Lyrics
总会有种“书到用时方恨少”的感觉。
现在想参加创作比赛时，
才发现
原来长大以后，
会变成“琴到用时方恨少”。
如果以前学琴时再认真一点，
现在的我，
也许就能毫不犹豫地报名了。
Back in school, whenever exams came around,
I always felt what people meant by:
“Too late to regret not studying harder.”
Now when I want to join a songwriting competition,
I suddenly realize
Growing up simply changed the sentence into:
“Too late to regret not learning piano better.”
If I had taken music lessons more seriously back then,
maybe the me today
would sign up without hesitation.
******** 歌词 / Lyrics ********
[Intro]
"Hi 你会不会弹钢琴！
我刚刚哼的旋律真的超好听！"
[Verse 1]
如果我会弹钢琴 我就能自己写旋律
不用半夜灵感来了 疯狂私讯朋友救命
如果我会弹钢琴 现在可能已经出专辑
为什么小时候只顾做梦 没认真练那音阶进行曲
别人坐在琴前像电影 灯光一打直接艺术品
我窝在棉被对手机唱歌 像深夜失控的神经病
可奇怪的是那些旋律 总会突然闯进我梦里
像有另一个世界的人 借我的嘴偷偷呼吸
[Pre-Chorus]
为什么 为什么 琴到用时方恨少
别人写歌 用弹的
我写歌，用哼的！
[Chorus]
我不会弹钢琴 不会弹钢琴
但是 我会哼旋律
我不会弹钢琴 不会弹钢琴
但是 我会唱情绪
啦啦啦啦 嘛嘛嘛嘛
灵感来了根本刹不住自己
别人用手写 Melody
我用嘴 Hard Carry！
[Verse 2]
别人按个和弦 整个气氛高级又华丽
我只能："等一下等一下，我哼给你听！"
登登登登 哒啦哒啦 我觉得自己像天才作曲机
结果朋友听完以后问：
"你刚刚是在唱歌 还是战斗机低空飞行？"
别人 DAW 一开就编曲
我录音档名字叫："最终版第二集"
副歌想到一半太心急
手机没电, 直接世界暂停
[Pre-Chorus 2]
为什么 为什么 他们总是说我天赋异饼
别人弹 Piano 很帅气
我对着手机录空气
但没关系
至少我还有…… 旋律！
[Bridge]
有人在公司偷偷写词
有人在地铁录下旋律
原来不完美的自己
也能拥有创作勇气
也许我的设备不高级
也许我哼的旋律会走音
但这个时代终于愿意
听见普通人的声音
以前写歌要会玩月器
现在连普通人也能写旋律
没有钢琴的自己
也能唱出感人的歌曲
[Final Chorus]
我不会弹钢琴 不会弹钢琴
但是 我会哼旋律
我不会弹钢琴 不会弹钢琴
但是 我会唱情绪
啦啦啦啦 嘛嘛嘛嘛
灵感来了根本刹不住自己
别人用手写 Melody
我用嘴 Hard Carry！
啦啦啦啦
原来普通人也能唱出好声音
以前写歌要会玩月器
现在连普通人也能写旋律
别人写歌 用弹的
我写歌，用哼的！
[Outro]
【手机录音结束前】
"Hi 我刚写了一首歌
要不要教我弹钢琴！！！"
[Intro]
“Hey… do you play piano?
‘Cause I just hummed the coolest melody!”
[Verse 1]
If I could play piano, I could write my songs alone
No more midnight panic texting friends to save my broken phone
If I could play piano, maybe I’d have dropped an album now
Why’d I spend my childhood dreaming, never learning scales somehow?
People at the keyboard look like scenes from movie screens
I’m under blankets singing voice notes like a maniac at 3
But somehow all these melodies keep crashing through my sleep
Like another world is borrowing my voice to softly breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
Why, why
When I need it most, I wish I learned those keys
Other people write songs with their hands
I write songs by humming melodies!
[Chorus]
I can’t play piano, can’t play piano
But I can hum a melody
I can’t play piano, can’t play piano
But I can sing my feelings free
La la la la, ma ma ma ma
When inspiration hits, I just can’t stop myself
Other people write their Melody
I Hard Carry with my mouth!
[Verse 2]
People play one chord and suddenly it feels expensive
I’m like “Wait wait wait, just let me hum the demo first!”
Da da da da, ba la ba la
I swear I sound like a genius machine
Then my friend goes:
“Wait… was that a song?
Or a fighter jet flying low at top speed?”
People open DAWs and start producing masterpieces
My recordings all look like:
“Final Version 2 Really Final This Time”
Sometimes I get too excited halfway through the hook
Then my battery dies
And my whole world just gets paused
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Why, why
Why they say I’ve got talent in my soul
Other people play piano looking cool
I just sing to my phone alone
But it’s okay
At least I still have… melodies!
[Bridge]
Some people write lyrics secretly at work
Some record melodies inside the train
Turns out imperfect people like us
Still deserve the right to create
Maybe my gear isn’t fancy enough
Maybe my humming goes out of key
But finally this generation
Wants to hear ordinary dreams
Back then songwriting needed fancy instruments
Now even normal people can write melodies
You don’t need a piano in your life
To sing a song that makes hearts feel something
[Final Chorus]
I can’t play piano, can’t play piano
But I can hum a melody
I can’t play piano, can’t play piano
But I can sing my feelings free
La la la la, ma ma ma ma
When inspiration hits, I just can’t stop myself
Other people write their Melody
I Hard Carry with my mouth!
La la la la
Turns out ordinary people can sing beautifully too
Back then songwriting needed instruments
Now everybody can write melodies
Other people write songs with their hands
I write songs by humming them!
[Outro]
“Hey…
I just wrote a whole new song…
Now who’s gonna teach me piano?”
