A, before has been said that his album in addition to 5 old songs, there are 7 new songs, including the piano song has been, the results of listening to today to realize that this song
this song
sub is the greatest works of the MV in front of a small section of the piano song "intro ", a total of **** 30 seconds or so.
This tribute to the "can not say the secret" through the terrain of the piano music, in the MV inside the role is to let Jay travel back to 20 years,
And now as the whole album intro, but instead of making me feel, the whole album is as if traveling back in time to the past old times. Overall, the ****11 tracks on this
album express the core idea of remaining stuck in Jay's 30-ish years.?
Yes, music needs to convey ideas.
For so many years, everyone has been expecting one thing, and that is that after Jay has passed 35 or 40, he will be able to deepen his thinking about society and life, like Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng, or even like
Xu Wei and Wang Feng, and reflect more of his life's feelings and dramatic tension in his works. However, when fans began to list Jay's "thought-provoking" or "storytelling" works, they found that they came from the early to mid-periods,
such as Back", "Grandma", "Listen to Mom", "The Last Battle", "The Death of Stopping the War
", which reflect family love, and "Terraces", which is an environmental satire.
Two, and even life in the right to see the winners and losers of the "three years, two classes", healing "rice incense", the world
not the end of the day, and so on, these songs are very thought-provoking, and you can clearly feel from it that the song is to be expressed in the not-so-absorbing deep theme.
As for the storytelling works are even more, the classic dark trilogy "in the name of the father", "Nocturne", "the seventh chapter of the night", "half-animal
man", "Milan's blacksmith", "Castle William", "double knife", "chaotic dance spring and autumn", "the garden party", "on all sides of the Chu song", "sailors are afraid of
water", "Shoes oversized", and even "chivalry", "Prague Square". and so on.
Strong themes, coupled with rich arrangements
and literary lyrics, turn a song into a flowing novel.
There are also propositional essays that describe a specific intention, such as "Ninja," "Nunchucks," "Shanghai 1943," "Tea Brewed by Grandpa," "General," "Black Sweater," "Celadon Porcelain," "Turkish Ice Cream," "Bedtime Stories," "Mermaids" and so on.
It's as if the essay teacher throws out a theme, such as weapons, tea, chess, Sweaters, porcelain, ice cream, fairy tales, etc., and ask you to
expand your imagination to write an essay, Jay has centered his skyrocketing creativity around this imagery.
Of course when it comes down to it, all I'm talking about is the subject matter, and the examples are just off the top of my head and not well thought out.?
Three, the ancients said, the article is written for the time, songs and poems are written for the event. The song is also a poem, is also an article, is the author of the expression of life feelings, is the carrier of ideas, people listen to the song to listen to the melody, but the direct feeling comes from the subject matter, that is, the lyrics to express the content.
Jay Chou's fans are getting older, and the older they get, the more they subconsciously judge the thoughts reflected in a work. What do most people know about
musicality? They don't, and it's a matter of opinion whether a song is good or not, but they can read and have a basic sense of taste. That's why
so many watered-down songs have lyrics that are so shallow and uneducated that you don't want to admit that you even listen to them, even if you think the melody is good.
The songs themselves are certainly good, but most people's attention is undoubtedly focused more on the subject matter and the specifics of what they're saying, which suggests that the specifics of what the
songs are saying are very important. Sorting this out allows us to identify the main problem that exists
with Jay's subject matter in the later years. Most of these songs have been detached from Jay's own emotional life, and have a tendency to "give him new words to express his sorrows". Of course, you don't have to have your own personal experience to create art, but you do have to bring the listener into the situation and the characters you create. That's why older
people often say that performers need a sense of mystery, just like an actor, if he throws his head in the air frequently and shows a lived-in side, then watching him mold
the characters he creates will take people out of the scene.
Fourth, of course, there are some late works are more successful, such as "Listen to Your Father", tells the story of an ordinary conditions of the boy is not accepted by the female parents
and then the inner pain of the story of the struggle, such a story is a lot of reality; for example, the "Big Dumb Clock", about couples quarrelling and quarrels
hand, both face and heart can not let go of the other side, and the other side is the same. The story is about a couple who had a fight and couldn't let go of their face and each other's ambivalence, and I believe that those who had a fight with each other would be able to relate to it.
Then again, this album's "Waiting for you to get out of class", many people say that this subject matter is too superficial, 40 years old, but also when they are students? In fact, this is
Jay Chou's late most grounded creation, do not believe you can ask those who did not get into the university college students, they because of a college entrance examination, and
their favorite person is forever separated in two different worlds, that sentence "three years of high school, why, why I do not do well in the study,
Not get into the same university as you" is not they The first is that the first is the one of the most important thing that you have to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what is going on in your life.
Five, "Pink Ocean" "Reflection" pop-ups scheduled. I'm talking about pop-ups like "Confession Balloon," with shallow, catchy lyrics that are especially likely to be widely
used in short videos and other platforms, but not necessarily of the highest caliber.
I preferred "Reflection," which fits the album cover, except that as soon as the song's intro came out, I got the feeling that it was the same as Jay's predecessor, "Sign Language,"
and a little bit of the same predecessor, "Mermaid," which is of course Jay's usual way of paying homage to himself
as "Huo Yuanjia" did to "Blue Storm," and so on.
But unlike in the past, when many people didn't even know about it without saying so, because it was totally like a new song, "Reflection" was immediately obvious to many people
on hearing it, but the good thing is that it's totally a new song when you get to the title track, but it always gives a sense of déjà vu.
Sixth, some people worry that this is not Jay's last album, I do not think there is no need to worry more, Jay in this life is impossible to give up the identity of the music
people, although this album from the last album after six years, which includes both countless expectations, countless touting,
also includes countless skepticism, even countless abuse, but put in the context of an artist's life, it's just a brief moment.
Not to mention that he has long been young and famous, the art career of the late success of the artist also abounds, Jay's artistic career there are many kinds of can
Can, such as we return to the ordinary heart, such as Jay himself returned to the ordinary heart, he may also write a greater work.
