Jay Chou can be said to be the youth of most of the post-90s, and even people like my mother who never read the news know him.
Have you ever copied his lyrics in junior high school? Have you ever written his lyrics into an essay?
Today I will use big data to analyze a wave of all his lyrics and take you to know a Jay Chou that you have never met before.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" gets all the lyrics of Jay Chou ></h1>
This thing is actually not difficult, we write a code to automatically collect from QQ music on the line. It is also sad to say that I have been using NetEase Cloud Music before, and then Jay Chou's copyright is gone, and I can only devote myself to QQ Music.
I have open sourced the code, and I don't have to run it myself, and I have placed the lyrics file below:
https://github.com/godweiyang/lyric-crawler/tree/master/output
There are two lyric files in it that are about Jay Chou: Jay Chou's Lyrics .txt and Jay Chou's Song Title .txt, which respectively preserve the lyrics of all the songs he has sung since his debut and the names of songs classified by album, excluding concerts and Live versions, respectively.
A total of "174" songs! This number is already quite a lot, of course, including jolin Tsai and his two songs: "Chivalry" and "Prague Square", as well as Li Wei's "Knife and Horse Dan" and so on, I also counted.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" >who composes the most? </h1>
After a simple count, it can be surprisingly found that among the 174 songs, Jay Chou himself composed as many as 171 songs!
The three songs that were not composed by herself were "Painted Sand" composed by Yuan Yonglin, "Try" composed by Pai Weijun, and "You Are My OK Bandage" composed by Funky Monkey Babys.
Old Jay fans should all know how bullish Jaylen's composition is. As soon as "Nocturne" sounded, he went on stage to receive the award, and the words of the award were exhausted. To this day the song is still ringing on my phone.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > who writes the most lyrics? </h1>
Statistics can be found that the top five composers are:
Fang Wenshan: 96 songs
Jay Chou: 42 songs
Huang Junlang: 15 songs
Xu Ruoxuan: 6 songs
Song Jianzhang: 4 songs
Everyone should know that Jay Chou's best partner is Fang Wenshan. It can be said that Fang Wenshan and Jay Chou have achieved each other, and Fang Wenshan's Chinese style with Last Week's Jaylen's song is simply a heaven and earth harmony.
And Jaylen's own lyrics of the song is not a few, although many people spit on his "Wait for you to get out of class" and "Don't love me to pull down" Lyrics are simple and earthy, but it is undeniable that he can also write such god-level songs as "Sunny Day" and "Daoxiang".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" > Jay Chou's most commonly used words</h1>
I counted all the lyrics of Jay Chou and generated a word cloud:
The five words that Jaylen uses most often can be seen are:
leave
recall
smile
world
Love
Jay Chou's early stages were basically bitter love songs, and it is not surprising that these words are often used. For example, in "BackIng Back", "The sky is gray like crying, after leaving you, there is no, more freedom", "I want to ask again, will you wait or leave" in "Sunny Days", "Don't let you leave, the distance can't be separated, thoughts become the sea, you can't come in outside the window" in "Sea of Flowers", and so on.
In the later stage, especially after marriage, this kind of song basically disappeared, more is the sweet song of "Confession Balloon": "Flower Shop Rose, whose name is written wrong, Confession Balloon, the wind blows to the opposite street, smiles fly in the sky."
