The lyrics of the song "Overcast" have a distinctive style unique to Jonathan Lee, similar to the "白描" style in Chinese Literature (The plain sketch technique, simply put, involves describing a scene or story through straightforward and simple sentences. Initially a method in Chinese painting, it later extended into Chinese literature.). Through some seemingly unrelated and plain descriptions, it creates an atmosphere. The entire song, much like its title "Overcast," conveys a "gloomy" feeling, a sense of low energy (丧丧的感觉) . After "Overcast," Jonathan Lee wrote another song for Karen Mok called "Twelfth Floor," which shares the same stylistic features as "Overcast," both exuding a low energy and calmly feeling. 《阴天》这首歌的歌词有李宗盛特有的一种类似于中国画“白描”的风格特点。通过一些前后关系不大的平淡描述来呈现出一种氛围。 整首歌如同曲名《阴天》一样，是一种“丧丧”的感觉，一种低能量的感觉。 《阴天》之后，李宗盛给莫文蔚另外写过一首歌《十二楼》，其风格特点和《阴天》一样，都是一种“丧”的感觉。
A reminder: a lot of comments recommending 罗大佑 （Tayu Lo), another Tainwanese grand master of pop music equally or even higher recognized than李宗盛. Lo has more socially-historically meaningful and profound lyrics even in those classic folk love songs, as well as catchy melodies.
Love these videos! Highly recommend listening to anything by Crowd Lu (盧廣仲) next! He's a phenomenal singer/songwriter from Taiwan. Some great songs are: 大人中，一坪半，刻在我心底的名字，etc. Also, from Mainland China, 五條人 is a great band with some awesome character: 阿珍愛上了阿強，鮮花在岸上開，夢幻丽莎发廊， etc.
陰天and給自己的歌，are Jonathan Lee's feel about his second wife. 陰天at 1999, the end of his second merraige. The song is not for Karen at all, is not like the other Jonathan's song,the others are all written for that singer, and is about the life story of that singer, that's why it is a little bit strange.
Sorry, Chinese lyrics just cannot be translated into English. How would it be Chinese poetry anymore when it's filtered into English?!?! LOL. To understand Chinese poetry you'd just have to learn Chinese to the level where you FEEL the language, especially when it's put to melody, the rhyming, the rhythm, the cadence, the nuances. This song gets me EVERYTIME.
看了很多您的影片,唯獨缺少了另一位教父級別的音樂.也是位醫生,且做了非常多的經典傳世歌曲. 羅大佑
13歲成長到27歲還是最愛她，當初聽現場演唱會讓我再次確認她是女神。
這首歌詞的中文使用的非常柔和，但總是可以看到很細膩的情緒，用很輕鬆的方式回憶自己的愛恨情仇，笑笑地說，當初的我傻的有點可愛。
思緒、沉澱、你情我願、呼之欲出、細微末節，這些字詞都應用的很中性，不帶批判性，可心底裡還是對自己的過往有個主觀的詮釋，女人傻(楚楚可憐)自我感動式的付出自己的一切、男人壞(百口莫辯)背叛、玩弄、不珍惜，證據都蒐集完整了還是不願意承認，因為不成熟，一方需要被愛來證明自己的價值、一方透過付出來證明自己的價值，因此湊在一起都是緣分，緣份散了，但情緒仍然在某些孤單寂靜的時候會被回想起來，導致思緒複雜。
陰天悶悶的、陰鬱的，不開燈的房間，偷偷哭的時候也不會有人發現，是個安全、孤單的小角落。以上是我的小小心得。

陰天 在不開燈的房間 當所有思緒都一點一點沈澱
Overcast, in a room, lights off. Let all thoughts and emotions precipitate bit by bit.
愛情終究是精神鴉片 還是世紀末的無聊消遣
Is love the spiritual opiate, or a banal entertainment at turn of the century?
香煙 氳成一攤光圈 和他的照片就擺在手邊
Cigarette smoke turns into an aperture, with his photo right by her side.
傻傻倆個人 笑得多甜
That silly couple. How sweet their smile was.
開始總是分分鐘 都妙不可言 誰都以為熱情它永不會減
In the beginning every minute was brilliant. All assume that passion would never recede,
除了激情褪去後的那一點點倦
except a sliver of fatigue that intense loving left behind.
也許像誰說過的貪得無厭
Perhaps it’s “infinite greed” like some have said,
活該應了誰說過的不知檢點
or it’s deserving “shamelessness” like some have prophesized.
總之那幾年 感性贏了理性那一面
Regardless, sensibility defeated sense in those years.
陰天 在不開燈的房間 當所有思緒都一點一點沈澱

