嚐歌
Ancient Chinese cinematic + subtle funk groove, faster tempo, elegant empress with hidden power. Guzheng rhythmic plucks, xiao short phrases, light chimes. Underlayer: muted funk guitar, syncopated groove, soft bass pulse. Tempo around 95 BPM, flowing and controlled. Verse rhythmic and slightly off-center. Chorus tight, stable, groove locks in (return to center). Female vocal slightly faster phrasing, soft but precise, calm and controlled. Mood: elegant, alert, hidden tension, quiet authority.

Lyrics
——————————————————
一聲未起 心已動
無弦亦有風
問此曲 從何來
落在胸中
一點宮聲入夜微
似水不語自成詩
一二三轉心猶遠
四方聲影各自馳
我立中庭觀其變
五意未定已生枝
六律浮沉難為準
七情暗湧誰得知
若偏若離若迷途
音隨意走難自持
忽聞心鼓輕輕喚
歸來一瞬萬聲止
回到五 中央定
萬音歸位始分明
嚐此歌 嚐此心
一念不動見真音
回到五 不問形
偏亦為歌轉為靈
散復聚 靜復鳴
此中滋味最分明
八方風起亂如棋
九轉聲中見高低
或高或低皆成趣
卻失本味最堪疑
古人云 音有骨
今我試探其中機
若無初心為其主
萬曲終成過眼雲
音海浮沉誰為舵
情至深處最難持
忽憶初聲初見處
一念回中萬象息
回到五 中央定
萬音歸位始分明
嚐此歌 嚐此心
一念不動見真音
回到五 不問形
偏亦為歌轉為靈
散復聚 靜復鳴
此中滋味最分明
偏也好 正也好
音隨心走皆為道
失亦歌 得亦歌
浮生一曲自逍遙
但問此聲誰在聽
但問此意誰能明
忽然萬籟俱寂處
只餘一點是真靈
回到五 心為庭
萬象歸來一念清
嚐此歌 嚐此命
聲聲皆我本來音
回到五 無所名
有無之間最分明
起亦歌 落亦聲
一曲既終萬古行
歌未盡 人已遠
餘音仍在指尖停
若問何為嚐歌意
不過一心歸於靜

Before a sound begins, the heart has stirred
Though no strings play, there is still a wind
I ask this song, where does it come from
It settles quietly within my chest
A single tone drifts softly into night
Like water, silent, yet becoming verse
One, two, three turns—the heart still far away
In every direction, echoes scatter free
I stand within, watching it transform
Five intentions—yet none fully formed
Six tones rise and fall, beyond all measure
Seven emotions surge—who can truly know?
Half astray, half lost, half wandering
The sound follows will, beyond control
Then softly, a heartbeat calls me home
In that instant, all sounds fall still
Return to five—the center holds
All tones align, becoming clear
Taste this song, taste this heart
When thought is still, the true sound appears
Return to five—beyond all form
Even the off-note turns to spirit
Scattered, gathered—silent, then ringing
This flavor alone is crystal clear
Winds rise from every side, chaotic as chess
Through nine turns, high and low revealed
High or low, each has its charm
Yet losing essence is where doubt begins
The ancients said: sound has its bones
Today I seek the hidden key
Without the original heart as guide
All songs fade like passing clouds
Adrift in sound—who holds the helm?
At deepest feeling, control is hardest
I recall that first, original note
One thought returns—all fades to stillness
Return to five—the center holds
All tones align, becoming clear
Taste this song, taste this heart
When thought is still, the true sound appears
Return to five—beyond all form
Even the off-note turns to spirit
Scattered, gathered—silent, then ringing
This flavor alone is crystal clear
Right or wrong, it matters not
Sound follows heart—that is the way
Loss is song, gain is song
A fleeting life, one carefree melody
But who is there to hear this sound?
And who can truly understand?
When suddenly all falls into silence
Only one spark remains—the true spirit
Return to five—the heart the court
All things return, one thought made pure
Taste this song, taste this life
Every note is my original voice
Return to five—beyond all names
Between what is and isn’t, clarity lives
Rise is song, fall is sound
One song ends, yet echoes through time
The song not finished, yet I am gone
Its echo lingers at my fingertips
If you ask what it means to taste this song
It is nothing more than returning to stillness
