對於I Tried這首作品，Daniel 是這樣向Out Now描述的:
” I Tried was a tough song to write.
The melody came easy, but the self-admittance of failure in the lyrics
was something that took me quite a bit of soul searching and time.
I realize you can’t fix something you broke, but I believe honesty helps.”
「I Tried的創作過程很不容易。
雖然旋律很自然地就來了，但在歌詞中自我坦承失敗的部s分，
讓我做了不少靈魂探索、也花了不少時間。
我意識到你無法修補那些你曾經打破過的事物，
但我相信誠實以對能給上幫助。」
Daniel Seavey – I Tried
I Tried 中英歌詞翻譯
There's a house by the beach with a dog on the sheets 在那海邊有棟房子，床單上有隻小狗 Where the sunshine always shines 那裡的陽光總是很閃耀 There's a ring on your hand and I'm still in the band 你手上戴著戒指，而我雖然還在玩樂團 And I hold you every night 但我每晚都會擁你入睡 (hold 可以表牽手、也可表擁抱)
But I lied, I lied 但我說了謊、我說了謊 I wasted all your time 我浪費了你所有的時間 Made a promise that I could never keep 許下一個我永遠都守不住的承諾 But I swear to God I tried 但我對天發誓，我曾努力過
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
With my feet on the ground and my head in the clouds 身處現實、但想法卻天馬行空 I hope I find my way 多希望我能找到出路 Yeah, my heart's still yours, but my dream is the world 是呀，我的心還是屬於你，但我卻夢想著全世界 So for now I just can't stay 所以現在，我根本無法停留

When my limbs grow old and my heart goes cold 當我的手腳逐漸衰弱、當我的熱情不再有 (limbs 四肢，指手腳 當體力不再、熱血不再) And they lay me down to rest 當他們要我躺下休息 I won't toss or turn, I won't let it burn 我不會輾轉難眠、我不會生氣發火 (toss and turn 翻來覆去/不安/輾轉反側 let it burns 形容憤怒/怒氣燃燒的樣子) 'Cause I'll know I tried my best 因為我知道，我曾全心全意努力過 But I pray, I pray 但我會祈禱、我會祈禱 You'll come back to me one day 祈禱你有一天會回到我身邊 Gave up everything for my hopes and dreams 曾經為了我的理想和夢想、放棄了所有 Now I wish I would've stayed 現在我多希望我當時沒離開過
文末小記
這首歌的旋律也太好聽了吧!!
超級美，美到讓人想哭(☍﹏⁰)
本來以為寫下如此懊悔歌詞的會是一個中年單身或是失婚男子
但一查才發現作詞的Daniel今年才23歲!! (1999年生)
也太年輕了吧!!
小夥子到底是經歷了怎樣的感情，才寫出這樣的歌詞呢?
讓人太好奇了 (ﾟДﾟ;)
❤️ 要不要也聽聽?
