愛情一陣風

愛情⼀陣風 ⼀．這張唱片的主題： 竟然是歌詠愛情和青春。想不到吧？這青春恐怕也是僅有賀爾蒙過剩但情懷不算太單純。翻譯成你們最喜歡講的Vibe⼤概就是：⽤極浪漫的⾳樂糖衣包裹著⼈類⾏為的不確定。 『愛情親像⼀陣風　來無影去無蹤　乎我笑容乎我悲傷　乎我怨嘆在⼼中 』⼆。這張唱片可能的⽬的： 這樣說好了，你本來是個⽂青，打算把那些你在電影裡看到的，⼩說裡讀到的⼈⽣⾦句都寫進你歌詞裡。⽽的確有效，你的⽂青歌迷認出你跟他們是同⼀路的，真好。 然後李權哲可能某天發現，我猜啦，這些狗屁根本都不重要，⾳樂想表達的應該就是⾳樂本⾝，情歌聽了就會濕，不是因為引⽤了羅蘭巴特，就像是最爛的電影裡所有演員總是被導演逼著講⼀堆對⽩，⽽不肯⽤畫⾯來交代現在到底發⽣什麼事。 綜觀這張專輯裡的歌要不就是很直⽩，沒有⼀丁點你想挖掘的隱喻，若聽起來隱晦不明的那些歌，就是真的沒有想告訴你什麼。 甚⾄有⾸歌他在正式版本裡還把歌詞咕噥著唱，因為聽清楚太煩了，你根本就沒在聽⾳樂快承認吧。歌詞可能在他的⼯具箱裡，是店⾨⼝掛著⼀顆⽺頭，吆喝著你進來聽⾳樂，吃狗⾁。 你們還是忍不住想問這⾸歌在講什麼？難道你不就是因為不想聽別⼈講話才聽歌的嗎？Don’t Think, Feeeel! — Bruce LeeAI-CHINGJerry Li Ai-Ching=Love 1. Theme of a Record Called "AI-CHING" Love. Youth. You say: Yeah, OK, whatever. But know this: beyond that, there is something real happening here. Something more than just hormones and "impure" thoughts." There is a true vibe beneath the smooth, sugar-coated shell of these songs, a vibe that cuts to the deepest of all human joys and insecurities. Love's like a gust of wind…it has no shadow, it leaves no markIt makes me smile, it makes me sad, it make me sigh with blame in my heart2. "AI-CHING." The (Likely) Motivation Behind a Record.Or…let's put it this way. There's always the latest young, hip singer. Sees all the cool films, reads all the cool books, and writes all the "clever" lyrics. Yeah, this is it, say hipster fans. This is our story.(Please.)This is just a guess on my part, but I think with AI-CHING, Jerry Li wanted to make something more than empty BS. To me, this is his take on music: we make it to make ourselves feel. A good love song should throw you into ecstasy – or despair. No need to name-check Roland Barthes, or the latest cookie-cutter film or book that "defines a generation." No need for fancy platitudes for people to regurgitate as slogans. A good love song is about that hard-to-define true vibe, where scenes and images – not words – drive the story. Action, motion…emotion. That's Jerry Li's game, to serve it up straight. No twisted metaphors to dig through. No obscure lyrics murmured in half-embarrassment. The jaded will probably say we don't need another record about love. Whatever…Jerry Li ain't listening. He's just doing what Bruce Lee tells us: " Don’t Think, Feeeel! — Bruce Lee"
