10000 Maniacs ~ A Campfire Song


[ natalie merchant ] [ other voice: michael stipe ] A lie to say, "o my mountain has coal veins and beds to dig. 500 men with axes and they all dig for me." A lie to say, "o my river where many fish do swim, Half of the catch is mine when you haul your nets in." Never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray. No devil or redeemer will cheat him. He'll take his gold to where he's lying cold. A lie to say, "o my mine gave a diamond as big as a fist." But with every gem in his pocket, the jewels he has missed. A lie to say, "o my garden is growing taller by the day." He only eats the best and tosses the rest away. Never will he be believe that his greed is a blinding ray. No devil or redeemer can cheat him. He'll take his gold to where he's lying cold. Six deep in the grave. Something is out of reach Something he wanted Something is out of reach He's being taunted Something is out of reach That he can' beg or steal nor can he buy His oldest pain And fear in life There'll not be time His oldest pain And fear in life There'll not be time A lie to say "o my forest has trees that block the sun And when i cut them down i don't answer to anyone." No, no, never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray No devil or redeemer can cheat him. He'll take his gold where he's lying cold. more free lyrics

[ other voice: michael stipe ]

A lie to say, "o my mountain has coal veins and beds to dig.
500 men with axes and they all dig for me."
A lie to say, "o my river where many fish do swim,
Half of the catch is mine when you haul your nets in."
Never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray.
No devil or redeemer will cheat him.
He'll take his gold to where he's lying cold.

A lie to say, "o my mine gave a diamond as big as a fist."
But with every gem in his pocket, the jewels he has missed.
A lie to say, "o my garden is growing taller by the day."
He only eats the best and tosses the rest away.
Never will he be believe that his greed is a blinding ray.
No devil or redeemer can cheat him.
He'll take his gold to where he's lying cold.
Six deep in the grave.

Something is out of reach
Something he wanted
Something is out of reach
He's being taunted
Something is out of reach
That he can' beg or steal nor can he buy

His oldest pain
And fear in life
There'll not be time
His oldest pain
And fear in life
There'll not be time

A lie to say "o my forest has trees that block the sun
And when i cut them down i don't answer to anyone."
No, no, never will he believe that his greed is a blinding ray
No devil or redeemer can cheat him.
He'll take his gold where he's lying cold.

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.
