Blues Traveler ~ Support Your Local Emperor


Music: bobby sheehan & chan kinchla Lyrics: john popper Support your local emperor Pay him tribute every time Let it be known he holds your fate From his fingertips shall flow the wine Tell him when he speaks the air is sweet Wherever he walks rosebeds be laid So that he may always feel secure In the vast empire that he's made But could you tell me what he's ever done for you? I'm not the one that needed an army I'm not the one that needed respect I'm not the one that hopes they'll remember I'm not the one they'll likely forget It seems one's going to walk Where he's willing to walk And with the ears of a bat And the eyes of a hawk You can see in the end It's just a little bit of talk But a rodent's always looking For some cat he can stalk To meow for him, to meow for him... Remember once when you were young It really was not all that long ago You reached out your hand and it was met If you let your heart will tell you so So bow your head don't meet his eyes When royalty speaks you then reply Someday he may find his throne is cold Someday he may chance to wonder why But could you tell me what he's ever done for you? I'm not the one that needed an army I'm not the one that needed respect I'm not the one that hopes they'll remember I'm not the one they'll likely forget It seems one's going to walk Where he's willing to walk And with the ears of a bat And the eyes of a hawk You can see in the end It's just a little bit of talk But a rodent's always looking For some cat he can stalk To meow for him, to meow for him... Support your local emperor Pay him tribute every time Let it be known he holds your fate From his fingertips shall flow the wine Tell him when he speaks the air is sweet Wherever he walks rosebeds be laid Someday he may find his throne is cold In the vast empire that he's made That he's made... more free lyrics

Lyrics: john popper

Support your local emperor
Pay him tribute every time
Let it be known he holds your fate
From his fingertips shall flow the wine
Tell him when he speaks the air is sweet
Wherever he walks rosebeds be laid
So that he may always feel secure
In the vast empire that he's made

But could you tell me what he's ever done for you?
I'm not the one that needed an army
I'm not the one that needed respect
I'm not the one that hopes they'll remember
I'm not the one they'll likely forget
It seems one's going to walk
Where he's willing to walk
And with the ears of a bat
And the eyes of a hawk
You can see in the end
It's just a little bit of talk
But a rodent's always looking
For some cat he can stalk
To meow for him, to meow for him...

Remember once when you were young
It really was not all that long ago
You reached out your hand and it was met
If you let your heart will tell you so
So bow your head don't meet his eyes
When royalty speaks you then reply
Someday he may find his throne is cold
Someday he may chance to wonder why

But could you tell me what he's ever done for you?
I'm not the one that needed an army
I'm not the one that needed respect
I'm not the one that hopes they'll remember
I'm not the one they'll likely forget
It seems one's going to walk
Where he's willing to walk
And with the ears of a bat
And the eyes of a hawk
You can see in the end
It's just a little bit of talk
But a rodent's always looking
For some cat he can stalk
To meow for him, to meow for him...

Support your local emperor
Pay him tribute every time
Let it be known he holds your fate
From his fingertips shall flow the wine
Tell him when he speaks the air is sweet
Wherever he walks rosebeds be laid
Someday he may find his throne is cold
In the vast empire that he's made
That he's made...

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.
