18年后的七夕, I finally read this love letter Jay

you hear 00: 0003: 50



this song, Jay is 18 years ago, wrote a love letter fans.


This article is a love letter I wrote to fans of [Jay Copywriting] 18 years later.


It took me more than ten hours to finish this article. This is the work I have analyzed the most so far, to express my respect for the final chapter of Zhou's love song. On this Chinese Valentine's Day in 2021, share it with you devoutly. I hope this music review of mine is worthy of the last episode of Zhou's Love Songs, and I draw a fairly satisfactory ending to the content of this chapter.


(article a bit long, you can slowly see the collection)



great Holy Spirit comment Zhou songs ultimate chapter

"you hear"


this song is telecommunications advertising "sensual lines to the last episode

unworthy sequel of outfitting The theme song of "Love" was included in the album " Ye Huimei " released by Jay Chou on July 31, 2003. In fact, this song shouldn’t have appeared on this album. It was originally replaced by "Happy Birthday to Me" or "Summer Wind" . I thought it was a pity, but now I look back again. Actually Is lucky.


God's special "Ye Huimei", " in the name of the father " , ​​ " Dongfeng break " z, ​​z, 121zz, ​​z, 121zz, ​​z, 121zz126 Other songs are ignored, such as " her eyelashes " , ​​, ​​" double knives " , ​​ "coward" , ​​"you get this song" zzzzzzzzz1, zzzzzzz1, z1, zzzzzzz1, z1, zzzz1, zz1.


In the boundless wilderness of time, there is no one step earlier or one late. This song appears here, everything is destined, looking back 18 years later, it is more than moving.



First, let’s talk about the lyrics. I tried to analyze the image of " stranded " , ​​and combine the lyrics with the mv story for everyone to analyze the story, but objectively speaking, the lyrics of this song are separated from the MV, and they are put together instead. It seems far-fetched, so I will talk separately.


The author of the lyrics Zeng Yuting is an ordinary employee of Alfa, and there seems to be no other me except this song "You Can Hear"We are familiar with works.


Who knows better than me

Your tenderness is like a feather

lie secretly in my arms

Only you can hear you


z3, you are only strange in my eyes. Only I can see your unique tenderness, which touches my heart just right. Your tenderness is my secret garden, only I can understand it.


I accidentally found a bug. This is a short paragraph of four sentences. The first three sentences are written from the perspective of a boy. It is a unilateral emotion. According to the logic of normal writing, The last sentence should be "Only I can hear" , ​​which means that only I can hear your gentle secret. In fact, looking at the lyrics of the whole song, it is the boys who are unilaterally and carefully depicting their own psychological state, and did not try to guess the girl's thoughts on him, so this sentence is a bit abrupt.


Let's continue to read the second lyrics.


Does anyone know

Your smile is like a hug

I want to hide your good

Only I can see this sentence of


. Your smile makes people sleepy like a pillow in the afternoon. I fantasize about breathing the air you have breathed. I want to taste even the smell of your sweat and the jam on the corners of your mouth. I will be jealous when I hear you karaoke with others. I will be stingy when I see you go out in beautiful clothes. Why should I share your beauty with others. These four sentences


continue to describe how boys feel about girls. We noticed that "Only I can see" is written here. This is normal logic. Anyone who has experienced unrequited love understands that this kind of mental state is actually a bit humble. The lover sees the beauty, and all the details of the girl will be enlarged and preferred by the boys. At this time, the boys do not have the confidence to assume, their own thoughts "Only you can hear" .


Therefore, the first paragraph of the sentence "only you can hear" , ​​there is only one explanation, exists for the classic Easter egg. This easter egg has already been known to most fans.


When Jay Lun sang the second main song, at about 2 minutes and 10 seconds (audio version), the phrase "only you can hear" was recorded and then reversed. Listening to this song in the early years, I thought this sentence was a masterpiece of Jay's incomprehensibility. Only you (fans) can hear


. In order to be a pun, "you" must be used here.


Just this sentence, let me be sure, this song is a love letter that Jay wrote to his fans 18 years ago.



standing on the roof and just talking to the wind

don’t want to be left and right

I hate the rainy sky

z0 Until I fell into your world, I didn't know that I couldn't escape the vulgarity. I have never liked rainy days. The humid city makes people feel dispirited, but that rainy night after drunk, you said that you love me, I actually started to look forward to it, everyIt rained all night.


sitting on the second floor of the movie theater

watching the crowd walk by

How did we on that day

smile silently for a long time,


z3, the beginning of our 013 movie. After the scene, watching the scattered crowd, enjoying the moment, no one got up and left the tacit understanding.


I think I'm too dependent on

just hanging up on the phone

insist on learning innocent children

quietly guarding this love zzzzz3 zz


z3, I have the most sweet voice, like a child who loves


z3. Why did I just start to miss it over and over again after hanging up the phone.


Know that I can’t be too dependent on

I’m afraid you will spoil me

Your fragrance has been hovering

I can’t bear to leave

z0 and I just love you a little bit. I look forward to your every good morning and good night with hypocrisy, because that is my dependence on you all day long. I miss you so much, I don't want to leave. I am most afraid that one day you will be away from me. Without you, the mountains, rivers, sun and stars would be more than .



lyrics analysis here, you should be able to feel, in fact, only in terms of lyrics, it feels sweet, describing the dependence of boys on girls in the state of passionate love. The first two lyrics of


describe the mood of boys when they are in unrequited love. Until the most aura of the phrase "I hate the rainy sky until I hear someone say that I love me" appears, the girl finally sees the boy's mind. Until "why that day we all smiled silently for a long time", the two began to have a tacit understanding. In the back, they are all "pretentious" in love.


