Boney M. ~ Going Back West


I was born and raised in the ghetto Talk with me and you'll know I wasn't satisfied, with living on the side I started looking around, for a possibility Listen to my story, of what became of me I met a businessman Who said he had some friends back east So why don't you come along Well we can help you at least We'll make you into a big star By playing your guitar But the joke was on me They left me flat to see Going back west Yes i know i'll make out alright Going back west Where my music's playing all night Going back west (going back west) I think i'll do alright Going back west Yes i know i'll make out alright Going back west Where my music's playing all night Going back west (going back west) I think i'll do alright Struggling for recognition, identity and respect I got a lot of promises They told me not to fret So we will stand by you If the going gets rough But when i started thinking They didn't even bluff 'bout a year has come and gone And left me standing here Thinking how it could have been For still i ain't nowhere They surely took me for a ride Trampled on my pride But i hold my head up high Got no more tears to cry Going back west Yes i know i'll make out alright Going back west Where my music's playing all night Going back west (going back west) I think i'll do alright Going back west Yes i know i'll make out alright Going back west Where my music's playing all night Going back west (going back west) I think i'll do alright Going back west Yes i know i'll make out alright Going back west Where my music's playing all night more free lyrics

I was born and raised in the ghetto
Talk with me and you'll know
I wasn't satisfied, with living on the side
I started looking around, for a possibility
Listen to my story, of what became of me

I met a businessman
Who said he had some friends back east
So why don't you come along
Well we can help you at least
We'll make you into a big star
By playing your guitar
But the joke was on me
They left me flat to see

Going back west
Yes i know i'll make out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all night
Going back west (going back west)
I think i'll do alright

Going back west
Yes i know i'll make out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all night
Going back west (going back west)
I think i'll do alright

Struggling for recognition, identity and respect
I got a lot of promises
They told me not to fret
So we will stand by you
If the going gets rough
But when i started thinking
They didn't even bluff

'bout a year has come and gone
And left me standing here
Thinking how it could have been
For still i ain't nowhere
They surely took me for a ride
Trampled on my pride
But i hold my head up high
Got no more tears to cry

Going back west
Yes i know i'll make out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all night
Going back west (going back west)
I think i'll do alright

Going back west
Yes i know i'll make out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all night
Going back west (going back west)
I think i'll do alright

Going back west
Yes i know i'll make out alright
Going back west
Where my music's playing all night

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.
