10000 Maniacs ~ Dust Bowl


[ music: robert buck/words: natalie merchant ] I should know to leave them home. They follow me through the store with these toys i can't afford. "kids, take them back, you know better than that." Dolls that talk, astronauts, t.v. games, airplanes, they don't understand and how can i explain? I try and try but i can't save. Pennies, nickels, dollars slip away. I've tried and tried but i can't save. My youngest girl has bad fever, sure. All night with alcohol to cool and rub her down. Ruby, i'm tired, try and get some sleep. I'm adding doctor's fees to remedies with the cost of three day's work lost. I try and try but i can't save. Pennies, nickels, dollars slip away. I've tried and tried but i can't save. The hole in my pocketbook is growing. There's a new wind blowing they say, it's gonna be a cold, cold one. So brace yourselves my darlings, it won't bring anything much our way but more dust bowl days. I played a card in this weeks game. Took the first and the last letters in three of their names. This lottery's been building up for weeks. I could be lucky me with the five million prize, tears of disbelief spilling out of my eyes. I try and try but i can't save. Pennies, nickels, dollars slip away. I've tried and tried but i can't save. The hole in my pocketbook is growing. There's a new wind blowing they say, it's gonna be a cold, cold one. So brace yourselves my darlings, it won't bring anything much our way but more dust bowl days. more free lyrics

[ music: robert buck/words: natalie merchant ]

I should know to leave them home.
They follow me through the store with these toys i can't afford.
"kids, take them back, you know better than that."
Dolls that talk, astronauts, t.v. games, airplanes, they don't understand and how can i explain?
I try and try but i can't save.
Pennies, nickels, dollars slip away.
I've tried and tried but i can't save.

My youngest girl has bad fever, sure.
All night with alcohol to cool and rub her down.
Ruby, i'm tired, try and get some sleep.
I'm adding doctor's fees to remedies with the cost of three day's work lost.
I try and try but i can't save.
Pennies, nickels, dollars slip away.
I've tried and tried but i can't save.
The hole in my pocketbook is growing.

There's a new wind blowing they say, it's gonna be a cold, cold one.
So brace yourselves my darlings, it won't bring anything much our way but more dust bowl days.

I played a card in this weeks game.
Took the first and the last letters in three of their names.
This lottery's been building up for weeks.
I could be lucky me with the five million prize, tears of disbelief spilling out of my eyes.
I try and try but i can't save.
Pennies, nickels, dollars slip away.
I've tried and tried but i can't save.
The hole in my pocketbook is growing.

There's a new wind blowing they say, it's gonna be a cold, cold one.
So brace yourselves my darlings, it won't bring anything much our way but more dust bowl days.

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.
