English musician listens to No Party for Caodong for THE FIRST TIME! 

草東的兩位吉他手是我同學，有一天早上巫毒上課想到了旋律，就找筑筑編一下細節，就這樣他們花了三天時間編曲、詞，在學校的歌唱比賽決賽中，拿到了前三 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0JkjfqYFHtI.html&ab_channel=hardmetalplayer 影片中的巫毒，剛摔完車沒多久，右手包的是石膏 p.s 筑筑曾說，一般人只知道他們彈吉他厲害，但不知道的是他們每天放學回家，就是一直彈吉他彈到睡著，每天都是抱著吉他起床，靠著這股熱情與意志力，才能稍微做到隨時都有靈感彈出來。

老樂迷看到聽草東好感動🥲他們其實很早就開始活動，只是後面才出專輯，大部分收錄在專輯裡的歌都是已經寫好很久的歌曲，之前就好好奇你聽到他們會有什麼反應，他們是台灣新地下樂團時代的開啟者，最近人責的巡迴有幸買到票去聽，現場更是炸裂，台灣直到現在也沒有幾個團有這個編曲跟voice的實力，如果可以的話希望你也可以聽聽草東的”缸””八”，猜你也會非常喜歡茄子蛋，你一定也會愛上他們的吉他英雄風格☺️可以聽他們的”親愛的無情孫小美”哦！

越來越多獨創音樂 而不是商業音樂 在台灣很幸福 真正的創作者從來沒離開過戰場 很滿足

沒有人可以討厭這首歌 每個人都會被感動 尤其第一段副歌後 那段間奏 撲朔迷離 你可以知道有什麼要發生 但聽了幾百幾千次 你還是會讚嘆

草東真的神，歌曲想要表達的情感扣人心弦。如此的細膩，如此豪放不羈，但那只是展現給你看的感覺，真正他卻躲藏在更深層的不想被人發現。所以他們的歌的就像礦脈一樣，慢慢的深掘就能得到更多的寶物。

歌曲中所描述的強烈對立感存在於台灣的花東海岸，那裡可以同時看見山與海，大山神秘沉穩強悍，海面廣袤變幻不定，是個充滿能量的地方。

因為山海這首歌才跑去聽草東沒有派對的歌，曲是真的很勾人，聽一遍就會想再聽第二遍，還有一首我個人特別喜歡「大風吹」，歌詞寫得很有深意，特別是有社會經歷的人，更能體會詞裡影射的情景，血淋淋又無奈的現實，推薦這首歌給各位。

just stumbled upon you bro. I'm american and i studied in the mainland for 6 years in Beijing and Shanghai. my best homies from China got me onto caodong since 2020. love this album the most and im so happy to see a foreign reaction to this masterpiece for the first time. this album literally got me thru a lot of tough times when i was in college there. love this so much! thank you bro for this vid

Joe評論的時候真的感覺很開心 真心喜歡音樂的人碰到令自己感到興奮的音樂 自然流露的表情非常可愛!!

我第一次聽到這首歌是在手機上聽的，覺得有趣，因為非常厭世再加上有綠洲那種壓抑著力量的唱腔（我綠洲粉😂），後來我又再次用耳罩式耳機聽一遍，這次可嚇到我了，超強啊！ 所以我後來都跟人家說，如果聽草東沒感覺，那你肯定沒戴耳機😂

怎麼可以在一首歌裡頭，不停的讓我從脊椎延伸到神經，再從末梢神經冒出皮膚的震顫，再從大腦往下墜，各種感觸從心裡竄出的感嘆

站在我家門前、向右走 是走向台灣的中央山脈。向左走是往太平洋而去。聽這首歌就像是以我所居住的地點為背景。

The drummer just passed away 😢. Really sad for the talented drummer. Really missed her..

草東新專輯也是讚到不行,更多細膩變調,更多快慢變化。情緒整個拉滿

Damnnn I just discovered your channel and now that you do vlogss I'm gonna watch them all. I'm learning Chinese and I found my motivation first because I met a friend that is from China and second the rock music I love this band and hiperson. I Hope one day to hear them in person.

希望也可以做一期草東的""還願"",這首歌的氛圍營造更是一流

草東的歌詞很有深度和意境，有靈魂在裡面

Hi Joe, you can try this one. Pretty awesome duo. 珂拉琪 萬千花蕊慈母悲哀

我個人最推的草東歌曲是"鬼" 中間的琶音真的很漂亮 另外，在youtube上應該能找到完整的"醜奴兒"這張專輯(山海也有收錄在內)，按他原版的編排一次聽完會有不同的感覺，歌曲的順序都有經過精心設計的，真心推薦找時間按原專輯順序聽完整張，更能感受到草東的魅力

Looking forward for your cover!

