I was really obsessed when it first came out, but even for someone having a native Chinese tongue like me, it’s still really really hard to rap like him, I had to slow down the play speed to like 0.7 to actually put all the words into the right beat and to start practicing! Something I didn’t expect is that I’ve been inspired a lot just by practicing this.
When Jay directed this MV, he did not show the plot according to the timeline, but used a memory perspective and flashbacks to express the plot. This makes the plot somewhat difficult to understand. If you don't understand the plot, I'll tell you. First of all, from the song title "In the Name of the Father", it has two meanings. The first is to pay tribute to the godfather of the classic Mafia movie. The second is revenge (in the mv) in the name of Jay's father. The theme of the song is about a story of revenge and redemption. Young jay saw his father get shot by mafia men. When he grew up he joined the mafia who killed his father for revenge. In order to gain the Mafia's trust and get closer to the man who killed his father, Jay did a lot of dirty work for the Mafia. In the end, Jay successfully completed his revenge, he successfully killed the enemy, and replaced the enemy to become the top of the mafia. But after completing his revenge, he found that he had walked too deep into the darkness and could not turn back. The dirty work he did to get revenge, to gain the Mafia's trust, had become an unwashed sin. So there is a scene in the mv where jay throws away the gun symbolizing sin on the way to church and prays to god for forgiveness for the sin he has done.
I’m a big fan of Jay Chou from 20years ago, and I’ve watched all the Jay Chou MV reactions on TH-cam. Joe’s reaction on Jay’s MV is the highest quality and professionally. Really enjoy your video. Thanks Joe
I don't know why, but I started to tear up a bit watching how others appreciate Jay Chou's music. I am actually older than Jay Chou, but I have been a fan since 2001. I don't understand fully the technical aspects of the song, but thank you for your comments.
Jay Chou is a super talented music genius. He can replicate each sound you throw at him and replicate it accurately on the piano. 20 yrs ago i couldnt believe he composed all of his songs and sung his own songs and he was a complete nobody. Now he is a megastar in asia and known globally. Super proud of him
This song Lyrics： 微涼的晨露 沾濕黑禮服 The cool morning dew moisten the black robes 石板路有霧 父在低訴 There's mist on the flags. God's whispering 無奈的覺悟 只能更殘酷 I know the only choice is to be cruel 一切都為了 通往聖堂的路 All these are for the way to the holy ground 吹不散的霧 隱沒了意圖 The thick fog has concealed my intention 誰輕柔踱步 停住 Who goes on the prowl and stops? 還來不及哭 穿過的子彈 就帶走溫度 By the time the victim cried,the bullet had taken his breath 我們每個人都有罪 犯著不同的罪 Each of us is guilty of the different sins we've committed 我能決定誰對 誰又該要沈睡 I decide on who's right and who shall rest in peace 爭論不能解決 在永無止境的夜 The debate couldn't be ended in the endless night 關掉你的嘴 唯一的恩惠 Shutting mouth of yours was the only grace 擋在前面的人都有罪 後悔也無路可退 Those who get in the way are sinful. There's no leeway for regret 以父之名判決 Judge in the name of God. 那感覺沒有適合字彙 就像邊笑邊掉淚 There's no proper word for the feeling like smiling through my tears 凝視著完全的黑 阻擋悲劇蔓延的悲劇會讓我沈醉 I gaze at the pure darkness. The tragedies for tragedies will intoxicate me 低頭親吻我的左手 換取被寬恕的承諾 Bowed my head to kiss my left hand in exchange for forgiving pledge 老舊管風琴在角落 一直一直一直伴奏 In the corner the old pipe organ kept on accompanying 黑色簾幕被風吹動 陽光無言的穿透 The black curtain were fluttering. The sunshine tranquilly pierced through 灑向那群被我馴服後的 獸 and shed on the beasts that I've tamed 沈默的喊叫 沈默的喊叫 孤單開始發酵 There was silenct scream. There was silent scream. Loneliness fermented 不停對著我嘲笑 回憶逐漸延燒 It kept on deriding me. The fire of recalls spread 曾經純真的畫面 殘忍的溫柔出現 The frames had been innocent, but the cruel meekness emerged 脆弱時間到 我們一起來禱告 Time for frailty. Let's pray to God together 仁慈的父我已墜入 看不見罪的國度 God the father! I've lapsed into Babylon, where sins run wild 請原諒我的自負 Please forgive me for my pride 沒人能說沒人可說 好難承受 Having none to pour out is so unbearable 榮耀的背後刻著一道孤獨 Behind the honor inscribes the loneliness 閉上雙眼我又看見 當年那夢的畫面 Closing my eyes, again I see the frame in dreams of that year 天空是濛濛的霧 The sky was covered with fog 父親牽著我的雙手 My father led me by the hand. 輕輕走過 清晨那安安靜靜的石板路 We walked in light steps on the peaceful and serene flags at dawn 仁慈的父 我已墜入 看不見罪的國度 God the father! I've lapsed into Babylon, where sins run wild 請原諒我 我的自負 刻著一道孤獨 Please forgive me. Forgive my pride. Inscribes the loneliness 斑駁的家徽 擦拭了一夜 I wiped the dapple badge throughout the night. 孤獨的光輝 才懂的感覺 Merely I know the lonesome radiance. 燭光 不 不 停的搖晃 The candlelight kept on swaying. 貓頭鷹在窗櫺上 對著遠方眺望 On the sash the owl overlooks somewhere faraway 通向大廳的長廊 一樣說不出的滄桑 The passage to the hall had suffered many vicissitudes 沒有喧囂 只有寧靜圍繞 Without clamor,only silence surrounds. 我 慢慢睡著 天 剛剛破曉 I drop off slowly. The day was dawning 317
