修炼爱情 [xiu lian ai qing] Practice Love - JJ Lin 林俊傑

JJ Lin's 10th Album 'Stories Untold' released March 13th 2013

S-T-O-R-I-E-S   U-N-T-O-L-D

Again, another artistic album title from JJ after previous Lost N Found [if u possibly found it on my blog's name ;p] ... I'm not sure if it was just me, or it does really give deep impression and feeling just by hearing these titles *^_^*

I found a novel accidentally when I was just spending some time at the bookstore and its title just caught my eyes right at the moment I saw it ! Yes ~ The Department of LOST and FOUND -Hilang dan Ditemukan-  unfortunately I didn't take a whole picture of it, now I remembered, it was kind of interesting the publisher put a labyrinth as the cover, a great interpretation of the words :)

I've been adored him for quite some time *blushing* ~ if I look back, it has started from the very first album.. a song named 就是我 [I'm the One] is a catchy and easy listening song that people would easily come to like ♥

Well, he wasn't a 'good looking' or 'idol-like' at the moment he debuted, but i personally think his face was comfortable to look at, and it made me focus more on the music :3

Time sure flies fast, in a blink of an eye.. 10 years passed ! And that person in this video, is no longer the same [so do I xD] - change is good, and unexpectedly he found his way into the 'sad' 'heartbreaking' 'romantic' love song Prince, yeah he's number one in these.. and also The One I come to love *awww..

Okay, this is the CD I bought \(^o^)/ finally I got this !! T__T I was so touched that I wanna cry ~ Actually I didn't intend to open the package at all, so that I could keep it as new as ever.. But, since the plastic wrap has already kinda broken at first.. I have no choice but to take a peek inside :p

Aha ~ I love the design.. old fashioned yet artistic -just like the person- I think he really has a good taste in art stuffs, which made me fall deeper kekeke..

Love U U - JJ Lin

This song is... SoooOOOOOooooOOOOoooooOOooo JJ ! I was surprised that he suddenly made a song for a movie OST and it sounds so SWEET >w<

'Love You You' is the movie's name ~ i kind of doubting this movie at first.. but then I found that Eddie Pheng played the lead [I used to like him in the past when he acted in drama series 'Tomorrow' though it was a horrible drama but he looked so sweet and cute there.. but then I saw some news about him smoking at some shooting set and I realized he must be not a good guy *o* and that fact has driven me to like him more lol]

Yeah.. I cried over the movie *as I always did, I just can't stand every touching scenes* At the beginning it was just plain.. but then as the story's getting into climax and more mixed feelings added, seriously I felt like I'm going insane at the moment ~ Maybe I was just too into it, but this is a romantic movie kyaaa ~

That moment when they lost in love, that moment.. when JJ's voice suddenly come out singing ~~~ Awww... I thought my heart skipped a beat, or perhaps it jumped out from the place it should be :| That was a perfect timing !!

Anyway I'm not going to talk more about this movie, please take a look and get the feel yourselves.. it's recommended for those who like romantic movie :3

Cinderella-JJ Lin

Here comes another song from album Lost N Found 'Cinderella' ~ I should say, this is the song which caught my ear at the first time I played the whole album on my pc.. maybe because its English lyrics, or the unusual jazzy rhythm, I am not sure but I think I would choose this song as the one I love the most in the album ^^ 

But unfortunately, JJ didn't make an MV for this supagud song *sob*

I always wonder [still wondering 'til now] what kind of 'Cinderella' character JJ tried to describe in this song :S It's said that he wrote this song thinking about a girl he knew, but I just can't find it related to the Disney's Princess Cinderella..

There's a lyrics like "... Oh, she's a Cinderella.. but only on the outside, cos once you find your way inside, you'll see she's just a gullible girl..." Does he means that Cinderella is not a gullible girl ? Why ? And does it means Cinderella is a tough girl inside out ? I just don't get it, because I don't see Cinderella that way ~ but never mind, since it's a good song after all :)

I love the part "... and she would go ah ah ah, while I go la la la la..." Somehow I find this part very sexy and seductive *did I think too much ? keke*

Non Existent-JJ Lin

Hmm.. I kinda hard to place this song on my fave's list, I don't know whether I should put it on 2nd or 3rd place ~.~a

Actually, this song's lyrics played an important part.. it may sounds freaky and somehow creepy, but I really like it !! ♥ *don't get me wrong, it doesn't mean I am a freak, or am I ? lol*

I love when it sounds 'the non existent lover will never leave my side' Ouch ! It's an art ! I got goosebumps ~ the logic is weird but it's true *^_^* also, I think JJ suits this 'kinda freaky' role so much [I'm sorry, it's my sincerity] I love how he acts all 'emo' and 'bloody hurt' *grin*

I remember clearly there are 2 scenes I like in this music video; First is when the camera capture the view of his neckline from the back.. that's sexy dude ! *heart thump mode activated*; And the other one is when he's chasing after and running barefooted, and when he stopped.. he put on a 'super duper silly' and 'blank' face ~ that expression is totally priceless !! Enjoy ~

Romantic Mystery-JJ Lin

I don't think it's appropriate to share a lot of MVs from Lost N Found album while I'm going to write about his recent album, so this will be the last.. I promised ;p [because every song of him is so good that I felt like I want to share them all.. especially because I personally think this is his Best Album ever !]

