Bruce Springsteen ~ The Big Muddy


Billy had a mistress down on 'a' and 12th She was that little somethin' that he did for himself His own little secret didn't hurt nobody Come the afternoon he'd take her wadin' Waist deep in the big muddy Waist deep in the big muddy You start out standing but end up crawlin' Got in some trouble and needed a hand from a friend of mine This old friend he had a figure in mind It was nothing illegal just a little bit funny He said "c'mon don't tell me that the rich don't know Sooner or later it all comes down to money" And you're waist deep in the big muddy Waist deep in the big muddy You start on higher ground but end up crawlin' Well i had a friend said "you watch what you do Poison snake bites you and you're poison too"* How beautiful the river flows and the birds they sing But you and i we're messier things There ain't no one leavin' this world buddy Without their shirttail dirty Or their hands bloody Waist deep in the big muddy Waist deep in the big muddy You start on higher ground but end up somehow crawlin' Waist deep in the big muddy more free lyrics

Billy had a mistress down on 'a' and 12th
She was that little somethin' that he did for himself
His own little secret didn't hurt nobody
Come the afternoon he'd take her wadin'

Waist deep in the big muddy
Waist deep in the big muddy
You start out standing but end up crawlin'

Got in some trouble and needed a hand from a friend of mine
This old friend he had a figure in mind
It was nothing illegal just a little bit funny
He said "c'mon don't tell me that the rich don't know
Sooner or later it all comes down to money"

And you're waist deep in the big muddy
Waist deep in the big muddy
You start on higher ground but end up crawlin'

Well i had a friend said "you watch what you do
Poison snake bites you and you're poison too"*

How beautiful the river flows and the birds they sing
But you and i we're messier things
There ain't no one leavin' this world buddy
Without their shirttail dirty
Or their hands bloody

Waist deep in the big muddy
Waist deep in the big muddy
You start on higher ground but end up somehow crawlin'
Waist deep in the big muddy

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.
