Ani Difranco ~ Back Back Back


Back back back in the back of your mind Are you learning an angry language, Tell me boy boy boy are you tending to your joy Or are you just letting it vanquish Back back back in the dark of your mind Where the eyes of your demons are gleamin Are you mad mad mad About the life you never had Even when you are dreaming. Who are these old old people In these nursing homes Scowling away at nothing Like big rag dolls just cursing at the walls And pulling out all of their stuffing Every day is a door leading back to the core Yes, old age will distill you An dif you're this this this full of bitterness now Some day it will just fill you When you sit righ tdown in the middle of yourself You're gonna wanna have a comfortable chair So renovate your soul before you get too old Cuz you'r egonna be housebound there When you're old you fold up like an envelope And you mail yourself right inside And there's nowhere to go Except out real slow Are you ready, boy, for that ride? Your arrogance is gaining on you And so is eternity You better practice happiness You better practice humility You took the air, you took the time You were fed and you were free Now you'd better put some beauty back While you got the energy You'd better put some beauty back, boy While you got the energy more free lyrics

Back back back in the back of your mind
Are you learning an angry language,
Tell me boy boy boy are you tending to your joy
Or are you just letting it vanquish
Back back back in the dark of your mind
Where the eyes of your demons are gleamin
Are you mad mad mad
About the life you never had
Even when you are dreaming.

Who are these old old people
In these nursing homes
Scowling away at nothing
Like big rag dolls just cursing at the walls
And pulling out all of their stuffing
Every day is a door leading back to the core
Yes, old age will distill you
An dif you're this this this full of bitterness now
Some day it will just fill you

When you sit righ tdown in the middle of yourself
You're gonna wanna have a comfortable chair
So renovate your soul before you get too old
Cuz you'r egonna be housebound there
When you're old you fold up like an envelope
And you mail yourself right inside
And there's nowhere to go
Except out real slow
Are you ready, boy, for that ride?

Your arrogance is gaining on you
And so is eternity
You better practice happiness
You better practice humility
You took the air, you took the time
You were fed and you were free
Now you'd better put some beauty back
While you got the energy
You'd better put some beauty back, boy
While you got the energy

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.
