"The Greatest Work"
Words: Huang Junlang/Xie Di
Brother is wearing a retro suit
Playing magic music with a cane
Strolling through the time of Samaritan that has been renovated by the years
An empire without boundaries is built with musical notes The throne of success
I used the keys to travel 1920 The immortality that I missed
Ah, the paranoia is the apple that Magritte conjured by me
The surreal thing is that I am still the clown he originally wanted to draw
The pipe that is not a pipe, the dove on the face is not there Fly away
Please remember that he is a painter, not a bartender
Dali Hu, who bent the spoon for his thinking, borrowed your inspiration without giving it back to me
Whether it is the clock on the wall or the cheese lobster that is melting, you don't even answer the other end of the phone. My
wandering is the most free and unrestrained ink in secular paintings
The elegant legs of flowers are a touch of the universe's brush
The nostalgia that travels across the ocean is planted in the gentleness of nothing
Only the lonely branches can grow the flowers that Sanyu wants.
The boat quietly goes back and forth to the coast of Matisse.
The night under the stars is left to Van Gogh to light it.
The dream of beauty is too short. Screaming on the Munch Bridge.
The excitement in this world comes from loneliness.
The flowing sunshine and air in the garden sway with the fragrance of flowers.
I beg you not. Can I do you a favor and take a self-portrait?
The master looked into the distance and studied the shapes of colors.
Suddenly he turned around and asked me to tell me about my impression of myself.
The king of crazy music of the generation surrendered to my movement.
The road is still going. I am still there. The melody created at the fingertips is the king of crazy music of the generation
I think I don’t need a picture frame
It can’t frame the speed of the keys. All my notes are future art
The sunrise is in the port of impressions, and the light coming and going wakes up the sleeping ones. The flowers and leaves
The grass is joyful for a light rain. We love each other deeply in this world.
The butterfly parked on Cambridge flew to the emerald green on the midnight river.
Regret was accidentally hidden in the poem page. It is a world where even a smile cannot penetrate.
The Sentimental Grammar of Paris needs to be read with music
The traveler’s scented tea under the lamp of the evening breeze I changed to coffee
After that, he fell in love with the complex word bitter
Because this is what it feels like to wave goodbye to the clouds
Small boat Quietly traveling to and from the coast of Matisse
Let Van Gogh light the night under the starry sky
Dreams of beauty are too short, shouting on the Munch Bridge
The excitement in this world comes from loneliness
(End)
Huang Junlang explains that most of the words in the lyrics will correspond To a painting, a book of prose, a poem or an allusion, there are many paintings that vaguely appear in it, such as "The Son of Man", "The Rebellion of Image", "The Man in the Bowler Hat", "The Man Who Is Not a Pipe Smoker" "Pipe", "Lunch on the Grass", "Potted Flowers", "Nude with Bent Legs" and so on. The installation art probably only has the lobster phone, and the underlying poems and prose also include "Accidental", "Farewell Cambridge", "A Night in the Emerald Green", "A Night in Paris" Scale Claw" and so on.

Some fans said that the MV of this song can be seen as Jay Chou's version of "Midnight in Paris". Huang Junlang explained that the title of the song "The Greatest Work" has many meanings, "...the most amazing art." The point is that it allows you to have "self-negative emotions" and "extreme and persistent thoughts" that may be difficult for others to accept in life, because you can be praised and appreciated through creation, and become the most positive and greatest existence. Only art can transform those thoughts, willful words and deeds, absurd life, and desolate loneliness that are not recognized by the people around them into the most beautiful and fascinating existence.”
Music critic: We don’t always have to. To be surprised
music critic Sanshi Yiyi also spoke highly of the "The Greatest Work" MV, "It sounds very good, even great! This kind of greatness is not only the rich arrangement and reasonable distribution of the instrumental music in this song, but also the It’s because Jay Chou’s music has always had an online aesthetic and a great state over the years.” He said that Classic+Melodic Rap+Pop is the typical European flavor of “Chapter 7 of the Night”, “In the Name of the Father” and “Nocturne”. There is still some style from "Prague Square", it's the authentic Jay Chou! “I want to say: Jay Chou’s greatness lies in his true nature and flavor."

"He said that this is a very Jay Chou new song, "If the song is good, it is definitely good, but some people may say that it doesn't have a very special feeling, or that there are no surprises, but we don't always have to be surprised! It’s good to have fun listening to a song! As for Jay Chou, this is his meaning now. "
