Billy Bragg ~ North Sea Bubble


I went out drinking with thomas paine He said that all revolutions are not the same They are as different as the cultures That give them birth For no one idea Can solve every problem on earth So don't expect it all to happen In some prophesied political fashion For people are different And so are nations You can borrow ideas But you can't borrow situations In leningrad the people say Perestroika can be explained this way The people who told us That two and two is ten Are now trying to tell us That two and two is five We're living in a north sea bubble We're trying to spend our way out of trouble You keep buying these things but you don't need them But as long as you're comfortable it feels like freedom My american friends don't know what to do But they'll wait a long time for a beverley hills coup War! what is it good for It's good for business more free lyrics

I went out drinking with thomas paine
He said that all revolutions are not the same
They are as different as the cultures
That give them birth
For no one idea
Can solve every problem on earth

So don't expect it all to happen
In some prophesied political fashion
For people are different
And so are nations
You can borrow ideas
But you can't borrow situations

In leningrad the people say
Perestroika can be explained this way
The people who told us
That two and two is ten
Are now trying to tell us
That two and two is five

We're living in a north sea bubble
We're trying to spend our way out of trouble

You keep buying these things but you don't need them
But as long as you're comfortable it feels like freedom

My american friends don't know what to do
But they'll wait a long time for a beverley hills coup

War! what is it good for
It's good for business

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.
