Foreign Musician Evaluates Jonathon Lee's Newly Written Old Song - An Emotional Rollercoaster

[@acct1345]

從「他不等你，已來不及」到「他等過你，已來不及」，這兩段只差幾個字的排比，第一段平鋪直敘，讓你覺得人生就是這樣，給你一點無奈。然而第二段「他等過你」直接措手不及的把「已來不及」的責任直接倒在你的身上，讓人無法再自欺欺人的 認為錯不在自己，整個情緒直接湧出。 然而更厲害的是，這段在旋律上是如此平和，卻直擊人心，後面再留一段空白過場旋律，讓你調整自己的情緒。

[@haichengeng4842]

老李这手在老早情情爱爱的歌中早已驾轻就熟

[@TheFullintime]

「雖然我的追求，他無能也無力參與」 曾經的我很難和父親溝通，談論目己，我知道他解決不了我的問題，所以不想和他多提。 後來的我才明白，他都看在眼裡，他看著我的生活經歷，他在背後難過自己給不了我幫助。 「兩個男人終其一生只是長得像而已，幸運的成為知就，不幸的成為甲乙。」 因為兩個人都有自我主見，在對話上也強勢，談論不歡而散的時間大過相談甚歡， 所以沈默成了我們見面最常的畫面。 「爸 我想你了」 這是一首跨時代的歌，年輕時不懂曲中意，聽懂時已是曲中人。

[@binyang4199]

To be honest, this is the first time I've listened to a song by Jonathan Lee, but I was completely moved by it, and I was in tears while listening. In Chinese culture, the relationship between father and son is often quite serious, and they typically do not express their feelings to each other directly. Fathers are often strict, and sons usually only share good news while keeping any difficulties to themselves, hoping to achieve something significant to gain their father's approval. However, it is often only when one becomes a father oneself that one truly understands the challenges of the role. Many times, before they have the chance to express their feelings to their father or receive their father's explicit approval, their father has already passed away. This song is truly wonderful!

[@kenttan1784]

Huge fan of Jonathan! Big props for the lyrics translation to fit the melody lines. I did a take on it with some nuanced changes closer to Mandarin. 比起母親的總是憂心忡忡 是啊 Compared to mom's constant worrying, yeah 他更像是個若無其事的 旁觀者 He's more like an unbothered onlooker 刻意拘謹的旁觀者 Overtly-restrained onlooker 遺憾 我從未將他寫進我的歌 Regretfully, I’ve never written him in my songs 然而 天曉得這意味些什麼 But God knows what this mean 然後我 一下子也活到 容易落淚的歲了 And I so swiftly lived till the age that’s vulnerable to tears 當徒勞人世糾葛 When I'm done labouring on futile entanglements 兌現成風霜皺褶 That turn into frosty wrinkles 爸 我想你了 Pa, I miss you 到臨老 纔想到要反省父子關係 Till this old, only I reckoned to reflect on our father-and-son relationship 說真的 其實在回答自己 Honestly, I'm just answering it for myself 敷衍了半生的命題 The question I glossed over half my life 沈甸甸的命題 The heavy question 它在這裡 將我拽回過去 It's here, to pull me back to the past 像個終於靈驗的咒語 Like a spell that finally evoked 那些年只顧自己 Those years I only cared for myself 雖然我的追求他 無能 Though my pursuits, he's inept, 也無力參與 And (too) feeble to get in 只記得 我很著急 I can only recall I was very rushed 也許 因為這樣 沒能聽見他微弱的嘉許 Maybe that's why I couldn't hear his faint praise 我知道 他肯定得意 I know he must’ve been glad 只是 等不到機會 Just, couldn’t wait till the chance 當面跟我提 To tell me in person 思念其實不是 Reminiscence is actually not... 不是這個歌的主題 Not the theme of this song 我相信不只有我 I believe I'm not the only one 在回憶時覺得吃力 Who struggles to reminisce 兩個男人 Two men 極有可能終其一生只是長得像而已 most likely only get to look like each other their whole life 有幸運的 成為知己 Some lucky ones, become soulmates 有不幸的 只能是甲乙 Some unfortunates, just become Tom and Dicks 若是你同意 天下父親多數都平凡得可以 If you agree, most fathers are rather ordinary 也許你就會捨不得再追根究底 Then maybe you’ll be reluctant, to get to the bottom of everything 我記得自己 I remember that I... 當庸碌無為的日子悄然如約而至 When the mundane days silently, as promised, arrived 我只顧卑微地喘息 I only managed to pant lowly 甚至沒有陪他 失去呼吸 And didn't even accompany him, when he lost his breath 一首新寫的舊歌 A newly written, old song 它早該寫了 Should've been written earlier 寫一個人子 和逝去的父親講和 To write about a son and his late father, making amends 我早已想不起 吹噓過的風景 I’ve long forgotten the scenes I bragged about 而總是記著他 混濁的眼睛 Yet I always remember his cloudy eyes 用我不敢直視的認真表情 With a serious face that I dare not stare directly 那麼艱難地掙扎著前行 And how hard he struggled to move forward 一首新寫的舊歌 A newly written, old song 不怕你曉得 那個以前的小李 Ain't afraid to let you know, the Lil’ Lee (himself) of the past 曾經有多傻呢 How foolish was he 先是擔心 自己沒出息 First, worried about being unsuccessful 然後費盡心機想有驚喜 Then went all out, hoping for a surprise 等到好像終於活明白了 Wait and live till I finally seem to figure life out 已來不及 It was too late 他不等你 已來不及 He no longer waits for you, it's too late 他等過你 已來不及 He waited for you, it's all too late. 一首新寫的舊歌 A newly written, old song. 怎麼把人心攪得 How it stirs a man's heart 讓滄桑的男人 拿酒當水喝 Making an old stoic man, to drink wine like water 往事像一場自己演的電影 The past is like a movie I act 說的是平凡父子的感情 It talks about the ordinary kinship of a father-and-son 兩個看來容易卻難以入戲的角色 Two roles that seem easy, but hard to get into characters 能有多少共鳴？ How much can they relate? 一首新寫的舊歌 A newly written, old song. 怎麼就這麼巧了 How coincidental? 知道誰藏好的心 還有個缺角呢 It finds the crack in one's well-hidden heart 我當這首歌是給他的獻禮 I would take this song as a tribute to him 但願他正在某處微笑看自己 And wish that he's somewhere smiling, looking at me 有一天當我乘風去見你 One day when I rode the wind to meet you 再聊聊 這歌裡 We'll talk again, about what this song 來不及說 couldn't say in time 的千言萬語 Those millions of words 下一次 That time 我們都不缺席 We won't be absent 比起母親的總是憂心忡忡 是啊 Compared to mom's constant worrying, yeah 他更像是個若無其事的 旁觀者 He's more like an unbothered onlooker 刻意拘謹的旁觀者 An overtly-restrained onlooker 爸，请你从此安心 Pa, may you be in peace from now on 呆在我的歌 And rest in my song

