weee.. so excited that i've finally penned my first chinese song. haha, finally accomplished something that i've wanted to for many years..
THE PROCESS*choosing a storyline: inspired by 'The Myth', i decided to refer to the love story in the movie as a source of inspiration..
*the accompanying equipment: 2 dictionaries, 2 rough papers, 1 pen
*
the frustration: yes, very very frustrating when the correct words juz dun get into ur head.. there were instances when i had to edit, then edit again, then more editing to certain phrases that dun seem right.. one of the phrases took almost an hour before i am satisfied with it.. then there are oso some words that i am still not quite satisfied la.. but juz haf to blame it on my poor command of the chinese language lor.. haha
*the duration: 2 hours. i guess this should be very very short, compared to those very pro lyricist? i duno la.. but 2 hours was wad i had..
alright, here it is... but the ting is, the song is still tune-less.. i still can't think of a suitable tune to fit the song yet.. cos the tune has to bring out the feel of the song.. that is, to bring out the melancholy of the story.. so i guess i need much more time to craft out a good tune..
but i still hope i can get the help of ppl la, cos i cant compose good tunes de.. i've tried it last time, but i guess it failed terribly la.. (so if anyone who happens to chance upon this page, and is interested to help me compose a tune, pls tell me k.. den we can work together.. hahaha. sounds like though im a pro...)
ok so here's how the song goes.. i've actually come up with the song structure.. like how many times to repeat, when the chorus repeats, when is the bridge and so on.. haha.
永恒的誓言
~作于2005年9月24日~
试着回忆当年 挽回幕幕画面
闭着双眼的我 入梦与你相会
好想倒流时间 回到悲剧之前
不知梦中的你 何时与我相会
横跨空间的爱 多伟大多坎坷
除了你 只有你 让我非活下不可
Chorus:
守候过千年 等待过万秋
只想寻求昨日的幸福
但归巢的你 已不再是你
永恒的誓言 最后没继续
好想倒流时间 回到悲剧之前
不知梦中的你 何时与我相会
横跨空间的爱 多伟大多坎坷
除了你 只有你 让我非活下不可
(Repeat Chorus)
曾经度过的 每一分 每一秒
为何只能 存进梦境深处
(Repeat Chorus)
永恒的誓言 最终要放弃
人生是黑白的.
