Why do many people say that Jay Chou's fast song determines the height, and the slow song has absolute breadth?
After listening to Jay Chou for so many years, I still think that his slow songs are irreplaceable, just like God took a pen to help him write, really can sing into my heart, such as maple, stranding, coral sea, seven incense, sunny days, trajectories, broken strings, back to the past, etc. Putting aside his singing skills, the melody is single out, really, it is difficult for anyone in the Chinese music scene to write a melody that can be satisfied, ear-catching, touching, but not tired of listening.
First of all, there are only seven notes, and I think it is more difficult to make a shocking melody than a fast song, and it really needs a stroke of God, and it is a flash of inspiration. Indeed, in the name of the Father, the seventh chapter of the night, and the greatest works now are very good, the arrangement and lyrics need to be carefully crafted, so that the creative space is larger, and the composition is mainly a change of flow, and the chorus is followed by a classical melody, which I think is easier for the talented Jay Chou.
Mainly I resented the fact that professional music critics disparaged his slow songs as merely a means of dissemination. Slow songs are indeed easier to write in comparison, and may play a few chords and hum a few melodic songs to come out. But that kind of melody that hits the soul and evokes memories, you say I don't believe it without God's help.
Finally, I would like to say that fast songs are more creative, creative in arrangement, creative in lyrics, and creative in composition. And a good slow song is better than the soul of a musician.
