Ben Folds Five ~ Barrytown


i'm not one to look behind i know that times must change. But over there in barrytown they do things very strange. Though you're not my enemy, I'd like things like they used to be. And though you'd like some company, I'm standing by myself. Go play with someone else. I can see by what you carry that you come from barrytown. Don't believe i'm taken in by stories i have heard. I just read the daily news and swear by every word. And don't think that i'm out of line For speaking out for what is mine. I'd like to see you do just fine But look at what you wear And the way you cut your hair. I can tell by what you carry that you come from barrytown. In the beginning we recall that the word was hurled. Barrytown people got to be from another world. Leave me or i'll be just like the others you will meet. They won't act as kindly if they see you on the street. And don't you scream or make a shout, There's nothing you can do about it. It was there when you came out. It's a special lack of grace. I can see it in your face. I can see by what you carry that you come from barrytown. more free lyrics

i'm not one to look behind i know that times must change.
But over there in barrytown they do things very strange.
Though you're not my enemy,
I'd like things like they used to be.
And though you'd like some company,
I'm standing by myself.
Go play with someone else.

I can see by what you carry that you come from barrytown.

Don't believe i'm taken in by stories i have heard.
I just read the daily news and swear by every word.
And don't think that i'm out of line
For speaking out for what is mine.
I'd like to see you do just fine
But look at what you wear
And the way you cut your hair.

I can tell by what you carry that you come from barrytown.

In the beginning we recall that the word was hurled.
Barrytown people got to be from another world.

Leave me or i'll be just like the others you will meet.
They won't act as kindly if they see you on the street.
And don't you scream or make a shout,
There's nothing you can do about it.
It was there when you came out.
It's a special lack of grace.
I can see it in your face.

I can see by what you carry that you come from barrytown.

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.
