Billie Holiday ~ (i'm Affraid) The Masquerade Is Over


Herb magidson / allie wrubel My blue horizon is turning gray And my dreams are drifting away Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine I'm affraid the masquerade is over And so is love, and so is love Your love and so is love I guess i'll have to play pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise And learn to laugh like pagliacci with tears in my eyes You look the same You're a lot the same But my heart says "no, no, you're not the same" I'm affraid the masquerade is over And so is love, and so is love Your words don't mean what they used to me They were once inspired, now they're just routine I'm affraid the masquerade is over more free lyrics

Herb magidson / allie wrubel

My blue horizon is turning gray
And my dreams are drifting away
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine

I'm affraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Your love and so is love
I guess i'll have to play pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like pagliacci with tears in my eyes
You look the same
You're a lot the same
But my heart says "no, no, you're not the same"

I'm affraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Your words don't mean what they used to me
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm affraid the masquerade is over

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.
