Xiaohan's Newest Lyrics

Wrote this sometime back.. it is recently finally published in Yanzi's newest album.

漩渦
作詞：小寒　作曲：李偲菘　編曲：Martin Tang

總裝著很有把握　不准愛滲入生活
才發現闖了禍　讓你當真以為我的心上了鎖
讓你絕望地走　成全獨立的我

好想摀住耳朵　不想不看不想聽誰說
　好想蹲在角落　把譴責的眼光都躲過
　像個黑色漩渦　將我吞沒　悔恨已逃不脫
　我承認這都是我　感情事處理得不妥
　從不說　我愛你　(那麼多)

原來人可能脆弱　愛讓我很難振作
我坐在最前座　人生第一次面對什麼叫落寞
經歷你這一走　最大傻瓜是我


我不要誰好心幫我　每個人像在隔岸觀火　看我犯錯
(提醒我說　都是我的錯　提醒我說　逼你離開我)
就算同情是條繩索　我也沒辦法伸出雙手
拯救自己(除了你)　除非是你(拯救我)
肯回頭(為了我)　扭轉這個結果

我愛你　那麼多

Music and Lyrics

For the FIRST time, someone acknowledged the importance of lyrics in a song.. by filming a movie, casting 2 of the most likeable actor/actress in hollywood: Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore

"MUSIC and LYRICS"

Well, the show was a typical feel-good movie, very Hugh Grant, very Drew Barrymore. The storyline is typical hollywoodish, soapyish too.
Also they oversimplify the course of music writing and production.
And of course (to my envy, lyricist gets the job of writing the words first while the composer fills in the notes, working within constrains of the creativity of the lyricist). And they are still using CD players for a top notch Pop Sensation (won't they be using Ipod?).

But the drawing point is the clever lines and good lyrics.

One eg.

Way back into love (Music and Lyrics) by Adam Schlesinger (who wrote That thing you do and Stacy's mum)

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere
I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody just to get me throught the night

I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love

And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love

And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end


Aspired lyricist, you will feel good after watching this movie.
