Still embrace:偶像出題的填詞挑戰,我怎麼可以錯過!
講了很多別人的作品,不知道大家會不會已經聽膩了呢?好像該分享一些自己寫的作品了──
正當我這麼想時,正好就看到吳海文這個有趣的小小社會實驗。本來覺得英文歌詞我並不拿手,沒有打算挑戰。但是看完影片後,我覺得實在太有趣了,忍不住想了一個晚上,於是也填了一個自己的版本。
這篇創作分享影片真的很有趣,大家也點開來看看吧!
我的粉絲專頁教的是歌詞創作,有歌詞賞析、創作故事、創作雜談等分類,以華語歌為主,但是也接受台語歌或英語歌的挑戰。

Verse 1
Do you still remember then?
When we first began a dance?
I asked your name. They passed the chants along the shining band.
If once again, would you still hold my hands?
Chorus 1
If after all, love is a maze,
All the fairytales are covered half in haze.
If after all, you're not my babe,
I won't escape, once I learned how you taste.
Verse 2
Is this where the story ends?
When we lied we'd still be friends?
I guess that's why young lovers were never considered wise.
As I looked back, I finally knew the price.
Chorus 2
If after all, love is a maze
Lies too many promises within a haste.
If that's not all, pain's what it takes,
I'll still embrace, cuz you're my best mistake.
(填詞挑戰 Still embrace 吳海文作曲)
§
不免俗地,還是按照我的課綱架構來賞析一下自己填的詞。
一、押韻
因為作曲者有提示押韻的方向,所以韻腳的挑選就明確很多,朝著常用的套路,還是可以發想出許多漂亮的句子。最後,還剩一些韻腳blaze、face、pace沒有用到。
不過我發現,英文的押韻寬鬆化還是跟中文不太一樣,對於不同的結尾子音-aze和-ake有時候不影響聽覺體驗,但長母音的/e/卻明顯比/æ/或/ε/來得悠揚許多。所以,我沒有挑選head、bed、thread這些短母音的韻腳,主歌則是挑選hand、dance、ends這些鼻韻的字來延長尾音,配合樂句的節奏。
二、結構
兩段主歌本來打算使用倒敘法,先講即將分開的現在,然後回頭看剛認識的時候,帶出不是每段感情都有結果的主題,再用回頭看起來,任何愛情都還是很值得開始來做結尾。
不過,Is this where the story ends的畫面感比較模糊而且偏直接突兀,不太適合用在開頭,所以還是把它拉到主歌二做自問自答來讓主角糾結。
兩段副歌我還是使用排比手法,第二句用空間的景色covered in haze和時間的倉促within a haste來呼應,第四句用感情開始前的心情「即使不順利我也不會逃」來對應結束後的心情「再選一次我還是會擁抱」。
副歌二第三句我稍微改了一下,把if after all改成if that's not all,唱到這類的小轉折時容易打動聽眾的淚腺。
三、主題
我非常同意吳海文在影片裡面講的「punch line」,也就是一首歌最重要的一句詞必須要是情感強烈的,而不能純說理,會讓人難以共感。同樣的,也不能每一句詞都是punch line,每一句話都正中不同的紅心會讓一首歌語詞太銳利,主題也會無法聚焦。
Punch line通常也會跟歌名有關,歌名最常出現在一個段落的第一句和第四句,其次是第三句。在這次填的詞裡,Love is a maze、still embrace、best mistake都是比較強烈的,可以當作歌名,最後不選Love is a maze是因為以前好像已經有同名的歌曲了,不選Best mistake則它似乎無法代表整首歌的主題。
而選擇了Still embrace是因為embrace也代表探戈舞的舞姿,和主歌的dance、hold my hands都跟跳舞有關,可以互相呼應。不過整體而言,我還是覺得punch line稍弱、主題(在舞會認識)也稍嫌老套了點。
四、修辭
原本寫All the fairytales are meant for those insane,韻腳insane音律勉強可以合,但語義不夠明確。特別去查到haze這個韻腳的意思(陰霾),可以表達意境就改為現案。
原本寫When we said we'd still be friends,檢查的時候覺得太多歌使用過,有些了無新意,改一個字lied比較畫龍點睛,效果很好。
§
因為有好一段時間是自己作詞作曲,很久沒有填詞了。這次有機會填出自己也很喜歡的英文作品,感覺能力也往前跨出了一步,真的很感謝有吳海文的這個企劃。
如果你也喜歡,也順手幫我分享吧!

