Bruce Springsteen ~ The Promise Ii


Johnny works in a factory and billy works downtown Terry works in a rock 'n' roll band looking for that million-dollar sound Me i got a little job down in darlington but some nights i don't go Some nights i go to the drive-in and some night i stay home You see i followed that dream just like those guys do way up on the screen With a built-up challenger down route 9 Through the dead ends and all the bad scenes And when the promise was broken i cashed in a few of my old dreams You see i built that challenger by myself But i needed money and so i sold it And i lived a secret i should have kept to myself But i got drunk one night and i told it All my life i fought that fight The one that i can't ever win And everyday it just gets harder to live The dreams i'm believing in Thunder road Oh baby you were so right Thunder road There's something dying on the highway tonight Well now my daddy taught me how to walk quiet And how to make my peace with the past And i learned real good to tighten up inside And i don't say nothin' unless i'm asked When the promise is broken you go on livin' But it takes something from down in your soul Like when the truth is spoken And it don't make no difference Something in your heart turns cold You see i followed that dream, me and some guys Through the dead ends and all the two-bit bars When the promise was broken I was drunk and far away from home Sleeping with a stranger in the back seat of a borrowed car Thunder road And when it washes away with the rain Thunder road You learn to walk among the remains Thunder road I remember when me and terry we'd always say Thunder road We were gonna take it all And throw it all Away more free lyrics

Johnny works in a factory and billy works downtown
Terry works in a rock 'n' roll band looking for that million-dollar sound
Me i got a little job down in darlington but some nights i don't go
Some nights i go to the drive-in and some night i stay home

You see i followed that dream just like those guys do way up on the screen
With a built-up challenger down route 9
Through the dead ends and all the bad scenes
And when the promise was broken i cashed in a few of my old dreams

You see i built that challenger by myself
But i needed money and so i sold it
And i lived a secret i should have kept to myself
But i got drunk one night and i told it
All my life i fought that fight
The one that i can't ever win
And everyday it just gets harder to live
The dreams i'm believing in
Thunder road
Oh baby you were so right
Thunder road
There's something dying on the highway tonight

Well now my daddy taught me how to walk quiet
And how to make my peace with the past
And i learned real good to tighten up inside
And i don't say nothin' unless i'm asked

When the promise is broken you go on livin'
But it takes something from down in your soul
Like when the truth is spoken
And it don't make no difference
Something in your heart turns cold

You see i followed that dream, me and some guys
Through the dead ends and all the two-bit bars
When the promise was broken
I was drunk and far away from home
Sleeping with a stranger in the back seat of a borrowed car
Thunder road
And when it washes away with the rain
Thunder road
You learn to walk among the remains
Thunder road
I remember when me and terry we'd always say
Thunder road
We were gonna take it all
And throw it all
Away

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.
