GENUINE TEARS as English musician listens to Stephanie Sun for the first time! 

十年前談了一場很痛苦的戀愛，分分合合把自己弄得很狼狽。到了最後意識到已經無法再繼續下去，到KTV一遍一遍唱這首歌。現在已經完全走出來了，再聽這首歌還是忍不住淚目。懷念的不是當時那個人渣，而且當時那個自己。

三部曲：開始懂了 我不難過 我懷念的👍

I was eating my cheeseburger when I clicked this video . But ten minutes later, my plate was filled with tissue papers dampened with my tears😭 even though I have listened to this song countless times. Stephanie Sun is a real gem. Thank you so much for sharing this video, Joe, perfect analysis and very touching reaction. Thank you.❤

It’s 2024 July, I’m crying with you…

以前聽 是一首悲傷的情歌 現在聽 是一個人生的經歷

年輕時只覺得這是歌詞，現在的年紀經歷了很多事才明白這些歌詞的感覺是多麼的讓人感動

孫燕姿的歌內斂不張揚，真正的好歌不需要嘶吼飆高音 ，卻能把人帶入歌曲的氛圍裡

没有一个22岁的女生像她这样唱歌。 一直到现在还是非常喜欢。

joe 你能听懂歌词 并且共情。这是我没想到的。你出乎了我的预想。很多人 听过这首歌 但不会体会其中的深刻含义。只有本身经历过 并且有倾听能力的人 才能做到。你的每一期 我都有在看。希望你能大火。我会给你加油~

孫燕姿真的很厲害，她在唱「天黑黑」這樣的歌，我就會不自覺的哭了

歌迷來了，每張專輯小弟都有買，前幾張都有幸花數個小時排隊簽唱會。最喜歡在夜深人靜K書的時候聽燕姿溫暖的歌聲，至今依舊懷念。

看過很多厲害的人翻唱過，但是真的能讓人進到故事中感同身受，而且讓人哭的還是只有孫燕姿的歌聲

孙燕姿的嗓音确实是得天独厚的。我每次听到她的歌声都会放下手上的工作或是暂停脚步静下心来听完才继续，因为她声音里有种能安定人心的特质，仿佛找到避风港的那种感觉。

she's a national treasure. when she held a free virtual concert in 2022, it was attended by 240 million viewers

“我怀念的”真是写得太好了！比“开始懂了”还高一筹，反正我以前每次听都被牵动情绪。但是”开始懂了“是我爱上她的开始，这首歌带着我度过青涩期，确实是笑中带泪中，慢慢学会乐观面对长大和成熟，可能都是狮子座，我超认同孙燕姿歌曲里传达的信息和人生观

孫燕姿的歌，有許多人翻唱，但幾乎都超越不了孫燕姿的歌聲所帶出的情緒，不可取代。

聽孫燕姿的歌最享受的就是她的沉穩低音，與歌唱節目的職業歌手、歌唱比賽時參賽選手總想飆高音來展示自己的實力不同，並沒有說哪個好哪個不好，前者讓人沉澱享受，後者讓人期待興奮，但是太多唱歌的人喜歡飆高音，也不是每個飆上去還依然令人悅耳

孫燕姿的聲線絕對稱得上華語樂壇獨一檔最特別的存在。

這首歌很恐怖的地方是如果當過歌詞中描述的那個人，就能真的完全理解。這老外一定也是邊聽邊想起那個難忘的人

接著聽我不難過 才算經歷愛情三部曲。我懷念的很多人唱過，孫燕姿原唱地位屹立不搖，能超越的，依然是淡出多年後的孫燕姿。音樂精靈、華納超級發聲體....外表纖瘦，卻個性直率充滿能量，出道就長時間佔據各大榜，有經歷過yanzi發光發熱的那些年，我覺得很幸運。

燕姿在七年級生裡的份量，絕對是數一數二重的，我的青春充滿了燕姿的歌曲，陪我走過不同階段的時光

這首歌很難唱，因為歌詞多，停頓位又少，見她不停地唱卻一點都沒走鐘，而且她在歌曲演繹上充滿感情，正是她的強項🙏🏻🧐

Joe的共情力音乐理解力文学修辞表达都是非常棒的，这无疑是艺术气质的展现和魅力，帮我们更深刻回忆了过去

燕姿的「半句再見」太認真聽歌詞都會哭…

歌詞真的寫得很好，每次聽都被這裏面充沛的情感以及傷痛給感動到哭!

