a man.

それで、もし私が男だったら、同じようなことをしていたら、私の人生はどうなっていただろう、人々は私の人生について何と言うだろう、と想像するのが一番楽しいことだと思った。

They say I played the field before I found someone to commit to and that would be okay for me to do.

彼らは、私がコミットする相手を見つける前にフィールドでプレーしたと言う。

Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you.

私が征服するたびに、私はあなたにとってよりボスになる。

私は大胆不敵なリーダーになるだろう。

I'd be an alpha type when everyone believes you.

誰もがあなたを信じるようになれば、私はアルファタイプになる。

Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man.

もし私が男だったら、もっと早くそこに辿り着けるのだろうかと。

And I'm so sick of them coming at me again.

そして、私は彼らがまた私に襲いかかってくることにとてもうんざりしている。

Because if I was a man, then I'd be the man.

もし私が男だったら、私が男になっていただろうから。

彼らは私がハッスルし、仕事に打ち込んだと言うだろう。

They wouldn't shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve.

彼らは首を縦に振ったり、私にどれだけの価値があるのかと質問したりはしない。

What I was wearing, if I was rude, could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves.

私が何を着ていたか、無作法だったかどうかは、すべて私の優れたアイデアや力技から切り離すことができた。

If they would toast to me, oh, let the players play.

もし彼らが私に乾杯してくれたら、ああ、選手たちにプレーさせてあげよう。

サントロペにいるレオのようにね。

What's it like to brag about raking in dollars and getting bitches and models?

金を巻き上げ、女やモデルをゲットしたことを自慢するのはどんな感じ？

If I was outrushing my dollars, I'd be a bitch, not a baller.

もし、私がドルを使い果たしたら、私はビッチになる。

彼らは僕を悪者にするために金を出したんだ。

だから、怒っていてもいいんだ。

Because I'm so sick of them coming at me again.

また襲ってくるのが嫌でたまらないからだ。

もし私が男だったら、私が男になる。

So there's a really good Elizabeth Gilbert Ted talk about that, that is like one of my favorite things to like cry while watching.

それについてのエリザベス・ギルバートのテッド・トークがとても素晴らしくて、それを見ながら泣くのが大好きなんだ。

But yeah, like with this song, it was one of those weird moments where I was just like, okay, this is just middle of the night, I'm like in my PJs, like stumbling to the piano because I got this idea.

でもこの曲は、真夜中にPJを着たまま、ピアノに向かってつまずくような奇妙な瞬間のひとつだった。

And the song just happened really quickly.

そして、この曲は本当にすぐにできた。

There's a line in the song that I'm really proud of.

この曲の中で、私が本当に誇りに思っているセリフがある。

And the line says, with every guitar string scar on my hand, I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover.

ギターの弦の傷が手につくたびに、私はこの磁力のような男を恋人にする。

And that line is really special to me because I've spent quite a bit of time writing breakup songs and songs about things not turning out the way you wanted them to or songs about what you thought would be love and it turned out to not be that at all or, you know, just kind of the struggle of life.

というのも、私は別れの曲や、物事が思い通りにならないことを歌った曲、愛だと思っていたことが全然そうでなかったことを歌った曲、あるいは人生における葛藤のようなものを書くのにかなりの時間を費やしてきたからだ。

I find songwriting is really just like a cathartic therapeutic thing for me.

曲作りは、僕にとってカタルシス療法みたいなものなんだ。

And so there are a lot of things I've written about in my life that were like the harder things I've had to go through.

だから、私の人生には、私が経験しなければならなかった辛いことのようなことを書いたものがたくさんある。

So I took that as a metaphor for like, you know, the times when I was learning to play guitar and I like play till my fingers bled when I was a kid and I still have those marks from that.

だから僕は、ギターを習っていたころ、子供のころに指が血だらけになるまで弾いたことがあったんだ。

And, you know, all the times I'd be like changing a string and it would pop and I still have scars from that.

そして、弦を張り替えるようなことをしているうちに、弦が切れてしまったんだ。

But it's also a bigger metaphor for like in life you accumulate scars, you accumulate hurt, you accumulate moments of, you know, learning and disappointment and struggle and all that.

でも、それは人生における傷の蓄積、傷の蓄積、学びや失望、葛藤などの瞬間の蓄積というような、より大きな比喩でもあるんだ。

And if someone's going to take your hand, they better take your hand scars and all.

