别让我看穿 朝往天涯的孤单 就好聚好散

I get to relive my student days now that my songwriting classes at FM have started. It is rather lovely to be in a classroom environment again, learning professionally about something you are passionate for. 师傅小寒 is natural and candid so the first lesson was fun and I felt really comfortable. Earlier on, before the class officially began, she has requested that each student rewrite the lyrics of a self-selected song for her to read and get a sense of our competency and standard. So encouragement came when she remarked to me that the lyrics I wrote was "不错哦" and all I could squeak out was "谢谢老师,请多多指教!"


破绽 词: 洪筱薇

Verse 1
想你的我很傻吧 为何始终牵挂 再次见面也只有我会尴尬
处之泰然太虚假 如何故做潇洒 接受当年的沉默就是解答
温柔的问我好吗 就像从没分岔 一个人幸福之旅有谁抵达
捧著没结果的花 梦游多少年华 莫忘曾任性宣誓非你不嫁

Chorus
时间让回忆善良 忘了最初的迷惘哀伤 就好像分手没发生过一样
遗憾是爱到极端 象普通朋友那般 说得太委婉还有什么渲染
久违的荡气回肠 重逢了也要提防 不能再经历失去你的恐慌
反正习惯了就算 等到某天学会隐藏
过去能安详 爱得深切又何妨 看不出破绽

Verse 2
故事人说得沙哑 童话不信也罢 反正你一直就在等我长大
我也有我的想法 眼里只有你啊 哪会管附属的是什么代价
能放多久的长假 静止内心挣扎 爱的灵魂和肉体总有偏差
有一天我会放下 你也会蒸发 明白没彼此的一生不可怕

Chorus
时间让回忆善良 忘了最初的迷惘哀伤 就好像分手没发生过一样
遗憾是爱到极端 象普通朋友那般 说得太委婉还有什么渲染
久违的荡气回肠 重逢了也要提防 不能再经历失去你的恐慌
反正习惯了就算 等到某天学会隐藏
过去能安详 爱得深切又何妨 看不出破绽

Final Line
别让我看穿 朝往天涯的孤单 就好聚好散


To be sung to the tune of 陈奕迅's《富士山下》

Ooh and she said to the class that the best way to write inspired lyrics is to 谈恋爱


Addendum: Does going to the zoo with Mr Dimples count?

Like got some words missing leh.

Eg. 重逢了也要提防 from the chorus.

and 你也会蒸发 from verse two.

You know what I mean. The words don't really mesh up with the original tune here, unless you drag them out.

Unless you meant to do that. But dragging out is not very nice leh. I thought your original one/first draft wasn't like that.

You know what you should do? Write new Mandarin lyrics for 裙下之臣 and kick 方文山's ass. His lyrics suck for 煙味.

"有一天我会放下 你也会蒸发 明白没彼此的一生不可怕... 时间让回忆善良 忘了最初的迷惘哀伤 就好像分手没发生过一样"

I like this. But, I think it also depends on the current state of mind. On a another day, i may like another verse.

Ur fav verse is too pessimistic lar! I hope u will like the verses that i like very soon!
