🌻Morgan Stanley Mid-year Investor Outlook: A tricky transition

https://www.morganstanley.com/ideas/midyear-2021-global-markets-outlook

🌻在您投資生涯中, 有沒有一些觀念讓您受用很多?
下面這位投資名人的好觀念影響我很深. 他的意思是, 一般投資人, 只要能説出三個買一家公司的理由, 就很夠了. 這也迫使我, 每次在買股票時, 問自己對這家公司的了解有多少. 也會去衡量公司的優點與缺點在哪裡.

"It is vital (重要的) that you know what you own, that if I asked you on the street why you like a certain stock, you can give me three reasons. If you don't know how they make their money, who their key clients are and what they make if, then I will tell you that you are over your head and should not own individual stocks."

全文在此:
Jim Cramer: In Times Like This, Go for the Easy Money
Look at the stocks you own. Can you tell me why you've got them? If you can't answer the following three questions, then have a look at several I like right now.

We've endured the meme stock craziness, with all of its love for heavily shorted stocks. We have watched the collapse of bitcoin to levels viewed as shocking, even if they are still more than double where they were not that long ago. We've dealt with Fed officials making it clear that they are no longer on the side of the bulls or the bears. They are on the side of job growth, but are wary of inflation. We've seen the end of the rush to get vaccines, which means that millions of people are going to get the new COVID variant, because there is no natural immunity to it. We've watched as the hopes for an infrastructure bill have collapsed. We've endured shortages of everything from chips to plastic to imported goods and labor.

And we're still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yep, we are in one of those halcyon moments, where the masks are off -- even if they shouldn't be -- and Americans are back doing what they do best: consume, spend, go out to eat and then consume and spend some more.

There are times in the stock market where the collective mindset is revealed. This is one of those times: Things are cool, it's not a big moment, there's no real news for a bit, it's the historically strong period and we can reach some conclusions about where we are.

When things are like this, it is important to remember that buyers like to revert to tried-and-true companies that thrive no matter what. These are companies that have an edge and are better at what they do than other companies.

You know that I am a great believer in index funds, that the average person doesn't have the time or the inclination to research individual stocks. It's a difficult barrier. I think you need to make time to read the quarterly report and listen to the conference call, to Google articles and, if possible, get some research about the companies you own. It is vital that you know what you own, that if I asked you on the street why you like a certain stock, you can give me three reasons. If you don't know how they make their money, who their key clients are and what they make if, then I will tell you that you are over your head and should not own individual stocks. I am reminded by this, because, once again, without a mask, I can be recognized and if I am not holding "Nvidia the Second," I can carry on a conversation.

I have had many in the last two weeks and when I have asked this litany of questions, I find myself at a loss as to why almost no one knew what they owned. But they thirsted for individual stocks, because they, like me, think things are better post pandemic. No, that's not a facetious comment. Many, many stocks did better with a stay-at-home economy. A huge number.

So what do I do? I revert to what others do when you are stumped about how to stay in touch with stocks, but want to do less homework. That means buying stocks that are accessible, not stocks like Unity (U) or Snowflake (SNOW) or Twilio (TWLO) or Okta (OKTA) .

I revert to normal businesses people know and I suggest they Google some articles, peruse the conference call, but, above all, like the company's products so you can buy more if it goes down.

Here's some that I have been telling people I like:

First is Ford (F) . I think the Ford lineup is amazing. The electric F-150 series will be incredible. I am eager to get a Maverick for my family, because it is a smaller pickup that will get the job done for the myriad little things I need to do with this farm I bought from that crazy bitcoin foray. I like the competitive edge of the CEO, who says he is going to bury Elon Musk when the Lightning comes out. I even think the Bronco is cool as all get out. Most important, though? I think the chip shortage is ending. My semiconductor friends are telling me the foundries are producing more feature-rich chips and that means Ford can pump out the trucks small business people love and need. Plus, the used car prices at last have plateaued, according to their most important pricing index. Halcyon times.

Second, Costco (COST) : The samples are coming back. Tell me you don't love the samples. You need things in bulk. You want low prices. You want to get all of the things that people don't think of with Costco, like insurance, hearing-aids -- hey, they are a fortune -- jewelry, things around the house. You go and you will buy far more than you first came for. My kind of store.

