In the very beginning of civilization, literal record is vital, so this is the sub-meaning of Jay’s song The Love Before Christ(2001) named. I don’t know why the melody of this song keep hovering over me these days. But this reminds me a lot of the singer. Though I got know Jay from his first album, but it was the The Love Before Christ let me get the conclusion that Jay is definitely a genius.

Especially this sect of lyric, “I feel so tried, when I found my homeland is still so far away. I’m afraid that I’d never back to your side.” moved me.
To claim the homeland is in the process to find oneself, is the bitter of heart traveling. And to call out the lover, is to express sincere affection.

However, the entertainment industry ruined Jay completely, now he stop his thinking of pains. So does David Tao, their virtue gone with the entertainment.

耳畔不知为何一直萦绕着《爱在西元前》的词曲，在这首Jay的代表作发售的开始，《爱在西元前》和Jay同时饱受大众舆论的赞扬与贬低。然而在那个时候，我认为我看到了一个音乐的天才。不仅仅是因为对一个古老文明下爱情的追述，而是完全因为这一句歌词：“我感到很疲倦/ 离家乡还是很远/ 害怕再也不能回到你身边”。 就这样简单的三句，却句句都有深远的意韵，仿佛是《诗三百》的再现。
“感到很疲倦”是一种对心灵疲苦的袒露；
“离家乡还是很远”更是有一种唐诗般的旅人羁苦的再度演绎，渴望回归和救赎，令人感动；
而最后一句“害怕不能回到你身边”更是一种真挚情感的自然流露，将东方古典情愫表露得淋漓尽致。

与许多愤怒者对Jay的理解不同，他们只是将Jay当作了一个流行符号而去批判。我宁愿去通过这样的解构来认识Jay的潜力；这样令人感动的词句，虽然只是灵光一现，但我相信。

然而也许他们是对的，尽管Jay可能本身不是他们所谓的彻透彻脑的流行符号，但这一切都不重要了，因为娱乐界的产业运作很容易实现这一点，Jay开始逐渐失去他自己的声音，他无法也不能再度沉浸下来，去写出如此感动的诗句。可怕的是娱乐产业的转轮还在一直转动，David将是这个转轮的又一牺牲品吗？Dear God.
