親愛的網友們,

I appreciate all the discussion over the past few days about my album, "心中的日月 ". It is so different from anything I've done in the past, and as I have repeatedly stated, is a new beginning, the attempt to create a clearer sonic identity for Chinese hip-hop music, the, "Chinked-out" style. Whether I succeeded or not in this goal, only time will tell. I definitely don't expect everyone to "get it" right away...and that's ok!

To me, making music is not about winning awards. Creating songs that I believe in and sharing them with the world is my greatest joy and I feel blessed to be able to do what I love. That to me, is where all the success is. If I win awards, if my album sells well, that's just a bonus.

I know my supporters feel strongly about this album, and so do I. But I don't care if it doesn't win an award, so please don't feel bad! In fact many of the most important musical works in history were critically denounced at the time.

I'd rather spend my time and energy moving forward, helping to create, not destroy, what so many young Chinese composer/artists like myself are devoting our lives to: the best music we can make. If you'd rather hear music that is more "輕鬆", there's plenty out there! But I believe that our music is our culture, and someday soon the whole world will listen to Chinese pop music, and thru it, understand more about Chinese people. I hope my positive energy spreads to you all as well. Don't be angry, it's not worth it!



親愛的網友們,

我感謝這幾天你們對我的專輯 “ 心中的日月” 所做的討論. 這張專輯和我以往的專輯是非常不同的. 誠如我之前重複解釋過很多次的, “ 心中的日月” 它是一個全新的開始; 清楚的運用中國五音階為 “華人嘻哈” 開創更清楚的聽覺身分， 一個”chinked-out” 的音樂風格. 至於我是不是可以達成這個目標, 只有時間會告訴我們. 我當然沒有期待每一個人會立刻了解我創作的企圖心 … 如果沒有, 也沒有關係.

對我而言, 做音樂並不是為了得獎, 創作我相信的音樂, 與這個世界分享我的音樂是我最大的喜樂. 我覺得非常幸運, 我的工作就是我熱愛的音樂. 對我而言這已是所謂成功的囘報了. 如果專輯得了獎, 銷售成績好, 那只是額外的收穫.

我知道我的支持者對這張專輯有著強烈的感覺, 我也是一樣. 但是, 如果它得不到任何的獎 我並不在乎. 所以, 請你們也不要為此感到難過! 事實上, 歷史上許多重要的音樂作品, 在它們發表的當時都曾被嚴厲的批判過.

我寧願把我的時間和精力放在前瞻的視野, 幫助去創造, 而不是去毀滅, 許多像我一樣年輕的華語音樂創作人,為我們能做到的最好的音樂奉獻我們的精力. 如果您寧願聽一些所謂” 輕鬆的” 音樂, 在目前的環境中, 您已經有很多的選擇. 然而, 我相信我們的音樂就是我們的文化, 即將來臨的有一天, 全世界的人會開始聽我們華語的流行音樂, 透過我們的音樂更進一步了解我們. 希望我正面積極的態度會拓散給你們. 不要氣餒, 因為它不值得.

Love, peace and music, 王力宏
