Vincent Fang reveals when working with Jay Chou it's always "melody first then lyrics"
by kelvin@multistars - 12th January 2012Source: Chinanews
Yesterday talking about Jay Chou, Vincent Fang stated, usually when they work together it is melody first then lyrics. When Jay Chou thinks it's a good melody he always lets Vincent Fang listen to it, who then looks for feelings to write the lyrics. "Jay is a person with a lot of ideas, he has a rich imagination for melody, writing the lyrics are big challenges, it's even better for pushing your desire to write. We hardly ever have differences, we understand what each other wants. The lyrics I write for his melody, I bring strong individual feelings, it will sprout more inspiration. For example when I was writing the fast song "William's Castle", he normally tells me a story, then he'll talk about how he would film it, he guides me with the story and gives me plenty of visuals, so the lyrics come quite quick for this song. But there are exceptions, for example "Chinese Flower Pot" was a story I told him, he used his melody to help me complete the scenes."