The kids love this American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) , which we just bought for my charitable trust, which you can follow along by joining the Action Alerts PLUS club. Jay Schottenstein, the CEO, came on "Mad Money" recently and it's clear that his Aerie model has real staying power: 26 consecutive quarters of double digit growth. No flash in the pan, that one. Number one brand in jeans for the 15 to 25 year old group. The best in the mall. How did I know this? I see the credit card bills.

I got up this morning to do my physical therapy. I have been doing it ever since I hurt my back in February. I have this really cool pair of sneakers that fit me perfectly and I love them, but I am fortunate enough to have a vacation house and I am always taking those shoes with me.

So I went on Amazon (AMZN) this morning and lo and behold I saw them for half price. I bought two pairs. Then I went over everything I have bought in the last year and got a bunch of those things. Then I bought a pair of binoculars, because mine were stolen. I paid half price.

Yep, Amazon's universal. I was talking to Alexa, while I was ordering, getting some new music on, asking questions. I saw that despite all of the Sturm und Drang of Amazon being late with things, all the delivery dates were within range. I didn't click on any ads, and I didn't need the speed of Web Services, but the whole thing reminded me about how special the darned company is. I don't care if it's ahead or behind plan for the moment. I would just buy some more when it goes down.

Finally, Apple (AAPL) . I think people who don't own Apple should look what they are holding at this very moment. Yes, right now. Or look at what's in your lap or on the table besides your fork. And then think about the bill you paid last night without knowing it. Think about what you bought in the App store yesterday. Think about what would happen if it would break or get stolen or, left in the Uber (UBER) , or heaven forbid, be dropped into the pool or in the, yes, toilet.

There, that's what you buy in halcyon times. Stocks of companies you know that if they go lower, because things get less halcyon, you are fine with it and buy more. If things go up, believe me, you will participate.

So accept the moment. Don't try for the hard money. Go for the easy kind. That's the best kind.

實際發生的情況 VS 外人所看到的情況。

昨天我發布了跳水影片，這似乎使人們感到惱火。許多人認為這樣的發文是煽動危險的行為。
“很糟糕的示範，無知的人會跟著模仿然後發生意外而死”
為什麼總是別人表現得不負責任？
從來沒有人評論說“我可能會反覆跳水而死去？”
為什麼別人如此不信任？
是什麼讓您的判斷比其他所有人的判斷要好得多？

人們不必擔心觀看影片然後再重複播放。如果您相信這樣的人的存在，那麼“玩命關頭”的電影會讓您太害怕不敢離開家了，以免擔心遇到魯莽的駕駛員。

該影片用手機高影格率（慢動作）拍攝。長時間的飛行使它看起來像是跳得很高，但實際高度只有6.5公尺高。
雖然不是特別高，但是如果您背部落水或腹部落水，這種高度可能還是會覺得很痛。
我會知道，是因為我不擅長做後空翻，但無論如何我還是會嘗試。肚子落水上並不是致命的，但這也不是一件好事。
這就是為什麼我影片裡跳水方式都是伸直雙腳，雙手臂擺放在身體兩側。實際上，這是一個很好的動作示範。

我總是告訴人們在跳水之前檢查水的深度，並確保水中沒有障礙物。
但是當我們說“跳前先看一看”時，我們真正的意思是“在你行動前要先思考”。

爬上平台有風險嗎？
我要從穩定平台上跳下來嗎？
我的計劃著陸區在哪裡？
著陸區中是否有人或物體？
水的深度適合從這個高度跳嗎？
跳躍時我會在空中做什麼？
我計劃著陸的方向是什麼？
我可以在這些條件下游泳嗎？
跳水後如何離開水面？
我是否需要任何其他設備，例如手套或救生衣或頭盔？
尋問跳水區附近有人嗎？他們知道我在跳水嗎？