Seeing here, do you think that the content of the lyrics is not the same as the temperament of the song we intuitively feel. It’s just too long, because Jay’s melody is too ear-grabbing, so we don’t care to think about it.


Next, let’s talk about the MV.



The MV of "You Can Hear" is directed by Zhou Getai, and the scene is Prague . The ingenious story is so ingenious that you can't put it down. I sigh that every MV of Jay in those years is very hard to tell the story, and after Plus, it will be a love. Movie.


I still remember when I talked about the MV of "Stranded" , ​​saying that it was originally about a scumbag. After watching the MV of "You Can Hear", I found out that "Stranded" is just a little stranger when it comes to the scumbag of the male protagonist.


Jay Chou was traveling in Prague with his girlfriend. After quarreling and smashing his cell phone, he discovered that he could actually see the girl K, which no one else could see. The plot of also responds to the phrase "Only I can see" in the lyrics.


It turns out that K is the messenger of the mobile phone MMS in the radio space. Jay, because other people can't see her, so he has no fear, playing ambiguous under the eyes of his girlfriend. Gradually, the love that Jay can't get in reality is met in the virtual world.


MV shoots the story of Jaylen and K very beautifully. is such a beautiful thing, it is almost forgotten, JayHave a real girlfriend.


Jaylen shared the picture he saw with K through MMS. After eating delicious desserts, I will take pictures of her, and when I see the exquisite music box, I will also take pictures of her. When


likes someone, that's not it. You are enjoying the sunshine, and my cloudy sky will be clear. Look at the pictures you see and spend your time. The sky is clear, the flowers are blooming, and the breeze is intoxicated.


"Turn around, my joyous person"



K will smile every time she receives a MMS, but she knows that it is not the happiness that the radio messenger should have, and she falls into deep happiness after a short period of deep happiness.


Until one day, when Jay was shooting a landscape, a fat man was sent in the air, and the fat man told him, "K is not allowed to be with you."


Jay also suddenly received a self-portrait MMS from K. He realized that this might be K's final farewell. Jay ran across the Prague alleys and finally found K.


On the day of parting, K wore a little black dress with long hair down. This is a completely different dressing style from her past. As if grew up in an instant, putting away the arrogance of the past.


I am gone, but every time you send a MMS, I will see it. The tear of


K is like the one that Zixia left in the heart of supreme treasure . Their identities are so similar, they are all fairies who shouldn't belong to the world. Their love, so pure, is so beautiful that people forget those secular and ethical forbidden areas.


"Smile K, goodbye Jay"


The sentence "Smile K, goodbye Jay" brought their story to a close.


Have you noticed that compared to the lyrics, the MV's temperament is more similar to that of Jay's composition and singing?


At the end of the story, Jayen actually meets a girl who looks the same as K in the Prague market. No one knows what will happen next. What does


mean, "Laugh K, goodbye Jay"?


I put it at the end of the article and said that I didn't understand it until 18 years later.



black trousers, white shirt, sitting straight on a rococo-style chair, the Prague sun shines in, thinking of you with a slight sadness, and the wind quietly blows through the bangs. This is the image of Jay in the MV of this song, and it is also the youth we can never go back to.


If you think that my analysis is still not enough, you can read a novel called "Sensual Love" written by the first generation of fans, which is about the exotic love between Jay and messenger K in Prague. story.



That is the romance of the first generation of fans, 18 years have passed, Xiangfangbi kept decorating, still doing the same thing, it must be said that this is the charm of Jay.


gave K a poem for J.


I want to be that person

like a boy in your life

He may not belong to love

but alwaysAt the closest distance to you

, ​​you can't help but share with him

when you want to cry

when you want to cry, tell him

Although you don’t know when

z will fade out of your life

z

zzz

zzz

zzz

z

z Singing.


Jay Chou's lazy voice at that time exudes an angelic charm, spreading every note of the whole song just right. The melody floating with the accompaniment of the piano, the sound of the piano, the sound of running water, and the sound of the whistle merge into a whole melody building.


Just looking at the lyrics is obviously a warm love song, but the melody is slightly sad. This feeling is like a sunny afternoon, unknowingly, but raining all over.



In this rainy afternoon, walking alone in the bright streets, the way back is in the rapid rhythm, with the right hand melody, the thoughts slowly return to a sunny day in the past. The song


comes to the end, the sound of rain is coming back, and the thoughts are pulled back to reality. This sense of time-space interlacing makes people once again think of Jay’s later classic crossing work " rained all night " .


is a layman, so I rarely analyze Jay's singing, but this time I have to say it. This song is not the most skillful one Jay sang, nor the one with the highest pitch, but it is indeed the most perfect overall interpretation.


From timbre to exhalation, it is easy to switch between true and false sound, and the whisper seems to be walking in a leisurely court, but in fact it is full of lethality. I searched all the adjectives to describe this feeling, and finally found the simplest two words—— Comfortable. Such a classic singing is impossible to replicate.


The whole song Jay murmured with regret, whispering to fade emotions. For this reason, I prefer this song to express the helplessness of breaking up. In my opinion, the lyrics of this song broke Jay’s composition. The metaphors and intentions of "feather", "embrace", and "hug" It's too ordinary, and it's a bit unworthy of such a fairy melody. I hope to find a better solution that takes into account the logic of the writing, the output of the easter eggs, and the presentation of the overall temperament of the song.


Therefore, I simply refilled a version of the lyrics based on the content of the MV. In Jaylen’s words, “just get off the car and direct the traffic.” Everyone click on the video number below and listen to the song brought by Miss Qiao Lu. One edition of "You Can Hear".