I was in 4th grade when this song was released, it was the first pop song I learned, and since then I've fallen in love with singing and with Jay Chou, thanks to Jay Chou's 20 years of companionship, it's great to have his music in the world!
Thanks Joe for your professional review. Enjoyed it and learned a lot too. This is a masterpiece of Jay Chao's creations. On 16 July 2003, more than 50 radio stations in Asia launched this song together and about 800M people listened to it at the same time, hence this day has since been set as Jay Chou's Day. Look forward to your next review on Jay's songs. Thanks again.
This song is one of the best song in the world, at least for me....he's genius, my most fave musician ever...i even bought the cd yrs ago n the only chinese artist i love...😂😂😂 he's king of mandopop for a reason
Jay Chou is many 90s people idol. He’s the one of the most popular singer/artist at that time. Jay Chou’s music talent is ahead of his time. High productivity and high quality.
I feel equally jealous of and sad for people that discovers Jay Chou in the 2020s. This is the most musically gifted man alive. He’s constantly effing around and ended up with hundreds of classics. Just listen and learn. I have never met a producer in California that is even on par with Jay’s musical intelligence. That “synth” is not a synth but a tweaked Oboe. Roland has a similar sound. This song is arranged by a really talented musician. The Oboe line is the best thing of this song. After you listen to it every month for 19 years -I have- the Oboe line is the one thing that stands out.
This brings me back to my high school years when I listened to his albums on repeat, not talking to anyone. I got through my rebellious years like an emo girl. Can't believe it's been over 20 years! Still love Jay Chou.
This is literally the first full album I’ve ever fully listened to in my life, in the room of an older friend during my early elementary school. I was 10ish. I can’t say at that time I got the full coolness and def not the meaning and emotions in this song, but I came to memorize almost every detail of it before even understanding it. As time goes and I feel more sophisticated, every time I go back I think, man that was a great song with so much going on. He was my hiphop and rhythm teacher without me knowing it. Thanks for your review. For that synth sound, I never really pointed that out, but it seems strongly recognizable whenever I think of the song, so I personally believe it is a twisted heart feeling the protagonist always has inside in his mafia life experience. No surprise that you think it weird, my dad always said to me this guys is too noisy and mumbling lol
Oboe. And it’s the best thing about this song. It’s the memory hook. For most songs, the memory point is the chorus. But when you think of this song, the oboe is the first thing pops to mind.
Really appreciate you did another song of Jay's. This is another song so many of us grew up with, and ingrained in our brains, but too young to grasp. But its also really interesting to hear your take about the overlapping double, i think sometimes there is triple voice overlay is pretty sums up the complex mind of a human/ "sinner". Using god father as theme, theres narration, overlapping prayer and the opera voice like the sound of the heart yearning for forgiveness. And really it is so interesting to hear the change of flow, but also so smooth like u said. Thx thx love ur reviews ❤
Just found your channel, really enjoying your commentary on several classic popular songs. What’s great is now I get to enjoy the artistic aspects of them because of you and that’s really interesting as well as entertaining. Music is not a language I can speak, so thank you for your translation.
