Band, The ~ Hold Back The Dawn


The sun was going down Over echo park Wet raven hair Glowing in the dark And that's when the fever would rise And lord what a look in her eyes From the moment that she blows out the light We'd be lost in the forever night Chorus: Hold back the dawn Hold back the dawn Won't you raise up your hand And hold back the dawn I dreamt if i could lay you upon this Bed of straw We may break the rules but we don't Break the law Come across but the river's too wide Come across but the river's too high Over by the fountain where we meet I will lay silver roses at your feet Chorus Now i have seen a painting Old and hanging in a frame And that painting was of you Now how can you explain From another place in time Done many years ago Why i'm haunted by this vision Guess we'll never know Then she turned and whispered in my ear Can you feel my heart beat Chorus Won't you raise Won't you raise up Won't you raise up your hand And hold back the dawn Chorus more free lyrics

The sun was going down
Over echo park
Wet raven hair
Glowing in the dark
And that's when the fever would rise
And lord what a look in her eyes
From the moment that she blows out the light
We'd be lost in the forever night

Chorus:
Hold back the dawn
Hold back the dawn
Won't you raise up your hand
And hold back the dawn

I dreamt if i could lay you upon this
Bed of straw
We may break the rules but we don't
Break the law
Come across but the river's too wide
Come across but the river's too high
Over by the fountain where we meet
I will lay silver roses at your feet

Chorus

Now i have seen a painting
Old and hanging in a frame
And that painting was of you
Now how can you explain
From another place in time
Done many years ago
Why i'm haunted by this vision
Guess we'll never know
Then she turned and whispered in my ear
Can you feel my heart beat

Chorus

Won't you raise
Won't you raise up
Won't you raise up your hand
And hold back the dawn

Chorus

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.
