Bob Dylan ~ Who Killed Davey Moore?


Who killed davey moore, Why an' what's the reason for? "not i," says the referee, "don't point your finger at me. I could've stopped it in the eighth An' maybe kept him from his fate, But the crowd would've booed, i'm sure, At not gettin' their money's worth. It's too bad he had to go, But there was a pressure on me too, you know. It wasn't me that made him fall. No, you can't blame me at all." Who killed davey moore, Why an' what's the reason for? "not us," says the angry crowd, Whose screams filled the arena loud. "it's too bad he died that night But we just like to see a fight. We didn't mean for him t' meet his death, We just meant to see some sweat, There ain't nothing wrong in that. It wasn't us that made him fall. No, you can't blame us at all." Who killed davey moore, Why an' what's the reason for? "not me," says his manager, Puffing on a big cigar. "it's hard to say, it's hard to tell, I always thought that he was well. It's too bad for his wife an' kids he's dead, But if he was sick, he should've said. It wasn't me that made him fall. No, you can't blame me at all." Who killed davey moore, Why an' what's the reason for? "not me," says the gambling man, With his ticket stub still in his hand. "it wasn't me that knocked him down, My hands never touched him none. I didn't commit no ugly sin, Anyway, i put money on him to win. It wasn't me that made him fall. No, you can't blame me at all." Who killed davey moore, Why an' what's the reason for? "not me," says the boxing writer, Pounding print on his old typewriter, Sayin', "boxing ain't to blame, There's just as much danger in a football game." Sayin', "fist fighting is here to stay, It's just the old american way. It wasn't me that made him fall. No, you can't blame me at all." Who killed davey moore, Why an' what's the reason for? "not me," says the man whose fists Laid him low in a cloud of mist, Who came here from cuba's door Where boxing ain't allowed no more. "i hit him, yes, it's true, But that's what i am paid to do. Don't say 'murder,' don't say 'kill.' It was destiny, it was god's will." Who killed davey moore, Why an' what's the reason for? more free lyrics

Who killed davey moore,
Why an' what's the reason for?

"not i," says the referee,
"don't point your finger at me.
I could've stopped it in the eighth
An' maybe kept him from his fate,
But the crowd would've booed, i'm sure,
At not gettin' their money's worth.
It's too bad he had to go,
But there was a pressure on me too, you know.
It wasn't me that made him fall.
No, you can't blame me at all."

But we just like to see a fight.

We just meant to see some sweat,
There ain't nothing wrong in that.
It wasn't us that made him fall.
No, you can't blame us at all."

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.