Most of the Chinese adults had criticized that his musics are rubbish, because he's one of those very first brought in hip hop elements into Chinese music and he's probably the most trending one at that time. My dad even asked me to turn the radio off when he listened to Jay Chou's music, they just couldn't accept the new music style. Hats off to the legendary of Chinese music, he must have received loads of negative comments for making changes but he still went through it. Respect indeed.
@@bowenwong2385 i did mention most of those adults, and it's past tense, and nothing to do with the current fans though, regardless they're adult or not. Do you need me to write in Chinese as well?
Jay chau is a legend in Chinese pop music industry. I guess no one can surpass him up to now. He’s really talented and his songs are always modern. Another legend and diva, I would like to recommend Faye Wong. Her songs in “寓言” fable, are very avant-garde and never goes out of style.
I think he's really pretty genius. When I was in middle school I was obsessed with his songs. I bought his first album "Jay", and remembered every song in it. You mentioned his Chinese sounded fluid, and you are right. The way of rapping in Chinese is one of his greatest creation. He ingeniously noticed if people dropped the 4 tones in Chinese, Chinese rap would sound fluent. Before him, singers in Chinese tended to believe rap couldn't be localized into Chinese. Of course due to his unique way of singing (people could barely understand what he was singing), he got greatly bashed from music professionals in the first several years after his debut. Even today, after 20 years, I still love his songs, and I think he is almost the only one who really localized rap into Chinese. Unlike many of the so-called rappers today in China, Jay Chou never used so much English, either dressing like a "rapper", or mimic American rappers' rap, instead, he always rapped in his own way. If you're still interested, you can listen to his first album. B class compared to his albums afterwards, but very interesting.
I heard this song when I was in junior high school, then I watched the music video in an Internet café in high school, and then when I saw "The Godfather" when I was in college, I realized that this song must have been inspired by this movie.
What's great about Jay is that he does all kinds of genre. I'd love to see you react to Jay Chou's Nocturne. Though you might enjoy "Bed Time Story" or "Extra Large Shoes" better.
I'm a simple minded person,when I see jay chou, I just click🤣🤣🤣🤣I hope one day u make a video about jay chou’s singing voice from the beginning to now days since jay chou’s voice is so damaged now and analysis some of his most recent songs, tells us the difference between the old jay chou style and the damaged voice style
This song is made plenty years ago judging on 2022. Back to the year of this song none of the artist create as talent as him. You shall judge back on those years of all competitior lol
Also, its best to focus on the melody of the song and not the Music Video. Jay is known as a composer and singer. He once said to treat his vocals as part of a musical instrument in the song.
Five bangs from a revolver at the end of the interlude (which sound contradictory to the beat and questionable at first) is perfected by the last bang at the second chorus. It is like firing out the last bullet to get the job done. The arrangement of Jay's earlier songs do have some irreplaceable creativity.
Finally someone notice this. Also, dont forget about his creativity of utilizing the italian praying phases and woman screaming in the middle of the song. An unsurpassable artist indeed
I like your professional review of the song3. I think you have to try the song“她的睫毛 Her eyelashes”. No matter how many times I listen to this song, I feel incredible! More than ten years later, I am still in awe and love of this beautiful and impressive music. I recommend it to you! You have to try!
Love your review Joe. Other Jay songs that might be interesting for you would be my favorite "Extra Large Shoes" with its Charlie Chaplin theme because it's just so creative and fun and the lyrics are insightful; or my second fav "Bedtime Stories" just because not only does it have a really catchy beatbut the mv gives me a sort of a cool halloweeny slash alice-in-wonderland type of vibe and has some really clever artsy elements to it😎
Hello, Joe! I really like the detail of your comments and how you disassemble the song to let us know how many elements in one song. After watching your videos and I began to pay attention all the details and the combination, and I am wondering this two songs. Is it possible to compare the song between Joy Division - Transmission and Oaeen (魚丁系) - Regret (後悔莫及).
