Asia ~ Awake


(adapted from 'the rubaiyat' of omar khayyam) "the dawning of a brand new day The waking of the whispers say: That sleeping heavens will return In deepest night the secret learned And from these walls this city lies The past will be our future The journey will be over, Awake!" I saw the writing on the wall The story of our birth then fall Within their tombs of holy stone The scrolls of life, one man alone So if we try, we can live and learn The sands will pull you under Don't let them pull you under Awake! I travelled to a foreign land Through stormy seas and burning sand Led by the stars the ancient stream The call of treasures yet unseen So if we climb to the rocks of kings Together we'll discover The source of all our wonder Awake! Someday we're going to go back to the stars And find the answer, who we really are A traveller through the lonely mists of time Creation from the sky The dawning of a brand new day The waking of the whispers say: That sleeping heavens will return In deepest night the secret learned From these walls this city lies The past will be our future The journey will be over Awake! Someday we're going to go back to the stars And find the answer who we really are A traveller through the lonely mists of time Creation from the sky Someday we're going to back to the stars And find the answer who we really are If we try, we can live and learn Together we'll discover The source of all our wonder Awake!

"the dawning of a brand new day
The waking of the whispers say:
That sleeping heavens will return
In deepest night the secret learned
And from these walls this city lies
The past will be our future
The journey will be over,
Awake!"
I saw the writing on the wall
The story of our birth then fall
Within their tombs of holy stone
The scrolls of life, one man alone
So if we try, we can live and learn
The sands will pull you under
Don't let them pull you under
Awake!

I travelled to a foreign land
Through stormy seas and burning sand
Led by the stars the ancient stream

The call of treasures yet unseen
So if we climb to the rocks of kings
Together we'll discover
The source of all our wonder
Awake!

Someday we're going to go back to the stars
And find the answer, who we really are
A traveller through the lonely mists of time
Creation from the sky

The dawning of a brand new day
The waking of the whispers say:
That sleeping heavens will return
In deepest night the secret learned
From these walls this city lies
The past will be our future
The journey will be over
Awake!

Someday we're going to go back to the stars
And find the answer who we really are
A traveller through the lonely mists of time
Creation from the sky

Someday we're going to back to the stars
And find the answer who we really are
If we try, we can live and learn
Together we'll discover
The source of all our wonder
Awake!

We saw the writing
We read the story
Awake!

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.
