SteveP: Hey,

スティーヴ・ペリー（以下ペリー）：やあ

Steve P: Good, I been doing Good, I have been feeling better every day.

ペリー：気分いいよ。毎日、気分がよくなりつつあるって感じかな。

Steve P: Yeah

ペリー：うん、そうだね。

Steve P: I'm doing better, I had some surgery, it wasn't a little back thing though, but it was similar. But uh three months on the other side and I'm feeling a whole bunch better.

ペリー：

Steve P: Yeah it's out right now. Uh, it's Steve Perry's Greatest Hits Plus 5 Unreleased, actually there are about 9 unreleased things on there actually

ペリー：うん、それは今発売されているんだ。そう、それは僕のグレイテスト・ヒッツに5曲の未発表曲を加えたものさ。実際は、9曲未発表があるんだけど．．．（こんな訳でしょうか？？）

Steve P: yeah

ペリー：そうなんだ．．．

Steve P: You know what they really are is an album that never came out called "Against The Wall" that was to be my second solo record, and it was to follow Street Talk which had 'Oh Sherrie', and it never got released because I completed it and then Journey was knocking on the door and it was time to do another record, go on tour, so I put it on the shelf.
Cause I was really, my priority was, I was a singer in Journey. My solo projects were for some creative release, and um, went back to Journey did the Raised On Radio record, did the Raised on Radio tour, and then I came back and then made another record and released.　
"For The Love Of Strange Medicine" and so that one sat on the shelf, so now that album was basicaly, is most of the unreleased stuff, plus some demos that have never been heard before.

ペリー：君も知ってのとおり、それらの曲は、"Against The Wall"って付けていたリリースされることのなかったアルバムに収録してたんだ。僕のセカンドソロになるはずだったんだけど。それは、"Oh、Sherrie/Oh、シェリー"が収録されてた"Street Talk/ストリート・トーク"の次の作品になるはずだったんだけど、リリースされることがなかったんだ。なぜなら、僕はそれを完成させていたけど、そのときジャーニーがドアをノックしてきたんだ。別のレコード（Raised On Radio/レイズド・オン・レディオのことでしょう。）を作り、ツアーに出るときだったんだ。だから僕はそれを棚上げしたんだ。
事実、僕はジャーニーのシンガーだったんだし、また優先していたからね。僕のソロプロジェクトでは、何曲かは作ってリリースされてるさ。それで、ジャーニーに戻って、"Raised On Radio/レイズド・オン・レイディオ"を製作して、ツアーをやったよ。それから、僕はもどって、別のレコードを作ってリリースしたんだ。（Raised On Radio/レイズド・オン・レイディオ？？？）
"For The Love Of Strange Medicine/ストレンジ・メディスン"（桃色部分訳不可能）だから今、そのアルバムは基本的に、以前から聴かれたことのなかったいくつかのデモに加えて、リリースされなかった曲がほとんどなんだよ。

Steve P: Ya know, as I go on and I write songs and with people every song creates it own unique demand, Ya know what I mean, and every one of em uh they require a certain amount of believability and I will not stop until I feel like I believe what I am saying.

ペリー：

Steve P: and I'll sing it and I'll pick up on things, and I'll sing until I feel like I believe what I said, ya know and uh I, maybe that's what you are hearing. I won't stop until I am comfortable letting it go.

ペリー：

Steve P: boy uh, of the solo greatest hit which I have, I don't know 'Oh Sherrie' is one of my favorites.I think that uh, 'Against The Wall' is one of the most power house unreleased tracks, and a song called 'Melody' is a beautifull song also unreleased on there.
As far as Journey goes, I think one of my favorite songs I think would be 'Send Her My Love'.

ペリー：そうだね、僕の思うソロ・グレイテスト・ヒッツとしては、"Oh Sherrie/Oh、シェリー"が、僕のお気に入りの１つだなんて分からなかったよ。そうだな、"Against The Wall/アゲインスト・ザ・ウォール"は、最も力を注いで作った未発表曲の中の１つだと思ってるよ。"Melody/メロディー"っていう曲は美しい曲だしね。やはりリリースされていなかったんだ。
ジャーニーに関しては、僕が考えているお気に入りの曲の１つは"Send Her My Love/マイ・ラヴ"だと思ってるよ。

Steve P: Um, as you know they've got a new singer, and uh, I am kinda takin care of my life and they are theirs and I think that we've tried the reunion thing.