Can’t believe you can get the meaning just from the melody and singing stuff. Cause I know the language so I could get more info from it. But If you can understand what the lyrics mean, you will know the mv is a short movie. It’s a similar story as
Can't believe this song is almost 20yrs ago, still so great. Always love your detailed opinion to his songs.
he just released the new song few days ago.... but... i miss old Jay ... 😅
I was really obsessed when it first came out, but even for someone having a native Chinese tongue like me, it’s still really really hard to rap like him, I had to slow down the play speed to like 0.7 to actually put all the words into the right beat and to start practicing! Something I didn’t expect is that I’ve been inspired a lot just by practicing this.
first time I heard it I was in high school
当时听这首歌的时候还是磁带，没有MV，一听到第一个旋律出来就有种炸裂的感觉，那种风格是中文歌曲里从来没有过的。整首曲子听下来可以得到一个完整的故事，Jay独有的唱腔娓娓道来一段旧时回忆，随着背景旋律的铺垫出慢慢在眼前展开，有父爱、有叛逆、是每一个少年男孩都会经历的一段往日时光以及仍在内心深处的挣扎。PS：Jay是跟着妈妈长大的。
1.夜的第七章2.七里香3.轨迹4.一路向北 5.断了的弦6.最长的电影 7.枫 8.止战之殇9.借口10.黑色幽默
When Jay directed this MV, he did not show the plot according to the timeline, but used a memory perspective and flashbacks to express the plot. This makes the plot somewhat difficult to understand. If you don't understand the plot, I'll tell you. First of all, from the song title "In the Name of the Father", it has two meanings.

赞！
哥们好牛
这首歌虽然听了有上百遍了，但是再次听到，还是忍不住汗毛数次竖起来了。真的赞呢，这是top1的歌曲。
我觉得能上千万遍 老了也要一直听😂
我也是听他的歌才慢慢开始知道有编曲，和声，各种器乐，合成器…一首歌居然那么丰富，而不是只听旋律和歌词！
20年前的歌放到現在還是很前衛，這才是Jay和他的團隊最屌的地方
我覺得現在沒很前衛
當時真的很讚
夜的第七章之後就完全停住了
放到現在屌打一堆歌曲
放到現在屌打自己的新歌...
那種雙聲疊唱效果不就和 suicide squad 的RAP OST很像嗎?
沒有太喜歡周董的歌, 但他真是樣子有, 音感有, 又有創作魂.又有好歌喉..真是天選之人呀
mv顶级，编曲顶级，放在今天，也是顶级
很喜歡Joe的專業分析，要有多龐大的音樂知識才能解説得這麼詳細～感謝
this is a masterpiece from Jay Chou, perfect art piece

This song Lyrics：
微涼的晨露 沾濕黑禮服
The cool morning dew moisten the black robes
石板路有霧 父在低訴
There's mist on the flags. God's whispering
無奈的覺悟 只能更殘酷
I know the only choice is to be cruel
一切都為了 通往聖堂的路
All these are for the way to the holy ground
吹不散的霧 隱沒了意圖
The thick fog has concealed my intention
誰輕柔踱步 停住
Who goes on the prowl and stops?
還來不及哭 穿過的子彈 就帶走溫度
By the time the victim cried,the bullet had taken his breath
我們每個人都有罪 犯著不同的罪
Each of us is guilty of the different sins we've committed
我能決定誰對 誰又該要沈睡
I decide on who's right and who shall rest in peace
爭論不能解決 在永無止境的夜
The debate couldn't be ended in the endless night
關掉你的嘴 唯一的恩惠
Shutting mouth of yours was the only grace
擋在前面的人都有罪 後悔也無路可退
Those who get in the way are sinful. There's no leeway for regret
以父之名判決
Judge in the name of God.
那感覺沒有適合字彙 就像邊笑邊掉淚
There's no proper word for the feeling like smiling through my tears
凝視著完全的黑 阻擋悲劇蔓延的悲劇會讓我沈醉
I gaze at the pure darkness. The tragedies for tragedies will intoxicate me
低頭親吻我的左手 換取被寬恕的承諾
Bowed my head to kiss my left hand in exchange for forgiving pledge
老舊管風琴在角落 一直一直一直伴奏
In the corner the old pipe organ kept on accompanying
黑色簾幕被風吹動 陽光無言的穿透
The black curtain were fluttering. The sunshine tranquilly pierced through
灑向那群被我馴服後的 獸
and shed on the beasts that I've tamed
沈默的喊叫 沈默的喊叫 孤單開始發酵
There was silenct scream. There was silent scream. Loneliness fermented
不停對著我嘲笑 回憶逐漸延燒
It kept on deriding me. The fire of recalls spread
曾經純真的畫面 殘忍的溫柔出現
The frames had been innocent, but the cruel meekness emerged
脆弱時間到 我們一起來禱告
Time for frailty. Let's pray to God together
仁慈的父我已墜入 看不見罪的國度
God the father! I've lapsed into Babylon, where sins run wild
請原諒我的自負
Please forgive me for my pride
沒人能說沒人可說 好難承受
Having none to pour out is so unbearable
榮耀的背後刻著一道孤獨
Behind the honor inscribes the loneliness
閉上雙眼我又看見 當年那夢的畫面
Closing my eyes, again I see the frame in dreams of that year
天空是濛濛的霧
The sky was covered with fog
父親牽著我的雙手
My father led me by the hand.
