TIN PAN ALLEY | Johnny Punish (featuring Catarina Noir) Jazz Noir

Описание: Welcome to Tin Pan Alley
Where broken records spin
Tin Pan Alley
Ohhhh Oh Oh Oh Oh

We were a melody once, a diamond on the street
Bright lights and promises, every chord so sweet
But time pulled the curtain, and the echoes turned to rust
Now the song we wrote together is buried in the dust

I walk down these alleys where the music used to play
Every note’s a memory that slowly fades away

Welcome to Tin Pan Alley, where broken records spin
Every love song’s a shadow of what could have been
Voices haunt the silence, your ghost still calls my name
Tin Pan Alley’s where I wander through the ruins of our flame

Tin Pan Alley
Tin Pan Alley
Ohhhh Oh Oh Oh Oh

We burned like an anthem, loud enough to shake the sky
But verses turned to whispers, harmony ran dry
Now I strum the emptiness, searching for a tune
That once lit the midnight like a silver crescent moon

The pianos sit abandoned, strings torn apart
But I still hear your rhythm beating in my heart

Welcome to Tin Pan Alley, where broken records spin
Every love song’s a shadow of what it could have been
Your voice still haunts the silence, your ghost still calls my name
Tin Pan Alley’s where I wander through the ruins of our flame

Tin Pan Alley
Tin Pan Alley
Ohhhh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Yeah, the stage is empty, but I still take my bow
The spotlight’s just a memory, nothing can save us now
Love was our music, but the band has gone away
Tin Pan Alley’s where the echoes play

Tin Pan Alley, the jukebox out of time
Every shattered chorus once used to be mine
The song is over, but the ache still remains
Tin Pan Alley’s a graveyard of love, love and pain

Tin Pan Alley
Tin Pan Alley
Ohhhh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Tin Pan Alley
Tin Pan Alley
Ohhhh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Where the music fades to black

HISTORY OF TIN PAN ALLEY
Tin Pan Alley was a collection of music publishers and songwriters in New York City that dominated the popular music of the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Originally, it referred to a specific location on West 28th Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in the Flower District of Manhattan, as commemorated by a plaque on 28th Street between Broadway and Sixth. Several buildings on Tin Pan Alley are protected as New York City designated landmarks, and the section of 28th Street from Fifth to Sixth Avenue is also officially co-named Tin Pan Alley.

The start of Tin Pan Alley is usually dated to about 1885, when a number of music publishers set up shop in the same district of Manhattan. The end of Tin Pan Alley is less clear cut. Some date it to the start of the Great Depression in the 1930s when the phonograph, radio, and motion pictures supplanted sheet music as the driving force of American popular music, while others consider Tin Pan Alley to have continued into the 1950s when earlier styles of music were upstaged by the rise of Rock and roll, which was centered on the Brill Building. Brill Building songwriter Neil Sedaka described his employer as being a natural outgrowth of Tin Pan Alley, in that the older songwriters were still employed in Tin Pan Alley firms while younger songwriters such as Sedaka found work at the Brill Building
