Downtown
B.B.&Q BAND Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can always go
Downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and hurry
Seems to help, I know
Downtown
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose? The lights are much brighter there...
You can forget all your troubles; forget all your cares, and go
Downtown, things will be great when you're
Downtown, you'll find a place for sure
Downtown, everything's waiting for you
Downtown, downtown
Don't hang around, and let your problems surround you,
There are movie shows
Downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close
Downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle Bossa Nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over,
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there,
You can forget all your troubles; forget all your cares, and go
Downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, you're gonna be all right now
Downtown, downtown, downtown
Downtown!
Downtown!
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you;
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along
So maybe I'll see you there,
We can forget all our troubles; forget all our cares, and go
Downtown, things will be great when you're
Downtown, don't wait a minute more
Downtown, everything's waiting for you
Downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown
The lyrics to B.B.&Q BAND's song Downtown is an uplifting invitation to forget about one's problems and head to the city center where everything seems brighter and more exciting. The singer acknowledges that life can get lonely and worries can be overwhelming, and he offers a solution - take a trip to downtown. The suggestion is to listen to the music of the traffic, to take in the colorful neon lights, and to lose oneself in the bustling energy of the city. The song is a celebration of the joys of city life, where there is always something to do or someone to meet, and where the lights are much brighter than they are anywhere else.
The song implores listeners to dance their worries away with the rhythm of a gentle Bossa Nova and to explore the many places that never close. The lyrics also suggest that going Downtown might lead to finding someone kind and understanding to help one along the way. The song ends with a suggestion of a potential meeting, with the expectation that everything will be great, and everything will be waiting.
Interestingly enough, B.B.&Q BAND is an acronym of the name of the three instrumental players of the band: The Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens Band. "Downtown" was originally recorded in 1982 by Petula Clark but was later covered by many artists like Dolly Parton, Neil Young, and The B-52's. The song was written by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent, and it became a huge hit in 1965. "Downtown" was one of the first pop songs to use a synthesizer, and it was also one of the first pop songs to be shot in color for a promotional video. Additionally, it reached the top of the charts in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada, and it was covered by over 30 artists in various languages. Finally, in some versions of the song, the line "where all the lights are bright" is sometimes sung as "where all the lights are light."
Chords: The song is in the key of C major, with a chord progression of C, Am, F, G7 throughout the song. The chorus chords are F, G, C.