這些都不是複雜的問題，也不需要任何技術培訓。這只是基本常識。大多數人無需考慮即可自動執行此操作。

以上並不是特別危險。人們在人身安全方面通常是安全和負責的，有幾個重要例外。真正的安全提示在這裡：

1）跳懸崖時切勿飲酒。
您會驚訝於自然界發生了多少次與酒精有關的事故。

2）切勿向任何人施壓，讓他們嘗試自己不舒服的特技。
如果某人感到害怕，那是因為他們缺乏必要的技能或經驗。這會增加了風險。要教導/不要強迫或欺負霸凌

3）永遠知道你的極限在哪。
採取嬰兒的步驟。在不諮詢經驗豐富的人的情況下，請勿嘗試超出您的經驗水平的事情。忽略任何給您施加壓力或激你的人。他們不會是好朋友。

4）不要試圖做任何愚蠢的事情來打動一個女孩。
這不值得。在接受調查的10位女性中，有9位偏好沒有頭部受傷的男性。

現在去實驗在河邊玩得開心。嘗試去懸崖跳水。盡可能地爬高。在這過程，如果您在任何時候階段感到不舒服時，可以慢慢後退並從較低的地方跳下來，或者根本就不要跳。
和您信任的朋友一起去，並互相觀察注意對方。
首先檢查天氣。提前準備所需的裝備。您可能需要一個漂浮裝備(救生衣或浮標等）。如果您發現之後沒有足夠的裝備，則不需要嘗試去做未做好準備的事。選擇準備好的一天再去玩。

按照這些基本步驟進行操作，您很快就會意識到歇斯底里並不是實現水安全的正確方法。但知識教育和準備好卻是安全的方式。

What really happens VS what people see.

Yesterday I posted this which seemed to rile people up. Many people think posting like this is inciting dangerous behavior. "Bad Demonstration. Ignorant people will follow this and die". Why is it always other people who are behaving irresponsibly. No ever ever comments "I might try to repeat this and die" Why is there so much distrust of other people? What makes your judgement so much better than everyone else's?

People aren't at risk from watching a video and then trying to repeat it. If you believed people like that existed then the "fast and the furious "movies would make you too scared to leave the house for fear of reckless drivers.

The video was filmed at a high frame rate (slow motion). Long airtime gives it the appearance of being a very high jump, but it's only 6.5 meters. While not particularly high, this is still high enough to be painful if you landed on your back or stomach. I know, because I'm not good at doing backflips, but I still try anyway. Landing on your stomach isn’t fatal, but it’s not fun either. That's why I recommend jumping feet first, hands in, as seen in the video. It's actually quite a good demonstration.

I always tell people to check water depth and ensure there are no obstructions before jumping. But when we say "look before you jump" what we really mean is "Think before you act".

Is it risky to climb up to the platform?
Is the platform I am jumping from stable?
Where is my planned landing zone?
Are there any people or objects in the landing zone?
Is the depth of the water suitable for jumping from this height?
What will I do in the air while jumping?
What is my planned body orientation for landing?
Can I swim in these conditions?
How will I exit the water after jumping?
Do I need any additional equipment such as gloves or a life jacket?
Are there people nearby? Do they know I am jumping?

None of these are complicated questions and none require any technical training. This is just basic common sense. Most people do this automatically, without even having to think about it.

The above isn't especially dangerous. People are generally safe and responsible when it comes to their personal safety with a few important exceptions. The real safety tips are down here:

1) Never consume alcohol while cliff jumping. You'd be surprised how many accidents in nature involve alcohol.

2) Never pressure anyone into attempting a stunt they are not comfortable with. If someone is scared, it's because they lack the requisite skill or experience. This increases risk. Teach. Don't tease .

3) Know your limits. Take baby steps. Don't attempt something far above your experience level without consulting someone with more experience. Ignore anyone who is pressuring you. They're not being good friends.

4) Don't do anything stupid to impress a girl. It's not worth it. 9 out of 10 women surveyed preferred men without head injuries.

Now go out to the river and have some fun. Go cliff jumping. Climb as high as you feel comfortable. And if at any time if you feel uncomfortable, just back down and jump from somewhere lower, or not at all. Go with friends that you trust, and watch out for each other. Check the weather first. Prepare equipment you need in advance. You may need a flotation device. If you realize you don’t have enough equipment later, you don’t need to attempt anything you are not prepared for. Just come back and play another day.

Follow these basic steps and you will soon realize that hysteria isn’t the proper approach to water safety. Knowledge and preparation is.

