After listening to the weird "Castle William", Du Xinghe played a touching and incomparable version of "Trajectory" that ranked 12th in his heart!

Love that I dare not say~

Will anyone be able to understand~

I'll be in a daze~ and forget about you~

Then close your eyes tightly~

Thinking that one day ~ someone will replace it ~

Let me stop missing you~

I'll be in a daze~ and smile slightly~

Then close your eyes tightly~

I thought about it again ~ your gentle face ~ Before I forgot jì~

Some songs are inherently suitable for 10,000 people to sing live, such as "Qili Xiang", such as "Trajectory", the CD version of "Trajectory" Du Xinghe will be ranked around 20, but the incomparable version of "Trajectory" is against the sky. finished the CD, that was the best "Trajectory", and it was also the best Jay Chou.

Du Xinghe bought an incomparable genuine disc very early. I also gave JAY stickers and an unparalleled photo album.,The stickers he gave away at the time.,It turned out to be a very stupid BOY on the school desk.,The font of the three letters of "JAY" is still fresh in his memory.。

To put it bluntly. Jay Chou is the strongest in the Chinese pop music scene in the new era, and this incomparable concert recorded in Taipei-North is the peak of Jay Chou's state, just like the name of this concert, it is incomparable. As the ultimate finale, "Trajectories" lived up to expectations and made "Incomparable" a perfect curtain call.

I believe that many fans who like Jay should have watched the CD of this concert in its entirety no less than dozens of times. Every time "Trajectory" is finished, there is not a single time that the eye sockets are not moist. The microphone was placed on the stand, and Jay stood alone, holding the microphone with both hands. Singing quietly with his eyes closed, every note is wonderful, even his perfect side face. Many people have been deeply moved by "Trajectory", and at that moment, I believe many people will know that they will never fall in love with another star like Jay Chou again, impossible. Because Jay Chou is a symbol of youth, in the most innocent youth. Thank you for having him by your side.

Back to the song itself, let's look at the lyrics first. This lyric is by Huang Junlang.

"Trajectory" is good, but what is this song about? Why doesn't the song's title appear in the lyrics? And what is the connection between this song and the title? It has to be solved one by one.

Huang Junlang is not a ghost, you can never imagine such a fat man, he wrote "The General", wrote "The Seventh Chapter of the Night", and wrote "In the Name of the Father". If you can imagine any of this. Then you would never imagine that a ghost who is good at writing dark music also has a sentimental side.

Throughout the whole "Trajectory", the lyrics tell the story of the hero's mental journey after the other half leaves. The hero is immersed in the past and can't extricate himself. Begin to look for traces of the good past, your fragrance, the traces of departure, the figure you miss, and finally you can't get it back. I could only close my eyes tightly, thinking of her gentle face over and over again, until the tears in my heart blurred my vision. The whole article is deeply emotional, and just looking at the lyrics is enough to make people moved.

Then let's talk about the music and arrangement through the live version of the video of guò.

Here I still have to talk about why I chose the incomparable version of "Trajectory", some people say that the CD version is cleaner and has better sound quality. But Du Xinghe felt that the various flaws of the concert, the opening remarks, the cheers of the audience, and Jay Chou's tone change were all part of this song, which made this song more moving, and this is the charm of the live version.

In terms of arrangement, the opening of the live version is accompanied by electric guitar, and Jay Chou finished speaking, slowly humming the first two sentences. It basically sets the tone of tear jerker. The next enhanced drum beat is more powerful than the CD version, and it is easy to bring in the rhythm. 1 minute and 25 seconds "Will anyone understand" is the first shock, Jay Chou's affectionate eyes are moving. At the beginning of the second time, "I ~ close my eyes" has a slight tone change, which makes people goosebumps. At 3 minutes and 50 seconds, the live version of "Let Me Don't Miss You Anymore~" True Tone can be sung to this height, or the live version, which is simply against the sky. The drum beat after that is one of the most mesmerizing parts of the whole song. The next repeat of the high-tide is tear gas, 4 minutes and 30 seconds "and then close your eyes tightly" The falsetto sound here explodes the CD, which is the most beautiful part of the whole song, and the beautiful Cheng dù estimates that only the live version of "Qili Xiang" can fight. The "Thank you, thank you for coming" is completely tear gas.

