Barclay James Harvest, The ~ Happy Old World


Looking like something from out of space we came Nothing much to look at, but did he complain? He didn't mind us being here to live in peace and grace What we're doing to him now could put us back in space We're thinking like some creatures off the ocean floor Losing sight of what we've really come here for Can i be heard above the sounds of prejudice and hate? Take time to look around before it gets too late It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But i'm sorry to be leaving it It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But i guess i still, i still believe in it It's a happy old world We're tearing up the rivers and a thousand streams And highways, they're in places where they've never been We're building towers in the sky and racing for the sun Oh lord, any eye can see what harm we've done I need some help to get myself out of this maze We can both just say goodbye and go our separate ways My mind's not on this song i sing, my heart's not in the lines Guess i'll go and kill myself, so would you kindly close the blinds Oh a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But i'm sorry to be leaving it It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But i guess, guess i still believe in it It's a happy old world more free lyrics

Looking like something from out of space we came
Nothing much to look at, but did he complain?
He didn't mind us being here to live in peace and grace
What we're doing to him now could put us back in space
We're thinking like some creatures off the ocean floor
Losing sight of what we've really come here for
Can i be heard above the sounds of prejudice and hate?
Take time to look around before it gets too late
It's a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That's what you make of it
A happy old world
But i'm sorry to be leaving it
It's a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That's what you make of it
A happy old world
But i guess i still, i still believe in it
It's a happy old world

We're tearing up the rivers and a thousand streams
And highways, they're in places where they've never been
We're building towers in the sky and racing for the sun
Oh lord, any eye can see what harm we've done
I need some help to get myself out of this maze
We can both just say goodbye and go our separate ways
My mind's not on this song i sing, my heart's not in the lines
Guess i'll go and kill myself, so would you kindly close the blinds

Oh a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That's what you make of it
A happy old world
But i'm sorry to be leaving it
It's a happy old world
Give and take a bit
That's what you make of it
A happy old world
But i guess, guess i still believe in it
It's a happy old world

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.
