The Tragically Hip ~ The Bastard


If you ask me how I knew, I saw you. I had a bird's-eye view of a bird's-eye view when I saw you. I saw you not as you think, simply just as you. I saw you. And all of this augers well. even though it's presaging pell-mell. All of it augers well, the bastard of it being, having to choose. Then you turned all Billy Sunday, shoutin' "Philadelphia for Christ and Christ for Philadelphia," as the sun groomed the plane with crepuscular rays. When I saw you. And all of this augers well. Even so it's presaging pell-mell. All of it augers well, the bastard being, having to choose between a flickering fuse and power beyond what you use. Never mind us purple Italians, never mind that pool in the mountains. Victory came and went on winged elephants. I saw you. And all of this augers well even though, even so it's presaging pell-mell. All of it augers well this is the bastard the bastard of it being: having to choose more free lyrics

If you ask me how I knew, I saw you.
I had a bird's-eye view of a bird's-eye
view when I saw you.
I saw you not as you think,
simply just as you. I saw you.
And all of this augers well.
even though it's presaging pell-mell.
All of it augers well,
the bastard of it being, having to choose.

Then you turned all Billy Sunday, shoutin'
"Philadelphia for Christ and Christ for
Philadelphia,"
as the sun groomed the plane with crepuscular
rays. When I saw you.
And all of this augers well.
Even so it's presaging pell-mell.
All of it augers well,
the bastard being, having to choose
between a flickering fuse and power
beyond what you use.
Never mind us purple Italians,
never mind that pool in the mountains.
Victory came and went
on winged elephants. I saw you.
And all of this augers well
even though, even so it's
presaging pell-mell.
All of it augers well
this is the bastard
the bastard of it being: having to choose

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.
