Bonnie Raitt ~ That Song About The Midway


i met you on a midaway at a fair last year And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear You were playing on the horses You were playing on the guitar strings You were playing like the devil wearing wings Wearing wings, you looked so grand, wearing wings Do you tie them to your shoulders just to sing Can you fly? i hear you can! can you fly? Just like an eagle doin' his hunting from the sky I followed through a sideshow to another town And i found you in a trailer on the camping grounds You were betting on some lover, shootin' out the dice And i thought i saw you cheating once or twice Once or twice, i heard ya did, once or twice Were you wondering was the gamble worth the price Now you've packed it in, i heard you did, packed it in Was it hard to fold a hand you knew you could win? Lately you've been hiding, it was somewhere in the news And i'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues The man calls out the numbers...he sometimes mentions mine But i feel like i've been working overtime Overtime, i've lost my fire, overtime And i envy you the valley that you've found 'cause i'm midway down the midway Slowin' down more free lyrics

i met you on a midaway at a fair last year
And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear
You were playing on the horses
You were playing on the guitar strings
You were playing like the devil wearing wings
Wearing wings, you looked so grand, wearing wings
Do you tie them to your shoulders just to sing
Can you fly? i hear you can! can you fly?
Just like an eagle doin' his hunting from the sky

I followed through a sideshow to another town
And i found you in a trailer on the camping grounds
You were betting on some lover, shootin' out the dice
And i thought i saw you cheating once or twice
Once or twice, i heard ya did, once or twice
Were you wondering was the gamble worth the price
Now you've packed it in, i heard you did, packed it in
Was it hard to fold a hand you knew you could win?

Lately you've been hiding, it was somewhere in the news
And i'm still at these races with my ticket stubs and my blues
The man calls out the numbers...he sometimes mentions mine
But i feel like i've been working overtime
Overtime, i've lost my fire, overtime
And i envy you the valley that you've found

'cause i'm midway down the midway
Slowin' down

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.
