Billy Bragg ~ I Dreamed I Saw Phil Ochs Last Night


I dreamed i saw phil ochs last night Alive as you and me Says i to phil "you're ten years dead" "i never died" says he "i never died" says he The music business killed you phil They ignored the things you said And cast you out when fashions changed Says phil "but i ain't dead" Says phil "but i ain't dead" The fbi harassed you phil They smeared you with their lies Says he "but they could never kill What they could not compromise I never compromised" "though fashion's changed and critics sneered The songs that i have sung Are just as true tonight as then The struggle carries on The struggle carries on" With the song of freedom rings out loud From valleys and from hills Where people stand up for their rights Phil ochs is with us still Phil ochs inspires us still Words: billy bragg music: earl robinson more free lyrics

I dreamed i saw phil ochs last night
Alive as you and me
Says i to phil "you're ten years dead"
"i never died" says he
"i never died" says he

The music business killed you phil
They ignored the things you said
And cast you out when fashions changed
Says phil "but i ain't dead"
Says phil "but i ain't dead"

The fbi harassed you phil
They smeared you with their lies
Says he "but they could never kill
What they could not compromise
I never compromised"

"though fashion's changed and critics sneered
The songs that i have sung
Are just as true tonight as then
The struggle carries on
The struggle carries on"

With the song of freedom rings out loud
From valleys and from hills
Where people stand up for their rights
Phil ochs is with us still
Phil ochs inspires us still

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.
