about

This was a tough one to get out. I've basically been flying solo with two kids for two weeks as Julie has been finishing up her school's theatre production. Finding any time to work on my song about time has been one hell of an undertaking. The lyrics are all over the place, as always, I hate them. There's some wacky images because I was in such a time crunch I just got weird with it because I didn't know what else to do. Voice is cooked too. Started working with a new band yesterday and singing "We Are the Champions" about a bazillion times has me picking up bits of vocal cord off my microphone. Also, this ends my short love affair with DADGAD tuning. We'll get back together sometime again, I'm sure, but that's enough of that for now.

I don't know how this would relate to a film, but I did try to make the lyrics evocative, at least.

lyrics

Time
Never seem to find the time
Always seem to find myself without
Palpitating glory, where salvation lies
I don’t mind
Can’t say that I’m surprised

Time
Feed each hungry minute
A mangled crowd of rapid days
Time wearing crimson, amaranthine lies
I don’t mind
Can’t say that I’m surprised

Can’t believe what I’m seeing
The gliding days and nights
Through a train window fleeting
Is a blurred harlequin night
Can’t say that I’m surprised
No I don’t mind

Time
Wavers on a blooded edge
Clambers up a barren ridge
Gentle gods’ disaster, the coliseum cries
I don’t mind
Can’t say I’m surprised

Can’t resist the coming tide
The ever crashing wave
The theft of all our fledgling lives
And marching to our grave
I’ve seen it all, upon the wall
No matter what they say
I don’t mind
Can’t say that I’m surprised
