Bob Mould ~ First Drag Of The Day


Don't make me do it, don't make me sell the things i love There's too much happening in this world Don't choose the other side right away It's been left alone for a while If i can get to the words before that first smoke Everything seems to come out differently Leaving a large hole in my hip I've never tried to quit Here i go with the first drag of the day Sometimes it makes me fall backwards on back into bed Don't stop me, don't correct me Please don't interfere with me I'm trying to write as fast as i can Yesterday wasn't so bad I thought it a little worse than it was I don't know why i tried to sabotage my day I wanted everything my own way I wanted it all my own way, so don't apologize I learn to devise these ways of explaining away Happenstance, you don't let me take a stand And it sits inside on the great white picket fence deep inside Someday that fence is going to fall in your yard And i hope you didn't plant anything too precious too close to the boundary It's starting to sound like it's time to sign off But for once, i feel like something might have happened Maybe i can't show this to you Maybe i can't show you everything Some things have to be precious and pure Some things have to stay inside of me Or else i've given everything away I wanted it all this way I learn to devise these ways of explaining away So don't blame me, i won't blame you It's just the first drag of the day more free lyrics

Don't make me do it, don't make me sell the things i love
There's too much happening in this world
Don't choose the other side right away
It's been left alone for a while

If i can get to the words before that first smoke
Everything seems to come out differently

Leaving a large hole in my hip
I've never tried to quit
Here i go with the first drag of the day
Sometimes it makes me fall backwards on back into bed

Don't stop me, don't correct me
Please don't interfere with me
I'm trying to write as fast as i can
Yesterday wasn't so bad
I thought it a little worse than it was
I don't know why i tried to sabotage my day
I wanted everything my own way

I wanted it all my own way, so don't apologize
I learn to devise these ways of explaining away

Happenstance, you don't let me take a stand
And it sits inside on the great white picket fence deep inside
Someday that fence is going to fall in your yard
And i hope you didn't plant anything too precious too close to the boundary

It's starting to sound like it's time to sign off
But for once, i feel like something might have happened

Maybe i can't show this to you
Maybe i can't show you everything
Some things have to be precious and pure
Some things have to stay inside of me

Or else i've given everything away
I wanted it all this way
I learn to devise these ways of explaining away

So don't blame me, i won't blame you
It's just the first drag of the day

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.