Again, I don't know how many times I should replaying this word 'artistic' while talking about JJ's music videos.. it just happens. Starting from the graffiti wall, dressed up in formal, walking around the busy city, it feels like.. 'there must be something, but just can't figure out what it is' --- that's the vibe I got from this MV ~ and like the other ones, I always have a part in every song that I prefer or quote up, for this.. I really really love when he sang 'Oh Your Touch ~' with his one of a kind smooth and soft voice.. that's so sexy and sweet at once :3

Okay, if I successfully tickled your interest towards him [I wish I did] I hope you can find another works of him somewhere else.. I guarantee that you won't be disappointed ^^

Next ~ Welcome to the album Stories Untold..

You and Me - JJ Lin

JJ ~ 10 years passed and this is his 10th album :O

I should admit he has changed a lot [in term of look and style] Now, he looks so mature and handsome - I've never come to expect he would be - I like his new hair style and dressing style.. very trendy ♥ well, after all he has become the owner of a fashion brand [SMG] so it's a natural *^_^*

This song You and Me is a very relaxing and cheerful beat song, I was kind of surprised when he first introduced this song for the new album.. not a very JJ style of music @.@ but it sounds good ~ and when my friends who never keep up about him listened and liked this song, I think.. 'Ah this must be a nice song then..' Perhaps JJ is making some transformation, well I come to think it's a good idea to mix happy and sad songs in an album so there'll be up and down feelings while listening to it :)

Practice Love - JJ Lin

 YES ! Without a doubt or thinking twice, I bravely said.. This is a Masterpiece of his !!

Hmm.. I clearly told ya that I considered the previous album as his best album, but for all the songs he sang or he wrote so far, THIS IS THE BEST ! Trust me, IT IS !!

For all the people, whether those who enjoy his songs before or those who never knew him before.. I strongly recommended this song !

Firstly, this song is so JJ's style of music.. slow, touching the deepest of hearts, full of souls, saddening, meaningful and beautifully presented ~

Secondly, the music video is a piece of an art.. I can't stand watching it so sometimes I left it played and keep my eyes away from the MV but just listen to the song :') and no matter what i'm doing at the moment, when I hear this song playing, I'll stop it right away and my mind stays focused on the song without my intention.. It's magic right ? keke ~

Then, I believe he's entering different stages of music achievement by done writing this song.. he's indeed talented and gifted ~ I wish all his efforts would be paid off *JJ fighting !*

Obviously, I put this on because I really really love this album cover ~ ♥ ♥ ♥ Frankly speaking, with that huge Teddy Bear, he's completely lovely and adorably :"3

Yeah.. somehow I wish I was that Teddy kekeke ~

Ehem.. JJ's autograph.. I may just got it from the web now, but one day.. someday in the future, I wish to get it directly from him ! It's a secret wish that in my lifetime, I really wish that I could meet him face to face, in a close distance, just once would be enough *pray hard* 

I am so lookin forward for that day to come, and I also in the middle of preparing myself for that ~ sure.. I don't want to be in a lost of words or about to faint condition when the chance came. I simply wish one day JJ will look at me and notice my existence, cause I sincerely love him that much :)

Frozen Kiss - JJ Lin

Seriously this music video is heartbreaking </3 ~ One can tell just by looking at his expression, totally sad and suffering T___T

But the most heartbreaking thing in fact is, HE KISSED THE GIRL ! *suicide*

Ehem.. I am back to the right mind, and here I will give some preview of the song and MV according to my opinion..  I like the 'mirror' concept, it's deep yet artistic ~ the reflection to the past, looking back with those regrets, and see it clearly after things passed.. sigh..

The lyrics mostly talking about some kind of 'unsaid break up' where there's no feeling left, when warmness has turned into cold breeze, nothing left to say but too hard to speak it out ~ trapped in a helpless situation where both sides unintentionally keep hurting each other and those suffers just aren't going to an end *cry*

I can tell.. it must be a part of his 'stories untold' ~ like some said, you'll never understand if you've never been there.. I wish his broken heart is healed then :)

There's a question my friends once asked me.. 'Why is it Stories Untold rather than Untold Stories ? After all, the meaning of them are the same..' Okay, I am not him, so I can't really explain about his thoughts.. but since I am asked and I think I need to give a reason for it.. I would say, there's a difference between 'Stories Untold' and 'Untold Stories' ~

Like we always put the most important word at the end, if it is 'Untold Stories'.. I think it would sounds like, it's all about the stories.. somehow the 'untold' part will be dismissed in meaning.

In opposite, 'Stories Untold' slightly gave different impression.. yes it's about stories, but it's Untold - kind of stories, that's what JJ shared to us, his Untold parts of life, his Untold sides, his Untold experiences, his Untold hearts :")

I wish I could really see through all of those throughout his music, but since music is out of my field of expertise, it'll take time ;p

Til then, I'll keep adoring and admiring JJ and his music ~

Future Tense - JJ Lin

...

'We never knew what future holds' these words just suddenly struck my mind.. Future Tense is a great song title, simple yet unique ~

I got a lesson from this song, I remembered there's lyrics said, 'Time never stops moving because of any particular person' Yup ~ That's so true ! I'll keep that in mind ^^

What will happen tomorrow, what have I done yesterday, what I am going to do today ~ is a question mark and the same moment never came back twice.. it moves on and so do I.

See you in the future then, JJ.. Stay gorgeous !

You are the Apple of My Eye :3
