Beautiful South, The ~ Should've Kept My Eyes Shut


(heaton/rotheray) I should've kept my eyes shut But i had to go and peep But when you saw what i saw Well, it's hard just to roll back to sleep I would've kept my eyes shut But i thought i heard you scream And i've a penchant for violence You don't seem to find in a dream The scene a little clearer My father with a rope And in the cage, centre-stage It's mother who's destined to choke And she choke and we choke On the words that we wish we'd not spoke Just when you felt you had someone to trust Out comes the man with the dagger and cloak I should've read the novels Believed every word But the stories they wrote Were so different to ones that i'd heard I should've kept my eyes shut My mouth should've closed But the mixture of vomit and blood Just crept up through my nose It became a little clearer As soon as i awoke My father stands with rope in hand A screaming mother kneels in hope And she hope and we hope That me words that she said won't provoke A smile is removed and a petal is crushed What once was a laugh has turned into a joke You should've kept your mouth shut more free lyrics

(heaton/rotheray)
I should've kept my eyes shut
But i had to go and peep
But when you saw what i saw
Well, it's hard just to roll back to sleep

I would've kept my eyes shut
But i thought i heard you scream
And i've a penchant for violence
You don't seem to find in a dream

The scene a little clearer
My father with a rope
And in the cage, centre-stage
It's mother who's destined to choke

And she choke and we choke
On the words that we wish we'd not spoke
Just when you felt you had someone to trust
Out comes the man with the dagger and cloak

I should've read the novels
Believed every word
But the stories they wrote
Were so different to ones that i'd heard

I should've kept my eyes shut
My mouth should've closed
But the mixture of vomit and blood
Just crept up through my nose

It became a little clearer
As soon as i awoke
My father stands with rope in hand
A screaming mother kneels in hope

And she hope and we hope
That me words that she said won't provoke
A smile is removed and a petal is crushed
What once was a laugh has turned into a joke

You should've kept your mouth shut

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.
