方文山 （1969年1月26日－），臺灣花蓮人，著名的華語流行歌曲作詞人。

早期曾在臺灣桃園為水電工，但由於對電影的喜愛，故以其自稱為「曲線救國」的方式，自製一本歌詞大全並向唱片公司自薦，並最終得臺灣藝人吳宗憲賞識簽約。由於早期和周杰倫一同合作，並建立深厚交情，故儼然成為了周杰倫御用詞人，甚至和周杰倫一同組建JVR唱片公司，並共同製作出許多膾炙人口的作品，如：《愛在西元前》,《忍者》《雙截棍》《龍拳》《東風破》《七里香》《夜曲》《髮如雪》《菊花臺》《青花瓷》等等。可以說，周杰倫的成功和方文山有分不開的關係。

方文山的作品特色，有強列的『畫面感』，使人如看電影一般。不同於一般詞人，情境分離。他擅長在歌詞中融情入景,如《愛在西元前》中『祭司 神殿 征戰 弓箭 是誰的從前/喜歡在人潮中妳只屬於我的那畫面/經過蘇美女神身邊 /我以女神之名許願/思念像底格里斯河般的漫延。

方文山擅長『中國風』的歌詞，掀起古詩詞融入現代歌詞的風潮。其中和周杰倫的共同作品中，如《東風破》《髮如雪》《菊花臺》《千里之外》便是其代表作。在其作品中，常用一些極具古文特色的詞類活用修辭法，如用形容詞作動詞使用。具體例子如《七里香》中:「那飽滿的稻穗/幸福了這個季節」 及《髮如雪》中 「你髮如雪/淒美了離別 。」

方文山亦在歌詞中『用典』，引用古代作品。如《髮如雪》中「繁華如三千東流水/我只取一瓢愛了解」，出自《紅樓夢》第九十一回，《縱淫心寶蟾工設計,布疑陣寶玉妄談禪》的「任憑弱水三千,我只取一瓢飲」。又如《菊花臺》中「北風亂夜未央/你的影子剪不斷/徒留我孤單/在湖面成雙」便化用李白《月下獨酌》第一首中，「舉杯邀明月，對影成三人。」的句子。李白指月，人，影共三人，而方文山化用其意，指在湖面上，剪不斷的影加上孤獨的自己在湖面成雙。

What a mom says in 24 hours, condensed into 2 minutes and 55 seconds! Hilarious and talented!

"The Mom Song"
Get up now
Get up now
Get up out of bed
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Comb your sleepyhead
Here's your clothes and your shoes
Hear the words I said
Get up now! Get up and make your bed
Are you hot? Are you cold?
Are you wearing that?
Where's your books and your lunch and your homework at?
Grab your coat and gloves and your scarf and hat
Don't forget! You gotta feed the cat
Eat your breakfast, the experts tell us it's the most important meal of all
Take your vitamins so you will grow up one day to be big and tall
Please remember the orthodontist will be seeing you at 3 today
Don't forget your piano lesson is this afternoon so you must play
Don't shovel Chew slowly But hurry
The bus is here
Be careful Come back here
Did you wash behind your ears?
Play outside, don't play rough, will you just play fair?
Be polite, make a friend, don't forget to share
Work it out, wait your turn, never take a dare
Get along! Don't make me come down there
Clean your room, fold your clothes, put your stuff away
Make your bed, do it now, do we have all day?
Were you born in a barn? Would you like some hay?
Can you even hear a word I say?
Answer the phone! Get off the phone!
Don't sit so close, turn it down, no texting at the table
No more computer time tonight!
Your iPod's my iPod if you don't listen up
Where are you going and with whom and what time do you think you're coming home?
Saying thank you, please, excuse me makes you welcome everywhere you roam
You'll appreciate my wisdom someday when you're older and you're grown
Can't wait till you have a couple little children of your own
You'll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willingly
But right now I thank you not to roll your eyes at me
Close your mouth when you chew, would appreciate
Take a bite maybe two of the stuff you hate
Use your fork, do not burp or I'll set you straight
Eat the food I put upon your plate
Get an A, get the door, don't get smart with me
Get a grip, get in here, I'll count to three
Get a job, get a life, get a PHD
Get a dose of,
"I don't care who started it!
You're grounded until you're 36"
Get your story straight and tell the truth for once, for heaven's sake
And if all your friends jumped off a cliff would you jump, too?
If I've said it once, I've said at least a thousand times before
That you're too old to act this way
It must be your father's DNA
Look at me when I am talking
Stand up straighter when you walk
A place for everything and everything must be in place
Stop crying or I'll give you something real to cry about
Oh!
Brush your teeth, wash your face, put your PJs on
Get in bed, get up here, say a prayer with mom
Don't forget, I love you
And tomorrow we will do this all again because a mom's work never ends
You don't need the reason why
Because, because, because, because
I said so, I said so, I said so, I said so
I'm the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom!!
Ta da!!!

《彩虹》

徘徊過多少櫥窗 住過多少旅館 才會覺得分離也並不冤枉
感情是用來瀏覽 還是用來珍藏 好讓日子天天都過得難忘
熬過了多久患難 濕了多長眼眶 才能知道傷感是愛的遺產
流浪幾張雙人床 換過幾次信仰 才讓戒指義無反顧的交換

*把一個人的溫暖 轉移到另一個的胸膛
讓上次犯的錯反省出夢想 每個人都是這樣
享受過提心吊膽 才拒絕做愛情待罪的羔羊
回憶是抓不到的月光握緊就變黑暗 等虛假的背景消失於晴朗
陽光在身上流轉 等所有業障被原諒
愛情不停站 想開往地老天荒 需要多勇敢*

燭光照亮了晚餐 照不出個答案 戀愛不是溫馨的請客吃飯
床單上鋪滿花瓣 擁抱讓它成長 太擁擠就開到了別的土壤
感情需要人接班 接近換來期望 期望帶來失望的惡性循環
短暫的總是浪漫 漫長總會不滿 燒完美好青春換一個老伴

Repeat * *

你不要失望 蕩氣迴腸是為了 最美的不凡

a1 情緒 死了 元氣 散了
力氣 未夠令愛移調
a2 和你 夢醒了 第三者彷佛必要
而你 樂意 被纏繞

b 怎想到我像被人隨便拋低的玩具
還不知應要怪誰 難道我豁得出去
怎想到你被別人狂追便成為伴侶
善變沒有罪 卻是壯舉

c1 良心可一敲即碎 女人開始使我恐懼
遺失了你才明白我會消失了生趣
連心肝都可失去 然後犧牲我的眼淚
讓我 為你難堪下去

a3 難以 慘叫 唯有 苦笑
時間 為紀念你停掉
a4 和你 避不了 指尖鬆脫的一秒
就似 自我 被焚燒
repeat b c1
c2 像老了十歲 巴不得一飲即醉
至少不必恐怕進睡 為一個你難承受痛苦是我的不對
消失的擺於心裡 然後花光我的眼淚
便會 累到無知睡去
