Finding One’s Voice: A Fisherman’s Journey into Music in “A Beautiful Life”


The Danish film Ready Steady Cut tells the heartfelt story of a humble fisherman who unexpectedly finds his way into the music industry and discovers his hidden talent for song. 

Released in 2023, the film quickly became the Non-English Top 10 list within its first week, receiving widespread acclaim for its exploration of humanity and purpose. This journey moves and inspires, showing us the power of self-discovery and connection.

The protagonist initially treats music as a personal escape, sharing his songs only with himself and the vast ocean. But when a music producer stumbles upon his "hidden gem," he struggles with performing publicly. In a pivotal conversation by the sea, the female lead helps him realize the true essence of music. 

She gently nudges him, saying, “Who is your song meant for? A song doesn’t come out of nowhere; it belongs to two people—the one who sings and the one who listens. Whether in a recording studio or a stadium filled with thousands, you’re not singing into the air. You sing for someone or imagine someone right in front of you. If you’re not singing for someone, it’s empty. Both the song and you remain incomplete.
This conversation opens his heart, allowing him to embrace his music’s purpose and begin sharing it with the world. This isn’t only the start of his musical journey but also a profound stage in his personal growth, where he discovers his own voice in life.

To explore these themes further, you may enjoy books like Music and Relationships: Listening for a Better World, which examines the deep connections between music and human relationships, or The Craft of Songwriting: Music, Meaning, & Emotion, which delves into how songs connect singer and listener through emotion and purpose.

午後的陽光在水面上閃爍,像是有一雙手輕輕撫過湖心。天空被一抹亮白的雲占據,輪廓清晰,像被細膩雕琢的石膏,浮在高空。這雲很大,卻輕盈得不著痕跡,讓人幾乎忘了它正被無形的風推向遠方。 空氣裡有熱度,也有一種難以言喻的壓力。人們說,颱風來之前的天色總是特別美,那美不只是顏色,還有一種...