「人類創造的故事，人類夢想中的一切將搭乘光的帆船，擴及銀河。」─日本科幻巨擘 山本弘《＃艾比斯之夢》
.
R&B的intro幾乎都是作品最核心的價值，在〈巷子內intro〉中，我們聽到一個半人半機的口白，機器人Carmot擋住我們去路。它警告我們後退、收割人類的魂魄，身心不適的我們明白此物「非我族類」，才想抵抗之際，J.Sheon令人安心的聲音已浮現在肩側。
.
「你可以先退回巷子，這巷子不是實體的巷子而是虛擬的空間。Now go find yourself.」機器人這樣說，J.Sheon老神在在，只用歌聲嗆了一句：「街頭兄弟不只很餓還很浪漫！」帥氣俐落的千禧年beats帶著舒服的速度感，腳踏實地道出人性陷落於物欲陷阱中的脆弱。〈#他嗑了什麼都給我來一點 /Feeling Good〉和BCW陽剛的rap很搭：「Birds in the TRAP，SING LIKE McKinght，到底是獵人，還是被獵？」
.
〈#剃刀/ Razor〉危險冷豔的節拍，暗示著援軍的到來，像電玩中的NPC補給裝備般，聽眾手中獲得一張闇影王牌，這名字不陌生，just call him RAZOR.
.
不喝酒不抽菸、異常自律的闇影王牌RAZOR，make it rain讓錢像下雨般恩澤大地。J.Sheon表白他只是想替剃刀做一首台灣Hip Hop場景裡的歷史小品，這樣的英姿來得像一場及時雨。
.
（我很喜歡Julia Wu《1：28》裡的神隱剃刀，但這次得到一個完整的敘事體驗，也讓人振奮。）
.
開頭的幾首歌都以一種「聽覺式電影規格特效」的方式在推劇情，和弦與各種樂器的增疊，真的有做出浩瀚星海與人類的渺茫感。在失去「愛」這股萬有引力的狀態下，我們乍看是自由，卻也斷了線，只能頭重腳輕地漂浮。
.
上張專輯的核心flow tag為「Deep into your soul」、這次則是「#街頭兄弟不但很餓還很浪漫」，這股餓，說穿了就是一股炙熱的野心。
.
天才們的大腦遊戲，總讓粉絲們恨不得一口氣解謎到底，但 剃刀蔣​ 不是心狠之輩，仍在粉專給出更多線索，J.Sheon的官方文案更是慷慨到都快劇透了。
.
〈#比較浪漫 /Charm〉是首有濃濃剃刀攻擊氣息的歌曲，「浪漫到不要臉」是R&B信徒的原罪，大膽示愛的public display of affection在拘束低調的東亞R&B圈，仍容易被冠上「玩咖」的標籤。
.
J.Sheon：「別毀謗我亂亂亂，只是比較浪漫，單純合作夥伴。」、「我的天，這不是共通點，浪漫的導火線～」除了營造出「英雄惜英雄」的小眾舞台，本曲可能只是對反派的一種基礎抵抗，等級堪比世界大戰的心戰歌曲。
.
還好，創作者與樂迷的臉皮與默契都已經練得夠厚，狗仔隊的吠叫，對我們來說只是雜訊罷了。
.
聽到這裡，許多創作者與粉絲可能開始起了疑竇。如何在普羅大眾對「R&B經典專輯」所知不多的狀況下，讓他們認識到你自己本身的作品就是經典？
.
答案是，讓人們對你有「好奇心」。
.
真理或邪教？只能朝他們靈魂深處寄出一封真摯的邀請，提升作品的紮實厚度，使用很多音效堆疊出大大小小敘事的科幻要寨。
.
為了避免樂迷們在J.Sheon的嗓音裡嗜糖成癮，需要更多殺氣騰騰的BEATS，斷開上癮的連結。拉開幾道銀河與光年距離後，或許這張專輯會讓人愛得更恆久更深入？
.
《巷子內 / THE ALLEY》即便都在談愛，卻也在談距離、談自由。
.
〈#輸情歌 /Ballad〉有種淡淡的自嘲，在離開RnB與嘻哈的「同溫層」後，你我或許都曾直接感受到不同樂風有意無意傳來的幾分寒意與漠然。這時，但願我們都有雅量自嘲一下，怪自己不是周興哲，但也慶幸自己仍有J.Sheon能珍惜。
.
（很喜歡這首MV裡面有自然露臉的MCKY、剃刀鏡頭，請大家認清這才是浪漫軍火商，know your kings, my lovely people.）
.
看似寫意閒聊的〈#慢走不送 /Off You Go〉，以R&B特有的聊天室唱腔，談了很多讓人嚇得心裡發毛的恐怖情人鬼故事，佩服Morrison和艾怡良能用美嗓把諸多drama唱得這麼幽怨又不失美感。外表再優質的情人，都要花段時間切身相處，才知道該收還是該放。Morrison蒼涼冷靜的嗓音和J.Sheon與烈火深情的艾怡良都非常搭，有種老生常談，陪年輕群眾「話鬼談怪」的歷練，也體現了情感教育的重要，本曲堪稱負面教材鬼話集。
.
主打歌〈#囚 /Soul Away〉和賴暐哲共譜曲，著實激起觀眾的母愛與好奇心，人人都想拯救那個在MV中被炸飛的J.Sheon。
