Catatonia ~ This Boy Can't Swim


This boy can't swim, he's wearing too many skins I hope he sinks, then he'll forget everything Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together Then realised those he lied to were cleverer Left on the side they have long since rejoined him Back in the fold thick as thieves they will weigh him down 2nd verse (chords as above) This boy can't swim he's carrying too many sins I hope he sinks, till he forgets everything 2nd chorus 'good as gold' alternates with 'thick as thieves' more free lyrics

This boy can't swim, he's wearing too many skins
I hope he sinks, then he'll forget everything
Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together
Then realised those he lied to were cleverer
Left on the side they have long since rejoined him
Back in the fold thick as thieves they will weigh him down

2nd verse (chords as above)
This boy can't swim he's carrying too many sins
I hope he sinks, till he forgets everything

2nd chorus
'good as gold' alternates with 'thick as thieves'

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.