[@derrychen6923]

I feel that I can 100% resonate with his lyrics. I feel that discussing his lyrics writing or singing method is not enough to explain the resonance of this song to the hearts of Chinese people. I am not saying that non-Chinese speakers cannot resonate, but if you Growing up in a Chinese family, the resonance you will feel after listening to this song will be beyond words. In Chinese culture, the father-son relationship is an extremely complex topic, but it is rarely mentioned, because it is neither as direct as maternal love, nor unlike some fathers in Western society who have been completely missing since the childhood. It has always existed, but it is not only the father's Love, as well as the same strictness and care as a master has for his apprentice, always feel that there is a sense of distance, respect and awe exist at the same time. When I became a father and had a child, I found that I became more and more like my father . I was always very strict with my son, but I was stingy in expressing my love for my son, even if my son did very well. I just smiled and said, well done. After listening to this song, I hope to give my father and son a big hug and tell them that I love them and that I hope that from now on I can be the best son and father in their hearts.

Joe、这几乎是我几年来看到的唯一可以从中文歌曲的旋律和歌词中理解和感受到那种深情的reaction节目。

I agree, Jonathan Lee is so good at songwriting and delivering it. What a great piece of work. Please review him more.

[@eileenx5185]

Thank for sharing this one. I have to say your translator did an excellent job on lyrics translation of this song. As an native Chinese language speaker, I found reading the translated English lyrics deepened the understanding of the meaning of the song. Your comments are so spot on too, I get to appreciate it from different layers like song writing and music arrangement perspectives. The fact that you are feeling what this song about just shows the power of music is beyond language, culture, and any barrier. Again thanks for picking Johnathon's piece. He is an legend in Chinese pop music realm. He himself describe his pieces created at younger age were more like "fireworks", while nowadays his pieces are more like "depth charge". -- Exactly as this one.

[@adrienkwong]

Yeah the translation is astonishingly good! We as native Chinese speakers often forget how meaningful and beautiful some words and idioms are. But by reading them again in English, it just reminds me how beautiful the writing is.

[@cwlin1331]

Thank you for made this video. I sent this video to my father and told him "thank you father", "It's great that I have a father like you.". He said "這樣我會不好意思". (laugh) It's typical Taiwanese father that shy to express emotions. Anyway, THANK YOU AGAIN.