what lovers do 歌詞 在 時光之硯 Facebook 八卦
【一天分享一首歌之第24天】〈Vincent〉/ Don McLean
大年初四,祝我農曆生日快樂。今天來聽一首許多人熟悉的老歌,是唐恩麥克林45年前寫來緬懷畫家梵谷的〈Vincent〉——或在許多人記憶中,這首歌叫做〈Starry Starry Night〉。「Starry, starry night / Paint your palette blue and gray...」輕巧的吉他搭配清透的歌聲,是音樂最純直美麗的模樣。
據麥克林自己說,這首歌詞是他在一次空閒時讀完梵谷的傳記,靈感與衝動一來,即時寫完的。一句句其實精心地指涉了好多張梵谷的畫作,或畫中常見的元素如麥田、太陽花、或他的自畫像:「Portraits hung in empty halls / Frameless heads on nameless walls / With eyes that watch the world and can't forget」真是好孤單的臉龐。
但他真正想表達、想唱的是:「如今我終於明白,那些你試著告訴我的,那種種理性帶給你的痛,及你多麼想要透過藝術,帶給他們自由⋯⋯只可惜他們不懂。他們大概永遠不會懂。(Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me / And how you suffered for your sanity / And how you tried to set them free / They would not listen, they're not listening still / Perhaps they never will)」
藝術創作是孤獨的,是在私密的花園等待靈感降臨,靈感可能永遠不會來,也可能眷顧了你一陣子,又突然消失了。留下茫然無助的自己在原地,急著想回到過去,都快急哭了。然從梵谷暴烈的一生,那日益扭曲狂亂的視野中,唐恩麥克林讀到了他想掙脫,想留住雙眼看見的風景,想尋求自由的那種美麗。而他用歌聲表達這一切,表達他的疼惜和不捨,表達對那濃烈的星光閃爍的夜空的嚮往。那佈滿星星的夜呀,是多麼想被瞭解,多麼渴望被擁抱?
今晚話有點太多了。跟大家分享這首,讓我們再聽一次心疼的歌聲。晚安囉。

#一天分享一首歌
“Vincent” by Don McLean
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will

__________________________________________
【The Empire】是知名製作人 陶山老師 在西雅圖的樂團,於1997年陶山 還在唸高中時組成,團員是5個和他一起長大的好朋友,五個人都會創作唱歌,也都精通多種樂器。
2003年 莫文蔚《愛死你》,2015年 謝和弦 & 王詩安《愛不需要裝乖》,當年未發行的demo都是由【The Empire】演唱。
【The Empire】的五名團員,現在都已經是音樂圈裡知名的音樂人;
除了 陶山老師 (http://www.skotsuyama.com) 在華語音樂裡有著“超強主打製造機”的名號之外;女主唱 Melissa Reese (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_Reese) 也加入了世界知名樂團 “槍與玫瑰” ,在全世界巡演;男主唱 Matt Gervais 也加入了美國知名樂團 “The Head and the Heart” (http://www.theheadandtheheart.com) 在全美巡迴演出;另外主唱 Mike Gervais 也出了一張兒童音樂專輯 - “Mikey TheRadScientist” (http://mikeymikemusic.weebly.com) 在西雅圖到處為兒童做音樂表演;還有主唱 Tobias Burch 也創立了一個重金屬樂團Amort,繼續做他喜歡的音樂。
《Never the Point》這首歌是在某一年,陶山 回到西雅圖時,因為剛失戀,在飛機上很快地寫出了這一首歌曲,回到家和這五個好朋友聚會時,團員們迅速的加上更多歌詞和idea,改用歡樂的氣氛玩出了這一首歌曲,安慰了當時情傷的陶山。
所以《Never the Point》雖然是一首心碎的歌曲,但你可以聽到珍貴且深厚的友誼在裡面,這就是【The Empire】樂團的魔力!
【The Empire】五個團員:
因為音樂,變成了好朋友;
用著音樂,療癒安慰彼此;
最後,在對音樂的愛裡,一起長大!
【The Empire】,這是一個代表對音樂最純粹的愛和友情的樂團。
The Empire is Mandarin music producer, Skot Suyama’s Seattle-based band that was formed in 1997 while they were in high school. Other than Skot, whose influence as a hit-making producer is prominent within the Asian region, Melissa Reese is also part of American legend Guns n’ Roses’ world tour. While Matt Gervais is part of well-known American band The Head and the Heart currently touring across the U.S. Mike Gervais also writes children’s music, releasing an album Mikey Mike, The Rad Scientist. Tobias Burch occasionally makes funeral doom music with his band, which consists of only himself, Amort.
Never The Point was written when Skot returned to Seattle one year, and because he had recently broken up with his girlfriend (who he later married), wrote the verse and chorus for it on the plane. When he got home and met up with his five friends, the other band members quickly threw out more lyrics and ideas, to create this song and cheer up the broken-hearted Skot.

