Yourself?

幻想

我们从来没见过面
但你是我那朝思暮想 的思念
若爱上一个人要放开一切
也许我们最好别遇见

来到了无人的海边 温习思念
幻想我给你的诺言 一遍又一遍
怎样能早些认识你 做你的肩膀
牵着你的手 陪你去流浪

我需要时间 在缘分之前
遇见的瞬间 感动漫天
我要在现实 横跨世界
需要集中 没有杂念
原谅我暂时转身 不再想念
能不能约好 在未来遇见

可是幻想终究还是幻想我 迷失了方向
人来人往潮落潮涨 你 到底在何方
可是幻想终究还是幻想 醒来会受伤
时间磁场里 的我们怎样 地久天长

我需要时间 在缘分之前
遇见的瞬间 感动漫天
我要在现实 横跨世界
需要集中 没有杂念
原谅我暂时转身 不再想念
能不能约好 在未来遇见

Well this is the second finished song I wrote, and I'm kind of proud of it. I don't exactly like the lyrics, but i think the music really fits the feeling that i want to convey.

I've been feeding quite a lot of songs into my brain recently, just enjoying how the notes play with each other. It's like a dance that never really ends. I've also been watching So You Think You Can Dance, and I love the choreography (except that i think there's wayy too much hiphop, even though the hiphop segments are always very fresh). But I haven't really been thinking, thinking about things.

There's been loads of work, and when it's time to take a break, it's late and I just go to bed. Or I play violin, which is coming along nicely. But music really can't be played in a vacuum. It has to be lived, and reflective of life. Music is the interplay of language and culture and life and mathematics. Just like how dance is the exploration of that physical space that we all inhabit.

People write things all the time. They write songs, choreograph dances, write letters, poems, stories. What I'm doing is nothing new. I'm not a good songwriter by any stretch of the imagination, what i want to do is just leave a note to myself, like a message in a bottle that we throw off a ship. So that someday, we might be reunited with whoever we were.

I want to write a love song next. But I need inspiration. Haha, I'm tempted to do a series of songs that make sense once you look back upon the whole thing. I don't know.
