Diana Ross and the Supremes ~ I'm Livin' in Shame


Mom was cookin' bread She wore a dirty, raggedy scarf around her head, Always had her stockings low, Rolled to her feet, she just didn't know She wore a sloppy dress Oh, no matter how she tried, she always looked a mess Out of the pot she ate, Never used a fork or a dinner plate I was always so afraid for my uptown friends to see her, Afraid one day when I was grown, that I would be her In a college town Away from home, a new identity I found, Said I was born elite With maids and servants at my feet I must have been insane I lied and said Mama died on a weekend trip to Spain She never got out of the house, Never even boarded a train Married a guy, was livin' high, I didn't want him to know her She had a grandson two years old that I never even showed her I'm livin' in shame Mama, I miss you I know you're not to blame Mama, I miss you BREAK Came a telegram Mama passed away while making homemade jam Before she died, She cried to see me by her side She always did her best Oh, cooked and cleaned and always in the same old dress, Workin' hard down on her knees, Always tryin' to please Mama, Mama, Mama, can you hear me? Mama, Mama, Mama, can you hear me? I'm livin' in shame Mama, I miss you I know you've done your best Mama, I miss you Won't you forgive me, Mom, For all the wrong I've done? I know you've done your best I know you've done the very best you could But I never understood Workin' hard down on your knees, Mama, you were always, always tryin' to please (fade out) more free lyrics

Mom was cookin' bread
She wore a dirty, raggedy scarf around her head,
Always had her stockings low,
Rolled to her feet, she just didn't know

She wore a sloppy dress
Oh, no matter how she tried, she always looked a mess
Out of the pot she ate,
Never used a fork or a dinner plate

I was always so afraid for my uptown friends to see her,
Afraid one day when I was grown, that I would be her

In a college town
Away from home, a new identity I found,
Said I was born elite
With maids and servants at my feet

I must have been insane
I lied and said Mama died on a weekend trip to Spain
She never got out of the house,
Never even boarded a train

Married a guy, was livin' high, I didn't want him to know her
She had a grandson two years old that I never even showed her

I'm livin' in shame
Mama, I miss you
I know you're not to blame
Mama, I miss you

BREAK

Came a telegram
Mama passed away while making homemade jam
Before she died,
She cried to see me by her side

She always did her best
Oh, cooked and cleaned and always in the same old dress,
Workin' hard down on her knees,
Always tryin' to please

Mama, Mama, Mama, can you hear me?
Mama, Mama, Mama, can you hear me?

I'm livin' in shame
Mama, I miss you
I know you've done your best
Mama, I miss you

Won't you forgive me, Mom,
For all the wrong I've done?
I know you've done your best
I know you've done the very best you could
But I never understood
Workin' hard down on your knees,
Mama, you were always, always tryin' to please

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.
