Hold Me Still (Demo)

趁著连假下雨的时间，写了人生第一首英文歌《Hold Me Still》
不过我的英文普普，如果有文法错误请鞭小力一点
而且其实歌词有一半以上是ChatGPT的功劳XD

这首歌的缘起是因为之前在一个活动上接触到“蝴蝶拥抱法”
这个有点算是心理治疗的领域的东西
觉得其实我们不只是在身体上
而是在心理上也应该提醒自己
在日常生活中多多拥抱自己
大概就是以这样的初衷而写了这首歌

不确定是不是最近刚听完Bee Gees的〈Greatest Hits〉专辑
最早的Chords Progression和定升D调都很像《How Deep Is Your Love》这首歌
（不过后来因为个人的音域，把Key调到F major）
但就还是在Ending保留了How deep is you love…这段歌词

另外可能受到方大同最近离世的影响
我自己反思这首歌好像从节奏和选和弦的风格
也有点方大同《小小虫》的感觉
而结尾的那段If the world forgets my name…….
我早上以为是灵感，但后来发现：
其实这是方大同《那沙漠里的水》结尾用的手法

[Verse 1]
I wake up scrolling through the noise
A hundred lives, a thousand toys
They’re laughing loud, they shine so bright
And I forget my own small light
I paint a smile, I play along
But something feels a little wrong
I push the doubt and hide the ache
Like I’m not allowed to break

[Pre-Chorus]
But every shadow knows my name
And every crack still holds a flame

[Chorus]
So I hug me when I fall
Wrap my arms around it all
Through the fear, and through the fight
I’m the one who stays each night
I’ve been down, I’ve been cold
But I still own all my soul
If the world forgets my name
I’ll still love me - just the same

[Verse 2]
Some days I dance, some days I hide
Some nights I barely make it right
But every tear and every grin
They all belong beneath my skin
I’ve learned to sit with what I feel
To let the joy and sorrow heal
If I need to laugh, I let it through
When I hurt, I cry it too

[Bridge]
It’s not always clear, it’s not always clean
But life is more than just the in-between
I don’t have to rush, I don’t have to prove
Just have to stay and let me move

[Ending]
If the world forgets my name
I’ll still love me just the same
Is you love, how deep is your love?
Is you love, how deep is your love?