輕輕走過 清晨那安安靜靜的石板路
We walked in light steps on the peaceful and serene flags at dawn
仁慈的父 我已墜入 看不見罪的國度
God the father! I've lapsed into Babylon, where sins run wild
請原諒我 我的自負 刻著一道孤獨
Please forgive me. Forgive my pride. Inscribes the loneliness
斑駁的家徽 擦拭了一夜
I wiped the dapple badge throughout the night.
孤獨的光輝 才懂的感覺
Merely I know the lonesome radiance.
燭光 不 不 停的搖晃
The candlelight kept on swaying.
貓頭鷹在窗櫺上 對著遠方眺望
On the sash the owl overlooks somewhere faraway
通向大廳的長廊 一樣說不出的滄桑
The passage to the hall had suffered many vicissitudes
沒有喧囂 只有寧靜圍繞
Without clamor,only silence surrounds.
我 慢慢睡著 天 剛剛破曉
I drop off slowly. The day was dawning
317
This was the best mandarin album that year, almost 20 years ago. Jay chou is light years ahead of everyone.
這首歌剛出來的時候我就很喜歡….但可能我當時太年輕 一直沒有特別去記歌名…所以想起這首歌 想聽的時候 都沒有順利找到….🥲 這次透過外國專業音樂人的頻道再次找到這首歌 我很感激…❤
Very cool to see someone analyze a song like this, like to learn more detail!

Jay chou's song had lots of meaning in our old days.Thanks for Joe remained me.
I love Jay Chou's music because his music style and the technique he used. It is really new and amazing at that time.
He was way ahead of his time for sure
Thanks for your analysis,after listening Jay’s songs for so many years and many times,I get a new cognition of these now.
When this song came out I was like ten years old~
I still remember I grabbed the lyrics book and listened this album like all day long！
#classic
I feel equally jealous of and sad for people that discovers Jay Chou in the 2020s. This is the most musically gifted man alive. He’s constantly effing around and ended up with hundreds of classics.

Oh I definitely did not hear it as an oboe initially, that's very interesting!
2020？真的很晚，周杰倫現在的生活重心在家庭，作品和演出機會越來越少，可惜了。
比較多畫展和～打lol哈哈哈
台灣藝人蔡康永曾說
周杰倫能夠一直追尋自己的理想和目標（？
非常好的模範～
有厲害，但這麼說好像有點過頭了喔…
@@formosanflyfisherman1420 ，周杰倫是真的厲害啊。華人音樂的先驅，在亞洲流行音樂裡最具有影響力的人。這可是2003年的作品啊。
This brings me back to my high school years when I listened to his albums on repeat, not talking to anyone. I got through my rebellious years like an emo girl. Can't believe it's been over 20 years! Still love Jay Chou.
Thanks to your explanation, i finally realized why i found jay’s music so interesting.
Love jay chou. I have been a long term jay chou’s fan. It’s nice to hear your opinions too!
Thank you so much for doing a review on this song. I've been a fan of Jay my entire life, and this song is absolutely a masterpiece!

No surprise that you think it weird, my dad always said to me this guys is too noisy and mumbling lol
合成器声音在中间偏右，人声要么在正中间，要么被安排在两边，看得出来jay是刻意想让人注意到合成器的声音。考虑到作曲年代，这个合成器的声音应该是种比较新奇的声音。
highly recommend Wonds of War! it quite reflects what is happening right now tho it is an old song too
你分析讲解得太棒了，真是专业级别的，bro.
That synth ritme stays in ur mind after listening many times the song, and let the song be unforgettable for u, that's why I like it, personal opinion
This is true!

