Billy Rankin ~ Burning Down


If it takes them so long, So long to say yes, Why don’t they just say no? They don’t need anyone to be put to the test Why don’t they let us go? Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right, Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right, Livin?for the right to be free. We need a plan, we needed defenses, We couldn’t raise a smile, As the world looked on, they raided our senses, There can be no reconcile. Burning down, burning down, burning down, burning down. There was a time before life was taken for granted, ‘will never come again, Our flower is dead, the seed is unplanted. They put it all to flame. Burning down, burning down, burning down, burning down. Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right, Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right, Livin?for the right to be free. Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right, Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right, Livin?for the right to be free. Burning down, burning down, burning down, burning down.

If it takes them so long,
So long to say yes,
Why don’t they just say no?
They don’t need anyone to be put to the test
Why don’t they let us go?

Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right,
Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right,
Livin?for the right to be free.

We need a plan, we needed defenses,
We couldn’t raise a smile,
As the world looked on, they raided our senses,
There can be no reconcile.

Burning down, burning down, burning down, burning down.

There was a time before life was taken for granted,
‘will never come again,
Our flower is dead, the seed is unplanted.
They put it all to flame.

Burning down, burning down, burning down, burning down.

Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right,
Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right,
Livin?for the right to be free.
Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right,
Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right,
Livin?for the right to be free.

Burning down, burning down, burning down, burning down.

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.
