Passenger Seat

世上不一定每件事都需要目的，每一步都需要一個目的地
就像兜風一樣，沒有明確的目的地，卻是那過程最讓人著迷

坐在機車後座在路上奔馳
迎面而來的風，讓眼睛只能半開著
卻還足夠讓我欣賞路過的每一道風景
周圍的樹木、街燈、馬路看似在快速地往後退

你轉過頭對我說的話，聽不清
卻足以讓我的嘴角微微上揚
你那大一號的頭盔會不小心把我眼睛遮住
卻還是想要把它佔為己有

這段毫無目的地的兜風流浪
眼前的風景你永遠佔據了三分一
或許，這就是屬於後座的浪漫。

吳諾貝首支原創單曲《Passenger Seat》讓你光靠聽的就能感受到在路上奔馳的風。這首歌記錄著吳諾貝在台灣度過的第一個夏天，每一天坐在機車後座，無拘無束地穿梭在大大小小的巷子，映入眼簾的盡是一道又一道珍貴且無價的風景。

Hop on the scooter, we’re going on an unwritten adventure.

The wind is in my face, my eyes are half lidded, yet I see everything so clearly.
The trees, the street lights, the road all whizzes past me, yet I feel so grounded.

You turn around to tell me something but the wind snatches away your words. I smile anyway, adjusting the helmet that is just a little too big on my head, and lean in closer so I don’t miss what you say next.

Our directionless rides around Tainan will forever be etched in my mind, your strong back obscuring a third of my view. This - is the irresistible charm of your passenger seat.

Noel Ng’s debut single 《Passenger Seat》 is meant to be screamed out at the top of your lungs whilst on the backseat of a scooter bike. Written during her first summer in Taiwan, this acoustic-guitar-lead track sets out to capture the carefree spontaneity of youth as she adventures across the country.

[Verse]
“Where to go?”
you ask me
I smile a little shyly
“Do you want coffee or tea?”
“Do you feel like ice cream?”
“Or seeing the sea?”
Where are you going to take me?

[Pre-chorus]
I put on my helmet
It doesn’t really fit
You wiggle a little
To make room for me
You turn around and ask me if I’m ready

[Chorus]
And I am feeling so free
My hair streaming
The wind singing
And I am feeling so free
I’m laughing screaming dancing spirits flying
On your passenger seat

[Verse]
The green of the mountains
The blue of the sea
There’s something about your backseat
The smile on your lips
When you turn to look at me
I could stay here for eternity

[Pre-chorus]
I put on my helmet
It doesn’t really fit
You wiggle a little
To make room for me
You turn around and ask me if I’m ready

[Chorus]
And I am feeling so free
My hair streaming
The wind singing
And I am feeling so free
I’m laughing screaming dancing spirits flying
On your passenger seat
[Bridge]
You pulled the brakes so suddenly
No time to react
Inertia threw me off your backseat
You left me on the ground
With the dust in my face
Is this goodbye?

[Chorus]
And I am feeling so free
My hair streaming
The wind singing
And I am feeling so free
I’m laughing screaming dancing spirits flying
On your passenger seat

Me on your passenger seat
