Freda Payne ~ The Road We Didn't Take


CHORUS: I've gone through life pretending That time will change the ending And find the road we didn't take, The life we didn't make But those mistakes behind me Cast shadows to remind me Of the road we didn't take, The years we threw away Nameless faces come like haunting dreams Words we spoke but didn't mean I watch my life as it unwinds I see the years I left behind Tears go rushing down my face For the years I threw away Far away CHORUS In my hands, I hold the burnt-out ends Pages of the past where we began The love I thought would always stand I found was built on shifting sand The road to life went a different way The road we should've took yesterday So far away (I've gone through life pretending That time will change the ending But those mistakes behind me Cast shadows to remind me Oooooooooooooooooh, oooooooooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) CHORUS (fade out) more free lyrics

CHORUS:
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
And find the road we didn't take,
The life we didn't make
But those mistakes behind me
Cast shadows to remind me
Of the road we didn't take,
The years we threw away

Nameless faces come like haunting dreams
Words we spoke but didn't mean
I watch my life as it unwinds
I see the years I left behind
Tears go rushing down my face
For the years I threw away
Far away

CHORUS

In my hands, I hold the burnt-out ends
Pages of the past where we began
The love I thought would always stand
I found was built on shifting sand
The road to life went a different way
The road we should've took yesterday
So far away

(I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
But those mistakes behind me
Cast shadows to remind me
Oooooooooooooooooh, oooooooooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

CHORUS

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.