For true fans, there are two songs that are incomparable to the concert. One is "Qili Xiang", the other is "Trajectory", and finally Encore's "Trajectory", Jay Chou sang too affectionately, now look at it again, every sentence. In every scene, the way Jay holds the microphone, his side face, and what he says: "Thank you, thank you for coming", are deeply imprinted into those innocent and sad times that we can't go back to, and those past pictures are all him, all of them are Jay Chou, looking at the back of Jay Chou who finished the last sentence. At this time, the CD accompaniment sounded, recalling the love for you at the beginning, the feelings of dependence on you, he never knew how many children had spent their adolescence in his humming, spent their youth, and the trajectory was not an unparalleled encore, as if it was Jay Chou's last song to say goodbye to fans after a few years, if there was that day. Please make "Trajectory" encore, and let us listen to you sing "Trajectory" affectionately one last time. We'll all have our eyes blurred, and we'll sing with you, and we'll hear you one last time, "Thank you, thank you for coming,...... and we'll say, "Thank you." Thank you for your company, thank you, Jay......"

Next, is the song ranked 11th in Du Xinghe's heart, which is also a classic that has the strength to squeeze into the top ten - "Nocturne"!

A swarm of bloodthirsty ants ~ attracted to carrion ~

I'm expressionless ~ looking at the lonely scenery ~

Losing you ~ love and hate are starting to be clear ~

Losing you~What else is there to care about~

When the dove no longer symbolizes peace~

I was finally reminded that ~ it was a vulture that was fed in the square~

I use beautiful rhymes ~ to describe the plundered love ~ ……

Ah~Dark clouds are beginning to obscure~The night is not clean~

In the park~the echo of the funeral~flying in the sky~

Send your ~white roses~ withering in pure black environments~

The crow is eerily quiet on the branches~

Listen quietly ~ my black coat ~

I want to warm you ~ the increasingly cold memories ~

Walked ~ walked through the life ~ Ah~There is a fog all around~Ah~I'm in an empty cemetery~

I still love you when I'm old~

……

Play Chopin's nocturne for you ~ in memory of my dead love ~

The sound like the night breeze ~ heartbreak is very nice ~

The hand is very light on the keyboard ~ I am very careful with the thoughts I give ~ The place where you are buried is called Nether~

Play Chopin's nocturne for you ~ in memory of my dead love ~

And I'll be incognito for you~Playing the piano in the moonlight~

The feeling of your heartbeat~ is still so warm and close ~

I miss your bright red lip print~

……

Those dragonflies with broken wings~ are scattered in this forest~

And my eyes ~did not have the slightest sympathy~

Losing you ~ tears cloudy ~ Losing you~ I even have a shadow on my smile~

The wind is on the mossy roof ~ laughing at my sadness ~ It's like a dry well without water~

I use poignant fonts ~ to depict the love that I regret ~ ……

This Nocturne is the earliest completed work in Chopin in November. It can also be said that the spirit of the whole album is located, the lyrics are created by Fang Wenshan, and Jay Chou uses a solid foundation of classical in songwriting to combine pop elements.

"Nocturne" follows Jay Chou's Rap style, and at first listen, I will only feel that this is the same Zhou's love song as always, continuing to focus on the melody and continue to speak unclearly. If you listen carefully, the simple piano sound and retro melody in it can really provoke people's hearts, and the lyrics accurately express the unspeakable pain. It's worth savoring again and again.

"Nocturne" opens with guitar sounds and simple rhythms, leading people into scenes of heartbreak. The song depicts that the protagonist still chooses to play Chopin's nocturne in order to remember his deceased lover, commemorating the painful meaning of love, which really makes people feel a touch of poignant atmosphere.

In "Nocturne", there is a story about the departure of a lover. The first few piano notes are sad, and the rap section gradually emerges with the piano sound. After entering the chorus. Jay Chou began his own unique low singing, with a beautiful melody and a sad atmosphere.

In Du Xinghe's ranking, this "Nocturne" is the last work of "Chopin in November" to be on the list. So I have to talk about this album, not about musicality, but about his own memories.

