Augie March ~ The Good Gardener (On How He Fell)


Here sits a once good gardener, pale as a shadow of a doubt, Once a happy dweller of a garden good, once a sleepy sinner, once cast out To the sea where the crossy-eyed maids murmur low, "do you see, do you see where the doubts cross his shadow?" Drowned and amoral, I pollinate the coral and reek of the deep where I've tended the water weed - I was once your good gardener, sing to bring on Spring, I know where your good grass grows, I know what your boyfriend knows, I was your good gardener. I saw twilight car waxers, corpulent dog walkers, clean canny couples on the sunset strip, From a tower forty miles to the east of Augusta saw a plague on the Indian a'coming on a windship, You were in the garden when the wind swept up and took the foul words from your mouth Now you know what your sarcasm really really means It's the tearing with your teeth of the flesh from the bones of your brother - Kill the shrub to fertilise the flower, Did I hear you saying that the form doesn't matter? Well form into matter, the matter is forever, but only in a good garden Black rock bound in the Brighton bowl where the seas of desolation roll, Where you're borne and borne and borne in again to the pebble-feather shore of forgotten friends Think how you can't see the science without seeing first the self, But then nobody thinks of growing somebody else, And how the sun , hungry sun, holds the withered withered world, So why shouldn't I kiss the beautiful girl? When I was her good gardener. Sing of the Summer sham, O see them grow tall, see them in their rot, see them go to seed in the cemetery plot I was your good gardener Sing to bring on Spring O ice of Winter would crackle and splinter with my love in everything Ice of Winter would crackle and splinter with my love in everything I was your good gardener... The sea is stark and lovely, and it scares me to the point of rapture I was your good gardener, of some good stature The sea is stark and lovely, and it scares me to the point of rapture I was your good gardener, now I - can barely - look at ya. more free lyrics

Here sits a once good gardener, pale as a shadow of a doubt,
Once a happy dweller of a garden good, once a sleepy sinner,
once cast out
To the sea where the crossy-eyed maids murmur low, "do you see, do you see
where the doubts cross his shadow?"
Drowned and amoral, I pollinate the coral and reek of the deep
where I've tended the water weed -
I was once your good gardener, sing to bring on Spring,
I know where your good grass grows,
I know what your boyfriend knows,
I was your good gardener.

I saw twilight car waxers, corpulent dog walkers, clean canny couples on the sunset strip,
From a tower forty miles to the east of Augusta saw a plague on the Indian
a'coming on a windship,
You were in the garden when the wind swept up and took the foul words from your mouth
Now you know what your sarcasm really really means
It's the tearing with your teeth of the flesh from the bones of your brother -

Kill the shrub to fertilise the flower,
Did I hear you saying that the form doesn't matter?
Well form into matter, the matter is forever, but only in a good garden

Black rock bound in the Brighton bowl where the seas of desolation roll,
Where you're borne and borne and borne in again to the pebble-feather shore of forgotten friends
Think how you can't see the science without seeing first the self,
But then nobody thinks of growing somebody else,
And how the sun , hungry sun, holds the withered withered world,
So why shouldn't I kiss the beautiful girl?

When I was her good gardener.
Sing of the Summer sham,
O see them grow tall, see them in their rot, see them go to seed in the cemetery plot
I was your good gardener

Sing to bring on Spring
O ice of Winter would crackle and splinter with my love in everything
Ice of Winter would crackle and splinter with my love in everything
I was your good gardener...

The sea is stark and lovely, and it scares me to the point of rapture
I was your good gardener, of some good stature
The sea is stark and lovely, and it scares me to the point of rapture
I was your good gardener, now I - can barely - look at ya.

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.
