[male vocal]
[Intro]
[Tape hiss fades in. A warm, leisurely 2-bar acoustic bass solo, followed by lush, cascading Emaj9 chords on electric piano. Drums enter: light, crisp snare brushes, deep kick drum locking with the bass. A lone trumpet plays a low, smoky melody in the background.]
[Verse 1]
[Walking bass continues. Rhodes piano plays staccato, syncopated chords. Dry, upfront, conversational vocals.]
橱窗闪烁 街道霓虹 雪白覆盖落寞
恋人走过 电车掠过 闭眼许愿孩童
商场响起了颂歌 你在旺角对我唱过
我还戴着你送的围巾 陪我做梦
[Pre-Chorus]
[Electric piano lets chords ring out longer. Gospel-style organ hums faintly. Brass section builds a soft, low swell.]
祝我节日快乐
广场飞过白鸽
[Chorus 1]
[Full beat kicks in. Drums switch from brushes to heavy, soft snare hits. Bass line becomes more melodic. Warm, tight BGVs harmonies enter.]
离开了我 你有没有 变得更快乐
活着为求快乐
却越是不快乐
乐园欢呼声中 笑过哭过疯过
留下什么
爱人为快乐
究竟何谓快乐
原来并非 谁紧握谁 就永远快乐
纷纷雪落飘起哪首歌
我轻轻跟着和
最伤怀是 我拥有时
竟从未相信自己 值得快乐
[Verse 2]
[Groove continues, but lighter. Piano plays jazzy licks between vocal phrases. Analog delay echoes at phrase ends.]
庆典广场 挤满祝贺 笑脸藏着空落
怕落单而狂欢 却因狂欢 更加落寞
如今你远在异国 是否学会独自生活
我又翻起 去年你来信 为我庆贺
[Chorus 2]
[Same energy as Chorus 1, but with more vocal ad-libs.]
祝我节日快乐
广场飞过白鸽
离开了我 你有没有 变得更快乐
活着为求快乐
却越是不快乐
乐园欢呼声中 笑过哭过疯过
留下什么
爱人为快乐
究竟何谓快乐
原来并非 谁紧握谁 就永远快乐
纷纷雪落飘起哪首歌
我轻轻跟着和
回忆循环演奏
[Bridge]
[Feel slows down slightly, more rubato. Rich, complex jazz chords. Brass plays a building, tense line.]
白云苍狗 衣袖空空
学不会放手 怎懂何为快乐
穿越烟火 朝着崭新的生活走去
总该拾回 独自面对未来的勇气
从疑问到遗憾 从头理解快乐
是在失去中 反复练习的课题
回忆当作 我们撰写的浪漫电影
梦境美在 只能暗室里限时放映
喧闹节日会过去
最恒常的快乐在于 不执迷
[Chorus 3 / Outro]
[Full Neo-Soul vibe. Drums play with ghost notes, gospel choir BGVs are loud and wide.]
(祝我节日快乐
广场飞过白鸽)
离开了我 你有没有 变得更快乐
活着为求快乐
却越是不快乐
乐园欢呼声中 笑过哭过疯过
留下什么
爱人为快乐
究竟何谓快乐
原来并非 谁紧握谁 就永远快乐
纷纷雪落飘起哪首歌
千万音符起落
白云苍狗 衣袖空空
总该要放手 才懂何为快乐
[Music begins to fade out. Trumpet solo returns, intertwining with the vocal.]
过去多好 未来多坏
最重要的 你得要相信
[Vocal becomes very soft and intimate, close to the mic again.]
你值得快乐
[Final chord: Emaj9(#11), shimmering with tremolo. Bass plays the final low root note. Tape hiss loops, then cuts abruptly.]