ペリー：うーん、君達も知ってのとおり、彼らは新しいシンガーを得たしね。で、僕はどちらかと言えば自分の生活を大事にしてるんだ。彼らは彼らだしね。僕達は、再結成を試みたんだ。

Steve P: and that kinda went its separate ways

ペリー：別々の道を歩んでいったということだよ。

Steve P: Yeah we did the Trial By Fire record which had the single 'When You Love A Woman'

ペリー：うん、僕達は、シングル"When You Love A Woman/ラヴ・ア・ウーマン"が収録された"Trial By Fire/トライアル・バイ・ファイアー"を製作したんだ。

Steve P: and uh, that was what was to be the tour cd that we were going to go out on, and then during a hike I between the end of the album and the starting of the rehearsals I had a problem that arose that was really bad as I was coming down the mountain,and um, that started a whole series of doctors, and ya know surgery is not a group decision. other wise I'll buy and lets all go do it.

ペリー：

Steve P: alright
ペリー：

Steve P: No it was just a hiking thing, sort of a genetic hip problem that I didn't even know that I had until it showed itself.

ペリー：いや、ちょうどハイキングをしていたんだ。

Steve P: It's a very strange thing and then I had to have some reconstruciton done

ペリー：それは、本当に奇妙なことさ。僕は、あるreconstruction（：復興、復元、再建という意味/文全体の訳がどうも分かりませんでした。）をやらなきゃならなったんだ。

Steve P: I'm doing better, thank you.

ペリー：僕は、上手くやってるさ、ありがとう。

Steve P: Aw she's unbelievable, I don't know if I can do that, ya know,Yeah, She's just to scarry.
ペリー：そう、彼女は信じられないくらい素晴らしいからね。（彼女と）デュエットができるかどうか分からないな。うん、彼女も驚くだろう．．．（意訳しています。）

Steve P: Yeah she's just almost decathlon olympic, her voice ya know is just soooo

ペリー：そうだね、彼女はオリンピックの十種競技みたいさ。彼女の声は知ってのとおり、本当に素晴らしいよね。

Steve P: Yeah I did
ペリー：

Steve P: Right
ペリー：うん

Steve P: Right, well ya know that happens from time to time, when you first write a song, and you're in the moment with that song and you have a piece of tape sitting there, and now you're going to try the lyrics that you just finished and sing it for the first time, when you sing something for the first time, usually you can't beat that moment, the first time that canvas kicks that brush accross it. ya know, and

ペリー：

Steve P: and lucky for her and lucky for me 'When You're In Love For The First Time', on my solo greatest hits.

ペリー：

Uh 'Melody', Uh there are a few of them on there those are demo performance just like Celine's was on the Titanic song. 

Meaning it was the first time you sang them, you left them alone, you come back later you say gosh that doesn't need to be sung again. 

That 's great. 

それは、素晴らしいよ。

So it can happen just like that.

Steve P: Well it is probably that she can do better, or, or differently, but there was probably some emotion in it, that you get that you feel a difinative to what you are trying to say.
ペリー：

Steve P: and that the song is diffinitive and if it's not broke don't fix it.

ペリー：そして、歌はdiffinitive（辞書にありませんでした。意味不明）さ。またそれがブレイクしなくても、それに固執してはいけないのさ。（意訳です。）

Steve P: Right
ペリー：いいよ。

Steve P: Oh God, that is a tough question, You have done your homework here.
ペリー：うわあ、それは難しい質問だなあ。君がここで宿題をやってくれよ。

Steve P: Well, I think the first thing that comes to mind is, a lyric in a Dan Fogelbird song that I heard years ago, that is called 'Olde Lang Zyne'. He says the travelling, the audiences were heavenly, the travelling was hell.

ペリー：そう、僕が最初に心の中で浮かぶ事って言えば、僕が数年前に聴いたDan Fogelbirdの曲の中のある歌詞なんだ。その曲は、"Olde Lang Zyne"っていうんだけどね。旅をすること、オーディエンスは天国にいるようなもの、旅をすることは地獄だと言ってるんだよね（？？？）

Steve P: and I think that sorta depicts the whole thing, it really is true then when you perform, and you're in front of the people, just your life stand still and you're in this sort of moment that just feels timeless, and where nothing is touchable to you, and then when you get in your hotel, or get up and get in the bus, or on the plane to travel, the travelling is just hell.　So I think you put up with all the travel'ing just for those moments in front of everybody.
ペリー：

Steve P: it is just so magical.

ペリー：それは、まさに魔法さ。

Steve P: Yeah a big trade off, but I think that the audiences win, because it is just so heavenly.
ペリー：

Steve P: Yeah
ペリー：

Steve P: I would love to do that.
ペリー：

Steve P: Thank you very much

ペリー：ありがとう。感謝してるよ。

Steve P: ok bye bye
Yeah cheers in the background.

ペリー：OK、バイバイ！