I remember that at that time, passers-by who experienced "Qili Xiang" in the summer of 04 exploded, and Jay Chou's popularity had reached its peak, and the entire campus was filled with the fragrance of "Qili Xiang" throughout the year. So the summer of '05 is naturally very exciting. As everyone knows, that summer, Jay Chou's habitual season of releasing records, but he missed the appointment. But that didn't dampen the enthusiasm of Jay's fans in the slightest.

Du Xinghe has a cousin, which is very interesting, he happened to be in the third year of high school at that time, and since the official start of school, he has been running to the video store at the school gate every two or three days. It's a pirated video store, and you can buy high-quality imitation tapes for five yuan a piece. Good value for money.

At that time, for Du Xinghe's cousin, the sound quality of more than a dozen pairs of headphones was better than the sound quality of hundreds now. At that time, they already had two CD players and a few MP3s in their class, which compared to the sound quality of the pirated audio tapes. Pirated tapes can be completely fake. That cousin had bought a box of Ye Huimei's genuine tapes in the city in his first year of high school, and later lost it in his sophomore year of high school along with hundreds of Walkmans he bought, and he also lost it in a classroom drawer, which made him cry without tears. He was depressed and used the school's pay phone to call his parents, and his parents comforted him and said to buy it again. At that time, he was crying and weak after hundreds of pains.

Later, he suspected that the stupid B who stole his things was simply for his genuine "Ye Huimei", because many people knew that he had a genuine version at that time. So this made him form a shadow of genuine harm in his heart, and since then, he has started his own road of piracy.

Later, after being introduced by his classmates, he made up Jay Chou's first 5 cassettes in that professional pirated video store, and each one even had the same cover as the original, and knelt down.

The shop in front of their school is quite popular on campus because it is very professional. Du Xinghe's cousin, after the start of the third year of high school, often ran to ask the owner when he could order the new album, and every time he went, he could meet several inquirings. I waited and waited, and finally one day, the boss said that the goods would arrive next week, and he was excited at that time, and he was going crazy. In fact, at that time, "Nocturne" was played on the Internet and radio, and when he listened to it, the first feeling was really good, the melody was ear-catching enough, and the words were vague enough, which was the type he liked.

And the next few days were tormenting, he still asked every day, and finally one day after school, he saw the only unprecedented scene in history - there was a long queue at the door of the pirated video store, several large cardboard boxes were all at the door, and many high school students were buying Jay Chou's new album!

That day, Du Xinghe's cousin even bought it himself, and then helped his classmates buy it, and bought a total of 6 boxes of cassettes for 6 quick money, which is more expensive than ordinary pirated cassette. But the supply is still in short supply, and the first batch of goods was directly robbed, which is also the only time in their small county, and the only time for Jay Chou, which is unprecedented.

The precious album he got in his hands in this way made Du Xinghe's cousin ecstatic, and he didn't do anything else in the next few days, listening to it repeatedly. He was a simple student, and at that time, he didn't think that Jay Chou must surpass the previous one, or maintain the standard, or whatever. After a while, he just mixed the album with the top five and listened to it back and forth. This approach is actually similar to Du Xinghe. Du Xinghe also likes to mix all of Jay Chou's albums together and listen to them.

In Du Xinghe's personal opinion, Jay Chou before "Chopin" is not much different, and after "Chopin", alas...... A long sigh.

Back to "Chopin", it must be said that Jay Chou's creation made Du Xinghe feel uncomfortable for the first time, although he took it seriously, he still felt fatigue, and it appeared for the first time.

The first is "Blue Storm", when he heard this song for the first time, Du Xinghe was shocked, and he really didn't believe that this was Jay Chou's work. The arrangement is fine, but the melody is a mess, and he loops it many, many times, but after so many years, he still can't accept it.

Then there is "Maltose", which is not against selling cute, like the "Ukulele" of the later album Du Xinghe likes it very much. But the soul of a song is still the composition and melody, and the so-called rhythm is the spirituality given by the later arrangers and singers, but this song has no melody and spirituality at all, and he was disappointed with Jay Chou's work for the first time. In addition, "Romantic Mobile", "Coral Sea" and even "Black Sweater" in the album all lack Jay Chou's consistent high quality, the kind of pleasure that makes people crazy when they hear it.

