Hello everyone, here is Wan Qian, today to talk to you about Jay Chou's classic song "All the Way north".

Released in 2005, "All the Way North" was first included in Jay Chou's album "Initial J" released in Japan, and later included in the album "Chopin in November" in the same year. This song is an interlude composed by Jay Chou for the movie "Head Text D", which is a British rock song.

As a movie soundtrack, this song, whether it is a word or a song, is very compatible with the plot of the movie, so that when the melody of this song sounds, the eyes are full of Jay Chou driving a car and crying.

First look at the lyrics of this song, Fang Wenshan played the sense of picture to the extreme in this song. Looking at the lyrics of the main song alone, it is like a splicing of movie shots. In the actual movie, the picture presented is also like this. The melody and lyrics progressed layer by layer, and the final main song part ended with the sentence "Your collapse is in pieces outside the window", introducing a chorus part.

The chorus part, the film picture and the song interpret each other. Jay Chou holds the steering wheel with one hand, wipes tears with the other hand, the surrounding scene whistles past, the film enters Jay Chou's recollection and Xia Shu's sweet shot, and the lyrics also sing "The past pictures are all my fault", which is indeed very suitable.

In the interlude part of the song, the chords played by the electric guitar are progressively progressive, pushing the aftermath of this emotion to the climax again, and then the music abruptly stops, introducing repetition again, and repeatedly lowering this emotion. The arrangement of this song is Mr. Cai Kejun, who is good at guitar arrangement, as the best arranger who arranged "Free Teaching Video" for Jay Chou and was shortlisted for the Golden Melody Award, Mr. Cai Kejun's arrangement is very online.

In fact, Jay Chou wrote a lot of soundtracks for the film, like he wrote "Chrysanthemum Terrace" and "Golden Armor" for Zhang Yimou's movie "Full of Golden Armor", and also wrote a song of the same name for his self-directed and self-acting movie "The Secret That Cannot Be Said", and at the earliest time he also wrote the song "Broken Strings" for the movie "Looking for Jay Chou", etc. These songs are very good, and they were all songs of fire at the time, but in Wan Qian's heart, only "All the Way to the North" was the most special.

Every time I watch "Head Text D", I see Jay Chou's youthful appearance in the movie, and watch him shyly fall in love in the movie, Wan Qian seems to go back to his youth, back to the same youthful time when I was. So in this case, Jay Chou is really my youth.
So, when is Jay Chou ready to release his new album?
