從Olivia Rodrigo的Drivers License到Suno的Empty Roads

今天偶然聽到一首歌，竟然讓我忍不住一聽再聽，甚至引發了我深深的共鳴。這首歌的歌詞描寫得如此真實動人，每一句都充滿了情感，讓我仿佛能夠感受到那位歌手的心碎與失落，把一段失戀的故事描繪得栩栩如生。

尤其是歌詞中的細節，駕駛經過那熟悉的街道，看見紅燈和停車標誌，腦海中浮現的全是曾經的回憶。這種細膩的描寫，把普通的生活場景與深刻的情感如此完美地和音樂融合在一起。

令人驚訝的是，當我深入了解這首歌的時候，才發現它早在2021年就已經爆紅了。然而，我居然到今天（2024年7月）才發現這樣一首好歌。這種感覺就像是一個珍貴的寶藏一直隱藏在眼前，但卻直到現在才被我發現。

這也讓我想到，好的音樂無論何時聽到都不會過時。即使錯過了它爆紅的那一刻，但在我聽到的這一瞬間，依然能夠帶來深深的感動。音樂的魅力就在於此，它能夠跨越時間和空間，直擊人心。

我們來看一下原文歌詞：

I got my driver's license last week
Just like we always talked about
'Cause you were so excited for me
To finally drive up to your house
But today, I drove through the suburbs
Crying 'cause you weren't around

And you're probably with that blonde girl
Who always made me doubtShe's so much older than meShe's everything I'm insecure about
Yeah, today, I drove through the suburbs

'Cause how could I ever love someone else?

And I know we weren't perfect, but I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street

And all my friends are tired
Of hearing how much I miss you, but
I kinda feel sorry for them
'Cause they'll never know you the way that I do

Yeah, today, I drove through the suburbs
And pictured I was driving home to you

And I know we weren't perfect, but I've never felt this way for no one, oh
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
I guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street

Red lights, stop signs
I still see your face in the white cars, front yards
Can't drive past the places we used to go to
'Cause I still fuckin' love you, babe

Sidewalks
We crossed
I still hear your voice in the traffic, we're laughing
Over all the noise
God, I'm so blue, know we're through
But I still fuckin' love you, babe

I know we weren't perfect, but I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
Yeah, you said forever, now I drive alone past your street

這首歌的鋪陳真的是讓人不得不讚嘆。它的層次感非常鮮明，節奏穩定而有力，前面就像一台汽車的引擎穩穩地轟鳴著，主歌和段落間的部分如同引擎慢慢加速，逐漸帶動整首歌的情感。

而當進入副歌的時候，情感瞬間達到高潮，整個氣氛炸裂開來。

特別是那段副歌，"Red lights, stop signs, I still see your face in the white cars... Sidewalks, We crossed, I still hear your voice in the traffic..."，每次聽到這裡，我都感覺心中有一股強烈的情感被激發出來。

這些平凡的景象，通過歌者的描述，變得如此具有畫面感和代入感，讓人無法自拔。這種情感上的共鳴，是這首歌最為動人的地方。

可惜的是，這段副歌在整首歌中只有一次出現。每次聽到這裡，我都希望能多聽幾次，似乎每重複一次，心中的情感都能得到進一步的釋放和共鳴。或許正是因為這種稍縱即逝的感覺，讓人更加珍惜這段副歌所帶來的震撼和感動。

這首歌的安排無疑是非常巧妙的，副歌的唯一性反而增強了它的力量，讓人對這段旋律和歌詞更加印象深刻。如果我願意這樣想，也許讓我體會到音樂創作者的其中一個道理：有時候，少即是多，精煉的表達反而能帶來更強烈的情感衝擊。

總的來說，這首歌從鋪陳到情感的釋放，都展現了創作者非凡的音樂才華和對情感的細膩把握。每一段旋律，每一句歌詞，都像是在講述一個真實的故事，讓人不由自主地被吸引，深深沉浸其中。這種經典之作，無論過了多少年，都依然會在聽者心中留下深刻的印記。

於是，我打開Suno（為了這首歌我第一次註冊Suno），下了指令：

For a song about lost love, the genre should be like Olivia Rodrigo’s Drivers License. The soundtrack should be layered. The chorus should pause first and then create a big swell and chorus feeling.

一首歌就這麼誕生了：

還有第二個版本（你們比較喜歡哪一個版本？）

Empty Roads
詞曲：Suno AI

[Verse]
Days are long nights are colder
Thoughts of you make my heart bolder
Lost in time lost in memories
Time won't heal these wounds

[Verse 2]
Saw your face in the rearview
Echoes of what we once knew
Past the places that we visited
Love turned into ghost

[Chorus]
Can't breathe now
This feeling's loud
Empty roads
No turning back
Lights fade
Hope breaks
Empty roads
Where are you now

[Verse 3]
Empty spaces where you used to be
Songs we sang haunt my dreams
Shattered trust broken pieces
Heartache never ends

[Bridge]
Waking up to nothing new
Without you days turn blue
Lost and found and lost again
Can't erase our story

[Chorus]
Can't breathe now
This feeling's loud
Empty roads
No turning back
Lights fade
Hope breaks
Empty roads
Where are you now

我最喜歡歌詞裡

Lights fade

Hope breaks

Empty roads

Where are you now

搭配第一個版本，整個有抓到原曲Red lights, stop signs, Sidewalks, We crossed的意境和格式。

第二個版本雖然歌詞一樣，但vocal的唱法斷句怪怪的。比較驚艷的是有「oh-oh-oh」的哼歌，跟原曲很像，然後副歌的吶喊比第一個版本強烈，然後是用慢慢fade out唱完，這也很不錯。

仿佛是一扇通往心靈深處的門，讓人無法抗拒地反复回味。或許這就是音樂的魔力，總能在不經意間打動人心，帶來無限的共鳴與感動。

音樂的力量，不僅能夠表達深刻的情感，也能引發聽者的共鳴。無論是歌詞的鋪陳還是旋律的編排，這樣的音樂仿佛是一扇通往心靈深處的門，讓人無法抗拒地反覆回味。

值得一提的是，AI創作音樂的能力真是令人驚豔。不僅能夠快速生成高品質的詞曲，還能捕捉到情感的細膩之處。它能夠帶來無限的創意和可能性。期待未來能有更多這樣的驚喜，挖掘人類情感細膩和澎湃又日常又刻骨銘心的一面。
