When I was little I played the piano, I sometimes felt happy and
sometimes felt pressure. Later on in order to take the exam for music
class in junior high (The teacher had class and was pretty) ps. The
latter was my own reason. And so I learnt to play the cello, but
afterwards I still didn't go to take the exam. So I stopped playing the
piano and cello for a period of time. But privately I still played some
pop songs (It was at this time when I came into contact relatively more
with pop songs). I started to grasp melody and combining chords. I felt
really happy, relaxed and not so much pressure. Later I studied music
in high school. And once again it renewed my contact with classical
music. At times classical, at times pop. Actually I started to write
songs when I was in junior high, it's just that right now I think I
must have been blind as an owl. Songs I thought were very diao back
then, if you listen to it now, it might not be like what you thought it
was like. I hope I can still admire myself in the future when I listen
to this 'Jay Album', that I think is very diao right now.
