Rationality and Sensibility —— Jonathan Lee, the most romantic love song master in my heart

Click on the "blue word" above to follow us! Jonathan Lee, the godfather of China music, created many unforgettable works. The feelings expressed in the lyrics are like an undercurrent of a stream, which is the flow of his heart, the expression of his communication with the singer and his intimate communication with the audience. From an ignorant guy who makes acoustic guitars to a graceful musician, this road to success has his own repeated struggles, as well as his tacit cooperation with friends. Two divorce experiences made him understand the true meaning of life. Through hard work, I have made today's "Brother Li".

I am a bird.

I am a Bird is a song written by Jonathan Lee to his good friend Zhao Chuan on 1990, and it is also a heartfelt spiritual expression of his character and past life.

Jonathan Lee, 2 1 year-old, studied electrical engineering in Hsinchu, Taiwan Province, and formed an acoustic guitar choir with two good friends. At this time, he showed great talent in music. 1985, when Jonathan Lee was 27 years old, he composed music for Pan Yueyun, who was quite famous at that time, which helped him join the Rolling Stones and paved the way for his later music career. After three years, Jonathan Lee and Zhu Weiyin got married in Taibei. At this time, he was promoted to deputy general manager of Rolling Stone and began to directly participate in the all-round work of the record market. From a singer-songwriter to a producer now, Jonathan Lee has taken a big step. Emil Wakin Chau, Zhang Aijia, Karen Mok, Sandy Lam and Fish Leong, who cooperated with him or became famous under his guidance, wrote most of their songs by Jonathan Lee. Since 1980s, Jonathan Lee has become a musician who has influenced several generations.

Looking back on the road of music in the past 30 years, Jonathan Lee, who is over 50 years old, interprets music, love, life and self as if I were a bird:

The higher you fly, the better. If you fly to the branch, you are afraid of a shot from the hunter. High above, but too high to be cold. Therefore, this bird is always lonely, suspicious and pessimistic, but this is what he looks like in the dead of night. In the noisy world, he is still trying to fly upwards. Jonathan Lee, a cancer, was born with a strong sensitivity to art and the usual sentimentality of artists, which gave him great creative inspiration. Although it has gained a bumper harvest in music, it has a strong sense of crisis and inferiority.

Jonathan Lee, with a big beard, always looks smiling, humorous and like an urchin, but behind him is actually strict and self-disciplined, even melancholy. Although he is number 1, he still thinks about the end. Perhaps the sense of crisis prompted him to fly.

Open your heart, Jonathan Lee is always summing up himself. Constantly know yourself and expose your weaknesses. "I have always felt that writing songs is very emotional. In fact, I am too rational and often turn one thing into a problem. The whole person is very nervous, afraid of losing and losing face. Fame has given me a bad influence, put a lot of pressure on others and caused some problems in getting along. " Who believes that such a big brother who has had numerous scandals is so worried about face, and who would have thought that such a talented music godfather was afraid that Jiang Lang would be exhausted? But what Jonathan Lee said is true. This is the real Jonathan Lee, a Jonathan Lee who dares to admit his weaknesses.

When did you stop loving me?

A pair of beautiful musicians, He, fell in love with a song "When Love Is Past", and threw a stone into the marriage pool of He, pushing the marriage alliance of Li and Zhu to the dust of history. Who knows that six years later, lin li sang this song of marriage change with practical actions.

Lin and Li first met because of cooperation. Sandy Lam joined the Rolling Stones. As a famous musician, Jonathan Lee wrote many songs for Sandy Lam, many of which were sung on the same stage. Over time, their feelings have improved a lot. In addition, Sandy Lam's unique temperament and magnetic voice inspired Jonathan Lee greatly, that is, during his cooperation with Sandy Lam, he created many classic lyrics. Of course, during this period, Lin achieved her best performance since she entered the music world. They got married in Vancouver on February 22nd, 1998, when Sandy Lam was pregnant. Life after marriage is dull and harmonious. As a stepmother, Sandy Lam also regards the two daughters born by Jonathan Lee and his ex-wife as her own and treats them equally with her own daughters.

