Alanis Morissette ~ I Was Hoping


As we were talking outside, It was cold, We were shivering, yet warmed by the subject matter. My wife is in the next room, We've been having troubles you know, Please don't tell her or anyone, But I need to talk to somebody. You said, 'Wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was Five minutes before I died? I'd be filled with such regret Before I took my last breath.' And I said, 'You're willing to tell me this now, and you're not going to die anytime soon.' And I said I haven't been eating chicken, Or meat, Or anything. And you said yes, but you've been wearing leather and laughed and said We're at the top of the food chain. And yes you're still a fine woman, And I cringed. I was hoping, I was hoping we could heal each other. I was hoping, I was hoping we could be raw together. We left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60's), said 'Good bye, sir. Thank you for your business sir. You're successful and established, sir, and we like the frequency with which you dine here sir. And your money.' And when I walked by, they said 'Thank you too dear.' I was all pigtails and cords. And there was a day when I would've said something like, 'Hey dude, I could buy and sell this place, so kiss it.' I too once thought I was owed something. I was hoping, I was hoping we could challenge each other. I was hoping, I was hoping we could crack each other up. I too thought that when proved wrong, I lost somehow. I too thought life was cruel. It's a cycle, really. You think I'm withdrawing and guilt tripping you. I think you're insensitive and I don't feel heard. And I said 'Do you believe we are fundamentally judgmental? Fundamentally evil?' And you said Yes. And I said do you believe in revenge, in right or wrong, good or bad? And you said 'Well, what about the man that I saw handcuffed in the emergency room, Bleeding after beating his kid, and she threw a shoe at his head. I think what he did was wrong, and I wouldn't have had a hard time feeling compassion for him.' I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged. I was hoping, I was hoping we could dance together. I was hoping, I was hoping we could be creamy together. more free lyrics

As we were talking outside,
It was cold,
We were shivering, yet warmed by the subject matter.

My wife is in the next room,
We've been having troubles you know,
Please don't tell her or anyone,
But I need to talk to somebody.

You said, 'Wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was
Five minutes before I died? I'd be filled with such regret
Before I took my last breath.'
And I said, 'You're willing to tell me this now, and you're not going to die anytime soon.'
And I said I haven't been eating chicken,
Or meat,
Or anything.

And you said yes, but you've been wearing leather and laughed and said
We're at the top of the food chain.
And yes you're still a fine woman,
And I cringed.

I was hoping,
I was hoping we could heal each other.
I was hoping,
I was hoping we could be raw together.

We left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60's), said
'Good bye, sir. Thank you for your business sir. You're successful and
established, sir, and we like the frequency with which you dine here sir. And
your money.'
And when I walked by, they said 'Thank you too dear.'
I was all pigtails and cords.
And there was a day when I would've said something like,
'Hey dude, I could buy and sell this place, so kiss it.'
I too once thought I was owed something.

I was hoping,
I was hoping we could challenge each other.
I was hoping,
I was hoping we could crack each other up.

I too thought that when proved wrong, I lost somehow.
I too thought life was cruel.
It's a cycle, really.
You think I'm withdrawing and guilt tripping you.
I think you're insensitive and I don't feel heard.

And I said 'Do you believe we are fundamentally judgmental?
Fundamentally evil?'
And you said Yes.
And I said do you believe in revenge, in right or wrong, good or bad?
And you said 'Well, what about the man that I saw handcuffed in the emergency
room,
Bleeding after beating his kid, and she threw a shoe at his head.
I think what he did was wrong, and I wouldn't have had a hard time feeling
compassion for him.'
I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged.

I was hoping,
I was hoping we could dance together.
I was hoping,
I was hoping we could be creamy together.

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.
