initially
this song appears to be
quite incomprehensible
in my understanding
or I would have posted this long time ago
seriously
the feeling is quite indescribable
song title,
a ballad
《千紙鶴》, origami paper crane
which I just found out via the song
there is a belief that
by folding one daily for a thousands days
it would bring happiness to
the one you love
that’s how the name is derived
music composition,
mystical R&B
very Khalil Fong
lyric,
oriental romance,
by 方文山 Jay Chou’s long time partner lyricist
and there’s this rap
music video,
directed by Endy Chow 周國賢
vintage,
“new-school dance party”
yet definitely in contrast with the oriental lyric
then finally I came to a tiny discovery that
that’s collaboration / crossover
at its very best
Khalil Fong X 方文山
both as the way they are
without having to comprise each other
just because of the song
yet manage to be blended into one
without getting into each other’s ways
that’s after listening to it for a couple of time
the same thing goes to the music video too
who sets the rule that
music video and lyric
must always go hand-in-hand
妳的美遊走在
兩個世代
兩個不同美學那種年代
that paragraph of lyric kinda explain
that feeling
(ain’t no professional translator, just roughly translating)
your beauty is lingering
in between two eras
the ages of two different aestheticism