Jay Chou is a genius, period! Love him!
U point out the pattern of his rap,, like a master class & talent
主要是說
作為台灣人
我英文不好，所以我聽Joe說話必須看字幕
尷尬的是，我聽他唱，我還是得看字幕
作為七年級台灣人，我聽他唱，不需要字幕，因為已經背起來了🤣🤣🤣
（純粹講幹話）
不看字幕 不知道唱的是什麼
沒事，全世界的人聽他唱都需要字幕這問題不大
但是可怕的是大多数人都会背也会唱
大陆人小时候听周杰伦的歌愣是一句没听懂

2022 and it still sounds great
This is my favourite song among his. Great to see you have a reaction and review on it.
Jay Chou is a very talented signer and song writer. This song is one of his greatest songs that was done 20 years ago, in 2003. Can you believe that?
这首其实大部分的魅力不在旋律，而是在歌词上。巧妙的押韵，用诗词一样的语言叙述着一个忏悔的故事。我觉得作为一个外国人，看着翻译成英文的歌词是很难get到这份中文独特的美。而这首歌的创作时间是很早的，所以MV看起来也很土，但即使是2022年，也几乎或者说根本没有歌手能超越周杰伦的歌，所以说，华语乐坛其实已经死了。
以父之名的价值我认为还在于其开创性 在当时的华语乐坛有这样编曲的歌我认为是难以置信的
乔，谢谢你认真分析我的偶像的歌曲，下次听听“夜曲”吧

Thank Jay for creating this work of art.
谢谢九哥分享，周杰伦也是我很喜欢的一位歌手

Hats off to the legendary of Chinese music, he must have received loads of negative comments for making changes but he still went through it. Respect indeed.
your dad does not represent most of us lol, plus his fans are all adults now

@@bowenwong2385 i did mention most of those adults, and it's past tense, and nothing to do with the current fans though, regardless they're adult or not. Do you need me to write in Chinese as well?
Jay chau is a legend in Chinese pop music industry. I guess no one can surpass him up to now. He’s really talented and his songs are always modern. Another legend and diva, I would like to recommend Faye Wong. Her songs in “寓言” fable, are very avant-garde and never goes out of style.
The synth loop which in the middle is the most remarkable label of the song, remind me immediately after 20 years
太讚了 我小時候還有買CD整天在家狂播這首歌
well done~ keep it up Joe, we all love your high-quality videos you know
Thank you so much! ❤️
周杰伦是音乐鬼才，此解说员也是一个懂音乐的鬼才。解说的非常cool。
Always learn a lot from you! Thanks!
Your dog draws more of my attention.😂 Love him / her.❤
誰敢相信~這居然是一首20年前的歌~太神了~
周杰伦，绝对的天才，每首歌都经典❤❤但中文博大精深，没有深厚的中文背景只是翻译成英文的话其实很难完全深入很多中文歌，如果懂中文会更能深入每个字每个词❤❤但周杰伦的唱腔绝对可以俘获任何人，即使不懂中文的人😊😊
First time listen to this song I was 12 years old.
How lucky I am.
Dopeee Dope
I consider this song to be the peak of Jay Chou. Just so so so good.
I think he's really pretty genius. When I was in middle school I was obsessed with his songs. I bought his first album "Jay", and remembered every song in it. You mentioned his Chinese sounded fluid, and you are right. The way of rapping in Chinese is one of his greatest creation. He ingeniously noticed if people dropped the 4 tones in Chinese, Chinese rap would sound fluent. Before him, singers in Chinese tended to believe rap couldn't be localized into Chinese. Of course due to his unique way of singing (people could barely understand what he was singing), he got greatly bashed from music professionals in the first several years after his debut. Even today, after 20 years, I still love his songs, and I think he is almost the only one who really localized rap into Chinese. Unlike many of the so-called rappers today in China, Jay Chou never used so much English, either dressing like a "rapper", or mimic American rappers' rap, instead, he always rapped in his own way.
If you're still interested, you can listen to his first album. B class compared to his albums afterwards, but very interesting.
Jay的说唱才是真正的国语说唱或者说华人说唱，不像现在国内那些那些人，天天穿着oversize戴着大链子，那叫黑人说唱的汉化版
Joe很厉害的一点是以父之名前面就是用的《教父》片段人声，从Joe的表达来看它应该是没反应过来这部影片的，但是依然感受到了意大利和黑手党，这应该就是音乐和视觉敏感度吧。
This is my favorite song of Jay Chou.
