Before year 2008, I was not a fan of Chinese Songs. I do not know who Jay was. I was pretty ignorant towards the Chinese music industry. Mainly because, I am a 'banana'...which means I do not know Chinese.
It started back in year 2008, I think...My first karaoke session with my group of friends. I have some friends who can speak & read Chinese, and one of them sung one of Jay's song. I got kind of attracted to one of his song, mainly from the Music Video. Asked my friend who was this and they replied 'Jay Chou la! So famous also you don't know!?'
So at night I went home and tried goggling for Jay Chou. As I am a Banana, it took me quite a long time to search for the song I heard at the Karaoke. But I remembered some part of the lyrics, "Gei wo, gei wo"
I guess it was pure luck, I typed it out and I found it.
As noob as I can be, I do not understand a thing.
The title was "Gei Wo Yi Shou Ge De Shi Jian"??
I do understand what 'Gei wo' means, it means Give. But give what???
I do understand what 'Gei wo' means, it means Give. But give what???
Then I goggled the translated lyrics, and it says "Spare Me the Time of a Song".
Undoubtedly, I was attracted to his song title. Like 'Wow man! You're better than Shakespeare'
I talked to myself and his picture on my screen, "Alright, I will spare you 5 minutes...Impress me'
I clicked Play....Replay....Replay and Replay...... and Download.
I felled in love with Jay over that ONE Song. It might sound as if I exaggerated, but really I did. Until today, that song is still on my top play list.
I started searching for more of his songs...
Getting to know more about Jay, that he was actually so talented in Music.
He can play super lotsa Music Instrument, he can sing, he compose songs....
I started learning Chinese because of his songs.
In teenage life, most of his songs were pretty meaningful and it somehow tells a story.
Life is like pieces of puzzles, life is like art, you have colourful moments, you have your darkest moments, you can have a complete puzzle or a broken one.
Just like music, it is also a work piece of art.
Jay's music put together not all, but some very important part of my life.
A few of his songs that I love till today...

A few of his songs that I love till today...
#1. Gei Wo Yi Shou Ge De Shi Jian
#2. Wo Bu Pei (I'm Not Worthy)
#3.Shuō Hăo De Xìng Fú Ne (Where is the promised happiness?)
#4. Cai Hong (Rainbow)
Everybody can draw, but nobody can draw like Picasso.
So everybody can sing, but nobody can write and sing like Jay.
And that is why Jay's music is an Opus, a true work of art.
You Know What Jay, I never regretted giving you the time of a song =)
