Carpenters ~ Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing


Sing, sing Who's that stompin' all over my face? Where's that sillhouette i'm trying to trace? And who's putting sponge in the bells i once rung And taking my gypsy before she's begun Just singing and a dreaming of what's in my mind Before i can take home what's rightfully mine Joinin' and a listenin' and talkin' in rhymes Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the times () who's saying maybe That don't mean a thing" 'cause nowadays clancy can't even sing Sing, sing Who's all hung-up on that happiness thing? Who's trying to tune all the bells they ring? And who's in the corner and down on the floor With pencil and paper just counting the score Who's trying to act like he's just in-between? The night isn't black, if you know that it's green Don't bother looking, you're too blind to see Who's coming on like he wanted to be? Repeat () Who's coming home on the old 9 to 5? Who's got the feeling here to keep him alive? Though havin' it, sharin' it, ain't quite the same You painted it golden nugget, you can't lay claim Who's seeing eyes through the crack in the floor? There it is baby, don't you worry no more Who should be sleepin', but 's writing this song Wishin' and a-hopin' he weren't so damned wrong Repeat (*) twice more free lyrics

Sing, sing

Who's that stompin' all over my face?

Where's that sillhouette i'm trying to trace?

And who's putting sponge in the bells i once rung

And taking my gypsy before she's begun

Just singing and a dreaming of what's in my mind

Before i can take home what's rightfully mine

Joinin' and a listenin' and talkin' in rhymes

Stoppin' the feeling to wait for the times

(*) who's saying maybe

That don't mean a thing"

'cause nowadays clancy can't even sing

Sing, sing

Who's all hung-up on that happiness thing?

Who's trying to tune all the bells they ring?

And who's in the corner and down on the floor

With pencil and paper just counting the score

Who's trying to act like he's just in-between?

The night isn't black, if you know that it's green

Don't bother looking, you're too blind to see

Who's coming on like he wanted to be?

Repeat (*)

Who's coming home on the old 9 to 5?

Who's got the feeling here to keep him alive?

Though havin' it, sharin' it, ain't quite the same

You painted it golden nugget, you can't lay claim

Who's seeing eyes through the crack in the floor?

There it is baby, don't you worry no more

Who should be sleepin', but 's writing this song

Wishin' and a-hopin' he weren't so damned wrong

Repeat (*) twice

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.
