Cyndi Lauper ~ Broken Glass


Ever since I could understand my mother said to me "don't you ever let a man hit you, don't you grow up like me" so I swore I'd never be like her or my grandmother too even if it meant I'd be alone even if it meant I'd be alone 'Cause she looked 'Cause she looked like broken glass when she fell to the ground I heard the sound of thunder trailing off when she started coming 'round but she couldn't make him stop and she wouldn't let it go so everytime she got back up like broken glass went tumblin' down tumblin' down First time that I saw your face you looked so lost and kind should have recognized that troubled look from the road I left behind but I thought that I could comfort you or was it you could comfort me never saw your anger 'till you blew never saw your anger 'till you blew And I'd feel oh I'd feel like broken glass when I fell to the ground I heard the sound of thunder trailing off when I started coming 'round but I couldn't make you stop and you wouldn't let it go so everytime I got back up like broken glass went tumbling down... The slightest thing could spark you there was always hell to pay I could feel your darkness in me and I knew just what to say and the rest I can't remember but it sounded like a gun but it could have been a firecracker it could have been a firecracker made me run And you looked oh you looked like broken glass when you fell to the ground I heard the sound of thunder trailing off when you started coming 'round but I couldn't make you stop and you wouldn't let it go so this time when you got back up like broken glass you went just like broken glass just like broken glass... ...tumbling down, tumbling down... more free lyrics

Ever since I could understand
my mother said to me
"don't you ever let a man hit you,
don't you grow up like me"
so I swore I'd never be like her
or my grandmother too
even if it meant I'd be alone
even if it meant I'd be alone

'Cause she looked
'Cause she looked like broken glass
when she fell to the ground
I heard the sound of thunder
trailing off
when she started coming 'round
but she couldn't make him stop
and she wouldn't let it go
so everytime she got back up
like broken glass went tumblin' down
tumblin' down

First time that I saw your face
you looked so lost and kind
should have recognized that
troubled look
from the road I left behind
but I thought that I could comfort you
or was it you could comfort me
never saw your anger 'till you blew
never saw your anger 'till you blew

And I'd feel
oh I'd feel like broken glass
when I fell to the ground
I heard the sound of thunder
trailing off
when I started coming 'round
but I couldn't make you stop
and you wouldn't let it go
so everytime I got back up
like broken glass went tumbling down...

The slightest thing could spark you
there was always hell to pay
I could feel your darkness in me
and I knew just what to say
and the rest I can't remember
but it sounded like a gun
but it could have been a firecracker
it could have been a firecracker
made me run

And you looked
oh you looked like broken glass
when you fell to the ground
I heard the sound of thunder
trailing off
when you started coming 'round
but I couldn't make you stop
and you wouldn't let it go
so this time when you got back up
like broken glass you went
just like broken glass
just like broken glass...
...tumbling down, tumbling down...

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.
