行走在纽约曼哈顿中城能给人持续不断的环绕声般的声响体验。2012年我离开了那里,但所有的声音都一直留在我的脑海中。船鸣是我的周日宿醉后的闹钟,清晨垃圾车和公共汽车从我的一天结束时开始了,漫无目的来往街头的传教士,以及街道和地铁上的音乐...《In Me 》是那些在我心中徘徊的声音,以及对我来说纽约灵魂的声音。由此,那些曾走在拐角处的传教士,以这样的方式拯救了我的灵魂。
Midtown Manhattan in New York City is a constant surround-sound experience. But, amidst all the noise are sounds that have stayed in my mind since moving away in 2012. Boat horns that served as my Sunday alarm clock after being out all night drinking, garbage trucks and buses that began their day as my day was ending, street preachers who came and went without rhyme or reason, and music in the streets and subways. In Me is about the sounds that have lingered in me, and the sounds that are the soul of New York for me. Thus, the preachers on the corners, in their own way, help save my soul.
