Ani DiFranco ~ Here For Now


I bet you're wondering if you woke today just to learn why the caged bird sings I bet you're wondering if the goddesses are all crazy or just keeping it interesting situated slightly outside society at odds with its odd offerings I bet you're teetering on the edge of sobriety just to alleviate a few things like the fear that you're standing here because you want to be liked like you know you need your instrument but does your instrument need to be mic'd and you keep imagining that pretty soon you will just disappear and thinking that one thing is what saves you from your fear of being here here for now, you're here for now, you're here for now I bet you're looking for the little red 'X' next to the red arrow and the sign says 'you are here' I bet you're hoping that your heart will send up the white flag this time or some sign that the coast is clear and the moment when your heart jumps in all that's happening it's like the first time you felt that shock yes, your heart jumps in all that's happening and I was right behind the door when you knocked thinking maybe I'm just standing here because I want to be liked yes, I know I need my instrument but does my instrument need to me mic'd I keep imagining that pretty soon I will just disappear and thinking that one thing is what saves me from my fear of being here here for now, I'm here for now, I'm here for now here for now, I'm here for now, I'm here for now more free lyrics

I bet you're wondering if you woke today
just to learn why the caged bird sings
I bet you're wondering if the goddesses are all crazy
or just keeping it interesting
situated slightly outside society
at odds with its odd offerings
I bet you're teetering on the edge of sobriety
just to alleviate a few things

like the fear that you're standing here
because you want to be liked
like you know you need your instrument
but does your instrument need to be mic'd
and you keep imagining that pretty soon
you will just disappear
and thinking that one thing is what saves you from
your fear of being here
here for now, you're here for now, you're here for now

I bet you're looking for the little red 'X'
next to the red arrow and the sign says 'you are here'
I bet you're hoping that your heart will send up the white flag this time
or some sign that the coast is clear
and the moment when your heart jumps in all that's happening
it's like the first time you felt that shock
yes, your heart jumps in all that's happening
and I was right behind the door when you knocked

thinking maybe I'm just standing here
because I want to be liked
yes, I know I need my instrument
but does my instrument need to me mic'd
I keep imagining that pretty soon
I will just disappear
and thinking that one thing is what saves me from
my fear of being here
here for now, I'm here for now, I'm here for now
here for now, I'm here for now, I'm here for now

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.
