R.E.M. ~ How The West Was Won And Where It Got Us


Blood from a stone Water from wine. Born under earplay design. A stroke of bad luck, wrong place, wrong time. This flyer is out of the lime. The story is a sad one, told many times. The story of my life in trying times. Just add water, stir in lime. How the west was won and where it got us. Canary got trapped, the uranium mine. A stroke of bad luck, now the bird has died. A marker to mark where my tears run dry. I cross it, bless it, alkaline. The story is a sad one, told many times. The story of my life in trying times. Just add water, stir in lime. How the west was won and where it got us. I didn’t wear glasses cause I thought it might rain. Now I can’t see anything. I made a mistake, chalked it up to design. I cracked through time, space, Godless and dry. I point my nose to the northern star, Watch the decline from a hazy distance. The story is a sad one, told many times. The story of my life in trying times. Just add water, stir in lime. How the west was won and where it got us. more free lyrics

Blood from a stone
Water from wine.
Born under earplay design.
A stroke of bad luck,
wrong place, wrong time.
This flyer is out of the lime.

The story is a sad one, told many times.
The story of my life in trying times.
Just add water, stir in lime.
How the west was won and where it got us.

Canary got trapped, the uranium mine.
A stroke of bad luck, now the bird has died.
A marker to mark where my tears run dry.
I cross it, bless it, alkaline.

The story is a sad one, told many times.
The story of my life in trying times.
Just add water, stir in lime.
How the west was won and where it got us.

I didn’t wear glasses cause I thought it might rain.
Now I can’t see anything.
I made a mistake, chalked it up to design.
I cracked through time, space, Godless and dry.
I point my nose to the northern star,
Watch the decline from a hazy distance.

The story is a sad one, told many times.
The story of my life in trying times.
Just add water, stir in lime.
How the west was won and where it got us.

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.
