Once i had a sweetheart
She meant the world to me
I met her on the road one night when we were in tennessee

I met her in a barroom after we'd done a show
We sat and talked about the louvins 'til the 'tender called time to go

She wrote her address on a napkin
I wrote mine on my cd
She said, "it was sure nice talking to you"
I said, "you'll be hearing from me"

I wrote her a letter the next day
She wrote one in return
The letters we wrote each other could have made the mailbox burn

Yo-de-lay-he-he-hoo

I wrote her a long letter and told her that i loved her so
And if she'd come to new york to the altar we would go

I sent it with a dozen roses and i waited for her reply
Til the day the letter came my way that made me want to die

It said, "i know that you love new york
So wild and fancy free
And i love you, dear,
But i also love my home in tennessee

Now i know that you'd be no more happy here than in the city i would be
So though i love you dear
I'm gonna stay right here
Home in tennessee"

Yo-de-lay-he-he-hoo

And now i know i will never wed
But a bachelor i'll always be
'cause my heart belongs to a pretty girl down in tennessee

Yo-de-lay-he-he-hoo

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.