.
滿滿「失重感」（Emotion Loss）的編曲要能做到耐聽與魄力，進階功力太到位。
.
沒有了伙房兵，飢渴的靈魂只能活活餓死了嗎？
.
〈#看起來不錯其實也還好 / Ain't What It Seems〉在曲順編排上意圖以「普通過客」襯托出最愛的「主角」，鋼琴為主調的旋律耐聽動人，但J.Sheon唱得收斂，室溫驟降。有時不用太羨慕同床異夢的怨偶，能用靈魂對話的我們，也沒過得比她們差啊。
.
〈#畫面太美我不敢直視 / Love Her Like That〉是我個人一直在等待的J.Sheon，平常壓抑的他終於變回Tristan了！（那個和哥兒們在一起會白目大叫「天啊你的臉是發生什麼事！＠口＠！」、幾乎不能讓他開車的浮誇吵鬧的Tristan）──我們欣賞各式各樣的他，喜怒形於色的真性情，he’s the real deal。MCKY的編曲這回也正常發揮，日系、繽紛、細緻，夢幻到有種耀眼的玫瑰金，參與共同創作的宋秉勤其實也有首不錯聽的單曲〈I could〉，本曲集這麼多才子的恩寵於一身，但願眾星不要只拱月，讓整道銀河都有各自的明暗、光影與色調也很好。
.
本曲排第9，「9」在塔羅牌中象徵著「隱士」，或許冥冥中也暗示著J.Sheon崇拜的這位女神平日「大隱隱於市」，是個很神秘的人。
.
又或許，真的有這樣一個人嗎？她只是天王眼中一個崇高而靈性的存在吧？
.
無論如何，也許數億萬年後，人們會驚嘆那個時期的某個星系，為何能有如此的質變。
.
J.Sheon會告訴他們答案：「是她讓我突破限制去寫詞」、「以她命名一個星座，當作寄託。」
.
歌詞：「What just happened in my world? Must be the girl.」 偷偷問了其他粉絲，明明同句歌詞，居然也有人聽成「We'll just have FUN in my world, my sweetest girl.」
.
難道J.Sheon已經能自行無性生殖，一句詞可以變成「平行宇宙」，冒出這麼多解讀？
.
可見大家都對J.Sheon懷著著不同的投射，而這些投射也都照耀著自己的靈魂深處，把烏雲都驅散。這很讓人意外嗎？穿越大氣層之外，是不可能見到雲的。
.
承接著上張專輯同時獻給貓咪與女人的〈呼吸〉，〈#欠處理〉有很舒服又四平八穩的八零年代80’s grooving vibes與合成器音色，跟J.Sheon同個年代的粉絲一開頭就很容易受這股復古鄉愁吸引，或許到了一定年齡後，人們更容易被那些懂「我們共同經歷過什麼的」平輩所吸引吧？好比〈魔鬼終結者〉、〈七龍珠〉啊，這些不會被取代的經典。
.
根據科學研究，人類到了32歲後就很難接受新歌，願我們能用新的刺激與靈感，攜手打翻這個偏見。
.
J.Sheon：「請原諒我的無禮，Oh please，
妳根本就欠處理，欠處理！
You're such a rare find beauty。」
.
這裡有個讓閱聽眾都夢寐以求的故事元素──「驚喜」與「反差」。風度翩翩的王子也是有獸性的（聽聽他和孫盛希合作的〈闖空門IN &OUT〉），他也會為情咆哮，為了弱勢牽腸掛肚，想收編路過的貓貓。「吸了口體香」、「虎斑刺青」，都是貓奴才懂的密碼，願意關心毛小孩的男人，是本世代的必備款暖男。
.
Wow, 「對你上下其手的慾望？」
.
J， what kind of trouble have you gotten us into？
.
然而，誰能怪我們呢？R＆B從不是理性的樂風，我們也不用是如此。要不是有大家的浪漫、堅持甚至任性，這個圈子還會在嗎？
.
溫和陰柔的J.Sheon還是有這種肉食動物的狼性，而狼大多是社會性動物，階級與地位是牠們願意犧牲自身尊嚴去鞏固，或不顧一切去追求？要背叛首領與戀人遠走高飛，還是要留下來擴大狩獵範圍？
.
這裡就不洩密了，專心聽歌到最後、守口如瓶，是粉絲美德。忠實的粉絲才能養出優質的天王天后。
.
在〈欠處理 /You Asking 4 it 〉中，這位Urban R&B王子殿下在彬彬有禮裡藏著慾望，字裡行間不斷在試探底線，「Let's go somewhere IF you want」這詞放得恰到好處。
.
「If」，他即使在面對自己的貪婪之際，還是尊重著對方的自由意志。
.
In the end of the day，就是這種出自性別平權意識的小細節，才能讓街頭王者遠離不必要的風暴。
.