本來是喜歡聽這首歌，聽完講解就更愛這首歌了！謝謝joe的講解BTW是山海不是上海！以外國人的發音來說就是不能要求太多，其實歌詞內容很符合那個悲傷的旋律，謝謝joe專注在解說樂理知識,讓我們更瞭解這誰歌的用心創作

哇靠，這個外國人比我聽山海還聽的透徹

草東真的是神，我從高一第一次聽到山海，到現在出社會了每次聽都很感動！

Wow, 你的中文進步好多！厲害！想聽 Joe Creator 聽：親愛的無情孫小美

開場的音樂節拍就讓人沉迷了！之後伴隨鼓聲是我的最愛！　慵懶地唱風，轉強爆發力喊出～～～超強大的台灣樂團

這首歌的故事 很虐 單純聽好聽 了解內核細細咀嚼歌詞意境 流淚了....

Hi Joe, thank you so much for your videos as I learnt a lot from your music explanation. Please keep up the great work! And I look forward to your cover of this song, 山海.

山海的鼓真的超特別的 一直在變化 一直在不一樣的地方變化 一直在你想不到的地方變化 就像山跟海一樣

作为一个摇滚迷，刚开始我以为是中国歌手，着实惊艳到我了。后来发现是台湾摇滚更是惊掉下巴！（因为台湾更多让人想到是主流流行音乐，但后来想到中文歌曲的艺术也只有台湾的土壤才能孕育）太棒了！喜欢到无以复加👍可能符合我的口味吧！至今最喜欢的台湾音乐没有之一。

Most of the music/songs you reviewed were written by Taiwanese artists, not from China, for your info.

YO just got recommended this vid, rly love ur analysis and reaction! I've been on a Chinese and Taiwanese music kick recently and found a bunch of cool bands along with No Party For Cao Dong, I HIGHLY recommend you check out Hiperson they're genuinely one of the coolest bands I've found in recent times! I especially recommend their song "Found It"

草東推薦可以聽"爛泥"，跟山海一樣講述的是生活的無力與無奈，再美麗的泡泡下努力的掙扎。

我對這首歌有特殊的感覺有被講到，這首歌雖然歌詞很少，卻不會像其他抖音歌在間奏只是隨便哼就帶過，而是強烈的情感堆疊，真的非常厲害

Their recent new album sounds great as well. I recommend a song from it titled "Damn" Anyone interested can give it a listen.

與其說是一首歌 不如說 他是在對生命的吶喊~~

這首歌我第一次聽的時候也很震撼 不管是音樂、唱法或是歌詞

Thank you for enjoying the music from the Taiwan band. And thank you for the appreciation and the analysis for the performance and the lyrics. That makes these review much deeper. I think the bands in Taiwan are really great. Love the cover you made. It was really awesome and I also respect your spirit in learning mandarin. 😊

As a taiwanese and indie music lover, I am really honored that you appreciate草東’s music to this level. They really are something special.

很想他也评价一下《杀死那个石家庄人》

小小的提一下下一个翻译没有特别准确的地方 - Joe说的“indie guitar”被翻译成印度吉他，感觉更准确的是独立吉他，或者说他应该想说比较original的意思

Wait does this mean that hua chenyu covered this song when he did mountain and sea/wayfarer?

Cao Dong is one of my fav band of the last 6 years. I'm so so sorry I've missed the live show in Milan and then Fan Fan died. I'm happy they find a way to go forward and comes out with a wonderful new album.

Indie music should translate to 独立音乐

推薦：五告人的「披星戴月的想你」 當然，草東沒有派對的「爛泥」、「大風吹」也可以聽一下。

No Party For Cao Dong is probably the most successful indie band here in Taiwan these years, glad that you liked them. There's another band called Sunset Rollercoaster, a city-pop band inspired by The Velvet Underground, maybe you can try them out too.

I would like to recommend Constant's change ball! kst- A good thing, can it happen to me (Lucky As You) His mv is very artistic, I hope you will like it And their song (hi there) (擱淺的人) is also a very good work 想推薦康士坦的變化球！kst- 美好的事可不可以發生在我身上(Lucky As You) 他的mv十分有意境 希望你會喜歡😍 還有他們的歌曲（hi there）(擱淺的人) 也是十分棒的作品

看完您的影片，山海變得更好聽了！

7:38有一个错译，indie guitar是独立吉他

謝謝你解讀這首歌 讓沒有音樂底子的人了解這首歌好在哪

Hey Joe, Love your content, this is the first time I commented on your videos. The demo at the end goes to show just how hard it is to do this song right. TBH, I had a moment of doubt when you started, then I thought, a full version with your having worked out your manifestation of each point as you mentioned would be quite the treat. Thanks for the good work.

this rock song is a classic .Get goosebumps everytime I hear it played. It has psychedelic effect . 👍👍 appreciate your expert songs review . Can you do a review of other older great classics eg Cui JIan 's Fake monk and the rock version of The song of ordinary People by Mayday n Jam Hsiao.

