BPM127
旋律
歌曲有多麼清晰易記且符合明確音樂模式的旋律。通常,旋律分明的作品會擁有清晰易記的器樂或人聲主線。
原聲音質
此指標衡量一首歌曲在多大程度上依賴原聲樂器 (例如鋼琴、吉他、小提琴、鼓、薩克斯風),而非電子或數位合成音效
Valence
歌曲透過和聲與節奏所傳達的音樂積極性或情感基調。數值高通常對應快樂、興奮或愉悅感,數值低則與悲傷、憤怒或憂鬱相關。
節奏感
綜合了節拍穩定性、節奏型態與重拍強度等多重因素,以判定一首歌曲適合跳舞的程度。一首「節奏感強」的歌曲,通常具備穩定的速度、重複的音樂結構與明顯的強拍。
輕快
曲目的律動感可能受節奏快慢、音量起伏與聲譜密度所影響。較輕快的歌曲通常節奏強勁,編曲豐滿;反之,不太輕快的歌曲則可能編曲簡約、節奏較慢。
歌詞
[Intro]
Yeah
Ooh, ooh
Craig David
Hey-yeah, yeah, yeah
Check it
[Verse 1]
You know, I'm the kinda guy that does it 9 to 5
Workin' real hard, 'cause it's the way I live my life
Back home, just me and you, girl, all alone
With no one interruptin'
Switch off the phone
But I could be that other guy
Who comes home late night after night, then tells you lies
So, why you trippin' out on me, girl, all the time?
When every day, it's only you that's on my mind, oh
[Chorus]
Every time we take one step forward
You take two steps back
Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh
Girl, you really ought to think about it
'Cause there's really no doubt about it (What?)
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
Every time we take one step forward
You take two steps back
Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh
Girl, you really ought to think about it (Oh)
'Cause there's really no doubt about it (Oh-oh)
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
[Verse 2]
You know, you're the kinda girl that doesn't need to front
Keep it real, let me know just what you want
Sometimes, you just don't know when to stop
You worry so much over nothing
You're just losing what you've got
Now, can't you see there's no other girl?
I think you're the most beautiful woman in this world, yeah
But you say I don't appreciate you
And I don't know how to treat you
We don't do the same things we did no more
[Chorus]
Every time we take one step forward
You take two steps back
Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh
Girl, you really ought to think about it
'Cause there's really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth (I've been there for you)
Every time we take one step forward (Baby)
You take two steps back (See, I've been always there for you)
Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh (You bring left back)
Girl, you really ought to think about it (Ooh)
'Cause there's really no doubt about it (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
[Bridge]
Remember, it wasn't that long ago
You told me that you love me so
Don't forget all the nights we shared
When you told me, girl, just how much you cared
Remember that you could be led astray
But that's the way players play
I'm not that kinda man
Why can't you understand, 'cause I
Want you to trust in me?
Baby girl, can't you see
You're only gonna mess things up?
You've done enough, why can't you stop this?
You're gonna lose what's good for you
And it's the last thing you wanna do
Won't find another like me, oh
[Chorus]
Every time we take one step forward (Every time)
You take two steps back (Oh)
Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh (You)
Girl, you really ought to think about it (Yeah)
'Cause there's really no doubt about it (No)
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
Every time we take one step forward
You take two steps back
Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh (Same old thing again)
Girl, you really ought to think about it (You)
'Cause there's really no doubt about it (Yeah)
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth (Know)
Every time we take one step forward (Every time)
You take two steps back (It never fails, baby)
Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh (Oh, oh-oh)
Girl, you really ought to think about it
'Cause there's really no doubt about it
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth (No)
[Outro]
Every time
Every evening, mm
