Written by b. setzer

I had one cup of coffee and a cigarette
Then i rolled out of bed with my shirt soaking wet
If i was gonna get movin', now was the time
So i packed up my bags and my gretsch '59

It's a tough life, love
But when push comes to shove
It's the only life for johnny johnny, johnny kool
Played his guitar and he sang like a fool
Don't let the big boys grind you down

Johnny johnny, johnny kool
He was a rebel that broke all the rules
Everyone can't stop talkin' about
The legend of johnny kool

It was darker than black, not a star in the sky
So i revved on the engine and let that mercury fly
With the wind blowin' by at a 105
It gave me a thrill just bein' alive

It's a tough life, love
But when push comes to shove
It's the only life for johnny johnny, johnny kool
Played his guitar and he sang like a fool
Don't let the big boys grind you down

Johnny johnny, johnny kool
He was a rebel that broke all the rules
Everyone can't stop talkin' about
The legend of johnny kool

Rumor had it now this cat had it all
He was loud, he was wild, and he sure rocked the hall
Some guy grabbed my arm and i jumped on the stage
And i was rockin' with a guy who was twice my age

It's a tough life, love
But when push comes to shove
It's the only life for johnny johnny, johnny kool
Played his guitar and he sang like a fool
Don't let the big boys grind you down

Johnny johnny, johnny kool
He was a rebel that broke all the rules
Everyone can't stop talkin' about
The legend of johnny kool

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.
