ABBA ~ What About Livingstone


Went to buy me a paper at the local news-stand And then I heard them laugh and say Look, they're gonna go flying way up to the moon now Hey, what's it good for anyway? So I said Fellas, like to ask you a thing if I may What about Livingstone? What about all those men? Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way Tell me, wasn't it worth the while Travelling up the Nile Putting themselves on test Didn't that help the rest? Wasn't it worth it then? What about Livingstone? And all of those fellas at the local news-stand Didn't know what to answer or what to say So I told them about him, that he was just like One of those spacemen in his way And if you laugh at them Then there's only a thing I can say What about Livingstone? What about all those men? Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way Tell me, wasn't it worth the while Travelling up the Nile Putting themselves on test Didn't that help the rest? Wasn't it worth it then? What about Livingstone? (Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) What about all those men? (Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way Tell me, wasn't it worth the while (Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) Travelling up the Nile (Didn't he do it?) Putting themselves on test Didn't that help the rest? (Didn't that help them? Well, didn't it?) Wasn't it worth it then? What about Livingstone? (Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)

Went to buy me a paper at the local news-stand
And then I heard them laugh and say
Look, they're gonna go flying way up to the moon now
Hey, what's it good for anyway?
So I said
Fellas, like to ask you a thing if I may

What about Livingstone?
What about all those men?
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
Tell me, wasn't it worth the while
Travelling up the Nile
Putting themselves on test
Didn't that help the rest?
Wasn't it worth it then?
What about Livingstone?

And all of those fellas at the local news-stand
Didn't know what to answer or what to say
So I told them about him, that he was just like
One of those spacemen in his way
And if you laugh at them
Then there's only a thing I can say

What about Livingstone?
What about all those men?
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
Tell me, wasn't it worth the while
Travelling up the Nile
Putting themselves on test
Didn't that help the rest?
Wasn't it worth it then?

What about Livingstone?
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
What about all those men?
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
Tell me, wasn't it worth the while
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
Travelling up the Nile
(Didn't he do it?)
Putting themselves on test
Didn't that help the rest?
(Didn't that help them? Well, didn't it?)
Wasn't it worth it then?
What about Livingstone?
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
What about all those men?
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)

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.
