Brave Combo ~ Candles


Refrain: You, were my hope Your hope was mine Candles are low For the last time I don't want to look; when i do it saddens me It saddens me so when i recall their first light I don't want to turn back to then, for then i'll see How quickly they lengthen in line and they multiply (refrain) Once i made a big cake for my father so long ago For his 50th birthday one year, wouldn't you know Like cassandra, i read him a chilling prophecy I read him a poem, it was 'candles' and now i grieve Spoken: [days of our future stand before us Like a row of little lighted candles Golden, warm and lively little candles The days gone by remain behind us A mournful line of burnt-out candles The nearest ones are still smoking Cold candles, melted, and bent] (from "candles" by cavafy) I don't want to look when i do it saddens me It saddens me so when i recall their first light I don't want to turn back to then, for then i'll see How quickly they lengthen in line, and they multiply.

Refrain:
You, were my hope
Your hope was mine
Candles are low
For the last time
I don't want to look; when i do it saddens me
It saddens me so when i recall their first light
I don't want to turn back to then, for then i'll see
How quickly they lengthen in line and they multiply

(refrain)

Once i made a big cake for my father so long ago
For his 50th birthday one year, wouldn't you know
Like cassandra, i read him a chilling prophecy
I read him a poem, it was 'candles' and now i grieve

Spoken:
[days of our future stand before us
Like a row of little lighted candles
Golden, warm and lively little candles
The days gone by remain behind us
A mournful line of burnt-out candles
The nearest ones are still smoking
Cold candles, melted, and bent]
(from "candles" by cavafy)

I don't want to look when i do it saddens me
It saddens me so when i recall their first light
I don't want to turn back to then, for then i'll see
How quickly they lengthen in line, and they multiply.

(refrain)

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.