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33" > Jay Chou's favorite season</h1>
What season does Jaylen love most? From all his lyrics, it can be counted that the number of times the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter appear is:
Spring: 7 times
Summer: 17 times
Autumn: 33 times
Winter: 18 times
It can be seen that Jay Chou's favorite season is actually autumn and winter, which is also in line with the fact that most of his songs are bitter love songs. A song in "Maple" "The slowly falling maple leaves are like thoughts, why should we save before winter comes", which is very sad. This song has also become one of the most difficult songs sung by Jay Chou, who has hardly sung it in concerts.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="40" > Jay Chou's favorite weather</h1>
A rough count, Jay Chou's favorite three weathers are:
Rainy days: 150 times
Snow days: 31 times
Sunny: 12 times
Among them, rainy days are more frequent visitors, "On the day of the wind, I tried to hold your hand, but the rain gradually, so big that I can't see you", "Give me a song time" in "The rain wet the sky, ruined very exquisitely, you say you don't understand, why hold hands at this time". Rain is the most memorable item, so it has become Jaylen's favorite.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="46" > Jay Chou's favorite mood</h1>
People have four moods, mood and sorrow, analysis of the mood words that appear in Jay Chou's lyrics, commonly used are the following:
Hi (happy): 17 times
Anger (anger, anger): 10 times
Grief (sadness, sorrow): 41 times
Le (happy): 32 times
It can be seen that Jay Chou expressed the most emotions is mourning, followed by music, in fact, this is also caused by too many bitter love songs in the early stage. For example, the first sentence of "Black Humor" is "sad because it has been stuffy for a long time, because I have thought too much, and it is the psychology that plays a role", as the main song in the first album, it was already on the road of bitter love songs.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="53" > comparison of Jay Chou's songs around 2010</h1>
Many people on the Internet hold a view that since Jay Chou's "Cross-Era" album in 2010, the quality of his album has declined significantly. Many people also ridiculed this, saying that Jiang Lang was exhausted and so on. So is this really the case? We still speak with data.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" > common word variations</h1>
First, let's take a look at the changes in the most common words around 2010:
Before 2010
After 2010
You can see that the most commonly used words before 2010 were: departure, memory, smile, time, and after 2010, the most commonly used words became: hey, father-in-law, world, I will, smile, lean on. It can be seen that the wording after 2010 has obviously become less than before 2010, which is also normal, and the later Fang Wenshan's lyrics for Jay Chou are not as much as before.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="60" > word changes</h1>
So how many words did Fang Wenshan compose for Jay Chou in the later period? I counted the number of words written by Wen Shan and Jay Chou before 2010:
Before 2010: 52 songs by Fang Wenshan and 20 songs by Jay Chou, a total of 93 songs
After 2010: Fang Wenshan 29 songs, Jay Chou 16 songs, a total of 56 songs
It can be seen that the number of Jay Chou's works has decreased a lot after 2010, and he has not even released an album in recent years. There was no way, and Jaylen was no small, but his divinity was already enough to make it difficult to surpass.
After 2010, although the total number of lyrics by Fang Wenshan has decreased significantly, the proportion is still very high, and the proportion of Jay Chou's own lyrics has increased a lot. This also attacked those who said that Jay Chou had a bad relationship with Fang Wenshan after he became famous, and the last album "Jay Chou's Bedside Story", Fang Wenshan also composed a full 6 lyrics for Jay Chou!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="66" > be the best version of yourself</h1>
Jay Chou led the Chinese pop music scene after 2000, creating a precedent for Chinese style songs, and many songs still feel ahead of the entire era.
He has always adhered to his own style, and many of his songs are educational. "Daoxiang" tells about missing his hometown, "The Death of The End of the War" tells about the desire for peace, "Listen to Mother's Words" tells about gratitude to his mother, and so on. "A Thousand Mountains and Thousands of Rivers" is even more collected by the National Museum, and he has also become the only solo singer in the Beijing Olympic Games.
Just like Jay Chou sang in "Turkish Ice Cream", the showmanship and cattle batch are finished, and to do it is different:
Who said that when shooting Chinese style, you must come with a lantern
Whoever said to write Chinese style must be Shangjiao Zhengyu Palace
I simply got out of the car myself and directed the traffic in the music world
Whatever style he cares about
This is also a showy song in the album "Jay Chou's Bedside Story" in which Jay Chou single-handedly composed lyrics, composition and arrangement. Unlike the "Confession Balloon" written to cater to the public, this song expresses Jay Chou's own personality, and the arrangement is also very powerful.
Thank you Jay Chou, thank you for appearing in my youth. If I had a chance, I would definitely go to one of your concerts!
