Billy Bragg ~ Secret Of The Sea


Who can guess the secret of the sea? Who can guess the secret of the sea? If you can guess the secret of my love for you We can both know the secret of the sea Tell me could you ever tell the secret of the sea? Of these high rolling waves along the shore? The footprints of the lovers that come here to love By the tides washed away forever more Who can guess the secret of the sea? Who can guess the secret of the sea? If you can guess the secret of my love for you We can both know the secret of the sea You claim to know the secret of a kiss and a hug And the secret of grass and of the trees And if you can tell the secret of a warm friends hand Then we all would feel the secrets of the sea Who can guess the secret of the sea? Who can guess the secret of the sea? If you can guess the secret of my love for you We can both know the secret of the sea Words: woody guthrie (1939) - Music: jay bennett/jeff tweedy (1999) Jay bennett: pianos, acoustic guitars, organ, tambourine, baritone guitar, slide guitars, electric sitars, backing vocal, electric guitars Ken coomer: drums John stirratt: bass, backing vocal Jeff tweedy: vocal, 12-string acoustic guitar more free lyrics

Who can guess the secret of the sea?
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
If you can guess the secret of my love for you
We can both know the secret of the sea

Tell me could you ever tell the secret of the sea?
Of these high rolling waves along the shore?
The footprints of the lovers that come here to love
By the tides washed away forever more

Who can guess the secret of the sea?
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
If you can guess the secret of my love for you
We can both know the secret of the sea

You claim to know the secret of a kiss and a hug
And the secret of grass and of the trees
And if you can tell the secret of a warm friends hand
Then we all would feel the secrets of the sea

Who can guess the secret of the sea?
Who can guess the secret of the sea?
If you can guess the secret of my love for you
We can both know the secret of the sea

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.
