<… Read Full Bio ↴楊乃文(Naiwen Yang) (Simplified: 杨乃文 Pinyin: Yáng Nǎi Wén English: Faith)
After graduating from Sydney University, Faith returned to Taiwan to start a music career. She soon gained a cult following in the university and pub circuit in Taiwan while touring with her backing band - Monster. In 1996 she signed with Magicstone records. Her first two albums are heavily influenced by the Australian pub rock style, with a gothic undertone noticeable in tracks such as "Silence", "Fear" and "Monster", while her third album has a lighter pop style, with only hints of the anger evident in the first two recordings. All three albums were huge hits in Taiwan and in 2000 Faith won the Taiwan Golden Music awards for Best Female Performer and Best Album.
Faith did not renew her contract with Magicstone, claiming the label had become too commercial for her style of music. In 2004 it was reported that she had signed with Sony label Silver Fish Records.
In late 2007, Faith released Continuation (女爵), which included increased production value ("Be In Love"), mature songwriting ("分開"), and help from Eason Chen (陳奕迅) on the upbeat pop-rock track, "Television" (電視機).
After the May 2008 Sichuan Earthquake, Faith participated in CCTV's benefit concert, singing "但愿人長久", which was popularized by Chinese singing icon, Teresa Teng (鄧麗君). The performance was notable for not only including verses by Faith, Eason Chen and male pop singer, Ah-Niu, but also a rare live performance from Faye Wong (王菲).
In 2009, Faith released an all-covers album, Self Selected, which included her takes on English-language songs such as Radiohead's "Fake Plastic Trees", The Verve's "Drugs Don't Work", Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", T.Rex's "20th Century Boy", Blur's "Song 2", Coldplay's "Scientist" and another duet with Eason Chen, a cover of Lou Reed's "Perfect Day." One original track was written for the album, an ambient tune titled "Miss Underwater."
Faith also works as a fashion and cosmetics model for companies such as Rado and Neutrogena, as well as continuing to tour on the Taiwan pub circuit. She has also considered a number of acting roles. In 2000 Faith played a lead part in the web movie "175 Degrees of Color Blindness (175度色盲)", a 20 part flash movie made especially for release on the internet.

楊乃文 Lyrics

為你撤了歷史記載
為你塗了裝扮 （哦）為你喝了醉
為你建了城池圍牆
一顆熱的心 穿著冰冷外衣
一張白的臉 漆上多少褪色的情節
愛上哪個膚淺的王位
在你的空虛寶座裡面
愛過什麼女爵的滋味
為你封了國境 （哦）為你赦了罪
為你撤了歷史記載
一顆熱的心 穿著冰冷外衣
一張白的臉 漆上多少褪色的情節
在我的空虛身體裡面
愛上哪個膚淺的王位
在你的空虛寶座裡面
愛過什麼女爵的滋味
在我的空虛身體裡面
愛上哪個膚淺的王位
在你的空虛寶座裡面
愛過什麼女爵的滋味
（耶耶 耶耶 耶耶）
（嘿耶 耶耶 耶耶 耶耶）

The lyrics to 楊乃文's song 女爵 depict a narrative of a person who has changed themselves for the sake of love. The first verse speaks of the extent to which the person has gone to show their love - they have closed borders, forgiven sins, erased history, adorned themselves, and built walls for their loved one. The second verse shifts the focus to the internal struggles of the singer, who feels empty and soulless, having fallen in love with the shallow love of a throne. The chorus repeats the sentiment of this inner pain, emphasizing the hollowness of the singer's body even as they profess their love.

第一次听，记不起是什么时候，也记不起是哪位歌手在唱。
但仅仅是第一次，就是记住了这个旋律，记住了歌词的大概轮廓。
这是一首旋律动人且特别的歌。
总是在快要忘记它的时候，就能听到它。
曾经在广播里，在综艺节目里，在推荐歌单里。
这是一首不会过时的歌
听它的时候，会想到很多特别的画面：玲珑完美的身材和模糊的脸；夜色中迷离的霓虹和晶莹的红酒；闪亮的高跟鞋踏在玻璃地面上；哭花的妆··· ···
这是一首很有画面感的歌。
最近再听的时候，猛然想到《疯女胡安娜》。如果并非创作者之间的影响，这真是一个美丽的巧合：一首歌与一个电影角色，或者说一首歌和一个人有如此魔幻的交织。
曾经以为歌中最魔幻的部分，反而最真实。
这竟然是一首既魔幻又真实的歌。

小時候國小的時候在父親的車上聽過這首歌曲，但當時一直聽不太懂在唱什麼，只覺得旋律很好聽，所以就默默記下旋律，有事沒事就會不斷哼著這首旋律，時至今日出社會後穆然回首，才發覺已然經過10幾年，再次聽見又默默的流下感動的眼淚。謝謝妳讓我找回小時候的回憶以及感動❤️。

這類歌，完完全全不會過時！！！！霸氣的樂曲，配搭有力的歌詞，充滿女性的張力和權力
@JennyYi29
wow，每次聽青峰翻唱都覺得青峰跟原唱平分秋色甚至超越，但〈女爵〉真的是乃文才唱得出來（然而那是青峰自己打造的〈女爵〉😂）。