Never The Point
我們的愛不是那樣
Music/Lyrics: Skot Suyama (陶山), Melissa Reese, Matt Gervais, Mike Gervais, Tobias Burch
Should I remove the tattoos that I got for you?
我該把為了你而刺的刺青除掉嗎?
nah fuck that shit, I’d rather play it cool
算了我不想管,寧可假裝不在乎
Cause nobody knows what life could bring,
因為沒有人知道生命想帶給你什麼
and then everything is just everything
然後一切事情都還是一樣
And I always thought that you could be my wife
我一直以為妳會成為我的老婆
But everybody changes, that’s the nature of life
可是人會變,這就是宇宙定律
And if you be friends to the very end, we can just pretend
如果你覺得我們可以永遠做朋友,那我們就這樣假裝
But that was never the point of you and I and us,
可是你跟我都知道,我們的愛根本不是那樣
Never the point, baby, of love
我們的愛根本不是那樣
You know your heart’s the only thing you can trust
你知道你的心想要什麼
Don’t let your mind fuck you up too much
不要讓你的頭腦把自己弄得太混亂
But if it gets in the way, then all I can say is
但如果最後,你的頭腦贏了你的心,我也只能說
‘I’ll miss you when you're gone’
妳離開之後我會想妳的
And I’ll try my best to move on
而且我會努力忘記妳,繼續生活
Do I remove the tattoo that I got for you?
我該把為了你而刺的刺青除掉嗎?
Or do I put you through the pain that you put me through?
還是我該讓妳試試看妳到底讓我多痛苦?
Do I hate you and blame you? Wish I never had dated you?
我是不是恨妳,怪妳,寧願我們從來沒有在一起過?
Or take a little vacation, get away, and hope that someday I’ll forget you?
還是去渡個假,離開傷心地,希望總有一天我會忘記妳?
Cause to me, love is dead, you went and shot it in the head
因為對我來說,我的愛情已死亡,被你殺死的愛
I bet you’ve never have guessed it be hard to stay friends
妳應該從來沒想過只是當朋友有多困難
While my heart’s still so broken
當我還在心碎時
But that was never the point of you and I and us,
可是你跟我都心知肚明,我們之間的愛根本不是那樣
Never the point, baby, of love
我們的愛根本不是那樣
You know your heart’s the only thing you can trust
你永遠都知道自己的心想要什麼
Don’t let your mind fuck you up too much
不要讓你的頭腦把自己弄得太混亂
But if it gets in the way, then all I can say is
但如果最後,你的頭腦贏了你的心,我也只能說
‘I’ll miss you when you're gone’
妳離開之後我會想妳的
And I’ll try my best to move on
而且我會努力忘記妳,繼續生活
Well, it didn’t take too long, for us to know
當初我們很快就知道
we’d be lovers and nothing more
我們的心只想在一起
But it feels so wrong singing love songs
但唱情歌時總是覺得不對勁
just to prove ourselves to each other darling over and over again
只是一直地保證彼此我們會是情人
But that was never the point of you and I and us,
可是你跟我都心知肚明,我們之間的愛根本不是那樣
Never the point, baby, of love
我們的愛根本不是那樣
You know your heart’s the only thing you can trust
你永遠都知道自己的心想要什麼
Don’t let your mind fuck you up too much
不要讓你的頭腦把自己弄得太混亂
But if it gets in the way, then all I can say is
但如果最後,你的頭腦贏了你的心,我也只能說
‘I’ll miss you when you're gone’
妳離開之後我會想妳的
And I’ll try my best to move on
而且我會努力忘記妳,繼續生活

Lyrics:
I could swear for a minute
我發誓無需多久
You could see right through me
你便能將我心看透
And you were reading to me like you always did
一如往常 你念著故事給我聽
And your name was Kathleen
而你的名為凱薩琳
Why do I let people be bad to me
為何我任由別人欺壓我
Ignore reality
逃避現實
She said don't take things too personally
而她告訴我別太掛念於心
And her was Kathleen
而她的名為凱薩琳
Tread, tread gently
放輕步伐
Cos you'll be bound to cry
因為你定會因此哭泣
So stay in your corner and I’ll stay here in mine
所以 你我待在各自歸屬之地吧
Just go, be slow and you’ll figure it out
放緩步伐 你終會明白
Head low you’ll know how to turn it around
低調行事 方能知曉如何扭轉局勢
You’ll sleep with lovers
你會同戀人同眠
Sleep on sofas
躺在沙發上 進入夢鄉
Sleep with others again
再相伴於他人入夢
Just go, be slow and you’ll figure it out
放緩步伐 你終會明白
Head low you’ll know how to turn it around
低調行事 方能知曉如何扭轉局勢
You’ll sleep with lovers
你會同戀人同眠
Sleep on sofas
躺在沙發上 進入夢鄉
Sleep with others again
再相伴於他人入夢
As you reign from your tower
當你立於高塔 俯視而下
And your throne’s a single bed
單人床便是你的王座
But you’ll never know what you mean to me
你從未知道自己對我的意義
So I’m gonna do you proud instead
所以我將對你傾盡全心
Tread, tread gently
放輕步伐
Cos you'll be bound to cry
因為你定會因此哭泣
So stay in your corner and I’ll stay here in mine
所以 你我待在各自歸屬之地吧
Just go, be slow and you’ll figure it out
放緩步伐 你終會明白
Head low you’ll know how to turn it around
低調行事 方能知曉如何扭轉局勢
You’ll sleep with lovers
你會同戀人同眠

Sleep with others again

Just go, be slow and you’ll figure it out
放緩步伐 你終會明白
Head low you’ll know how to turn it around
低調行事 方能知曉如何扭轉局勢
You’ll sleep with lovers
你會同戀人同眠
Sleep on sofas

And I wear you on my sleeve
我也將不遺餘力 向你表明愛意
And you were reading to me like you always did