我很感謝成長中有孫燕姿的陪伴，很久沒有享受這麼美好的華語音樂，開心也謝謝Joe的喜歡和分享！這樣的華語音樂才是我懷念的。

這首歌與孫燕姿的聲音真的很達到某種和諧，情感的表達非常克制，不一定要彭湃的飆高音也能表達情感的力量，這樣的暗流洶湧，聽完反而更難過了。

Songs from the past always has these kind of deep lyrics that u can really feel from both the singer n the words itself and all those songs has meaning behind it, I'm glad i was born in that era

Growing up as a 90s kid, this is the peak of Singaporean chinese music. Absolutely beautiful and nostalgic.

This video just randomly popped up on recommendation and it ended up bringing me back to my youth when Stefanie Sun was all the rage. Thanks Joe!

Joe 真的很棒，除了对音乐的理解非常专业，连同歌词，情感价值共鸣，都可以分析得那么专业👍

有時候聽不懂也是一種幸福 我懷念的那首歌詞簡單 年輕時只覺得她唱功讓這首很好聽 經歷過感情後才知道意義多深

孙燕姿的歌声总能缓缓进入心底深处，让我感动，让我怀恋，让我哭，让我释然。非常感谢你选择了她的歌，你的真情流露也打动了我！

Hi from Malaysia 🇲🇾, she is one of my idols and I love every single song she sang...I got every single of her album since I was 12yrs old. Her unique vocal and the lyrics so meaningful

This is my most favorite song of all time. Have been listening to it for more than 10 years. The English lyric allows me to enjoy it in a way I've never had before. Such a beautiful translation. Did you translate those?

每次聽這首一定都會哭.....歌詞真的跟我上一段十一年的感情太貼合了....

The deepest and most mesmerising part of Chinese songs (mandarin, Cantonese etc) are the lyrics. I feel so lucky to understand the dialects to get myself engaged in these images and emotions ❤

孙燕姿是华语乐坛实体唱片年代的经典，感情细腻娓娓道来，我最喜欢的是 天黑黑 和 雨天 这两首

他的歌音樂真的沒有太多複雜。聲線辨別度很高，他的歌小聽到大，第一張專輯我從哥哥那邊聽到後，無法忘記的歌手代表

以前唱的是一个懵懂无知少女对爱的坚持勇敢追求爱的过程，现在唱的是在述说过去那段经历，似乎经历过沧桑无奈充满情感。孙燕姿唯一一个出道即巅峰的歌手

過了十幾年再來聽，跟以前的感覺又更不同了，真的很喜歡孫燕姿❤

I like her confidence on herself! She ever had very nasty comments from audiences who don’t know how to appreciate her performance at all but she chose to ignore them 👍

孫燕姿這首我懷念的歌詞是Taiwan作詞人：姚若龍填寫的歌詞，作曲者也很棒旋律很好聽，經典歌曲很好聽，還有一首：我不難過，作詞也是台灣作詞家楊明學填寫，很感人😢這兩首歌我都很喜歡👍

你是我见过最可爱的歌曲点评者，不仅懂音乐，还是感性的人，每次点评歌曲都愿意去倾听，去感受歌者表达的情感，向你致敬

This song didn't resonate with me as much until I watched your review. Your insights have significantly deepened my appreciation for it. Thank you for your very touching sharing! ❤

I came in your video to join you appreciating our Singapore pride Stephanie Sun's song but I ended up crying over 开始懂了. Many of us grew up with her songs, as do I. She is such a gem. Do try out more of her songs, many of her songs have very relatable and nice lyrics. 🤍

講的超級好，把要傳達的感受完全表達出來了，在我年輕時所經歷過的一些失敗感情時，也常聽她的歌，當然也拌隨著痛苦，但卻很自然的每天聽著，我想…每個人都會產生不同的感受與想法吧

活在孙燕姿的年代真好

我经常听这首歌。但当我看了英文的翻译，感觉已经眼眶湿了，这英文翻译的真的很好，很能直击心灵

Love her so much!! ❤ As a fellow Singaporean, so proud of her!!! Thank you RU-vid for recommending this video to me 🥰

She is an amazing singer. One of my favorites!!!

You're listening to one of the best mandarin female vocalist in Asia...Her voice can pierces through your heart...

