Jay Chou debuted on November 6th, 2, and released albums including Jay, Fan Texi, Octave Space, Ye Huimei, Qilixiang and Drift, which was released in Japan on August 3th this year. The album sales increased from 6, copies ("Jay") to 3 million copies ("Qilixiang"); However, the number of issues of Drift has not been counted. This shows that his music has been improving, at least it has been recognized by more and more listeners.
I like his tune style, which always gives people an unexpected feeling. His songs cover all levels of society, and he is especially good at singing songs about love. His "You Can Hear" sings the dependence between lovers; I can't open my mouth, which is almost sung in tears, sings my regret and despair; "Trajectory" sings his complicated feelings of trying to forget her lover after she left ... Jay Chou's lyrics and composition are impeccably beautiful and empathetic.
Jay's songs describe domestic violence, such as Dad, I'm home; There are descriptions of children who only care about making money and ignore the feelings of their old mothers, such as "Grandma"; There are also people who miss the disappearing depression era, such as "Shanghai 1943" ... If you listen to these, it is impossible not to sing with him. The war has brought great disasters and sufferings to the people. Jay wisely received this feeling in his songs, so he had The Last Battle and The Wounds of Stopping the War. What if the initiator of the war listened to this thought-provoking song? Will you be ashamed of your decision and die? In any case, his songs express a yearning and longing for peace and bring a glimmer of hope to people living in the pain of war. In this incomplete world, what can bring spiritual comfort to people more than music?
It has become a social chronic disease for teenagers to take soft drugs. Jay used heavy metal instruments to create a strong auditory impact, and with his own "roaring" singing style, he interpreted "refusing drugs" incisively and vividly. If these teenagers are Jay's Fans and quit drugs because of his Coward, then we can even say that Jay is a Guanyin bodhisattva on earth!
When we are writing papers, giving reports or running around for the destruction of the environment, don't think that Jay Chou has done nothing. Terrace is a song that accuses people of unscrupulously plundering the environment from a novel perspective. It may be more shocking than those boring papers and reports. We believe in the power of music, so March of the Volunteers has built the flesh and blood into an indestructible Great Wall of steel!
Jay Chou can be interpreted infinitely. Naturally, for other voices, we should treat them with an open mind. When you listen to Jay Chou not only with your ears, but also with your mind and heart, you will find that Jay Chou is a well-deserved musician and thinker of this era.
