Bruce Springsteen ~ Family Song (as Listed On Prodigal Son)


Well ya know when you're young, There's such a distance between you and your family. Just can't see things from the same point of view. Papa wants a lawyer and mama she wants an author, And all you want is for them to want you. Well, i saw lot of bad signs and we had some real bad timesback on the east coast. And i guess you could say it took california to bring us close. There was a lot of hard livin' and some stone cold women on the east coast. And i saw my papa turn away when i need him the most. And california, she's an angel. Lo, so heavenly dressed And the pacific she's a woman The lord must have loved her best. I got a california rainbow to come give them thunder clouds a rest And the mountain is my friend now, she put me to her test Well you know every father has dreams and schemes fo his own kid. And dreaming it ain't been declaired no capital crime But i just hope when i grow up to have my own kids I'll love them all i can and let 'em make their own minds Now you know how a mother can hold the son through understanding. And my father he once held me close by crying. Whoa, and my mama's love it don't ever leave me standing. And papa's love it just leaves me smiling. Whoa, and my mama she's a rainbow, Gotta see hen on sunday when she's dressed Whoa, and my papa he's a good man, he gives me and mama his best. Whoa, my mama she's a rainbow, come to give them thunder clouds a rest. And my family is my friend now california put us through her test. more free lyrics

Well ya know when you're young,
There's such a distance between you and your family.
Just can't see things from the same point of view.

Papa wants a lawyer and mama she wants an author,
And all you want is for them to want you.

Well, i saw lot of bad signs and we had some real bad timesback on the east coast.
And i guess you could say it took california to bring us close.
There was a lot of hard livin' and some stone cold women on the east coast.
And i saw my papa turn away when i need him the most.
And california, she's an angel.
Lo, so heavenly dressed
And the pacific she's a woman
The lord must have loved her best.
I got a california rainbow to come give them thunder clouds a rest
And the mountain is my friend now, she put me to her test
Well you know every father has dreams and schemes fo his own kid.
And dreaming it ain't been declaired no capital crime
But i just hope when i grow up to have my own kids
I'll love them all i can and let 'em make their own minds
Now you know how a mother can hold the son through understanding.
And my father he once held me close by crying.
Whoa, and my mama's love it don't ever leave me standing.
And papa's love it just leaves me smiling.
Whoa, and my mama she's a rainbow,
Gotta see hen on sunday when she's dressed
Whoa, and my papa he's a good man, he gives me and mama his best.
Whoa, my mama she's a rainbow, come to give them thunder clouds a rest.
And my family is my friend now california put us through her test.

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.
