B.B. King ~ Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out


I once lived the life of a millionaire Spending my money i didn't care Always taking my friends out for a good time Buying champagne, gin and wine But just as soon as my dough got low I couldn't find a friend, no place i go If i ever get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna squeeze it, and squeeze it Till the eagle grins Nobody knows you when you're down and out In your pocket, not one penny And your friends, you haven't any And as soon as you get on your feet again Everybody is your long lost friend It's mighty strange, without a doubt, but Nobody wants you when you're down and out You know folks, i once had a mansion Way up on the side of a hill I'd give champagne and caviar parties Just for fun and get a thrill But you know things they just can't stay like that forever And now i can't muscle up enough money To buy a shot of gin But you know, if i ever get my hands on a dollar again I'm gonna squeeze it, and squeeze it till the eagle grins It's mighty strange, without a doubt Nobody wants you Nobody needs you Nobody wants you when you're down and out more free lyrics

I once lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money i didn't care
Always taking my friends out for a good time
Buying champagne, gin and wine
But just as soon as my dough got low
I couldn't find a friend, no place i go
If i ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna squeeze it, and squeeze it
Till the eagle grins

Nobody knows you when you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
And your friends, you haven't any
And as soon as you get on your feet again
Everybody is your long lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt, but
Nobody wants you when you're down and out

You know folks, i once had a mansion
Way up on the side of a hill
I'd give champagne and caviar parties
Just for fun and get a thrill
But you know things they just can't stay like that forever
And now i can't muscle up enough money
To buy a shot of gin

But you know, if i ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna squeeze it, and squeeze it till the eagle grins
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you
Nobody needs you
Nobody wants you when you're down and out

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.
