R.E.M. ~ Can’t Get There From Here


When the world is a monster Bad to swallow you whole Kick the clay that holds the teeth in Throw your trolls out the door If you’re needing inspiration Philomath is where I go by dawn Lawyer Jeff he knows the lowdown He’s mighty bad to visit home I’ve been there I know the way (Can’t get there from here) I’ve been there I know the way (Can’t get there from here) I’ve been there I know the way (Can’t get there from here) I’ve been there I know the way When your hands are feeling empty Stick head jumpin off the ground, ‘round Tris is sure to shirr the deers out Brother Ray can sing my song I’ve been there I know the way (Can’t get there from here) I’ve been there I know the way (Can’t get there from here) I’ve been there I know the way (Can’t get there from here) I’ve been there I know the way Hands down, Calechee bound Landlocked kiss the ground Dirt of seven continents going round and round Go on ahead Mr. Citywide hypnotized, suit and tied Gentlemen, testify If your world is a monster Bad to swallow you whole Philomath they know the lowdown Throw your trolls out the door I’ve been there I know the way (Can’t get there from here) I’ve been there I know the way (Can’t get there from here) I’ve been there I know the way (Can’t get there from here) I’ve been there I know the way Thank you, Ray. more free lyrics

When the world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Kick the clay that holds the teeth in
Throw your trolls out the door
If you’re needing inspiration
Philomath is where I go by dawn
Lawyer Jeff he knows the lowdown
He’s mighty bad to visit home

I’ve been there I know the way
(Can’t get there from here)

I’ve been there I know the way
(Can’t get there from here)

I’ve been there I know the way
(Can’t get there from here)

I’ve been there I know the way

When your hands are feeling empty
Stick head jumpin off the ground, ‘round
Tris is sure to shirr the deers out
Brother Ray can sing my song

I’ve been there I know the way
(Can’t get there from here)

I’ve been there I know the way
(Can’t get there from here)

I’ve been there I know the way
(Can’t get there from here)

I’ve been there I know the way

Hands down, Calechee bound
Landlocked kiss the ground
Dirt of seven continents going round and round
Go on ahead Mr. Citywide hypnotized, suit and tied
Gentlemen, testify

If your world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Philomath they know the lowdown
Throw your trolls out the door

I’ve been there I know the way
(Can’t get there from here)

I’ve been there I know the way
(Can’t get there from here)

I’ve been there I know the way
(Can’t get there from here)

I’ve been there I know the way

Thank you, Ray.

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.
