Adrian Belew ~ The Ruin After The Rain


When it first began In the light of sacred things And you felt oblivious to any sort of pain When it first began to rain Then there came the steady flow Slowly like a flood Sweeping over everything and turning into mud Why? Is there nothing sacred left, nothing to hold on to? Is there no way to make it up, nothing that you can do? You believe what you want to believe Not so long ago It was as perfect as the snow You can never know what things May come to spoil your dreams And to hurt you as they have Do you hear the rain So insistent on the windowpane? A reminder of a night when everything was changed Why? Is there nothing sacred left, nothing to hold on to? Is there no way to make it up, nothing that you can do? You believe what you want to believe When the light of morning comes You see the damage done And you know how many things May never be the same There you will remain In the ruin after the rain "the ruin after the rain" Sunday, may 12, 1996 more free lyrics

When it first began
In the light of sacred things
And you felt oblivious to any sort of pain
When it first began to rain
Then there came the steady flow
Slowly like a flood
Sweeping over everything and turning into mud
Why?

Is there nothing sacred left, nothing to hold on to?
Is there no way to make it up, nothing that you can do?
You believe what you want to believe

Not so long ago
It was as perfect as the snow
You can never know what things
May come to spoil your dreams
And to hurt you as they have
Do you hear the rain
So insistent on the windowpane?
A reminder of a night when everything was changed
Why?

Is there nothing sacred left, nothing to hold on to?
Is there no way to make it up, nothing that you can do?
You believe what you want to believe

When the light of morning comes
You see the damage done
And you know how many things
May never be the same
There you will remain
In the ruin after the rain

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.