[@EdricHsu]

This song really spoke to me and got me very emotional. I had a similar relationship with my late dad, and he was exactly as the song described. We had slowly reconciled in his later years after throat cancer took away his voice, but I wish I had the wisdom and humility back then to resolve our issues long before it’s too late…

[@Jioshirandom]

This song is such a love letter to Jonathan's late father, seeking to reconcile their relationship. In Chinese / Taiwanese culture, expressing feelings to our parents is often so challenging, and parents also struggle to show their love to their children. The focus is usually on wanting the kids to be successful rather than building an emotional connection. Sadly, we often recognize the importance of this connection only after when it is too late. I deeply resonate with this regret and guilt. We were never taught the languages of love, such as words of affirmation, physical touch, and quality time. I am grateful that Jonathan has been able to transcribe this profound emotional journey into a song we can all relate to and bury ourselves in uncontrollable tears. Joe, watching your videos has been such an incredible experience. Your analysis of the music, the instruments, the composition, and the layering, along with your insights into the style and personal appreciation for the music, have been immensely helpful. They enable me to digest and comprehend the music in a more constructive and analytical way, helping me break it down and understand the multiple layers of the music. Thank you!

[@jackyuan4363]

Hi Joe, just want to say that I am really impressed by how insightful your interpretation of this song is. Your level of connection to this song is beyond languages and cultures. How your emotions resonate with the emotional ups and downs that Jonathon constructed in this piece is amazing. That, to me, shows that you are a sensitive, empathetic and open minded person. My father passed away on the first day of 2020. You can imagine how complicated my feelings towards this song can be. In a typical 70's Chinese family, the father and son relationships can be painfully close. As much as you would love your father, you want to run away at the same time. Unlike Jonathan, I stayed by my father's side till his last breath. When I heard "Yet still remember his clouded eyes. With a serious face that I dare not to look into, he struggled so hard to move forward" I just burst into tears because I had the exact moment with my father in his later days. I really appreciate this song because it provides me an outlet for all the emotions that I have from the passing of my father. I also resonate with your summaries in this video. Right on! Thanks for the good work. Can't wait for more!

[@frillyobject]

This song...is one that i will cry every time i listened to it.....literally sobbed~

[@banweibo]

Jonathan Lee is my favorite singer, and this song has made me reflect on my father-son relationship, often listening to it and wondering how I should relate to my father.

[@sheepart]

Just like you said, it's as if I've attended a masterclass in art. It taught me how to calm down, slowly savor, and reflect on an ordinary emotion, experiencing the essence of life through the music.A short song, but it encompasses a lifetime of emotion. How can an artist achieve that? It's truly impressive.

[@jefflee2211]

When I was first time listening to this song, I was shocked by the song lyrics barely repeat itself even in the chorus part. Such a story telling song!

[@brendan_bong]

Attended Jonathan Lee's concert at Taipei back in 2021. It was a memorable moment for me when he sang this song. At one point he lightly choked up during the song and proceeded to quickly wiping off his tears during the short instrumental after the line「他等過你 已來不及」. All the memories of his father must've came back to him when he sang this song that night, especially when he was performing in his own hometown on the first day of this concert; making it even more personal and emotional...

[@seandong2880]

He always sings like he's telling us a story，The whole thing is very emotional. Inexplicably touching

[@JoeCreator]

It's a great blend of story telling, poetry, and music!

[@TheoJam1985]

This is one of the most difficult song I have ever learned. In fact you can find my comment under that video as "I hate you so much for how I wish I were able to love you". The lyrics "The two men, most likely will spend their whole life just looking like each other", made me unconsciously weep, unable to proceed all the time, waking the vulnerable little boy up from the deepest bottom of my heart. I had to deliver the song a lot different from his original version when I sang it to my coach. Yet again, Jonathan Lee may not be much into up-to-date art, instead, he is always involved in the eternal topics of humanity

[@leoli5505]

I was in the subway first time listening to this, and paused right after he sang “pa, I miss you”. Couldn’t finish until going in a cafe and sobbing for a while. Thanks for introducing the song.

Everyone may bound to have some regrets with their parents. Mine is not because of anger, dispute or hatred.

We talked on the phone though. But when he pass away so quickly, it left a huge hole in me and I blame myself for not spending enough time with him....

雖然歌很感人，父子感情也很深， 但對於一個仍同住一個屋簷下，父親仍然健在，這輩子卻從來不曾感到父愛的我來說 還是由衷希望大家不會遇到歌詞裡這種類型的父親 尤其希望各位男人們，千萬不要成為這樣子的父親 實在太多遺憾太多誤解太多傷害了 好好學會用正向的、正確的、健康的方式，去表達親情、去愛彼此吧

[@xfwong7082]

所以你还没明白，这世上99%的父亲都是无能而又无力参与儿子的理想和人生，而只能在背后默默的心情.