愛恨情慾裡的 疑點 盲點 呼之欲出 那麼明顯
Mysteries and blind spots in love, hate, and desires are all screamingly obvious.
女孩 通通讓到一邊 這歌裡的細微末節就算都體驗
All girls step aside, to live the nuances of this song,
若想真明白 真要好幾年
even if you can see through them, it takes a few years.
回想那一天 喧鬧的喜宴
Reminiscing the day of the extravagant wedding banquet,
耳邊想起的究竟是序曲 或完結篇
was the music prelude or the finale?
感情不就是你情我願 最好愛狠扯平倆不相欠
Love ought to be mutually willing. It’s best to be equally debt free in love and hate.
感情說穿了 一人掙脫的 一人去撿
To be candid, love is one breaking away and another picking it up.
男人大可不必 百口莫辯 女人實在無須 楚楚可憐
No need for men to argue with the world; no need for women to be delicately pitiful.

翻譯得超棒
陰天也是我蠻喜歡的一首歌, 很高興看到你分享這首歌
Actually in this song, each lyric ends with a word whose Chinese pronunciation ends with AN which makes this song more rhythmic.
謝謝Joe老師對文字,詞曲意涵與創作人做瞭解後客觀專業的評論賞析~
One of my favorite Karen Mok's song..
This is my cousin's KTV favorite!!
Mine as well.
我覺得整首歌是建立在陰天讓人情緒低落，引發對過去的追憶，當身處於情緒的低谷中，思緒沉澱後慢慢思索愛的意義。說到一切的愛都是你情我願，是從上一個手中接下的，其中的愛恨猜疑與交鋒令人疲累，而最開始傻傻的純真的愛戀是那甜蜜。透露出人在情愛中成長卻也逐漸失去一開始的純愛之心

＜感情說穿了，一人掙脫了，一人去撿＞
這句平淡的歌詞，解答多少人對感情的疑惑。
歌词其实比较触动人心。说的是一段感情结束后，开始释怀，开始看淡，回想起来又是那么甜蜜，依然心酸。这段舞台表演可以说和歌词没什么关联，毕竟是二十多年前的老歌，人人都非常熟悉，现在是变着花样来演绎让听众有新鲜感。
感觉20年前第一次听MTV时感觉更好
Ooh love the cheeky brass bits in Jonathan Lee's version!
The pianist is a famous music producer in mainland China: Yadong Zhang.
弹琴的是张亚东啊。Double check了一下，确实是张亚东。
没错
Joe你听歌为什么一直咽口水
兩個版本都愛,依然是喜歡她的人她的歌,李宗盛的版本隨著年紀越大越有共鳴!!
歌詞....經典之作！
A reminder: a lot of comments recommending 罗大佑 （Tayu Lo), another Tainwanese grand master of pop music equally or even higher recognized than李宗盛. Lo has more socially-historically meaningful and profound lyrics even in those classic folk love songs, as well as catchy melodies.

