Musically, Lin is famous for his highly distinctive vocals, wide vocal range, and dreamy tone. His versatility and ability to sing from a wide range of music, from mandopop to jazz to indie-rock, differentiates him from his contemporary counterparts.
Immediately after winning the competition, Lin, along with the top 10 contestants of One Million Stars, released two compilation albums. On June 3, 2008, Lin released his debut album titled 神秘嘉賓 (Mystery Guest).
In 2009, Lin released his 2nd album 感官/世界 (Senses All Around). The conceptive album was nicely received from the music critics. The more rock-based third album, 美妙生活 (Perfect Life, 2011), was a more matured and diverse album, making Lin a distinct singer and performer in the pop music scene in Taiwan. In June 2012, Yoga Lin released his 4th studio album, 大小說家.
陳奕迅 (Eason Chan) and 陳綺貞 (Cheer Chen) are the two of the many Mandopop singers that Lin admires the most. His favorite genre of music is 70'-80's Western Rock. He is greatly influenced by these sources as well.
心酸
林宥嘉 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
跑不完的操场 原来小成这样
时间的手 翻云覆雨了什么
从我手中 夺走了什么
闭上眼看 十六岁的夕阳
美得像我们一样
边走边唱 天真浪漫勇敢
以为能走到远方
人潮拍打上岸 一波波欢快的浪
校门口老地方 我是等候堤防
牵你的手 人群里慢慢走
我们手中 藏有全宇宙
闭上眼看 最后那颗夕阳
美得像一个遗憾
辉煌哀伤 青春兵荒马乱
我们潦草地离散
明明爱啊 却不懂怎么办
让爱强韧不折断
为何生命 不准等人成长
就可以修正过往
我曾拥有你 真叫我心酸
The song 心酸 by 林宥嘉 expresses the feelings of nostalgia and heartache towards a lost love and a fleeting youth. The lyrics tell a story of walking down a never-ending alley and running around an endless playground, alluding to the seemingly infinite possibilities and carefree joys of adolescence. However, time's unforgiving hand has taken away something significant from the singer, leaving them with a sense of loss and longing.
The lyrics go on to paint a scenery of the past and the memories shared with the beloved. The sunset of their sixteenth year was as beautiful as themselves, and they were once innocent, romantic, and brave, thinking they could journey to the ends of the earth. However, as they look back, they realize that their love was precious but ultimately fleeting and that they have scattered amidst the chaos of growing up.
The song's title, "心酸," means heartache or sorrow, which accurately captures the melancholic tone and emotions expressed in the lyrics. Overall, 心酸 is a bittersweet reflection of what might have been and what was.

每次聽這首歌，都讓我想起15歲的初戀… 那個不允許在十幾歲談戀愛的年代…
想起那時候，我想盡辦法逃學去見你…
想起我們難得的在小小的廣場牽手走街…
想起我們常去的公園… 靜靜看夕陽
想起我坐在你的電單車， 微風的吹拂…
想起那個沒有手機， 沒有簡訊的年代… 要與你聊個電話都很難…
想起我們被逼分開，你開著電單車追著我離去的巴士…
想起我們如何分開…
我們曾擁有彼此… 想到就心酸…

這是我喜歡的他與她的故事.
也許過去永遠都是疼痛混雜美好，最後變成心酸。
可能人慣性地喜歡懷緬過去，想著如果。
說穿了 後來的陪著他的 永遠都是第三者。
因為他們曾如此相愛。
於是他的心空不出來，他想也裝不下你。
p.s. 很美的一首詞, 是有經歷的人更會欣賞的一首詞。

我 很愛很愛現在的另一半
但是
想到他
我們曾相愛
想到就心酸
我希望有個人愛他
好好愛他
但那個人不會是我
也不可能是我
那些過往
別人不會懂
他內心翻湧著的
別人也不會懂
那些簡單快樂而美好的
閃光點
希望他 一切 一切 一切都好

偶然聽到這首歌
雖然沒有特別喜歡林宥嘉..
聽完歌還真想哭 :P
沒關係的 這一切回憶
我都會背著走向未來 :D
不管未來是好是壞
雖然你看不到
但是 :)
希望你也喜歡這段日子
希望你能得到幸福
希望有個珍惜你的人出現
希望你能快樂
更希望你接著的女朋友長得很不怎麼樣
哈哈哈 果然人還是沒辦法善良到底
但是還是為你祝福 :)
一定要過得比我好 :D
一定別寄喜帖給我
一定要在我婚宴包最大包.. O___Q
哎呀呀 掰掰啦 我最愛的你 :)

人， 爱情的能力随着年龄的增长 总是慢慢衰退。因为少了最初的那颗对待爱情的赤子之心。
@sherlynwenwen
贊同。我已經沒有辦法像愛著他那樣再繼續的那麼深深愛著另個他

每個人心中，都有那麼一位讓自己刻苦銘心的人。

黃昏時放學的校門口
一群群開心快樂的學生彷彿浪似一波波的朝我襲來
我總會在校門口的老地方
像堤防一樣靜靜地等候著有妳的浪潮
牽著妳溫暖的小手在人群裡慢慢地向前走
那時的我，手中曾經也藏著全宇宙。