誰かがあなたの手を取るつもりなら、あなたの手の傷跡やすべてを取った方がいい。

We could leave the Christmas lights up till January This is our place, we make the rules Then there's a dazzling haze, mysterious way about you dear Have I known you twenty seconds, twenty years?

クリスマスのイルミネーションは1月まで飾ったままにしておいてもいい ここは私たちの場所、私たちがルールを決める それから眩しい靄がかかったような、ミステリアスな雰囲気があなたにはある あなたを知って20秒、20年経っただろうか？

あなたが行くところに行ってもいいですか？

Can we always be this close forever and ever?

私たちはいつまでも、いつまでも、このように仲良しでいられるのだろうか？

You take me out and you take me home You're my, my, my, my lover We could let our friends crash in the living room You take me home Cause this is our place, we make the call And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you I loved you three summers now honey, but I want them all Can I go where you go?

君は僕を連れ出し、家に連れ帰る 君は僕の、僕の、僕の恋人だ 友達をリビングルームに泊めてもいい 君は僕を家に連れ帰る だってここは僕らの場所だから 僕らが決めるんだ そして君を見る誰もが君を欲しがるんじゃないかと 強く疑ってるんだ 3年前の夏を愛してたんだ でも全部欲しいんだ 君が行くところに僕も行っていい？

You take me out and you take me home You're my, my, my, my lover Ladies and gentlemen will you please stand With every guitar string scar on my hand I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover And my heart's been borrowed, yours has been blew All's well that ends well to end up with you Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me And at every table I'll save you a seat Can I go where you go?

You're my, my, my, my lover Ladies and gentlemen will please stand With every guitar string scar on my hand I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover And my heart's been borrowed, yours has been blew All's well that ends well to end up with you 誓

You take me out and you take me home You're my, my, my, my Oh you're my, my, my, my Darling you're my, my, my, my Lover You guys ever had costume changes a time ago?

So over the course of the years that I've done interviews Which is I think probably about like 15 or 16 years now I've gotten a question over and over again that I think Has the potential to seriously deteriorate my mental health The question is What will you ever do if you get happy?

だから、もう15年か16年くらいになると思うけど、何度も何度も、私のメンタルを著しく悪化させる可能性のある質問を受けてきたんだ。

Will you just never be able to write a song again?

もう二度と曲は書けないのですか？

It's an interesting question And you know in the interviews when I would get that question As a young person and I'd kind of be like Well I started out writing songs about stuff I had no idea about Like I started writing songs when I was 12 years old And they were usually about like heartbreak I had no idea what I was talking about But I had watched movies and I had read books And so I would grab inspiration from character dynamics as you do And so I would say in the interviews Like I'd probably just do that Like if stuff is going on in the world that's not just happening to me Like maybe I could get inspiration from that But then I'd go home and I'd be like What would happen if I was ever happy?

面白い質問だね。インタビューでは、若い頃にそのような質問をされたとき、僕はこう答えるんだ。でも、家に帰って、もし僕が幸せだったらどうなるんだろうって考えるんだ。

Would I not be able to do the thing that I love the most in the world?

世界で一番好きなことができなくなる？

Like would that, is that, oh my god Would I not be able to write breakup songs anymore?

もう別れの曲は書けないのかな？

I love breakup songs They're so fun to write And so then I happened to be writing this album Lover Which is a very, very happy, romantic album And I started, like in my life A few of my friends were going through breakups and we were talking It's like those kinds of breakups where you need to talk to your friend all the time Because they need to talk about it all day, every day So I was having a lot of conversations about breakups I watched movies that were really well done about breakups In some of the books I was reading there were some good breakups happening And so this all culminated in me waking up one day With all these heartbreak lyrics in my head And I was like, it's still here!

別れの曲は書くのがとても楽しいし、このアルバム『LOVER』はとてもハッピーでロマンチックなアルバムなんだ、別れをテーマにした映画も見たし、読んでいた本にも別れをテーマにしたものがあった！

So I ended up writing a song That was a breakup song on the Lover album And I was like, this song is my proof that You know, don't have to stop writing songs about heartache and misery Which for me is incredible news So this is called Death by a Thousand Cuts My, my, my, my My, my, my, my Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts Flashbacks waking me up I get drunk but it's not enough Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby I look through the windows of this love Even though we've ordered them up Chandeliers still flicker in here Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not It's death by a thousand cuts I dress to kill my time I take the long way home I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright They say I don't know And what once was ours is no one's now I see you everywhere The only thing we share is this small town You said it was a great love One for the ages But if the story's over Why am I still writing pages?