然後壓軸曲〈ALL ABOUT YOU〉的口白歌詞沒有翻，是什麼英聽練習嗎？
.
那就容我幫J.Sheon翻譯吧，「YOU are the REASON why I’m staying here. Been through a lot of things, I know you’ve been BACKing me UP since DAY1. This song is for all my people out there. It’s all about YOU. 」
.
「你們就是我留在這裡的理由，我知道你們從第一天起就在這裡挺我，本曲獻給從第一天起就支持我的『你與你們』。」
.
官方文案還提醒YOU是「複數」，（J的粉絲沒這麼容易為愛反目），曲目秒數3：10，用塔羅數字來算出總和是「4」。務實穩定的「4」，這款美麗如星座的四邊形，很適合開創星座的魔羯座J.Sheon。接下來木星將進入他的星座，穩紮穩打就是他的強項。
.
「謝乾乾剃刀，幫我拉起警報」諧音：「把我拉起緊抱～」
MCKY、精密編排，全被擊倒。」諧音：「全被激到～」
.
「所有風暴因為你而顯得渺小，」如J.Sheon的嗓音：「你幫我征服每一戰，你陪我熬過每一晚。」街頭兄弟不但浪漫也很勵志、很和平，不忘SHOUTOUT給密友愛人──可以，這很R&B，也很HIP HOP。
.
Rhythm and blues，這被流傳已久又推陳出新的風格是我們寵愛自己、並與世界對抗的方式。謝謝你們耗費歲月寫下這些定義，what’s out there is already out there，讓後人都記住你們的豐功偉業吧！
.
J.Sheon：「R&B 它自帶感染，轉音都狂轉，不斷襲來──害人生『病變』超慌亂，邊說太毒了，邊模仿這獨特。會不會這段唱完，又變成誰的副歌？」
.
可能是在回應著先前被抖音節錄的風波，J.Sheon大器豁達，但也沒忘記要留點尊嚴給自己。
.
看到好東西就想佔為己有，是人性。
.
若是壞東西，誰要偷呢？
.
R&B / 節奏藍調是很需要時間來沉澱閱歷、實力與精神的樂風，看似自由自在、但很難維持高度純粹的原創，J.Sheon從網路創作起家，見識過百家爭鳴的他，並不畏懼做出自己的特色，閒晃的孤狼不是離群索居，甚至遠赴美加各城市，用他擅長的英文去討救兵了。
.
在《巷子內 / The Alley》，樂迷與藝術家都將很難找到其他優秀華人前輩的影子，所有該消化的，街巷和他的團隊都已經練等完畢在恭候了。Alley與ALLY（同盟）僅有一字之差，在我的主觀解讀中，J.Sheon與Team J都是在尋找同盟，恭候友軍。
.
是的，要讓茱力用到「恭候」兩詞，各位觀看到這裡的鐵粉，就是這麼值得信賴。
.
官方文案：「歌名中的「YOU」是個複數名詞，這歌就是給你們這些戰友們的信物。」
.
街巷用的「BACK ME UP」除了挺我之外，也有「備份」的意思。是的，在高科技的年代，備份就是另一張保命牌，不管你手上的是剃刀這張闇影王牌，還是天使的聖物，你我都在用音樂與心得文在進行最有「遠見」的守護──備份。
.
街頭兄弟不但很餓還很浪漫，最浪漫的是，他從還是個街頭少年時就為你預備好這些歷練了，整個華語R&B的粉絲群眾，無論你目前和我們分居還是群聚，都值得這位備位已久的帝君。
.
然而，街頭兄弟不但得夠餓，還得夠有「義氣」，在ALL THE WAY UP之前，這場「生存遊戲」的必勝核心是「信任」（Trust）與「羈絆」（Bonding）。
.
如同史書裡的偉大革命一樣，培養革命情感的過程中，我們必須歷經割捨、收屍、清創、出走、哀慟、祈禱、節慾、獨處、共食、猜忌、鬥爭、責怪、諒解、暗號、交換信物、治癒、竣工、感動、歡笑、慶祝與整合，才能走到這裡。在曲風分眾的年代，聽眾已無太多的耐心尋回深度，《巷子內》也將是一張跨時代的華語R&B專輯，定義著FUTURE R&B的話語權。
.
未來，很遠嗎？它已經在發生了。
.
不到五十年內，AI將大幅牟取人類的位置與利益。根據富比士雜誌的報導，目前有47%以上的人類工作將被AI取代。你會是下一個犧牲者嗎？
.
或許肉體會逐漸老去，但半世紀後，願擁有人性、同理心與藝術細胞與專業技術的我們，仍能穩穩站在雲端。
.
ALLOW US. Let’s take you ALL the way to the TOP.
.
〈ALL ABOUT YOU〉的深情告白與壯闊編曲，讓即使不是從DAY1就愛J.Sheon的粉絲都鬆動心防，即使是剛接觸節奏藍調的新粉絲，或許都會因他這番話而對號入座，而從頭開始聽R&B吧？
