Jonathan Lee "Since youth can't stay, it's better to be an uncle."

After a long time, there was not much music creation in Jonathan Lee's life, only "company, factory, home". With reference to his hand-made "Li Guitar", the factory also established the China handmade guitar brand. In his view, playing guitar is not his leisure hobby, but a new profession and major. To this end, he specialized in learning from teachers, because he wanted to "make a guitar, be myself and realize my dream."

When people thought that Jonathan Lee could not write songs, compose music or even make music after experiencing emotional setbacks, he said, "My earliest dream was to be a carpenter. I think carpentry is a magical job." However, due to the long production cycle and busy work, the piano for one or two months is still relatively productive for him. Friends in the circle, such as Tayu Lo, Emil Wakin Chau, Chen Qizhen and Mayday, are all composing with Jonathan Lee's handmade guitars. He said, "I am very happy to share my dream with them."

For Jonathan Lee, the creation is inseparable from the guitar, but in fact the guitar is of great significance to him. From an early age, Jonathan Lee was sensitive and quiet, with delicate feelings but poor expression. The only communication is the guitar in his hand, which is another lover of Jonathan Lee. "Just like when we write a song, before listening to anyone, of course, the piano knows first. Gene knows all your secrets, so when you look at a pile of wood, several pieces of wood start from scratch, and then you touch it, observe it and imagine it. When you are playing with it, you are waiting for it to give you a return. I have some feelings in my heart, and I won't go away for a long time. "

As a musician, making handmade guitars is an extension of music life, while as a father, Jonathan Lee is a little selfish. He divided his guitar into several series and named it after his daughter, so he got Li Guitars in J series, S series and H series. He said that even if he can't keep his music, if he makes the piano well, it may become his daughter's property in the future.

Yes, this is Jonathan Lee full of fatherly love. He enjoyed the gift from God. "Being a father is a glorious thing and the most wonderful experience in the world." Because of her daughter's company, Jonathan Lee's heart became softer and stronger. As long as working hours permit, he gets off work at 5: 30 every day on time, rides a bike on the crowded North Fourth Ring Road, buys food and cooks, and must go out with his daughters before going to bed.

Every time the topic about her daughter is mentioned in an interview, Jonathan Lee, who is shy and serious, will become talkative and even ask the program to "record four episodes"! At the concert, he was moved to tears when he sang the songs written for his three lovely daughters, Three Things in Azong, Hope and Journey.

These are the lives of Lao Li in recent years, which are regular and similar. Just one night in 2008, the chat on the wine table made the original simple and ordinary life agitated again because of the music, and people who like Lao Li began to throb: Jonathan Lee came back, and he had a brand-new identity, one of the vertical members.

The formation of the band originated from a small dinner after the New Year. At that time, there were Chung-Tan Duann, the owner of Rolling Stone Records, and Tayu Lo and Jonathan Lee. Three friends chatted all over the world. When talking well, they mentioned the band. After drinking a dozen bottles of red wine, things were settled.

From this point of view, it seems that "to create extraordinary things, do extraordinary damage first!" The story of the vertical line declared by the trend seems a bit random at the beginning. But I didn't want the three of them to remember what they said on the wine table after that small gathering, and immediately invited their friends Emil Wakin Chau and Zhang Zhenyue to form a band together, so this China-class band with "four people together, total age 190 years old, and debut qualification of 86 years" was formally established at the click.

Their singing styles are completely different, but the same thing is that they all choose to sing their delicate feelings about life in the form of songs. The band released three albums, namely, All Lines Open to Traffic, Trains in the North, and Special Lines in the South, among which The Desperado, Brothers and Sisters in the Vertical Line, Expressway, and Tears of Angels became the classic tracks in the vertical line. Their concerts have covered almost all parts of the country: Taiwan Province Province in 2009, Hong Kong in 2009, Beijing in 2009, Changshu in 2009 ... and they have also won many awards such as the model award for newcomers in Chinese music and the artist of the year award.

Vertical line-illegal

On 1994 "Jonathan Lee Farewell Concert", Sandy Lam was invited to appear as a guest at the concert. With long shawl hair, small eyes and jeans, she warmly greeted the audience and Jonathan Lee. Before the song began, Jonathan Lee introduced everyone with an indescribable excited smile: "The following song is When Love Is Past, and this is my good friend." Then he patted Sandy Lam on the shoulder and said, "I'm nervous." Sandy Lam replied shyly, "I'm nervous, too." This brief interaction, at that time, had seen that the two seemed to have feelings, but in fact they were embarrassed.

Some people say that Sandy Lam is the woman that Jonathan Lee really loves. At this time, Zhu Weiyin gave up her job as a DJ in Hongkong and came to Taiwan Province with Jonathan Lee. Although she has always been regarded as a woman with a strong voice, this time she realized that Jonathan Lee seems to have met his true love. In this complicated relationship, the attitudes of the three people are completely different.

Jonathan Lee, for his part, said that he needed to leave the music world for a while and figure out what he really wanted. Sandy Lam chose to leave Hong Kong and emigrate to Canada, while Zhu Weiyin maintained its relationship with Jonathan Lee with understanding and tolerance.

For feelings, Jonathan Lee did not explain too much in the media. Although there are various versions of his story with Sandy Lam, he only said: Everything he wants to say is in this song. The emotional entanglement between 1994- 1996 may really only be realized in songs.

This song "I Understand", which appeared in Sandy Lam 1996 album "It's Too Dark at Night", met her fans after she returned to China. This is another classic song of his collaboration with Jonathan Lee. With their deep love, it seems that this tangled relationship has some eyebrows.

1997, Jonathan Lee ended her marriage with Zhu Weiyin for nearly ten years. This year, Zhu Weiyin not only suffered the misfortune of marriage, but also suffered the pain of losing his parents. The strong woman finally survived on her own. Jonathan Lee is full of guilt, but she can't deceive her sincerity towards another woman. From 65438 to 0998, Jonathan Lee and Sandy Lam entered the marriage hall hand in hand, and the couple ended their love-hate relationship for more than five years.

The combination of the two not only has the crystallization of love, but also presents one classic song after another for fans in music. Jonathan Lee has found his former creative state, and it is getting better and better. But after the story, as they sang in the song of their first cooperation, all love became a thing of the past.

Jonathan Lee-sonorous roses wash away music.

Nowadays, Lao Li is familiar with all kinds of kitchen utensils and shares his fun on some TV programs, but he sings fewer songs and talks more about life. And those who have heard him sing will suddenly think of their past when they wake up in their dreams. There used to be a Jonathan Lee. ...