Thanks for sharing! I listened to her songs many times while I was younger but haven't really paid attention to the lyrics. Putting a spotlight onto the lyrics and feeling them with the heart do make me want to cry some good tears.

Congrats on the 1M view video! Stephanie Sun def one of my fav singers in my childhood. Just like Jay Chou, she's one of the all time classics in Man-pop.

我個人最喜歡孫燕姿的歌是「我也很想他」 屬於那種前奏一下，就開始哽咽的那種。 她能很柔軟的唱出淡淡的難過與悲傷，把人慢慢的帶進回憶與遺憾之中。

以前年輕時聽還好，年紀稍大時聽卻是淚流不停

孫燕姿特殊又容易辨識的聲線真的到現在都還是很獨特，還是希望她能再出新專輯讓大家聽。

我這首也是我第一次聽中文歌聽到哭→在副歌「求我原諒抱得我都痛」的地方 歌詞用第一人稱寫出心裡想對愛人說的話 又愛又傷心，到內心的矛盾，再到最後的堅強和放手 除了歌詞外 旋律和副歌也是一直跟著情緒加疊上去 配上孫燕姿的獨特嗓音 真是太經典了！

The song is amazing. But your analysis and reaction are equally amazing! Thank you!

好美的詮釋，年輕時唱的難分難捨的愛情，現在唱出來的是想當初的刻骨銘心 ~ 燕姿真棒

I recommend 雨天, you can definitely feel her singing skill by the twist in her voice 😊

我不難過, 我懷念的, 開始懂了, 這三首一定要一起聽

听哭了的人都是有故事的人。上学的时候经常跟初恋女友搂在一起听孙燕姿。当时纯粹是喜欢她的歌，并没有听懂歌词。现在她为人母，我为人父，也没有用当时憧憬时给宝宝起的名字 。。。 希望大家都爱情甜蜜，事业顺利。

Joe is so emotional. He definitely had a lot of stories...

以前的很多歌都能唱進心裡~現在時代變了~還是常常聽老歌更舒服❤❤

I love such a heartfelt reaction,In addition to having a very high comprehension of the details of the lyrics and music, all in all, I like it very much and have already subscribed

真的很巧，最近我也在听这首老歌。多年以后再听这首歌，又有了不同的感受。你对整首歌的情绪、感受，甚至歌词（虽然翻译其实可能不足以表达意境）的理解都很到位。

從她出道就非常喜歡她,之後就很少再聽她的歌 謝謝你做了這部,讓我又回到喜歡她的那個回憶 燕姿真的是占據了自己人生的時期 的確是"我有哭" 長大之後再聽燕姿的歌 真的會哭...

It's always a true, genuine moment to be able to share the same type of feeling after listening to the same song. I can believe that even if Joe didn't speak Mandarin, just by listening to the melody of this song, he would always cry after listening to this song.

特别喜欢孙燕姿，从高中听到现在，她的歌特别有感染力

每次每次聽都有滿滿的情緒，孫燕姿真是我們這代的現象級歌手！

直抵人心.就是她的特色.演唱人跟詞曲搭配得非常好.量身打造的感覺

你挑的這兩首都是他早期最紅的歌，那年代的歌詞真的都很認真寫，屬於創作者的各種生活體驗與感受，這是幾十年後的今天，創作者幾乎已經沒有這樣的能力，現在的中文歌，各種強說愁還有堆疊詞藻、或是淪為無病呻吟等，很難感動人。 其實比較後期的孫燕姿的歌也有類似的問題，只能說早期的歌才是孫燕姿的經典，現在就算他再出新歌，可能也很難找回那個高度。

Thank you for sharing this touching song by Sun Yanzi. Very well analysis of the song and whole performance. Yanzi is great.

Singer that cannot be replaced, hardly can find such vocal nowadays. 无法取代的歌手，她的歌都很好听，百听不厌😊加油燕姿！

I cried so bad whenever listen to her music...she performs the lyrics with a mood instead a picture~a subtle mood of complex

真的是太完美的歌詞 從20幾歲聽到50 歲了 這歌還是好聽

i've been watching this again and again. I just love seeing you getting emotional!

