Time Goes On

"Time Goes On" c.2009 K.Murray

Time goes on they say,
but they're all wrong, its just a question of perspective
like this moment of conjective , if you
take this song, right here.
You know that it won't last long, if no one takes a solo
in a minute its all over so

fly
on the back of every passing second
snatch the moment and check yourself
and if your still breathing,

well are you
wide awake
focus some attention on your heartbeat
and if it grows steady and stronger
gather your senses together and focus
make your time last longer

so let us
stretch some time
maybe together we can cross that line
tween the second and the hour
let the moment spring to flower
but take your time cause you know
it feels just fine in this moment of reflection
give the present some direction and

fly
on the back of every passing second
snatch the moment and check yourself
and if your still breathing
well are you wide awake
focus some attention on your heartbeat
and if it grows steady and stronger
gather your senses together and focus
make your time last longer

time goes on they say
but they're all wrong
its just a question of perspective like this moment of conjective
if you took this song right here
it didn't last long

fly
on the back of passing seconds

check yourself

well are you wide awake

make your time last longer .....

 

 

This song is about biological clock maintenance and a primer for aspiring improvisers.

The basic keyboard part, guide drums and guitar were recorded at the Forge and this was used as a guide for Brian and Mario and me at Sound Cafe, with Dave Grey behind the desk. I emailed the result to John in NZ and he sent his part back the next day. The vocal was a 1st take same night as "Shadows" after a gig. Phil Bancroft added the final part at his home studio near Embra and emailed it back to me late october 09
