Marvin Gaye ~ Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing


Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing I got your picture hangin' on the wall It can't see or come to me when I call your name I realize it's just a picture in a frame I read your letters when you're not near But they don't move me And they don't groove me like when I hear Your sweet voice whispering in my ear Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing I play the game, a fantasy I pretend I'm not in reality I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me No other sound is quite the same as your name No touch can do half as much to make me feel better So let's stay together I got some memories to look back on And though they help me when you phone I'm well aware nothing can take the place of being there So let me get the real thing So let me get the real thing Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing more free lyrics

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

I got your picture hangin' on the wall

It can't see or come to me when I call your name

I realize it's just a picture in a frame

I read your letters when you're not near

But they don't move me

And they don't groove me like when I hear

Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

I play the game, a fantasy

I pretend I'm not in reality

I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me

No other sound is quite the same as your name

No touch can do half as much to make me feel better

So let's stay together

I got some memories to look back on

And though they help me when you phone

I'm well aware nothing can take the place of being there

So let me get the real thing

So let me get the real thing

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

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.
