歌詞挑戰song calligraphy challange是個利用英文書寫體撰寫歌詞的系列創作。每首歌擷取的段落、順序以及完整度都不太一樣,全都是murmur很喜歡的英文流行歌曲!藉由手作介紹給大家。
挑戰第二次由英國歌手紅髮愛德”photograph"接手。很多歌曲講述愛情的美好,photograph與他們不同讓人印想深刻。
MV時間軸其實很簡單,由小時候還在搖籃的艾德開始、學走路、彈吉他、開演唱會、一直到功成名究人人傳唱的紅髮歌手。調性有點像五月天的「乾杯」,但mur挺喜歡背景音樂中的笑聲與對話,尤其是最後一句:You are on top of the mountain.

Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes But it's the only thing that I know When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes It is the only thing makes us feel alive
We keep this love in a photograph We made these memories for ourselves Where our eyes are never closing Hearts are never broken And time's forever frozen still
So you can keep me Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home
Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul And it's the only thing that I know, know I swear it will get easier Remember that with every piece of you Hm, and it's the only thing we take with us when we die
Hm, we keep this love in this photograph We made these memories for ourselves Where our eyes are never closing Hearts were never broken And time's forever frozen still
So you can keep me Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet You won't ever be alone
And if you hurt me That's okay baby, only words bleed Inside these pages you just hold me And I won’t ever let you go Wait for me to come home Wait for me to come home Wait for me to come home Wait for me to come home
Oh, you can fit me Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen Next to your heartbeat where I should be Keep it deep within your soul
And if you hurt me Well, that's okay baby, only words bleed Inside these pages you just hold me And I won’t ever let you go
When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me Under the lamppost back on Sixth street Hearing you whisper through the phone "Wait for me to come home"

再見。再次相見或再也不見。
歌詞很溫柔地唱出那離別的惆悵。小時候學校教的總是「家人是最後的避風港」,mur卻覺得家人的愛有時卻最傷人,love really hurts sometimes。或許太了解彼此、或許不懂得去體諒,only words bleed。
當離開了家到了異鄉,對家的概念似乎又有另一層認知。家人提供的避風港固然功能健全、兼顧又易靠港,但那不是mur的,mur的家必須自己去尋找,去世界某一個角落扎根。跟家人的聯繫,或許只剩下那一張張泛黃的照片。wait for me to come home是那一個家呢?
工具:筆touch軟毛筆。
每首歌都有一兩個字或一兩句話為靈魂。
在mur心中相片(photograph) 和家(home)最重要。
全版圖,意思很夠的寫好寫滿,空白處稍微用紙膠帶裝飾。
創作過程縮時攝影。