我超爱卢广仲 好像要挥霍 我爱你 都好好听
the pianist is a great composer as well, check him out ZHANG YA DONG
first come first serve
虽然非常喜欢这首歌，但在钢琴上摸大腿展示性感的安排真得让我有点尬到，有点破坏这首歌的意境。
Karen is a well-known actress and singer from China and Hong Kong. The last time I read that her new partner is German.
李宗盛真是台灣老一代音樂神人
這舞台魅力太頂了
这首歌最适合还真就是“阴天，再不开灯的房间”去听，真的很容易代入情绪。现场版太多干扰了😂
Diva
钢琴演奏者叫张亚东，是内地很有名很优秀的音乐制作人。大陆地下摇滚乐出身，做过王菲的《你快乐所以我快乐》《只爱陌生人》，做过李宇春、张靓颖，也做过很多摇滚乐队。
可以的话可以多听听梁博的现场 非常不错
please react to Empty world by Karen Mok. It's my favorite song of her
陰天這首歌甚至那張專輯 是我國小到國三是我最喜歡專輯之一
陰天and給自己的歌，are Jonathan Lee's feel about his second wife. 陰天at 1999, the end of his second merraige.
The song is not for Karen at all, is not like the other Jonathan's song,the others are all written for that singer, and is about the life story of that singer, that's why it is a little bit strange.
有機會請一定要聽聽李宗盛本人在演唱會的版本。
Her father is a legend in 風水
這麼欣賞李宗盛的話
不妨聽聽當年他為辛曉琪打造的"領悟"
讓辛曉琪跳槽後一炮而紅成為療傷歌后的關鍵歌曲
這首詞也是超級貼近女人心建議聽MV版本原汁原味
弹钢琴的好像是张亚东啊
李宗盛的歌好適合女人來詮釋
我想推荐一个我非常喜欢，但是听众两极分化的一位歌手，祁紫檀。推荐她的 天际大厦、过期少女致幻录 、我有一把枪、后青年启示录
国内当代的话，怎么会没有听许巍朴树呢？
说起李宗盛，我也想推荐一下罗大佑（LoTaYou）《你的样子》《未来的主人翁》《爱人同志》等等等等....
记得看过一些李的采访 这首歌其实描述的是现代的一种都市情感 男女的感情像快餐一样 从互相喜欢到猜忌到分离甚至到吵架 歌词更多的是对于社会现象的剖析 从而反映出摩登时代衍生来的有点扭曲的气息 客观来讲这种解读我觉得是比以个人视角来看更准确的 当然了每个人都可以有自己的看法
阴天作曲是李宗盛的御用编曲Mac Chew,推荐去听一首歌曲Hijau,主唱是Zainal Abidin🙂
或許可以聽聽原版MV版本
czcams.com/video/tYWufUugeUc/video.html&pp=ygUG6Zmw5aSp
那種低吟淺唱百無聊賴的感覺以及編曲對愛情的各種體會其實我覺得更勝演唱會表演風格
還有搭配著MV畫面可能比較容易讓你有更多四溢的想法火花冒出來想較之下我各覺得比較有真實呈現了李大師想要的風味
推荐赵雷
更喜欢李宗盛的版本，也喜欢你的分享💕💕💕
最喜愛的歌聲莫文蔚
我的女神!
莫闻味
给你推荐一首王菲的歌 《执迷不悔》

This song gets me EVERYTIME.
@@Jumpoable 同意！我在学习中文所以我懂一点 😁
莫文蔚的版本，有女人对已经逝去的感情的缠绵和不舍。李宗盛的版本，是男人过尽千帆后的，豁达和放手。
你看我她演的双刀火鸡和白晶晶吗？回魂夜也有出色表演，她是一个标准的星女郎，不算是个歌手。
她以香港女歌手身份於臺灣金曲獎創下多項驕人紀錄。 她是首位奪得《最佳國語女歌手獎(金曲獎)》及《最佳國語專輯獎(金曲獎)》，亦是首位兩度奪得「金曲歌后」的香港女歌手，其間還多次入圍，具有特色的嗓音和感情表現，對於台灣人而言，她是歌手多於演員。
推荐 罗大佑： 你的样子 这首歌作为分析歌曲。希望有一天听到点评❤
雖然莫文蔚唱得經典 , 但李宗盛自己唱得比較動人
弹琴的是张亚东吗…………
罗大佑，罗大佑英文名是啥？兄弟们帮推荐一下。
LoTaYou
Jonathan lo
But still no one can compare with Jay Chou.
強烈推薦去看食神(God of Cookery)，莫文蔚真的很厲害
54歲的女人❤❤❤❤❤OMG😂❤
阴天好多版本，最不喜欢这一场，尤其是作为一个没有听过这首歌的人第一次观赏，舞台噱头太多，喧宾夺主
i think faye wong would sing it better.
閉嘴吧！你沒聽過的多的去🙄
You spoiled the song with your unnecessary interruptions.
Oh come on
No one stop you from playing the song's video instead of video of ppl review/react to the song. Mind your own business
sorry I dont like that
