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的創作過程不容易。
雖然旋律很自然地就來了
但在歌詞中坦承失敗的部分
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
但我相信誠實面對能給上幫助」

文末小記
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?
