Song Choice & Lyrics


Ten More Years - The Library Suits

One year and it’s not quite as clear
Ten Year, and we’ve got no idea
But I know
I think we’ve heard it before
And I know that if it hurt last time
It’ll hurt this time

Call home in 1984
I still believe in the future
Even with lessons lost
Wake up in 1789
I still believe in the future
But I won’t put my trust in time

One week and it means less to me
It seems the thoughts went committed to my memory
I think we’ve heard it before
And I know that if it hurt last time
It’ll hurt this time

Call home in 1984
I still believe in the future
Even with lessons lost
Wake up in 1789
I still believe in the future
But I won’t put my trust in time

Ten Years from now
Will you remember me?
Or am I just a fragment of your history?
Ten years from now
Will I remember me?
And all the things that I believed in

Ten Years from now
Will you remember me?
Or am I just a fragment of your history?
Ten years from now
Will I remember me?
And all the things that I believed in

Call home in 1984
I still believe in the future
Even with lessons lost
Wake up in 1789
I still believe in the future
But I won’t put my trust in…
But I won’t put my trust in time

Why has there been an increase in the amount of festivals in the UK?



The amount of music festivals has increased in the UK because of the proliferation of technology enables people to illegally download artist’s music, which has also been driven by the lifestyle culture of consumerism - having the newest and best music. This has caused the revenue streams of the bands and the corporate body’s that support them such as the record labels that they’re signed, to drop. This has caused them to think of new ways to regain costs lost through illegal downloads. One of the ways thought up to do this was to start music festivals. To further maximise the revenue from these festivals, they have been diversified to segment the market into separate festivals to appeal to different audiences within the more mainstream identities. This will inevitably leave some niche audiences uncatered for leaving gaps for the smaller festivals such as the more upmarket and boutique festivals. All of this segments the market by the different genres of music and collects the people who like similar genres into groups by festivals, as well as helping to create the social groups that people can identify with.
