Alabama ~ Down Home


Rick bowles/josh leo Just off of the beaten path A little dot on a state road map That's where i was born and where i'll die Things move at a slower pace Nobody's in the rat race And these days that's a special way of life Chorus: Down home, where they know you by name And treat you like family Down home, a man's godd word and s hand shake Are all you need Folks know, if they;re fallnig on hard times They can fall back on Thos of us raised up down home In the corner of the hardware store Gathered 'round a checkerboard Old men telling lies and crowning kings Kids driving 'round th eold town square Tops rolled down in the coll night air Do and see what's shaking at the dairy queen Rpeat chorus Bridge When i was a boy, i couldn't wait to leave this place Butnow i want to see my children raised down home, down home Folks know, if they're falling on hard times They can fall back on Those of us raised up...

Just off of the beaten path
A little dot on a state road map
That's where i was born and where i'll die
Things move at a slower pace
Nobody's in the rat race
And these days that's a special way of life

Chorus:
Down home, where they know you by name
And treat you like family
Down home, a man's godd word and s hand shake
Are all you need
Folks know, if they;re fallnig on hard times
They can fall back on
Thos of us raised up down home

In the corner of the hardware store
Gathered 'round a checkerboard
Old men telling lies and crowning kings
Kids driving 'round th eold town square
Tops rolled down in the coll night air
Do and see what's shaking at the dairy queen

Rpeat chorus

Bridge
When i was a boy, i couldn't wait to leave this place
Butnow i want to see my children raised down home, down home

Folks know, if they're falling on hard times
They can fall back on
Those of us raised up...

Repeat chorus

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.
