Blondie ~ Under The Gun [for Jeffrey Lee Pierce]


I still can picture him: his hands in his back pockets. He wasn't much for words, but when the wise kids made a racket he'd just have to go downtown, throw his weight around before starting over. "say did you hear i've got a band? Some guys i know from l.a. We'll own the rio grande. I'll pay you back next friday. You know it sure ain't big, just some cats i dig. They said they'd do the gig." Oh desperado, why don't you spend your life in colorado? Oh restless shadow, out in the blue hills you're feeling hollow. Oh el diablo, why did you spend your life in california? I should have warned ya. No place to go now but falling over. Some hands can't make it on the run, under the gun. Not for the younger. Oh jack daniels, i feel your hunger. I know you did your best, but you thought that you did not. I wish that i had known before i heard the last shot. You know, it's not a sin, that little badge of tin. Just a momento. So sad you loved in vain. My comrades lost in battle. The music wars are done from london to seattle. We all pay to play and all our yesterdays are starting over. Oh desperado, why don't you spend your life in colorado? Oh restless shadow, out on the blue hills you're feeling hollow. Oh el diablo, why did you spend your life in california? I should have warned ya. No place to go now but falling over. Ready to die. Now he's ready to die. more free lyrics

I still can picture him: his hands in his back pockets.
He wasn't much for words, but when the wise kids made a racket he'd just have to go downtown, throw his weight around before starting over.

"say did you hear i've got a band?
Some guys i know from l.a.
We'll own the rio grande.
I'll pay you back next friday.
You know it sure ain't big, just some cats i dig.
They said they'd do the gig."

Oh desperado, why don't you spend your life in colorado?
Oh restless shadow, out in the blue hills you're feeling hollow.

Oh el diablo, why did you spend your life in california?
I should have warned ya.
No place to go now but falling over.

Some hands can't make it on the run, under the gun.
Not for the younger.
Oh jack daniels, i feel your hunger.

I know you did your best, but you thought that you did not.
I wish that i had known before i heard the last shot.
You know, it's not a sin, that little badge of tin.
Just a momento.

So sad you loved in vain.
My comrades lost in battle.
The music wars are done from london to seattle.
We all pay to play and all our yesterdays are starting over.

Oh desperado, why don't you spend your life in colorado?
Oh restless shadow, out on the blue hills you're feeling hollow.

Oh el diablo, why did you spend your life in california?
I should have warned ya.
No place to go now but falling over.

Ready to die.
Now he's ready to die.

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.
