Alphaville ~ Five Years


Pushing through the market square So many mothers sighing News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying Cried so much, his face was wet, then i knew, he was not lying I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies I saw boys, toys, electric irons and tv's My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare I had to cram so many things to store, everything in there And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people I never thought i'd need so many people A girl of my age went off her head, hit some tiny children If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, i think she would have killed them A soldier with a broken arm Fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest And a queer threw up at the sight of that I think i saw you in an icecream parlour Drinking milkshakes cold and long Smiling and waving and looking so fine I don't think you knew you were in this song And it was cold and it raind, so i felt like an actor And i thought of ma and i wanted to get back there Your face, your race, the way that you talk I kiss you, you're beautiful, i want you to walk We've got five years, stuck on my eyes, we've got five years, what a surprise We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot, we've got five years, that's all we've got We've got five years... more free lyrics

Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much, his face was wet, then i knew, he was not lying

I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and tv's
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store, everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought i'd need so many people

A girl of my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, i think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the sight of that

I think i saw you in an icecream parlour
Drinking milkshakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
I don't think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it raind, so i felt like an actor
And i thought of ma and i wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, i want you to walk

We've got five years, stuck on my eyes, we've got five years, what a surprise
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot, we've got five years, that's all we've got
We've got five years...

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.
