I Tried
Savoy Brown爀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Travelin' on the road, each and every day
In each hotel I stay, got a suitcase for a home
Guitar in my hand, travelin' with the band
Flyin' everyday, travelin' across the land
So tired, so tired
In each hotel I stay, It's getting harder everytime
Suitcase in my hand, killing one night stands
Travelin' across the land
So tired, so tired
Travelin' on the road, each and every day
In each hotel I stay, got a suitcase for a home
Got a suitcase in my hand, killing one night stands
Flyin' everyday, travelin' across the land
So tired, so tired, so tired, so tired
The lyrics to Savoy Brown's song "I Tried" convey the exhaustion and loneliness that often accompanies life on the road as a musician. The repetition of the phrase "Travelin' on the road, each and every day" emphasizes the perpetual nature of their journey, and the use of "suitcase for a home" highlights the transitory nature of their existence. The singer is always moving forward, but with each passing day, the toll of this lifestyle weighs heavier on him.
The chorus "So tired, so tired" is a simple yet powerful expression of the weariness and fatigue that have settled into his bones. His life has become a blur of hotel rooms, one-night stands, and endless travel. Even as he tries to hold onto the memory of his loved one, the physical and emotional distance between them grows. The guitar in his hand is his only constant companion, yet even that cannot fully ease the ache in his heart.
Overall, "I Tried" is a poignant tribute to the sacrifices that musicians make in order to pursue their passion. It's a reminder that glamour and fame often come with a heavy price tag, and that the price of success can be measured in more than just dollars and cents.

睇到啲美食真係口水流,講到長住郵輪,好現實一定要有足夠金錢,如果有足夠金錢老威真係唔會悶㗎喎。 16年為咗突然間瘋狂想坐郵輪,寧可提早一年辭職唔做,損失咗之後嘅醫療,我都唔理得咁多囉,玩咗先講,個人興趣喜歡喺香港開出開入嘅郵輪,我坐咗三次。而太喜歡船,又去長江三峽坐小郵輪,由武漢去重慶。 上天下海高鐵我都嘗試過啦,報復59歲之前未曾旅行過,盡興盡玩,唔理將來點樣啦,見步行步活在當下。撞啱世界性新冠肺炎唯有乖乖留喺香港,連鄉下都返唔到去🙄😁

英雄所見略同,退休之後人生會有兩個階段,一個是黃金時段,行得走得食得。另一個是夕陽無限好,家人之中有一個需要照顧,咁就邊度都唔去得。不論年紀,只計健康。
