Carpenters ~ Goofus


I was born on a farm out in iowa A flaming youth i was bound i would fly away I packed my grip and i grabbed my saxophone Can't read notes, but i play anything by ear I made up tunes on the sounds that i used to hear When i'd start to play folks to say "sounds a little goofus to me" () cornfed chords appeal to me I like rustic harmony Hold a note and change the key Hey but that's "goofus" Not according to the rules That you learn in music schools But the folks just dance like fools They sure go for " goofus" Got a job but i just couldn't keep it long The leader said that i played all the music wrong So i stepped out with an outfit of my own () got together a new kind of orchestra And we all played just the same "goofus" harmony And i must admit we made a hit "goofus" has been lucky for me Repeat () Repeat (**) more free lyrics

I was born on a farm out in iowa

A flaming youth i was bound i would fly away

I packed my grip and i grabbed my saxophone

Can't read notes, but i play anything by ear

I made up tunes on the sounds that i used to hear

When i'd start to play folks to say

"sounds a little goofus to me"

(*) cornfed chords appeal to me

I like rustic harmony

Hold a note and change the key

Hey but that's "goofus"

Not according to the rules

That you learn in music schools

But the folks just dance like fools

They sure go for " goofus"

Got a job but i just couldn't keep it long

The leader said that i played all the music wrong

So i stepped out with an outfit of my own

(**) got together a new kind of orchestra

And we all played just the same "goofus" harmony

And i must admit we made a hit

"goofus" has been lucky for me

Repeat (*)

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.
