Jay Chou Qi Li Xiang (Common Jasmine Orange)

Jay Chou Qi Li Xiang (The Common Jasmine Orange) is from Jay's Qi Li Xiang 5th album. It is a very Eastern feel of soft rock. Jay's partner - Fan Wen Shan, wrote the lyric in a poem style unlike the ones he had wrote before.

If you read the lyrics closely, you will realize that Jay is actually painting a word picture. The whole lyric is full of visulization. As you read the lyrics and listen to the music, you will find yourself looking outside the window. Outside the window you realize that the sparrows are having a small concert on the electricity poles.

As the music follows, you then find yourself seeing a couple sitting in a room chatting. The guy is writing a poem for the girl and the girl is giving the guy inspirations.

Take your time to ponder this song through.
