Chris De Burgh ~ Brother John


Well brother john went down to the garden On a long hot summer's day. To watch that girl, he would hide in the shadows As she worked the time away. With her long black hair and her eyes of fire, And a body to drive men crazy...! It was on that day there would be a change In the world of brother john. She felt his and she walked up beside him And she took him by the hand. She said, "brother john, it's so hard to be holy, Would you like to be a man? I will meet you tonight at the monastery wall-- If you're there we will find out together," And the devil said, "there's a place in hell, For the soul of brother john!" Hallelujah! temptation is here! It's not a dream anymore. Hallelujah! it's finally here... I've been waiting, i'm waiting, i'm waiting...! Well brother john lay tossing and turning In his bed in the heat of the night. He heard his name and he went to the window Where she was in the pale moonlight. Oh the sins of the flesh are too much to deny! He was lost to her body forever! And the devil laughed and the angels cried For the soul of brother john. Hallelujah! temptation is here! It's not a dream anymore. Hallelujah! it's finally here... I've been waiting, i'm waiting, i'm waiting...! Hallelujah! temptation is here! It's not a dream anymore. Hallelujah! it's finally here... I've been waiting, i'm waiting, i'm waiting...! Temptation is here... for brother john... Temptation is here... for brother john.... more free lyrics

Well brother john went down to the garden
On a long hot summer's day.
To watch that girl, he would hide in the shadows
As she worked the time away.
With her long black hair and her eyes of fire,
And a body to drive men crazy...!
It was on that day there would be a change
In the world of brother john.

She felt his and she walked up beside him
And she took him by the hand.
She said, "brother john, it's so hard to be holy,
Would you like to be a man?
I will meet you tonight at the monastery wall--
If you're there we will find out together,"
And the devil said, "there's a place in hell,
For the soul of brother john!"

Hallelujah! temptation is here!
It's not a dream anymore.
Hallelujah! it's finally here...
I've been waiting, i'm waiting, i'm waiting...!

Well brother john lay tossing and turning
In his bed in the heat of the night.
He heard his name and he went to the window
Where she was in the pale moonlight.
Oh the sins of the flesh are too much to deny!
He was lost to her body forever!
And the devil laughed and the angels cried
For the soul of brother john.

Hallelujah! temptation is here!
It's not a dream anymore.
Hallelujah! it's finally here...
I've been waiting, i'm waiting, i'm waiting...!

Hallelujah! temptation is here!
It's not a dream anymore.
Hallelujah! it's finally here...
I've been waiting, i'm waiting, i'm waiting...!

Temptation is here... for brother john...
Temptation is here... for brother john....

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.
