The MV of this song consists of photos and handwritten lyrics of Jonathan Lee at all ages. In the MV of the song, Jonathan Lee turned the lyrics into a reconciliation letter that was never sent, and put it in the deepest part of the drawer, and then opened it when time came to understand it.
In the MV, all the questions are an unfinished old song, all in an unsent letter. When I understand, the problem is no longer a problem.

Appreciation of "New Writing Old Songs"
The lyrics of this song are Jonathan Lee's guilt for his father. Although the lines between the lines are unpretentious, they are full of true feelings, and the literary techniques are more ingenious, simplifying the complex.
Moreover, there are many golden sentences, such as the sentence that makes the audience want to cry instantly, "Two men are very likely/they just look alike all their lives/they are lucky to be bosom friends/unfortunately they can only be Party A and Party B" and so on. This kind of words really killed the affection between father and son. The melody of this song is always the flavor of Jonathan Lee.
As far as genre is concerned, the newly written old songs are closer to personalized operas. According to the peak of the word line cavity; The sentences are rambling and lose the structure of the song; Deep feelings naturally fluctuate and erupt in sincere and simple narration, but they lack the self-discipline of genre and meter.
