Bright Eyes ~ A Song To Pass The Time


There's a middle-aged woman, she's dragging her feet She carries baskets of clothes to a laundromat While the Mexican children, kick rocks into the street And they laugh in a language I don’t understand But I love them, why do I love them? So the neighborhood's dimming, I smoke on the porch Watch the people as they pass enclosed inside their cars On their faces just anger or disappointment I start wishing there was something I could offer them A consolation, what could I offer them? Well, they are sad in their suburbs, robots water the lawn and everything they touch gets dusted spotless And so they start to believe they've not touched anything at all And the cars in the driveway only multiply Well, They are lost in their houses I've heard them sing in the shower Making speeches to their sister on the telephone Saying, "You come home, woman, you come here Don’t stay so far away from me" This weather has me wanting love more tangible Something I can hold cause it’s getting cold Let's hold up our fists to the flame in the sky To block out the light that's reaching for our eyes Cause it, cause it would blind us Yeah it will blind us Well, I've locked my actions in the grooves of routine So I may never be free of this apathy But I wait for a letter that's coming to me She sends me pictures of the ocean in an envelope So there still is hope, yes, I can be healed There is someone looking for what I've concealed In my secret drawer, in my pockets deep You will find the reasons that I can’t sleep And you will still want me But will you still want me? Will you still want me? Well i said "Come for the week, you can sleep in my bed And pass through my life like a dream through my head It will be easy I'll make it easy" But, all I have for the moment is a song to pass the time And a melody to keep me from worrying Some simple progression to keep my fingers busy And words that are sure to come back to me And they'll be laughing And they'll be laughing My mediocrity, my mediocrity Yeah they'll be laughing Yeah they'll be laughing They will be laughing more free lyrics

There's a middle-aged woman, she's dragging her feet
She carries baskets of clothes to a laundromat
While the Mexican children, kick rocks into the street
And they laugh in a language I don’t understand
But I love them, why do I love them?
So the neighborhood's dimming, I smoke on the porch
Watch the people as they pass enclosed inside their cars
On their faces just anger or disappointment
I start wishing there was something I could offer them
A consolation, what could I offer them?
Well, they are sad in their suburbs, robots water the lawn
and everything they touch gets dusted spotless
And so they start to believe they've not touched anything at all
And the cars in the driveway only multiply
Well, They are lost in their houses
I've heard them sing in the shower
Making speeches to their sister on the telephone
Saying, "You come home, woman, you come here
Don’t stay so far away from me"
This weather has me wanting love more tangible
Something I can hold
cause it’s getting cold
Let's hold up our fists to the flame in the sky
To block out the light that's reaching for our eyes
Cause it, cause it would blind us
Yeah it will blind us
Well, I've locked my actions in the grooves of routine
So I may never be free of this apathy
But I wait for a letter that's coming to me
She sends me pictures of the ocean in an envelope
So there still is hope, yes, I can be healed
There is someone looking for what I've concealed
In my secret drawer, in my pockets deep
You will find the reasons that I can’t sleep
And you will still want me
But will you still want me?
Will you still want me?
Well i said "Come for the week, you can sleep in my bed
And pass through my life like a dream through my head
It will be easy
I'll make it easy"
But, all I have for the moment is a song to pass the time
And a melody to keep me from worrying
Some simple progression to keep my fingers busy
And words that are sure to come back to me
And they'll be laughing
And they'll be laughing
My mediocrity, my mediocrity
Yeah they'll be laughing
Yeah they'll be laughing
They will be laughing

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.