I loved how you didn’t pause her video every now and then just to comment on the performance and only did it when the instrumentals were playing! ❤ I found it disruptive and sometimes, even obnoxious when other vocal coaches do that only to show off their vocal prowess 😂 also appreciated your brief intro on the singers and overall thoughts about the song lyrics in this series! Please do more of these; hoping to see JJ Lin (林俊傑) too - some emotional ballads you could check out are 修炼爱情 and 那些你很冒险的梦. Lyrics are deep but it’s the kind that I figure a lot out there would resonate with 💕

Love the way you extrapolate the sentiments of the first song. Lyrics are modern poetry. So concise yet powerful! P.S. Two thumbs up on your Chinese learning progress 👍😊👍

The pride of Singapore... I was fortunate enough to be on duty as a crowd control officer at one of her very first shows when she started out. She was singing at a 'side stage' for a National Day concert. I remember this skinny lass walking on stage looking NOTHING like a celebrity or singer, nobody knew her... I think she was still in university or had just graduated at that time. But when she opened her mouth and sing.... OMG!!! PS:- the percussionist/drummer is Mohamed Noor, a living local sessionist legend. Very honoured to have known him and worked in the same club he played in some 20 years ago. Currently he is working on a project with a Live-loop guitarist/musician here.

Stefanie sun is such an underrated singer. At one point she dethrones jay chou but didn’t stay in the industry long enough, where she decided to quit the industry to pursue love 🥲

我超愛她❤❤❤ 從小學11歲到我現在33歲OMG 每張專輯我都有買每一首歌我都好喜歡🥰

Hi Joe. Glad that i got to know more and more about you through your journey reacting to Chinese music. At first i just thought o another guy, and there were enough wonderful pieces of chinese music live to surprise him rightfully. Then you continued to show your sincere interest in them, your instrumental skills, your spot-on interpretion of the lyrics which are often implicit by the language nature, your intention to know more about chinese culture, and this time, your great empathy. You are one of fav music reactor now and I hope all the better best on your way!

Stef Sun has got MANY amazing songs with great, meaningful lyrics. I grew up with so many many of her songs. I hope you will enjoy more of them!

燕姿的歌就是这样让人感同身受❤

雖然我才23歲但是我已經把"我懷念的"列為最愛好久了,這首歌的歌詞是我看過最美的最有感觸的,層層堆疊的情緒加上孫燕姿獨特的聲調,雖然字詞很簡單但是卻跟joe說的一樣直抵人心 這樣的歌詞在現在這個時代基本看不到了

Heard this song before. But never know this song is this good till today.

I really admire your interpretation on the lyrics

Joy是真正的音乐人…音乐无国界，他的泪水也感染了我…

初聞不知曲中意，再聞已是曲中人。 既然已是曲中人，何必再聽曲中曲。 曲中輕憶夢中人，夢醒時分嘆紅塵。 曲終人散夢已醒，何處再尋夢中人。 夢中合唱鳳求凰，夢醒獨奏離別賦。 即知曲人存於夢，何故執於曲外人。 多少痴夢多少等，難訴痴情曲中人。 一蕭一頁紅塵事，一弦一曲了人生。 既然已是曲中人，何必再悟曲中意。 不願再做曲中人，奈何越聽越沉淪。 曲中曲，人中人，曲散人終離，曲終人散早成空。 一曲肝腸斷，天涯何處覓知音。

Joe 講得很好，有時後情感的適時克制，這種以退為進的內斂，往往更能觸動人心 QQ

This is amazing, this lyric is written into my heart

旋律與氣息、聲調的轉換真的很能觸動人心， 男歌手中我覺得 韋禮安 也對這部分很厲害

作詞：姚若龍 作曲：李偲菘 編曲：Martin Tang

Stefanie Sun is one of my favorite singers. Her songs include joy and sadness. Maybe you can try listening to the song "First Day" and you will have different feelings.

Some lyrics really touched our deepest heard. Another song is 浮夸 from Eason Chen, sings the small wills of our ordinary people but still want to be look after. Really touching.

another song "我不難過" is perfect like this song ,I'm crying too~@@

燕姿绝对是我们新加坡人的骄傲，她的歌声会直击人的心灵深处，让听的人瞬间潸然泪下，是她无穷的魅力所在，很可惜新加坡的年轻人太崇尚欧美音乐及文化，他们甚至不知道燕姿、俊杰和健雅是何人，真的很可悲，令人叹惜的是新加坡今后已很难再有这些叱咤华语乐坛的歌手了！😢😢

You didn’t mention her very rare & unique vocals and singing style which she can proudly call her own. To date, nobody has been able to sing her way.
