Barbra Streisand ~ I Stayed Too Long At The Fair


I wanted the music to play on forever Have i stayed too long at the fair? I wanted the clown to be constantly clever Have i stayed too long at the fair? I bought me blue ribbons to tie up my hair, But i couldn't find anybody to care; The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt now Have i stayed too long at the fair? The music has stop and the children must go now Have i stayed too long at the fair? Oh, mother dear, i know you're very proud, Your little girl in gingham is so far above the crowd; No, daddy dear, you never could have known That i would be successful, yet so very much alone... I wanted to live in a carnival city, With laughter and love everywhere; I wanted my friends to be thrilling and witty, I wanted somebody to care; I found my blue ribbons all shiny and new But now i discover them no longer blue... The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt me, Have i stayed too long at the fair? There's nothing to win And there's no one to want me Have i stayed too long at the fair?

I wanted the music to play on forever
Have i stayed too long at the fair?
I wanted the clown to be constantly clever
Have i stayed too long at the fair?
I bought me blue ribbons to tie up my hair,
But i couldn't find anybody to care;
The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt now
Have i stayed too long at the fair?
The music has stop and the children must go now
Have i stayed too long at the fair?
Oh, mother dear, i know you're very proud,
Your little girl in gingham is so far above the crowd;
No, daddy dear, you never could have known
That i would be successful, yet so very much alone...
I wanted to live in a carnival city,
With laughter and love everywhere;
I wanted my friends to be thrilling and witty,
I wanted somebody to care;
I found my blue ribbons all shiny and new
But now i discover them no longer blue...
The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt me,
Have i stayed too long at the fair?
There's nothing to win
And there's no one to want me
Have i stayed too long at the fair?

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.
