專輯介紹

TALENT
如果說每一個抉擇都將開啟一段截然不同的未來，那麼能夠一路漂漂亮亮地走到這裡，肯定也是一種才華。
“If every choice will unfold itself to a different reality, then getting to where I am must be some kind of talent.”

『TALENT』作為 The Crane 的第一張專輯，是一幅此刻原真的靜態截圖，也是集其28年成長歲月的奇幻錄像。飛行過程像是潛入他意外夢見的過往，時序偶有人工動刀的跡象；若感覺一氣呵成，則並非偶然，天秤座愛面子，方方面面皆是精雕細琢。偶遇亂流波盪、風景變換之處，則是內心實話浮現的詞句。
As The Crane’s first album, TALENT is a faithful capture of his current status, also a magical culmination of 28 years living. The album feels like stepping into his memory lane by accident, but maybe it’s not. It’s definitely not a coincidence that the listening experience feels “natural”, that’s what perfection-seeking Libras love to do.

When you feel the turbulence, the change in the music, those are the unfiltered thoughts that came to The Crane’s mind.

『TALENT』也是氣宇軒昂的宣告之作，有細節斐然的復古曲目「Natural Ability」，以扎實的器樂致敬七零年代靈魂樂；有與 ØZI 合作的殘暴屠龍之歌「The Dragon Song」，氣焰逼人、實則為兄弟打鬧；也有「不介意」這樣漫不經心的時髦情歌，表情不怎麼樣，心裡早就愛得死去活來。
TALENT is also a statement piece, with “Natural Ability” filled with nostalgia and talented instrumentalists on the track, the track pays tribute to The Crane’s beloved Soul Music in the seventies. The collaboration track with ØZI “The Dragon Song”, while sounding braggadocious, turns out to be just brothers having fun. There’s also chic love songs like “Don’t Mind” for you to pretend you don’t care, even if you're already in love.

The Crane 一如往常地包辦音樂製作，也幾乎編寫了全部曲目。不同的是這張專輯多了許多真實樂器的錄製，更邀請落日飛車的貝斯手弘禮、熱帶浪漫鼓手雷擎、JADE 的吉他手魯綱宇、Karencici 的製作人kvn等人，分別在不同曲目跨刀演奏，將 The Crane 的音樂又抬升到了新的雲層。
The Crane finished everything from writing to production as usual in this album, the difference is in trying to capture more live instruments in the studio this time, inviting bassist Hung-Li from Sunset Rollercoaster, drummer L8ching, guitarist Kyle Lu from JADE, kvn the producer of Karencici, showing their talents on different tracks, elevating The Cranes music to another level.

「如果一切的經歷都是為了讓我走到這，早知道用飛的」但後悔的心情讓人不再犯錯，先唱衰自己再讓別人看得起你，我偏不要，連這篇專輯介紹都是自己寫的？？這場驚人的內心戲，一步步都是險棋，卻準備對你的癢處一路暴擊。
The Crane refuses to stick himself to a genre he’s already known for, walking on a tightrope while treading new musical territories. He’s never playing the “be humble just to likable” game, always aiming at what you are yearning to listen to, and giving you the headshot.

全專輯歌曲介紹
1. Natural Ability
作為專輯的開場曲目，The Crane 致敬了自己一直喜愛的七零年代摩城唱片，在循序漸進的律動下，一層一層揭開色彩斑斕的序幕。
一首首的創作就像是一場場旅行，每一次的天人交戰都是為了一睹最珍稀的風景。踏破鐵鞋無覓處，風景一直在心中，呼吸吐納便是最真實的創作，這正是「自然的本能」。
此曲邀請到落日飛車的貝斯手弘禮彈奏貝斯、並由雷擎打鼓，節奏組與弦樂交織出一幅壯麗的美景。
As the opening of the album, The Crane pays tribute and shows his love towards the classic sounds of Motown Records in the seventies. Steadily building up the groove with the aid of bass player Hung-Li from Sunset Rollercoaster, drummer L8ching, and a lovely string quartet, the story unfolds as the music proceeds.
Every creation of a song feels like a journey, an uphill battle against yourself to have a glimpse at the finest scenes. But maybe, don’t try too hard next time, just follow your instincts. Your “natural ability” will guide you through, and take you to the place where you should be.

2. 不介意
與心愛的人在一起，不論在哪裡都不介意。
“I don’t mind where I am, as long as I’m with you.”

3. PRINCESS
繼歌曲〈拉麵公子〉之後，鶴The Crane將在12月發行首張全長度專輯。
〈PRINCESS〉作為第一首前導單曲，以滂薄的史詩感營造中世紀風情，講述一段平凡卻虐人的愛情故事，我愛你但我更恨你、冷戰既是愛也是懲罰，但即便感情有毒，我們還是得走下去。

4. The Dragon Song (feat. ØZI)
The Crane 首次與師兄ØZI合作，在氣勢滂薄的 Gospel 曲風與 Trap Beat 結合下，兩人亦剛亦柔、也饒也唱，碰撞出氣場強大又獨特的化學效應。
今晚我要告訴你什麼是愛，愛是願意為了妳殺一條龍，料理最珍稀的食材、擺出一桌奇異佳餚；愛是揮舞魔杖下的絢麗把戲，今晚，就讓我馴服妳內心的野獸。
兩位屠龍高手強勢組隊，在一片斷垣殘壁中宣告，這裡有著最不容質疑的才華。
The first collaboration between The Crane and label-mate ØZI shows great chemistry, the two flow effortlessly on the Gospel/Trap beat, both switching up their routines by singing and rapping at the same time, stunning everyone with their unlimited talents.

