Bette Midler ~ Surabaya Johnny


I was young, i was just sixteen then, When you came up from burma one day. And you told me to pack up my suitcase, And i did, and you took me away. I said, "do you work nice and steady, Or do you go sailing and roving out to sea?" And you said, "i have a job on the railroad, And baby, how swell it's all gonna be." You said a lot, johnny. it was all lies. You sure had me fooled, right from the start. I hate you when you laugh at me like that. Take that pipe out of your mouth, johnny. Surabaya johnny. is it really the end? Surabayajohnny. will the hurt ever mend? Surabaya johnny. ooh, i burn at your touch. You got no heart, johnny, but oh, i love you so much. Thought at first you were kind and gentle, 'til i packed up and went off with you. And it lasted two weeks until one day You laughed at me and hit me too. You dragged me all over the city, Up the river and down to the sea. Now i look at myself in the mirror And some old woman looks back at me. You didn't want love, johnny, you wanted money. I gave you all i had. you wanted more. Oh, don't look at me that way. I'm only trying to talk to you. Wipe that grin off your face, johnny. >surabaya johnny. is it really the end? Surabayajohnny. will the pain never mend? Surabaya johnny. how i burn at your touch. You got no heart, johnny, but oh, i love you so much. When we met i forgot to ask you Why they called you that funny name, But in every hotel on the seacoast I found out, and i loved you all the same. I'm tired. i'm worn out. The sea's pounding in my ears. And i reach out my arms to hold you. You're not here and who even cares? You got no heart, johnny. you're just no good. You going now? oh, tell me why. I love you after all, johnny, like that very first day. Don't laugh at me no more, johnny. Surabaya johnny. is it really the end? Surabayajohnny. will the hurt ever mend?

I was young, i was just sixteen then,
When you came up from burma one day.
And you told me to pack up my suitcase,
And i did, and you took me away.
I said, "do you work nice and steady,
Or do you go sailing and roving out to sea?"
And you said, "i have a job on the railroad,
And baby, how swell it's all gonna be."
You said a lot, johnny. it was all lies.
You sure had me fooled, right from the start.
I hate you when you laugh at me like that.
Take that pipe out of your mouth, johnny.

Surabaya johnny. is it really the end?
Surabayajohnny. will the hurt ever mend?
Surabaya johnny. ooh, i burn at your touch.
You got no heart, johnny, but oh, i love you so much.

Thought at first you were kind and gentle,
'til i packed up and went off with you.
And it lasted two weeks until one day
You laughed at me and hit me too.
You dragged me all over the city,
Up the river and down to the sea.
Now i look at myself in the mirror
And some old woman looks back at me.
You didn't want love, johnny, you wanted money.
I gave you all i had. you wanted more.
Oh, don't look at me that way.
I'm only trying to talk to you.
Wipe that grin off your face, johnny.
>surabaya johnny. is it really the end?
Surabayajohnny. will the pain never mend?
Surabaya johnny. how i burn at your touch.
You got no heart, johnny, but oh, i love you so much.

When we met i forgot to ask you
Why they called you that funny name,
But in every hotel on the seacoast
I found out, and i loved you all the same.
I'm tired. i'm worn out.
The sea's pounding in my ears.
And i reach out my arms to hold you.
You're not here and who even cares?
You got no heart, johnny. you're just no good.
You going now? oh, tell me why.
I love you after all, johnny, like that very first day.
Don't laugh at me no more, johnny.

Surabaya johnny. is it really the end?
Surabayajohnny. will the hurt ever mend?
Surabaya johnny. oh, i burn at your touch.
You got no heart, johnny, but oh, i love you,
I love you, i love you so much.

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.
