這個是屬於信子版本的。呵～ 我在YouTube這樣寫。 有些故事很虐心，有些故事甚至以“蝕骨”來形容。而這首歌，是為 Coursera Modern Music Specialization 的Capstone Project 而寫的。 因為，這首歌和我在網路看的一部小說有少許的相同的感觸與感想。有時候，一個故事，難於如何結束，哪裏是結束點。如果故事繼續，或會有另一個高峰（那可能是另一個故事），要不就成了雞肋。我想遠了。 朋友告訴我，那天，她們在車上一起聽了這首歌，覺得很莫明其妙，到底歌詞是什麼意思。當時，剛從緬甸回來，還剩下大概兩、三天就得交功課。那時候，有好幾個點子的，後來就只專注於"unfriend"這個點子。這個，不就是小時候，被朋友欺負後，“不要跟你好了”的意思嘍。也是臉書的那個"unfriend"鍵一樣。點了後，請在我的世界裡消失。 噢，對了，那部小說讓我想起這首歌是辛夷塢的《我在回憶裡等你》。

Finally, I completed Coursera-Berklee's Modern Musician's specialization courses in March this year! This used to be my ultimate goal of signing up Coursera last year, but now it's my first goal in Coursera. I am having the next capstone project to start next month started already for my next specialization courses. :) I am not sure if I want to put this as lengthy as it could be or... But, it's my song writing journey... Anyway... Milestone 1 : Create a New Original Song Your song must have at least three sections and include a verse, chorus, and bridge or other form element.

This is my second "complete" song in English. Anyway, this is my 5th week and 6th week assignment. I have completed my course! Guess I will get my overall result in December. :) It was actually 3.8 km, based on some what true story. And this is the 3rd song about it. Anyway, I found it weird to sing 3.8 km. Though 1.8 miles sound weird as well, but not sound as as so mathematically as 3.8 km gua . ^^ 1.8 miles is not exactly same as 3.8 km too, just an "estimated" value. Week 5 was on creating a new song, considering the idea "propagation", rhyme scheme, rhythm of the song, and the melody, full flow of a song writing! Frankly, I didn't actually do the adjusting the note for stability/instability. In fact, my original solution to get the song done on last Wednesday night (within the few hours) by using one of my other song's melody to fit into the lyrics. Anyway, finally the melody flows into my mind right after I played guitar on the same chord...

Just completed my 4th assignment on a song writing course on Wednesday night. I was supposed to use my assignment 3 submission, to identify the stressed and unstressed syllables in this assignment. However, I got quite low mark for that, and after reading the comments from peer, I think I really didn't do well. So, I decided to redo a new lyrics. Assignment 3 was to have a stable verse and an unstable chorus by using rhyme scheme. So, started from scratch again. Started with "Hot sun in the afternoon, I'll know I'll see you soon." That was for the rhyme purpose for stable verse. :D Was thinking of, shall I make it a love song? Nah... too lame. Then, think of my a few bad moments of the week, I decided to turn the lyrics into this. OK, I didn't follow the suggested tools, like boxes of progression and stuffs to construct this but, alas, time was ticking and I have to complete this before deadline. Here's the lyrics. Verse : Chorus : The chor...
