about

One of the first tracks recorded proper for this album. As with "We" I was lucky to find almost perfectly fitting string samples, adding the bass guitar only right before final mixing and mastering. The lyrics again reflect on my mother's passing, while focusing on togetherness and family and 'the good old days'.

lyrics

Time stops
And just when you thought that you made it
Death drills a knife in your back
And it feels so unreal because the pain that you feel
Is the only thing that keeps you alive
And the memories you have of some happier days
Are fading ever so fast
Time will heal or so they say
But when all healing is done and the bed has gone cold
Who cares about time and cure anyway

There’s no denying it
It’s been a blast
We laughed and we sang all those happy songs
But like the music and happiness and all smiling faces
We know the good doesn’t last
Now the time has come and stood still
In the midst of the place we so proudly call home
Still filled with the warmth of all family comforts
Now we are
Alone

We’ve been betrayed
By time
We really thought we would last the course
All immortals and quite rightly so
Forever together through the heights and the low
Nothing and no one would keep us apart
Ignoring the fact that we are not masters
Of the mechanics of the heart
We’ve betrayed ourselves
We’ve paid the price
This time
Will come to pass
And in the seconds, minutes, hours
In all days and years to come
We will not look back in anger
Not fill our hearts with sadness
But fondly remember
The time before
Time stopped
