OPUS 2

I first said I wanted to go to Jay's concert when I was thirteen, but was obviously too poor to do anything about it. Now, with a little bit of earning power, I finally decided it was time. I am no longer a avid fan of his like I used to be back in secondary school days. I recall the first music album I bought was his. And I remember I loved 七里香 album so much that I would sing that song every morning before morning assembly commenced. I stopped listening to his new songs from 牛仔很忙 album, perhaps only a few love ballads that would usually not go wrong. Last night's concert was one of those, or maybe the only one, that I could sing almost all the songs. I probably only couldn't sing a song or two. The old songs were simply too classic, I didn't even have to refer to the lyrics on the screen to sing. My memories rewound to the primary 5 days, when 暗号, 世界末日 and 最后的战役 were my favourites. I remember one day my Chinese teacher was teaching the Chinese character "帅"  (handsome) and she asked me who I thought was handsome. Without much hesitation, I shouted “周杰伦！" And that was just because I was hooked to his songs at that time. And then there were the secondary school days, then the JC days. 借口accompanied me for the longest time in secondary school. Whatever, I am pretty sure I had a few of those Jay's songs to accompany me through those long bus journeys to school. There were really too many nostalgic student days to fall back on with the aid of Jay's songs. Unlike Sodagreen's concert which moved me during the sad songs medley, last night Jay's sad songs struck me with a realisation that I have already come this far. I have grown up. Some songs used to bring up some unhappy pasts, but last night when I listened and sang along with the familiar tunes, I felt those pasts have helped me learn and grow. Every bit of the past was somehow attached to a Jay song. I can't believe it!
