10000 Maniacs ~ Don't Go Back To Rockville


[ original version by r.e.m. ] Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't Know You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left To go Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself I know it might sound strange, but i believe You'll be coming back before too long Don't go back to rockville And waste another year At night i drink myself to sleep and pretend I don't care if you're not here with me 'cause it's so much easier to handle All my problems if i'm too far out to sea But something better happen soon Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back It's not as though i really need you If you were here i'd only bleed you But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and That's not how it ought to be I know it might sound strange, but i believe You'll be coming back before too long more free lyrics

[ original version by r.e.m. ]

Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus

Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough
Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't
Know
You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left
To go
Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself
I know it might sound strange, but i believe
You'll be coming back before too long

Don't go back to rockville
And waste another year

At night i drink myself to sleep and pretend
I don't care if you're not here with me
'cause it's so much easier to handle
All my problems if i'm too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back

It's not as though i really need you
If you were here i'd only bleed you
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and
That's not how it ought to be
I know it might sound strange, but i believe
You'll be coming back before too long

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.