[@haohao-kb8ze]

@@xfwong7082 99%言之太過吧，現實和網路上也不乏看到能夠給予“充足且健康”的父愛例子，而孩子長大成人依然能夠和父親和諧有愛的相處。 無能又無力？這不就是作為父親該深深檢討的地方嗎？既然選擇要生兒育女，就不該無能無力，做不到就代表沒準備好，那就不該生，管好自己的老二，確實避孕才對。 更何況，若大部分情況下男人無能無力，難道女人就活該要背負一切嗎？這個社會套在女人身上的枷鎖和責任可不比男人少，為何女人就依然能夠給予母愛，男人就只能無能無力？這邏輯也未免雙標了？ 在孩子的成長過程中，父愛和母愛是具備不同功能的，缺乏其中一種都會導致孩子人格建立的不健全，而至少在華人文化中，父愛很多是不足夠的，這現象很常見很習慣，但請不要把常見跟習慣當成理所當然，就好像違法的事情再常見也是違法，並不會因此變成對的。 我本人就是一個缺乏父愛的人，父親對我來說只代表三件事：肢體暴力、言語暴力和冷暴力。你能體會當你什麼事都沒做，就時常莫名遭到極為惡毒仇視的眼神瞪視的感受嗎？這可不是什麼父親的無能無力，更不是什麼只能默默的在背後可以解釋的。是，父親工作賺錢給予家庭物質的保障，但難道母親就沒有嗎？若父親只做得到物質上的供給，那麻煩養寵物就好，不要養人，人需要的東西比寵物複雜太多了。 父親參與不了兒子理想和人生，我相信一定有無奈做不到的，但更多的，其實是不想不願不懂。

[@aran2010127]

歌詞裡的父親只是剛直、寡言、不擅於表達愛意 又怎麼會到你眼中成了不願理解與冷暴力？ 別忘了在過去的年代沒有便捷的交通與快速的通訊方式 紙筆書信往來已是故鄉的父親能給遊子最大的陪伴與對逐夢的認同 您的遭遇本人深表遺憾 但您的感受省悟只屬於您 而不能代表這首歌的意涵

勾起我深層對父親的思念..（渾濁的眼睛）也是我與父親對望最終的凝視，他便離開了我們..謝謝你們提醒了我.我曾有父親愛我、養育我

李宗盛的歌 都會很精準的直擊心中某種情緒 聽著聽著 就會產生共鳴

When I was hearing this song, I felt I was punched from inside.

What an incredible song! The lump in my throat is so painful! There are two other songs that come to mind about the father and son relationship.. Mike and the Mechanics /Paul Carrick : In The Living Years And Jarki Mono : Wet Shave The first is about missed opportunities after the loss of a Father. The second about an absent father. Both hugely emotional. But Jonathan Lee has achieved a piece of perfection with this song and performance, to rival any other! What an incredible song! 😍

說真的，第一次看到JOE這麼推崇一首歌，儼然已經化身為小李的粉絲！但也是因為你，第一次聽到這首歌。雖然這首在小李的意境是父親對於兒子的肯定，同時能感受兒子對父親懷著愧疚，但永遠缺少那最後一面的遺憾，他始終只能靠想像來推演他們父子的和解情解，相信他應該很難原諒他自己吧！也許很多中年人跟我一樣，擁有一個既威嚴且不苟言笑的父親，即便我們父子之間充滿了暴力與要求，可是當臥病在床時，似乎所有過去噩夢的點滴都隨著他的衰老漸漸淡去，我們沒有交惡，但親情淡薄，誦經時沒有一滴眼淚，夢裡見過一次，但聽到小李這首歌，卻能觸動落淚！！btw，推薦小李的另一首"給自己的歌"，期待joe也能聽到！

父亲去年去世，李宗盛悉尼演唱会上这首歌听得泪目……

Lee is a TRUE Master...

[@eh3197]

這是我第一次聽這首歌 在影片裡卻只有想著不要暫停了 讓我聽完

[@irurouni]

Yes. Jonathan Lee's songs are very wise, from themes of personal relationships to social issues. The Godfather of Songs indeed. Can also explore another prolific songwriter (Taiwanese) of similar stature, Luo Da You.

I recommend you listen to Mayday's "頑固Tough" & "乾杯Cheers", and pair it with the MV version. I believe you will like it.

[@augustuschao]

You always have the best review that help me to appreciate those great songs in your videos. By the way, would you mind providing the link of this song with English subtitles? Thanks a lot!

我一直只听山丘，那里还站着一个只为爱情的消失而悲伤的老男人。这让我想到了一生都在歌唱爱情的Leonard Cohen.只有这首歌让我哭了。