However, in 2004, after six years of marriage, they made a solemn statement to the media and agreed to divorce. It's a little regrettable that talented people break up with beautiful women. Although the outside world is full of doubts and speculations, and various reasons have not been confirmed, this statement that embodies their emotional understanding has been placed in the mailboxes of major media. Jonathan Lee quoted the lyrics of Understanding to express his feelings. "If our love is wrong, may you and I not suffer in vain." In Jonathan Lee, love is love, and it is a spiritual experience in the journey of life. Love is worth it, so why not break up? Sandy Lam was a little "cold". "I didn't think about writing a statement about my marital status, and I did have an inexplicable sense of absurdity." She was at a loss, but their relationship had come to an end. They had no choice but to end it. The new love of the past has become the old love of today, and only the parties know the taste.

Zhu Weiyin, his ex-wife, who also experienced the marriage change, just smiled at the original third party: "I don't blame her!" The grievances of the three people are intertwined with love and hate, and they are all turned into the past with the wind.

My future, my home, my wife.

Jonathan Lee was in his prime when he wrote this song in 1989. At the beginning of his marriage, he was on the rise in his career. If he was still imagining and looking forward to the future, his family and his wife, he is now 50 years old. At the age of knowing destiny, Li Dage's views on these three things are much clearer. This is a real review and prospect after the precipitation of life.

For the future, what Li Dage thinks most about is music. There are new things, and writing new classics is still his goal. Although he once modestly claimed that his golden age had passed, the momentum in recent years was still vigorous. As he said, after 40, he should have more and more self-things, and the audience is waiting. ...

Jonathan Lee, who made his debut with acoustic guitar, has always had an indelible impression in his heart. Setting up a guitar factory has always been Li Dage's dream and another extension of his music. He makes guitars with the same piety and enthusiasm as music. He is the first Chinese world artist to make guitar! Speaking of this first person, Brother Li is a little shy and proud. First, I made it in Suzhou. Later, I moved to Beijing and invited several local experts. This factory is called "Li Guitar", and "Li" takes his English name "Jonathan Lee". These guitars are handmade, and Jonathan Lee will personally participate in some of them. "This is the best arrangement in life, just like writing a book, hoping to pass on the music." After a long time, maybe all of us will soon forget the name Jonathan Lee, but we are still humming The Price of Loneliness and Love ... A guitar marked "LeeGuitar" is still making a melancholy sound on the stage.

There should be no signs that can be compared with people in cancer. For Jonathan Lee in Cancer, home means three daughters, your son and Ann born in Zhu Weiyin, and your daughter born in Sandy Lam. Your son and Aner live in Beijing with their father to continue their studies. Daughter and Sandy Lam are in Hongkong. Of the three daughters, none of the father can give up, and the youngest daughter is what they miss most. After all, it is not easy for father and daughter to meet each other. The north and the south are far apart and miss each other very much! Jonathan Lee, who is eager to love her daughter and is already a master musician, is willing to babysit and cook for her daughter personally. There is a feeling that "studying the dishes of box lunch is more proud than making a good song". It is not easy to be a father and a mother at the same time, but he is happy to do it.

The word "wife" is a thing of the past for Jonathan Lee. I wonder if it will appear again. On the understanding of gender, Jonathan Lee talked about the psychology that many men have but never dare to admit. "I am not your safe haven" is his implicit expression in the form of music. The most direct expression is "The big problem in marriage is that when one party is in trouble, it is easy to say it. Didn't you say that you love me? Why can't you do this for me? " ..... I think the biggest problem with many feelings is that when the waves of your life hit, your husband was more flustered than you, and he might not be able to tell you. "No matter whether Jonathan Lee is irresponsible or timid, he really speaks the mind of a man. Men are human beings, sometimes depressed and sometimes at a loss. Why ask a man in the name of love?

In the face of two marriages that ended in divorce, Jonathan Lee did not feel sorry. As mentioned in the preface to his ex-wife Zhu Weiyin's new book True Love Never Dies, "It is better to be good friends than to be a tasteless couple". Jonathan Lee also talked frankly about Sandy Lam in many programs, and he always thanked her for her musical inspiration, and spent these years together.