.
That’s your charisma, J.
.
To be or not to be, that’s the question. 這場被R&B滋養也掠奪的挑戰，或許仍沒有結束。
.
尾聲，AI無情又扭曲的聲音預告了戰鬥不會停止，奪取靈魂的反派，即將再度回來。
.
屆時，我們也會全力嘗試不同的出路，有時進攻、有時撤退，但我們會一直在。倘若螢幕與耳機前的你也有同感，「恭喜你通過這場生存測試！」你是真心鐵粉，一起為愛留下吧！
.
華語Hip Hop與R&B的推廣與流傳是國際級的戰役，整個產業鍊從源頭的創意產製、到末端的解讀推廣都很重要，若有幸得到你和妳的傾情相挺，我們的勝算會更大。
.
本張專輯使用「讓英語使用者也能感到親切」的設計，也很適合推廣給外國朋友，讓他們知道我們出了這麼一位能享譽國際又仁心仁術的Future R&B王者。
.
社群媒體上的你與妳，請用分享、轉貼、傳誦讓J.Sheon體會到「就算他變老，我們依舊會為他傾倒。」就像敦克爾克大作戰，好的後援溝通系統，才能讓第一線的文化軟實力創造者心無罣礙。
.
Get up and fight for love, my people. 若現在放棄，比賽就結束。
.
至於終曲的〈CARMOT〉是什麼意思呢？
.
官方文案： 「Carmot是神話中構成「賢者之石」的物質，它能被提煉為黃金，或者醫治百病；Carmot同時也是「Karma」諧音，意思為因果業報——「過去」形塑了「現在」、甚至「未來」。在城市中堵堵水泥牆中，我們容易遺落根本，而Carmot的獻聲是來自未來的能量呼喚，讓我們停下腳步，入巷重新探索靈魂的所在！」
.
而本專輯的封面與曲目數字有何意涵？答案就留在心底就好。請收藏設計精美的實體專輯與翻閱歌詞卡吧，裡頭有很多只能意會的秘密。
.
在這個充滿過多機器與控制的時代，我們終究知道沒有靈魂的內容「非我同類」，努力的求生尋找歸屬、認同、知己與共鳴，從遠古紀元的薪火故事，到未來的星系傳聲，故事的真理都亙古不變。
.
Now, let’s talk about YOUR future with R&B.
.
請讓R＆B在你的未來佔有一席之地。

Lyrics :

The club isn't the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast and then we talk slow

And you come over and start up a conversation with just me
And trust me I'll give it a chance now
Take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox
And then we start to dance

So honey now (you know i want your love)
Take me into your loving arms (boy lets not talk too much)
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars ( ooh grab on my waist)
Place your head of my beating heart (although my heart is falling too )
Im thinking bout how

People fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just a touch of a hand
Well me I fall in love with you every single day
I just wana tell you I am

So baby now
Take me into you loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars (ooh darling )
Place your head on my beating heart
Im thinking out loud

Maybe we found love right where we are