我覺得你可以去聽聽茄子蛋EggPlantEgg的歌。浪人三部曲堪稱一場饗宴

This song is very difficult, but I will be looking forward to your performance of this song！

00:26資料可能有點錯誤 他們讀的是台北藝術大學

太厲害了 下次可以評論TRASH跟Cover他們的歌嗎?

變成草東沒有門票了

Listening to this song for the first time and I'm liking it! It's nice to have you explaining on why the song is so powerful :D

Look forward for the song！

his song was an indispensable catharsis for Taiwanese youth in the Republic of China. Where we live, the money we can earn is not enough to live on, and it is difficult to see our true dreams and future. If there's no way to get off the road, it'll be like this song. An inspiring and depressing song. Very touching and realistic!

they’re composition is very delicate and harmonious. The drums fill every space it needs to, coming in and out perfectly in time. And their lead guitar’s melody is written in tandem with the vocals, like it’s able to switch positions any time. The rhythm guitar and bass supports and gives all their song so much body without ever overtaking the leads.

草東是我們的驕傲😢❤

hope you make a reaction video of 乐队的夏天3 a Chinese tv show of chinese band

一开始只觉得你是懂音乐的，没想到你还懂中文，甚至唱的还挺好听😮

please cover the song!!!!

If yoy really like 山海,there is another song 爛泥(Mud in english) by 草東沒有派對 , you must give a try. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QPY4h-nDIZ8.html They shout out loudly to the world expressing unfair and inequality by the song. You will be addicted to it.

感覺你是真的喜歡這首歌，吉他都拿出來了😂

I would like to recommend 《Defenders Of Bú-Tik Palace 》. It is a song from The metal band from Taiwan , called CHTHONIC . And hope you can listen its metal version and acoustic version .

You should go through all their songs in the debut album And also new album for their recent transformation Btw they are using DropD tuning in all of their songs ：）

我是你RU-vid频道的超级粉丝！一直都超喜欢你的反应视频。最近我发现了一支超棒的陈奕迅的音乐视频，《黑夜不再来》ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2Ar3G46prZo.html 。画面超炫，编舞超帅，陈奕迅的唱功更是没话说！这支视频情感爆棚，我觉得你的反应一定会超有意思的！它对我影响很深，超想看看你的独特观点！能不能在你的频道上对它做个反应呢？期待你的回复！

等一个方大同分析

现在最火的是罗刹海市 赶快分析哈哈哈

我给不起翻译成I have no answer是不是差点意思？

hey Joe!!!感谢分享草东的音乐，我很喜欢他们😍另外很推荐你听万能青年旅店的歌曲（Omnipotent Youth Society），他们是整个华语摇滚乐队的先锋，词曲都极具诗意与深意，草东也有受到他们影响~非常 非常希望看到reaction视频❤❤

Just can’t wait, looking forward to seeing your version!

Great review! Love your enthusiasm and your explanation through recreating the guitar chords. 👏👏👏

感谢。很喜欢你的解说和分享。

Please listen 我們 from 草東沒有派對,it’s also an awesome track.

想聽聽看：他真的明白自己給不起而轉身走掉、更悲傷的版本~九爺來一版吧？芫虎~(woohoo)

Try 《大风吹》～also from CaoDong

I don’t know much about music, but this sounds like some very sophisticated stuff going on in the song.

your Chinese pronaunciation is better and better.

哇哦，帅哥你的中文越来越好了

The drummer sadly went to heaven this young, may her soul be in peace and no more anxiety attacks😢(I also have anxiety issues, I know how hard it is). Aside from your fantastic skills, Joe you almost sounded like a real Chinese person when you read things in Chinese, amazed 😮❤

Bro actually Taipei National university of arts is not National Taipei University! It’s totally different things.

謝謝你也喜歡草東 有緣可以來去現場相見 希望下次可以買的到票

推薦草東的整個專輯 每一首都會帶給你不一樣的感覺

CAO DONG's new album is fantastic too!! Hope you can react ''床'' CAO DONG !! Always love your reaction!!

很可惜啊，一直想去现场参加live

Feels really need a teacher for Chinese lol

Can you do a reaction to Hua Chen Yu version of this song. He is also a very unique and amazing Chinese singer.

Hello, I heard the song you recorded at the end of the film. Maybe you can consider translating the lyrics into English before singing. That's a challenge for you, but it's also fun! OvO

Joe is great! Hope to get more music from Taiwan in this channel!

這就是台灣樂團！！！！

Thanks for algorithm to bring me here.I glad to hear your own version of 山海.

Did u go to Los Angeles yesterday for VCT grand final? I watched the stream and saw a guy looks like u

7:38 “indie” 是指“独立”（independent），不是印度的意思。

他還有一首“還願” （為遊戲製作的歌） 我很推薦

The MV makes it seem like it's about a man killing a woman in the forest then burying her body and setting her clothes on fire. And her ghost is still around looking around

我可太喜欢这首歌 了，，，，真的

中文学习的好快啊，真厉害，有爱好就会努力的人。
