The Surging Waves( 沧浪之音) are an experimental rock band based in Suzhou, China.

The Surging Waves sound is an experimental soup with a rock an roll stock, a spoonful or three of funk with a twist of jazz and even a sprinkle of folk added in to sweeten the taste. Surging Waves according to local writer Misha Kahlin "Rock you--responsibly with psychedelic tunes that drip like molasses into your brain and flow out of your mouth as rolling billows of meaty tongue.”
Money is love
Don't say otherwise, say all the wise
Money is love, my baby told me, and now I see
Money is love And Charity Believe Me!
And if money ain’t love
Then tell me why the penniless are the least loved?
And if money ain’t love
Would you still love me if I was a beggar on the street?
Money is love, and happiness
Spend nothing more, save nothing less
Pay off your loan, time to invest…Happiness!
Money is love
Don't say otherwise, say all the wise
Money is love, the bible told me
And now I see
Money is freedom, and security
Believe me, you know its true
And if money ain’t love
Why you keep searching, for a heart of gold?
And if money isn’t love
Turn out your pockets, and give me every penny you got!
Money breeds hope, and prosperity
Though some of the best things in life are free
Don’t tell me love is not currency
