The feet remember the way home.

Mandarin slow-folk direction · fingerpicked guitar, low fiddle and female alto

Seventeen steps, counted many times, still lead home in the dark. When the lamp suddenly works, the narrator pauses: brightness need not mean familiarity. The lyric separates darkness from not knowing how many steps remain, without turning an ordinary walk into a demand to conquer oneself.

The 64 BPM folk direction gives a close silvery female-alto idea fingerpicked guitar, low held fiddle, autoharp and very light brushes. Follow the opening and closing count of one, two, three, noticing how a soft sway supports a path already known by the feet.

Read the lyrics
[Intro] 一,二,三,慢一点。 [Verse 1] 楼道的灯早就坏了, 我摸着墙往上走。 十七级,我数过很多回, 闭着眼也不会错。 [Pre-Chorus] 黑不黑其实一样, 路是脚记住的。 [Chorus] 黑暗里数台阶, 数到家门口。 不用看见也到得了, 走过的自己认得。 [Verse 2] 有一回灯忽然亮了, 我反倒停了一下。 亮着的楼道很陌生, 台阶还是那十七级。 [Bridge] 怕的从来不是黑, 是不知道有几级。 [Final Chorus] 黑暗里数台阶, 数到家门口。 不用看见也到得了, 走过的自己认得。 [Outro] 一,二,三,到了。
