專輯介紹

愛情一陣風

一．這張唱片的主題：
竟然是歌詠愛情和青春。想不到吧？只不過這吟遊詩人有點多情有點渣，而這青春恐怕也是僅有賀爾蒙過剩但情懷不算太單純。翻譯成你們最喜歡講的Vibe大概就是：用極浪漫的音樂糖衣包裹著人類行為的不確定。

『愛情親像一陣風　來無影去無蹤
　乎我笑容乎我悲傷　乎我怨嘆在心中 』

二。這張唱片可能的目的：
這樣說好了，你本來是個文青，打算把那些你在電影裡看到的，小說裡讀到的人生金句都寫進你歌詞裡。而的確有效，你的文青歌迷認出你跟他們是同一路的，真好。

然後李權哲可能某天發現，我猜啦，這些狗屁根本都不重要，音樂想表達的應該就是音樂本身，情歌聽了就會濕，不是因為引用了羅蘭巴特，就像是最爛的電影裡所有演員總是被導演逼著講一堆對白，而不肯用畫面來交代現在到底發生什麼事。

綜觀這張專輯裡的歌要不就是很直白，沒有一丁點你想挖掘的隱喻，若聽起來隱晦不明的那些歌，就是真的沒有想告訴你什麼。

甚至有首歌他在正式版本裡還把歌詞咕噥著唱，因為聽清楚太煩了，你根本就沒在聽音樂快承認吧。歌詞可能在他的工具箱裡，是店門口掛著一顆羊頭，吆喝著你進來聽音樂，吃狗肉。

你們還是忍不住想問這首歌在講什麼？
難道你不就是因為不想聽別人講話才聽歌的嗎？

AI-CHING
Jerry Li

Ai-Ching=Love

1. Theme of a Record Called "AI-CHING"

Love. Youth. You say: Yeah, OK, whatever. But know this: beyond that, there is something real happening here. Something more than just hormones and "impure" thoughts." There is a true vibe beneath the smooth, sugar-coated shell of these songs, a vibe that cuts to the deepest of all human joys and insecurities.

Love's like a gust of wind…it has no shadow, it leaves no mark
It makes me smile, it makes me sad, it make me sigh
with blame in my heart


2. "AI-CHING." The (Likely) Motivation Behind a Record.

Or…let's put it this way. There's always the latest young, hip singer. Sees all the cool films, reads all the cool books, and writes all the "clever" lyrics. Yeah, this is it, say hipster fans. This is our story.

(Please.)

This is just a guess on my part, but I think with AI-CHING, Jerry Li wanted to make something more than empty BS. To me, this is his take on music: we make it to make ourselves feel. A good love song should throw you into ecstasy – or despair. No need to name-check Roland Barthes, or the latest cookie-cutter film or book that "defines a generation." No need for fancy platitudes for people to regurgitate as slogans. A good love song is about that hard-to-define true vibe, where scenes and images – not words – drive the story.

Action, motion…emotion. That's Jerry Li's game, to serve it up straight. No twisted metaphors to dig through. No obscure lyrics murmured in half-embarrassment.

The jaded will probably say we don't need another record about love. Whatever…Jerry Li ain't listening. He's just doing what Bruce Lee tells us: "Don't Think, Feeeeel!"