Fortunately, there is still no shortage of highlights in the 12 songs, two movie theme songs and "Hair Like Snow" and "Nocturne". arithmetic, "Embattled" and "Reverse Scales" are also not bad. Overall, this is a qualified album, but "Chopin in November" broke the characteristics of Jay Chou's first album, no matter how the first 5 albums are arranged, "Chopin" must be ranked sixth.

Back to the song "Nocturne".

This is the title song of the album and the first song to be completed. It can be said that the soul of this album lies, so to speak, unequivocally. The further back he goes, the weaker Jay Chou's creativity becomes, and the more mediocre his works become, I believe this has something to do with the creative cycle. Start with the planning copy for this album. When this album was promoted, it told us two things, first. The album was delayed again and again in order to give fans more feelings, and the promotional slogan at the time was: It's a little late this year, but it feels a little more. Second, in "Chopin in November". Jay Chou played the role of a musical poet to pay tribute to Chopin, the piano poet, and added a classical factor. Now let's go back and look at those two points. The first point is nonsense, and the second point is half true and half false. Why? Let's break it down in detail. First of all, the release time of "Chopin in November" has been delayed again and again, not because Jay Chou has lengthened the creative cycle, but because he has spent more time to contact and develop a new field, film. So the first point is pure nonsense. The second point, when we look back at "Nocturne", many people can hack "Nocturne", but responsibly speaking, "Chopin in November" cannot be hacked is "Nocturne", not that "Nocturne" is too high, but "Nocturne" is too few.

"Nocturne" is a song completed by Jay Chou from 04 to early 05, the concept of the album "Chopin in November": a musical poet, a classical factor, Jay Chou has been formed as early as after "Seven Miles of Fragrance", and "Nocturne" was completed at the right time. This is also where Jay Chou's genius lies. If the script continues in this way, then in the summer of 2005, "Chopin in November" will once again shock the Chinese music scene. It's a pity that history has never had ifs, and Jay Chou's time that should have been spent on music poets was spent on the first movie. Jay Chou, who is conceited and talented, did not stop the creation of the album, wrote another 11 songs in the remaining time, and completed a series of things such as singing before November 1st.

In fact, at this time, the development of the next plot was destined to be, and in the next few years, Jay Chou only missed the appointment in 09, and completed the task of one album and one movie a year against the sky. Such a result did not make Jay Chou go further, but fell to the bottom, and Jay Chou, whose first impression was not very good in the eyes of the public and passers-by, began to lose his most important weapon: word of mouth, and his popularity declined year by year. This qiē all begins with the "Initial D". I don't want to hack "Initial D", this movie is still very watchable. But if you have a person who loves music, he would rather not have this movie, but also want Jay Chou's whole year-long creative cycle, "Chopin in July" or "Chopin in August", which should have been released in the summer of 2005. Jay Chou should have been better, but unfortunately the self-reliant company planning and future planning really lack height and long-term planning. Of course, a large part of this is due to Jay Chou himself, such as the filming of "Panda Man", Yang Junrong couldn't pull it. If Du Xinghe were Jay Chou, he would decisively halve his music works after getting involved in movies, ensuring the speed of one album a year and one excellent movie a year. And build the Jay Chou film brand on the director + producer + cameo, and quickly accumulate brand and reputation at the rate of a self-directed movie every other year. At the same time, the release of the music album is guaranteed within a one-year creative cycle. That is, movies and music each account for one year, and some people say that there will be fewer music works in this way, or it will affect popularity, and at the same time, there will not be many movies, which will affect the box office. Actually, it's not, first, the speed of an album in two years is definitely impossible to come out of "Exclamation Point", in fact, even if you draw 10 songs from "Exclamation Point" and twelve new works, you can listen to it, not to mention creating an album in two years. Second, every other year's movie Jay Chou can release two or three new songs in the form of movie soundtracks to ensure freshness. Third, about the box office of the movie, publicity is one thing, and word-of-mouth is even more of the other, if Jay Chou really likes to make movies so much and has talent in this area, then the Zhou's film brand that focuses on building in one year believes that it will accumulate word-of-mouth, and the box office brought by word-of-mouth will grow geometrically. In this way, Jay Chou has not only realized his movie dream but also achieved his achievements, and Jay Chou will inevitably become the undisputed first person in the history of the Chinese entertainment industry.

Alas, far away.

Back to Nocturne. (To be continued......)
