R.E.M. ~ Photograph


I found this photograph, underneath the broken picture glass. Tender face of black and white, Beautiful, a haunting sight. Looked into an angel's smile, captivated all the while. From the hair and clothes she wore, I'd place her in between the wars. Was she willing when she sat and posed the pretty photograph? Save her flowering and fair, the days to come, the days to share. A big smile for the camera, how did she know? the moment could be lost forever forever more I found this photograph, stashed between the old joist walls, in a place where time is lost, lost behind, where all things fall. Broken books and calendars, letters script in careful hand, music too, a standard tune by some forgotten big brass band. From the threshhold what's to see of our brave new century? The television's just a dream, the radio, the silver screen. A big smile for the camera, how did she know? the moment could be lost forever forever more Was her childhood filled with rhymes, stolen hooks, impassioned crimes? Was she innocent or blind to the cruelty of her time? Was she fearful in her day, was she hopeful, did she pray? Were there skeletons inside, family secrets, sworn to hide? Did she feel the beat that stirs, the fall from grace of wayward girls? Was she tempted to pretend, the love and laughter, 'til the end? more free lyrics

I found this photograph,
underneath the broken picture glass.
Tender face of black and white,
Beautiful, a haunting sight.
Looked into an angel's smile,
captivated all the while.
From the hair and clothes she wore,
I'd place her in between the wars.

Was she willing when she sat
and posed the pretty photograph?
Save her flowering and fair,
the days to come, the days to share.
A big smile for the camera,
how did she know?
the moment could be lost forever
forever more

I found this photograph,
stashed between the old joist walls,
in a place where time is lost,
lost behind, where all things fall.
Broken books and calendars,
letters script in careful hand,
music too, a standard tune by
some forgotten big brass band.

From the threshhold what's to see
of our brave new century?
The television's just a dream,
the radio, the silver screen.
A big smile for the camera,
how did she know?
the moment could be lost forever
forever more

Was her childhood filled with rhymes,
stolen hooks, impassioned crimes?
Was she innocent or blind
to the cruelty of her time?
Was she fearful in her day,
was she hopeful, did she pray?
Were there skeletons inside,
family secrets, sworn to hide?
Did she feel the beat that stirs,
the fall from grace of wayward girls?
Was she tempted to pretend,
the love and laughter, 'til the end?

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.
