There is also a shadow of dark wind in "Bedside Story"
The reason why it is called the "Dark Trilogy" is mainly because the style of the song is very "offbeat", different from the widely popular style, but with a bit of "dark" elements in it. Fans generally have no objection to "In the Name of the Father" and "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" being selected for the "Dark Trilogy", but have different views on the determination of the last song.
The main points of view are "Nocturne", "Fort William" and "The Death of the War".
Today, I will review the "Dark Trilogy" and discuss why they are so highly regarded.
I. "Fort William"
Vines and plants, crawling all over the count's grave. The castle was deserted, covered with weedy dirt.
The song was included on Jaylen's 2001 album Fantasia. Without telling you, who would have thought that this song would be the work of a newcomer to the music scene on his second album? Dare to release such a song in the second year of his debut, Jay Chou's talent and conceit have not needed too much explanation.
I remember the first time I listened to this song, I was completely attracted by the lyrics: Sleepy, can the song still be written like this? And the final rap was added by Jay Chou temporarily when recording... And Jay Chou also opened the prelude to his "Dark Wind" through this song. Fang Wenshan won the Golden Melody Award for Best Lyricist for this song.
II. "In the Name of the Father"
Merciful Father I have fallen into the kingdom of sin, please forgive my conceit.
This "Divine Comedy" was included in Jay Chou's 2003 album Ye Huimei. This song is Jay Chou's first collaboration with Huang Junlang.
The song is mainly about the father, the godfather, and the heavenly father.
And "behind the glory is carved a loneliness" illustrates a simple truth: success comes at a price. At the time of the release of the song, more than 800 million people around the world listened to it, so July 16 was positioned as "Jay Chou Day".
III. "The Death of The Cessation of war"
What is the shape of hope in the eyes of children? Do you wake up with bread for breakfast and drink a bowl of hot soup?
The song, included in 2004's "Seven Mile Fragrance", has not received the attention he deserves in Bubble's view.
As far as his theme, anti-war, is concerned, it is enough to be included in the manual, how many people can have this kind of heart to write anti-war songs in an environment like our country?
IV. Nocturne
Play Chopin's nocturne for you to commemorate my dead love. It sounds like the night wind, and the heartbreak is very good.
This "love song" included in 2005's "Chopin in October", "Nocturne" is called a dark song, the most important thing is that he commemorates "dead love".
This song does not need to explain too much about the "award harvester" of the year. It has become a classic in the hearts of countless Jay fans.
V. The Seventh Chapter of the Night
If evil, it is a gorgeous and cruel movement. Then the end of it, I will write it myself.
The song, included in 2006's "Still Fantasia", is also a song co-written by Zhou Dong and Huang Junlang. Here Bubbles also has to admire Huang Junlang's "imagination".
I believe that this kind of detective song is difficult to have a second song, let alone surpass. In addition, it is mv, which can be said to be a micro-movie. And his mv can also be said to help the listener better understand the song.
It has been 17 years since the release of "Fort William", but Baozi regrets to see that the Chinese music scene has not yet emerged a young musician like Jay Chou at that time. Although I see Jaylen's shadow in some newcomers, their achievements are still too limited.
Although I am also an amateur "Jie Blow", I also feel that Jaylen's songs are enough for me to listen to for a lifetime, but I still hope that a singer will stand up and take the responsibility in Jaylen's hands and lead the Chinese music scene to continue to move forward.
