R.E.M. ~ Monty Got A Raw Deal


Monty this seems strange to me. The movies had that movie thing, But nonsense has a welcome ring And heroes don’t come easy. Now, nonsense isn’t new to me. I know my head, I know my feet, But mischief knocked me in the knees. Said, Just let go. Just let go. I saw the ocean meet the man. I saw you buried in the sand. A friend was there to hold your hand, Said, Walk on by. So, I went walking through the street. I saw you strung up in a tree. A woman knelt there said to me, Said, Hold your tongue, man. Hold your tongue. You don’t owe me anything. You don’t want this sympathy. [waste your breath] Don’t you waste your breath. [waste your breath] For the silver screen. That nonsense doesn’t mean a thing, They tried to bust you in a sting, But virtue isn’t everything So, don’t waste time. Now, here’s a rhyme that you can steal. Put this on your reel to reel. Mischief threw a rotten deal. Monty’s laying low, man. He is laying low. Just let go, y’all. Just let go. You don’t owe me anything. You don’t want this sympathy. [waste your breath] Don’t you waste your breath. [waste your breath] Monty this seems strange to me. more free lyrics

Monty this seems strange to me.
The movies had that movie thing,
But nonsense has a welcome ring
And heroes don’t come easy.

Now, nonsense isn’t new to me.
I know my head, I know my feet,
But mischief knocked me in the knees.
Said, Just let go. Just let go.

I saw the ocean meet the man.
I saw you buried in the sand.
A friend was there to hold your hand,
Said, Walk on by.

So, I went walking through the street.
I saw you strung up in a tree.
A woman knelt there said to me,
Said, Hold your tongue, man. Hold your tongue.

You don’t owe me anything.
You don’t want this sympathy. [waste your breath]
Don’t you waste your breath. [waste your breath]
For the silver screen.

That nonsense doesn’t mean a thing,
They tried to bust you in a sting,
But virtue isn’t everything
So, don’t waste time.

Now, here’s a rhyme that you can steal.
Put this on your reel to reel.
Mischief threw a rotten deal.
Monty’s laying low, man.
He is laying low.
Just let go, y’all.
Just let go.

You don’t owe me anything.
You don’t want this sympathy. [waste your breath]
Don’t you waste your breath. [waste your breath]
Monty this seems strange to me.

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
