Phil Collins ~ Lorenzo


Once upon a time I made a lion roar - he was sleeping in the sunbeams on the old zoo floor. I had gone to see the park where my papa used to play, it's called called Villa Borghese and it's on the way to East Africa. Down on Grand Comoro Island, where I grew past four, I could swim and fish and snorkel on the ocean floor, and the wind laughed, and the wind laughed through the trees as if to say, here's a child who'll want the world to go his way in East Africa, in East Africa. Suddenly for me the world turned upside down - far from my friends the lions and the dolphins came this awful sound. Dark shadows, sounds of thunder raging over me, came this monster called 'A-dre-no-leu-ko-dys-tro-phy' Where's my East Africa? Well they said, they said, they said (the ones who know it all) they said from now on for you there will be no more standing tall, so I took my parents' hands, I lifted my head to say I'll just have to be a hero, there's no other way! Back to East Africa Back to East Africa Back to East Africa Come with me I'm going back, going back to East Africa. more free lyrics

Once upon a time I made a lion roar -
he was sleeping in the sunbeams on the old zoo floor.
I had gone to see the park where my papa used to play,
it's called called Villa Borghese and it's on the way
to East Africa.

Down on Grand Comoro Island, where I grew past four,
I could swim and fish and snorkel on the ocean floor,
and the wind laughed, and the wind laughed through the trees as if to say,
here's a child who'll want the world to go his way
in East Africa, in East Africa.

Suddenly for me the world turned upside down -
far from my friends the lions and the dolphins came this awful sound.

Dark shadows, sounds of thunder raging over me,
came this monster called 'A-dre-no-leu-ko-dys-tro-phy'
Where's my East Africa?

Well they said, they said, they said (the ones who know it all)
they said from now on for you there will be no more standing tall,
so I took my parents' hands, I lifted my head to say
I'll just have to be a hero, there's no other way!
Back to East Africa
Back to East Africa
Back to East Africa
Come with me I'm going back, going back to East Africa.

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.
