Billy Bragg ~ Airline To Heaven


There's an airline plane Flies to heaven every day Past them pearly gates If you want to ride this train Have your ticket in your hand Before it is too late If the world looks wrong And your money's spent and gone And your friend has turned away You can get away to heaven On this aeroplane Just bow your head and pray. Them's got ears let them hear Them's got eyes let them see Turn your eyes to the lord of the skies Take that airline plane It will take you home again. Yes, take you home again. Yes, to your home beyond the skies. Well, a lot of people guess Some say no and some say yes Will it take some and leave some behind? But you will surely know When to the airport go To leave this world behind Oh, a lot of speakers speak And a lot of preachers preach When you lay their salary on the line But to bow your head and pray Is the only earthly way That you can fly to heaven on time. That you can reach heaven on time. Your ticket you obtain On this heavenly airline plane You leave your sins behind You have got to take this flight Might be daytime, might be night, But you can't see your way if you're blind Words: woody guthrie (1939) - Music: jay bennett/jeff tweedy (1997) Jay bennett: 12-string acoustic slide guitars, backing vocal, shakers, saw, claps John stirratt: backing vocal, claps Jeff tweedy: vocal, acoustic guitar, mellotrons, claps more free lyrics

There's an airline plane
Flies to heaven every day
Past them pearly gates
If you want to ride this train
Have your ticket in your hand
Before it is too late
If the world looks wrong
And your money's spent and gone
And your friend has turned away
You can get away to heaven
On this aeroplane
Just bow your head and pray.

Them's got ears let them hear
Them's got eyes let them see
Turn your eyes to the lord of the skies
Take that airline plane
It will take you home again.
Yes, take you home again.
Yes, to your home beyond the skies.

Well, a lot of people guess
Some say no and some say yes
Will it take some and leave some behind?
But you will surely know
When to the airport go
To leave this world behind

Oh, a lot of speakers speak
And a lot of preachers preach
When you lay their salary on the line
But to bow your head and pray
Is the only earthly way
That you can fly to heaven on time.
That you can reach heaven on time.

Your ticket you obtain
On this heavenly airline plane
You leave your sins behind
You have got to take this flight
Might be daytime, might be night,
But you can't see your way if you're blind

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.
