30 years now… where’d
they go…
30 years… I don’t
know…
I sit & I wonder
sometimes, where they’ve gone…
Yes… I know that’s not how the song goes. Though at 31, I am starting to realize what
Mr. Seger was talking about in that classic song… Where did the time go? & Oh, wouldn’t
it be nice to relive those glory days.
I guess I’ve always been fascinated by time. Consequently, time has become something I
often incorporate into my writing…
“Time” by SIXSIDEDSOUNDS is a concept song I started writing
about five years ago… The song is third-person
narrative, where time itself is observed as a woman. In addition, the song intentionally blurs the
lines between, the words, phrases & images that represent time and those
that paint a portrait of the female form.
Beyond the songs background, “Time” even has 2 different versions, which
are played in two different time signatures.
Check out the links to both versions below…
Time
Her
hands move slowly,
her
movements are precise, & known
She’s
orchestrating,
conducts
the pace, controls the race
But you know that she can’t be
predicted
...Always about to come to pass
... she is such an evil mistress...
... such a precious gift...
... her innocence is her existence...
... will prove fatal in the end...
Sit
arms crossed waiting,
for
her finally to reveal herself
like
dawn appearing,
to
shed light on the dark of night
& you know that she can’t be predicted
...Always about to come to pass
... she is such an evil mistress...
... such a precious gift...
... her innocence is her existence...
... will prove fatal in the end...
