"A woman's unique talent for innocence and gentleness should be reserved for those who really love you ..."
"Although love is a responsibility, you must give it completely. Sometimes love for beauty can't last forever ..."
How charming love is, how hurtful it is. If you love bravely, you must be brave ...?
It is hard to imagine that a rugged man with a full face of beard, small eyes, big face and black-rimmed glasses can write such delicate and gentle lyrics, such as the heart of an intellectual woman who is tortured by all kinds of love and sad and indifferent.
Jonathan Lee, what kind of person is he and what kind of heart does he have?
Washan boss's son
Jonathan Lee was born in an ordinary family, the son of an ordinary gas boss. He is ugly, his grades are poor, and he is used to being a supporting role and is not taken seriously. But it is these experiences that unconsciously formed his sensitive and low-key personality background. Perhaps this is precisely the origin of this excellent songwriter's talent.
Jonathan Lee said that Three Events of A Zong is his favorite work. "Three Things About A Zong" tells about his hard and persistent youth, his confusion about the future after failing to enter the university, and the pressure he suffered in music creation, but at the same time encourages himself to be able to do it. He has had peaks and valleys, and experienced various ups and downs. He always remembers the first lyric of Three Things in Azong: "I am the son of an angry boss".
Know women better than women.
Many of Jonathan Lee's works are about women. Jonathan Lee has three sisters, and now she has three daughters. Except her father, even the servants are women. Such an environment makes him grow up in a relatively negative environment, and he can sensitively capture what women think next. He also said it might have something to do with the dark and insidious side of his cancer. Perhaps his circuitous and euphemistic side echoes the uneasy, indirect and depressed things in women's hearts.
Some things you don't have to ask now, and some people you never have to wait for? -"When I Wake Up"
"If a woman is not loved, how sad it will be, that is, someone will cry when listening to my songs ..."-"Don't care who I am"
I loved someone I shouldn't have loved, and I was hurt. I have no courage to love again. I don't know what to do in the future, but I still have to bear the pain and continue to live with scars. That's the nature of women. They all have the same weakness and are soft-hearted. Love and hate will never be separated, and they will always be full of contradictions, but Jonathan Lee saw the weak side of women. ...
Loneliness is the most unbearable.
Zhang Aijia, a good friend, said that the word "loneliness" often appeared in Xiao Li's songs. Jonathan Lee said, "People are born lonely. That's what people do. No matter how many friends and lovers he has, he always feels lonely in his heart, so he always pursues them. Maybe I, too, always feel lonely ... "
"Loneliness is unbearable, loneliness is unbearable, love is the hardest waiting, and love is the farthest future ..."-"Loneliness is unbearable"
"Although I am always surrounded by people, I will miss your care and gentleness after the song; Forgive me for not promising anything, I will love you just because, because of loneliness ... "? -"Because of loneliness"
Many people think that falling in love just needs each other. Because of loneliness, this may be the home of many emotional problems. Women can't stand being left out, and always want to have a sustenance when they are empty, so women long for love and marriage. Men don't express their feelings as freely as women. A man's loneliness is like wanting to smoke a cigarette when he is bored, but he can't find the smell of that cigarette. Because of loneliness, lovers never seem to say anything, but they seem to understand each other.
Sensibility and rationality in love
Most of the songs written by Jonathan Lee are still about love. Many popular songs are his life experiences and feelings, and many songs also reflect the true portrayal of his emotional life at that time, so Jonathan Lee's requirements for emotional stimulation are different from ordinary people.
Tayu Lo spoke highly of Jonathan Lee, saying that his music made "men more like men and women more like women". Jonathan Lee's love is too emotional. He thinks everyone has feelings. When writing, he should try to be natural and write out people's feelings. Songs are not good or bad, only true and false.
Jonathan Lee once said in an interview that it is risky for a girl to marry a musician and a filmmaker. To marry an emotional music composer who writes love songs, this woman needs great tolerance, because they have a good excuse-inspiration. In music, Jonathan Lee wrote "Let me rejoice and let me worry" and "Love is like a tide", but in reality he said that he was a very rational person. Jonathan Lee was married twice and divorced twice. He said that he is a rational person and is also interested in love. After his rational analysis of love, he emotionally expressed it to the audience in his songs; Writing songs is not based on inspiration, which is useless, just like love. It depends on rational analysis of what others have not seen. In other words, his songs are all about the beauty of love that he can't complete in his life.
The reason why Jonathan Lee and Sandy Lam divorced has always been a mystery. Is it the phrase "emotion trumps reason" on a cloudy day, or did they realize the true meaning of love in the song "Understanding"? Maybe no one here can tell right from wrong.
Remember my childhood dream, like a flower that never dies, to accompany me through the storm, to see the impermanence of the world and the vicissitudes of life? -The price of love
I was sad and wept, and my heart was broken, so I was as tender as water, and I regretted it irrationally. This is the "price of love" in Jonathan Lee's eyes.
