HIGH LIFE #13 Oct 2017 19 “对音乐的热情是源于对生活的热爱，因为两者是息息相 关密不可分的。每个人对于生命和生活都有自己的诠释。 “于我而言，最好的诠释就是音乐，因为音乐包含了一切 生命的律动。从在母亲肚子里听到母亲的心跳，到出生长大， 我们一直都在听到各式各样的律动，不管是自然还是人工的。 这些都是音乐的根本。” 他从不为自己贴上完美主义者的标签，而是为自己留出空 间去接受生活当中的不完美。如今他早已摒弃掉以前自我陶醉 的演出方式，而是秉持一种不同的心态登台演出。 “追求完美当然是好的，但有时候我们要学会如何放手， 因为生活有很多你控制不了的问题和状况，如果被这些影响到 心情，我相信事情反而会更不完美。凡事只要尽力，至于结果 能否达到预期，我现在比较能够放手。 “过去我会想要透过每一次的演出来表现、证明甚至超越 自己，但现在我会更加注重与台下观众的交流。我不需要透过 台上的成功来证明自己，所以现在反而会站在台下观众的立场 来做表演。 “这些年来，对于舞台的心情和态度都发生了变化。分享 音乐是主要目的。这样的态度让我更享受舞台，更轻松自然， 观众也更能享受演出。” Chang’s focus of late has been on recording a new album, with three songs already released online – “Loving a girl,” “Speak” and “Migrate.” “Loving a girl” is a song inspired by folk music, while “Migrate” features a taste of British rock and “Speak” is a mix of electronic and classical music. Together, this blend of genres enables Chang to show off his many ways of interpreting love songs, which has come to be his forte. “Passion for music comes from passion for life, as these two things are inseparable. Individuals can define life and communicate its existence in numerous ways,” he says. “For me, I communicate through music and its vibes. From the moment we feel our mother’s heartbeat when inside her belly to our birth and throughout the process of growing up, we hear all kinds of vibes, whether it is from a man-made source or nature. These can all be considered the roots of music.”
