Lyrics nowadays are usually about love. If you are fed up with these love songs, you should try something new.
My favourite lyricist is Vincent Fang Wen-shan (), who writes most of Jay Chou's songs. Lots of people know him because of Chou, but his amazing creativity has surprised everyone.
Fang writes about different topics, such as opposing violence, historical items and the cultures of different places. His works have helped re-awaken an interest in history and culture among many people.
Fang's Zhi Zhan Zhi Shang ( ) is one of my favourite songs. The lyrics revolve around the lives of poor children in a war-ravaged zone.
He has won various awards and they motivate him to produce better lyrics. Now, he is also writing books, which is great news for his fans. If you listen to his great compositions, you will learn much more about life.
