美好的一年從這一天開始
老地雷 1/12/26
一年轉眼即逝，一點也不誇張，還清楚地記得去年這個時候在幹什麽的，一眨眼怎麽就是一年就過去了呢？
以前一直記記月記，季度記，但是自從用了iPhone的journal就習慣天天記日記了，挺好，一二句話再加上一二張圖片（如果需要的話）抓重點記錄一下，家事國家事世界事都在記錄的範疇，過一年翻翻，這一年都幹了些啥還真能回味一陣子的。
我很忙，忙什麽？忙學習新東西，這也是性格使然。學習的過程很快樂，時間過得也非常快，生活覺得也特別充實。這一年裏，菜沒學會做幾個，但學會了咖啡latte 拉花；鋼琴仍然繼續學習，但又添加了好幾樣樂器，樂此不疲；原創歌曲有SUNO的加持輸出量更多更穩定了，關鍵是編曲整伴奏省了一大筆錢和一大把時間，寫出來的歌據家人和親友反應是越來越好聽了。很令我吃驚的是居然有一首以前寫給我家第一隻狗狗的歌《Snoopy》收獲了39萬的播放量，這一定是短視頻平台用了這歌，不然如果在Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube music獲得這樣多的播放量就真得能我賺點royalties. 哈哈，不管了，從來不想靠寫歌賺錢，但是有總比鴨蛋要好。這一年裏，不僅僅做完一百多首流行歌的鋼琴彈唱教學視頻還開始玩起了直播，有意思～
下麵這首【A Perfect Day】是去年十月的某一天在後院看書忘呆時冒出來的靈感，寫這首歌的前一天晚上，跟家裏意見不合鬧了點小別扭，於是第二天坐在那裏喝著咖啡吹吹口風琴又看看某名人的傳記突然來靈感了，之後在鋼琴上彈出小樣，感覺不錯，在Suno的加持下完成了，本來應該在25年發的，但是一直拖到今年才發，新年就從這新的perfect day開始吧，祝朋友們新年平安健康快樂至永遠！
A Perfect Day
老地雷原創 （寫於2025年10月7日）
Verse 1
Sun is shining, sky so blue,
Backyard calm with a golden hue.
I swept the leaves that gently fell,
The air so soft, it suits me well.
A cappuccino, biscoff treat,
Glasses on, I take my seat.
Raise my legs, let my thoughts just stay,
I wish this peace would never fade away.
Chorus
This is a perfect day,
The one I truly crave.
This is a perfect day,
The life I love to save.
This is a perfect day,
The one that means the most.
This is a perfect day,
It makes me happy and whole.
Verse 2
Some love crowds and city lights,
I love calm and quiet nights.
In my world so small, yet free,
Everything’s just meant to be.
Here I find both peace and grace,
Every corner a gentle space.
Nothing rushes, nothing wrong,
Just my heart and a simple song.
Chorus
This is a perfect day,
The one I truly crave.
This is a perfect day,
The life I love to save.
This is a perfect day,
The one that means the most.
This is a perfect day,
It makes me happy and whole.
Bridge
When am I the happiest?
When my mind’s at rest like this.
Where do I feel most at ease?
Right here — in my world of peace.
Final Chorus
This is a perfect day,
The one I’ve dreamed about.
This is a perfect day,
No fear, no rush, no doubt.
This is a perfect day,
My heart’s serene and clear.
This is a perfect day —
I’m grateful I am here.