それで結局、アルバム『Lover』に収録されていた別れの曲を書いたんだ。この曲は、心の痛みや惨めさを歌った曲を書くことをやめなくていいという証拠なんだ、さよならを言うのは千回の切り傷による死だ フラッシュバックで目が覚める 酔うけど十分じゃない 朝が来ても君は僕のベイビーじゃない この愛の窓を覗く シャンデリアはまだここに明滅してる

Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts Flashbacks waking me up I get drunk but it's not enough Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby I look through the windows of this love Even though we've ordered them up Chandeliers still flicker in here Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not It's death by a thousand cuts My heart, my hips, my body, my love Trying to find a part of me that you didn't touch Gave up on me like I was a bad drug Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted club Our songs, our films, united we stand Our country, yes it was a lawless land Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand Paper cut stings from a paper man dance My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust Trying to find a part of me you didn't take up Gave you too much but it wasn't enough I'll be alright, it's just a thousand cuts I get drunk but it's not enough Cause you're not my baby I look through the windows of this love Even though we've ordered them up Chandeliers still flicker in here Cause I can't pretend it's okay when it's not No it's not It's death by a thousand cuts My body, my love, my trust But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough, no, no I ask the traffic lights if it'll be alright They say I don't know I have three that I don't know So I was trying to think of what songs to do for this And you get like, I think you get like four So I was just like And so I was thinking about how it's autumn And that's like my favorite season And people on the internet have been kind enough In and amongst the people who care about my music Have been kind enough to associate autumn with one of my albums Called Red And you know, I guess it's just a very like autumn-y album And so I was thinking about that Like how it's so nice, the crisp fall air is happening And you know, I don't Google myself ever I recommend you not do it either But my dad does And he like will send me links to things And every once in a while I'll see them And that's the only way I get my news But he sends me these lists that are like very nice Like ranking my songs, which that's really nice of people to do I really love that people do that And I find it really nice And I'm grateful that people care enough to rank my songs There's one song that I'm particularly proud of Because when the Red album came out There was this one song on the album that I was like I'm the only one who loves this song this much But it's only because it happened to me and it was personal No one else is going to like All Too Well as much as like And when it came out on the album Like slowly but surely over the course of that album's life And then beyond, you know You guys have made that song something that was way more Than I ever thought the life of that song would be And like I've just had so much fun playing it in concert And like screaming it with you guys And yeah, so the fact that the song went out into the world And you guys like made it so that it's like always I think it's usually number one on any list That's like saying what my songs are Which is great And I'm happy that like my opinion lines up with your opinion on that Because that was probably my favorite song on Red And so I figured that maybe I would play it for you Before I do play it for you I just wanted to say thank you so much for having me This is really amazing to get to do this And I'm honored that I was invited And the fact that this many people would want to cram into a space I really, I understand the sacrifices that have been made for me today So here's a sad song about fall I walked through the door with you It was cold Something about it felt like home Somehow and I left my scarf there At your sister's house And you've still got it in your drawer Even now With your sweet disposition My wide-eyed gaze We're singing in the car Getting lost upstate Autumn leaves falling down Like pieces into place I can picture it After all these days And I know it's long gone And that magic's not here no more And I might be okay But I'm not fine at all Cause there we are again On that little town street You almost ran the red Cause you were looking over at me Wind in my hair I was there I remember it all too well Photo album on the counter Your cheeks were turning red You used to be a little kid with glasses In a twin-size bed Your mother's telling stories about you On the t-ball team You taught me about your past Thinking your future was me And I know it's long gone And there was nothing else I could do I forget about you long enough To forget why I needed you Cause there we are again In the middle of the night Dancing round the kitchen In the refrigerator light Down the stairs I was there I remember it all too well Maybe we got lost in translation Maybe I asked for too much Maybe this thing was a masterpiece Till you tore it all up Running scared I was there I remember it all too well And you call me up again Just to break me like a promise So casually cruel In the name of being honest I'm a crumpled up piece of paper Lying here Cause I remember it all Too well Time won't fly It's like I'm paralyzed by it I'd like to be my old self again But I'm still trying to find it After pleasure days And nights when you made me your own Now you mail back my things And I walk home alone But you keep my old scarf From that very first week Cause it reminds you of innocence And it smells like me You can't get rid of it Cause you remember it all too well Cause there we are again When I loved you so Back before you lost The one real thing you've ever known It was rare You were there You remember it all too well Wind in my hair You were there You remember it all down the stairs You were there You remember it all It was rare You were there You remember it all too well Thanks for having me!
