《孩子的披风》The Cape of a Child — demo by Ray Lin

孩子的披风 词曲：Ray Lin on 2/11/2021
每当他挂上披风
他的笑容 像能将世界拯救
他是英雄 困难再多
都不能让他退缩
将来是否
面对世界的残破
也灰心失落？
围牆的高耸
窒息的遮蔽天空
能否勇敢依旧？
奔跑吧 让披风肆意地飘动
他不用懂 四周凋零的自由
真挚地笑 为信念祈祷
请存留记忆存在过的美好
飞吧 飞翔 超越这地方 别陷入迷惘
每当你挂上披风
你的笑容 像能将世界拥有
迎著微风 还有好多
等待你冒险探索
将来能否
置身现实的殒落
不恐惧哀恸？
噤声的自由
面临压缩与嘲弄
盼望纯真依旧
奔跑吧 让披风肆意地飘动
你不用懂 四周凋零的自由
用力地笑 为梦想奔跑
承载著我们最卑微的祈祷
飞吧 飞翔 装上那翅膀 别失去方向
不论在何方 都不再惧怕

(English Translation Below) 这是今年有感而发的原创作品，原本是配另外一个旋律，后来因为创作笔记不见了，所以改用了这个旋律，对于这个意外的结果我是更加满意的。这首歌是和弦弹奏先出来，我记得是有一天在准备拍 cover 好友 Charis Chua 的歌曲影片时，在休息时弹奏出来的，到了今年二月才谱曲填词。
透过吉他和弦的弹法，我希望可以营造一种浮沉的感觉。所以也许你可以从吉他听到整首歌刻意地每一个和弦都从一个音下降到另一个音，除了副歌之后那段 “飞吧” 的部分，那裡的和弦希望能表达出上升载浮的情感。
关于这首歌的意义，虽然有很多话想说，但是就放在歌词裡的字裡行间吧。

It is an original song I wrote this year. It actually had a different melody but because I lost my note and I couldn’t remember what I wrote so this melody you hear now is the end result. And I am actually more satisfied with it. The chords progression came out first. I remember one day when I was preparing to film a cover video of my friend Charis Chua’s song, I played it randomly during a break and it sounded like a song already. So I wrote and finished this song in February of 2021.
I hope to create a feeling of drifting/floating in mid air through the way the chords were played. So maybe you can hear from the guitar that every chord deliberately drops from one note to another, except for the “fly” part after the chorus, where the chord hopes to express the emotion of rising and floating.
Regarding the meaning of this song, although there are many things I wish to say, but perhaps I should just leave it between the lines in the lyrics.

The Cape of a Child
written by Ray Lin
When he puts on the cape
He smiles as if he can save the day
He’s the hero
No matter how hard it gets
Nothing can turn him away
But when he realizes one day
This world’s brokenness
Will he fall in dismay?
When even the sky is suffocated
By the walls so coldly erected
Will he remain fearless?
Keep running
Let the cape catch the wind
He needs not understand
The freedom that’s slowly fading
Smile from the heart
And pray for what you believe in
Remember the beauty that once existed
Fly Fly away。 Don’t be bound by this place Don’t lose your way
When you put on the cape
You smile like the whole world is in your hand
Feeling the breeze
There’s still so many things
To be found by your discovery
But when you find yourself in
The fallout of reality
Could you not fear in despair?
You’ve been silenced
Oppressed, and ridiculed
Could you still breathe hope in the air?
Keep running
Let the cape catch the wind
You need not understand
The freedom that’s slowly fading
Smile with all your heart
And stand for what you believe in
Remember you carry our prayers within
Fly Fly away。 Put on your wings Don’t get lost in the wind
No matter where you are
Fear is far gone