Tonight I’m going to show you what love is, love is willing to kill a dragon for you, hunt for the rarest materials, just to cook you a comforting meal. Love is a glamorous trick with the wave of a wand, tonight, let me tame the beast inside you.
Two dragon slayers teamed up and put out a statement you can’t deny, there’s some serious talent here, their love you can’t resist.

5. 還不想睡
一次次受傷卻一次次冒險，我們愛看愛罵、也愛裝的豁達。如果能不投入感情就好了，就再也不會搞砸。
We’ve all been through pain, but we still keep falling in love. We’d love to pretend we don’t care, but we can’t help indulging in the downward spiral. What if we could just walk away? None of us can.

6. Pain Hasn’t Hit Me
The Crane 形容失去親人時，「疼痛來的特別慢」，彷彿他們只是去了很遠的地方；又或者只有這麼做，才能真正消化掉所有的痛楚，直到有一天不再難過。
在青少年時失去父親，就像是人生漏掉了幾堂課，必須自己面對、自己學會，但心裡永遠像個小孩。拿起了父親的車鑰匙，開著車到處走，但我該要何去何從？我會永遠嚮往從前單純的日子，但我的旅程才要開始。
The Crane describes the feeling of losing someone that is close to him,“The pain comes in really slowly, as if it hasn’t hit me yet.” Maybe our close ones have just gone to a place that’s so far away, or maybe that’s the only way for us to process all that pain.
Losing his father in his adolescence feels like a few classes skipped in life. Having to learn to handle things on his own, The Crane feels like he’ll always be a child at heart. He took his father’s car keys and started to drive, but had no destination in mind. “Where to go and where to live? Better days are that I’ve missed, but now I’m on my trip.”

7. Take Your Time
如果繼續慢慢來的話，也許將會一事無成？Take Your Time 以高亢的說唱開頭，一面講述對音樂的自信、一面也警惕自己把握時間，精進自我才能把作品愈做愈大聲。歌曲充滿無憂無慮的加州氛圍，好像幾乎能看見 Free Nationals 在後頭隨性的伴奏，但這樣的隨性在歌詞中卻顯諷刺。若沒有付出努力，我們有什麼值得享受的？

8. Unique Design
復古都會迪斯可風格在 Urban、R&B 音樂裡並不少見，但使用這樣的節奏氛圍卻不派對不撩妹，在現今可謂第一人。此曲講述的是一段淺白卻真誠的鼓勵，告訴偶爾沮喪的人：你是一個獨特的創造。即便這麼說有些客套，但相信一切都會好的。

9. Classy
品味是什麼？也許是一件我想要但不需要的東西，也許是我這麼選擇、只為了讓你看見。品味是後天習得的過程，是一道只能向上的階梯，它幫助我們看見原本所看不見的差異，卻讓我們再也無法忍受差異。
The Crane 成為了故事中的主角，談及他不存在的房產與不曾擁有過的私人飛機，如果這是一場純粹的諷刺還好，真正諷刺的是，如果我們真的活在其中，恐怕沒有人會選擇離開。
What is “being classy”? Maybe it’s getting a thing you want but you don’t actually need. Or maybe it’s because you want others to see your choices? Good taste needs to be learned, it’s like a staircase that only goes up, helping us see the difference we didn't notice before, until we can’t stand the difference anymore.

The Crane became the protagonist of the story, talking about the mansions and private jets that he never had in his life. It is fun when he’s being sarcastic, but what really is sarcastic is if the life he’s talking about was real, no one would ever choose to leave.

10. Up In The Clouds
Up In The Clouds 是這張專輯實質意義上的最後一首歌，歷經了自信洋溢的一段飛行，以為自己應該在雲層上作威享福了，但焦慮還是日夜不停襲來。嘴上說得頭頭是道，但誰又真正了解事情？即使不畏懼生死，但終究還是想要偉大。
因為人皆向死，所以更該積極綻放，也許我想開了，也許我沒有，但我會好好享受這趟飛行。
As the closing track for the album, Up In The Clouds portrays The Crane getting hit by waves of anxiety even though he just started to feel like he can move freely above the clouds. People talk the talk, but do they really know what they are talking about? The pursuit of greatness is always his goal in mind, since death is inevitable, we should all blossom when we still have time. Maybe The Crane has thought it through, maybe he hasn’t, but he’ll definitely enjoy the flight.

11. 拉麵公子 Ramen Boy
全曲始於獨自一人去拉麵店吃飯時的場景，物是人非的觸景傷情，一如往常的細麵小辣，每一段感情結束後好像都更認識了自己一點，卻又總是什麼都沒留下。朦朧的合成器佐以不時點綴的電吉他，彷彿看著拉麵上冉冉而升的蒸氣，在適合擁抱的冬日裡，發現自己有點蠻想你。直到煙霧散去，留下的是一整碗的庸人自擾。