*《葉惠美》是最牛逼的一張專輯*
I can’t stop looking at your dog.
I heard this song when I was in junior high school, then I watched the music video in an Internet café in high school, and then when I saw "The Godfather" when I was in college, I realized that this song must have been inspired by this movie.
He is the best composer in the world, no one can surpass him by now.
Thank you for your reaction!
This song was ahead of it's time.
What's great about Jay is that he does all kinds of genre. I'd love to see you react to Jay Chou's Nocturne. Though you might enjoy "Bed Time Story" or "Extra Large Shoes" better.
I'm a simple minded person,when I see jay chou, I just click🤣🤣🤣🤣I hope one day u make a video about jay chou’s singing voice from the beginning to now days since jay chou’s voice is so damaged now and analysis some of his most recent songs, tells us the difference between the old jay chou style and the damaged voice style
Hey, Joe. Really enjoyed this video. Well done! :)
Thank you so much! Love your username haha!
@@JoeCreator Haha. ☺️Thank you! ❤️
This is my absolute favorite from him. Master piece
This song is made plenty years ago judging on 2022. Back to the year of this song none of the artist create as talent as him. You shall judge back on those years of all competitior lol
Also, its best to focus on the melody of the song and not the Music Video. Jay is known as a composer and singer. He once said to treat his vocals as part of a musical instrument in the song.
接近20年的歌啦！啊啊啊！我的青春啊
Joe表述跟形容的能力好强
Five bangs from a revolver at the end of the interlude (which sound contradictory to the beat and questionable at first) is perfected by the last bang at the second chorus. It is like firing out the last bullet to get the job done. The arrangement of Jay's earlier songs do have some irreplaceable creativity.
Finally someone notice this. Also, dont forget about his creativity of utilizing the italian praying phases and woman screaming in the middle of the song. An unsurpassable artist indeed
He is Jay Chou,
We called him
The Mad of the century, The king 👑 of Mandopop!
joe好专业 多做点视频 很喜欢听你的解说分析！！！！！！！
this whole album is a master piece.... jay got a lot of love because of this album... great job jay... 👏👏👏👏👏
I luv your reviews ! Music is supposed to be beyond the language barrier; and I see your sound critique is very solid :)
This is my childhood song, In Thailand this song is so famous.
I like your professional review of the song3. I think you have to try the song“她的睫毛 Her eyelashes”. No matter how many times I listen to this song, I feel incredible! More than ten years later, I am still in awe and love of this beautiful and impressive music. I recommend it to you! You have to try!
Love your review Joe. Other Jay songs that might be interesting for you would be my favorite "Extra Large Shoes" with its Charlie Chaplin theme because it's just so creative and fun and the lyrics are insightful; or my second fav "Bedtime Stories" just because not only does it have a really catchy beatbut the mv gives me a sort of a cool halloweeny slash alice-in-wonderland type of vibe and has some really clever artsy elements to it😎
Great stuff 👍
Thanks 😉
不知为何，每当听到“荣耀的背后 刻着一道孤独”就会想到 街霸里的豪鬼。有人和我有一样的感受吗？
Amazing this songs ❤ unbelievable Crete music like this...
Also thanks u
Hello, Joe! I really like the detail of your comments and how you disassemble the song to let us know how many elements in one song. After watching your videos and I began to pay attention all the details and the combination, and I am wondering this two songs. Is it possible to compare the song between Joy Division - Transmission and Oaeen (魚丁系) - Regret (後悔莫及).
Actually, as a Taiwanese, I can't understand his lyrics without the subtitles, but the melody is really awesome.
Most of 方文山's lyrisc are hard to understand lol
这么伟大的作品，那年竟然什么奖也没得到。估计这就是时代的隔阂吧。
Great stuff
Can’t believe you can get the meaning just from the melody and singing stuff. Cause I know the language so I could get more info from it. But If you can understand what the lyrics mean, you will know the mv is a short movie. It’s a similar story as
Jay's Flow still kickin every Chinese rapper ass Nowadays! Sick huh
这mv绝对帮这首歌加分不少，制作太精致了，编曲起伏即意外又合理。
I can never recommend Jay enough to others cuz my youth is all about him
