Song Writing - 日常

Inspiration:

The inspiration of this song is from the memories of my first two year's university life. The first two years of my university life is very relaxing that we don't have to worry about many things. All we needed to care about were playing and studying(which I have great interest in it so I didn't feel any pressure except deadlines :) ) It is so different from now as we needs to care about and worried about a lot of things. Pressures and stress are always the first two things coming into my mind when I wake up.

Concept:

I want to record the lazy, comfortable but pure and enjoyable moment I ever had down and let it be the first song of my album.

(^The draft of the lyrics. )

The Lyrics:

《 日常 》

我打開眼簾

看著陽光 照射 窗框倒映

我舉起左臂 拿來電話看日期

濕立立的風 吹起空氣中倦怠味

今天是假期 我決定

放慢 腳步

退回 被窩中

我打開眼簾

看著陽光 照射 窗框倒映

我舉起左臂 拿來電話看日期

今天是假期 我決定

放慢 腳步

退回 被窩中

This song is wrote in Cantonese. The lyrics is not difficult. It mainly talks about the moody and lazy situation of waking up in an ordinary afternoon. Lying on the bed, watching the sunshine shines from the window and breathing the moist and the laziness in the air.

Details:

The slow pace of the song help create the lazy mood. And the reverb of the main vocal represent the scenario of just woke up.

In the choice of instrument, I simply chose guitar and bass to keep it simple. And I added the sound of high pitch percussion to introduce the main rhythm.
