Song 51: In an instant

52 song project » Podcast Feed

Well, it’s officially Christmas Eve Day, and I know I am late. I have battled with this song for the past 40 hours. I have complained before about technology, so I will bite my tongue now. The good news? I think I won this battle. I may even have won the war. Listen.

Discussion

STEVE: This one started with tech battles, but I finally figured it out. By this afternoon I finally figured out how to connect my Digidesign 002 Rack with an evaluation copy of Reaper DAW. Yes, I know, first world problem.

But then, I had a lot of fun. While I am not necessarily going to miss the pressure of putting out a new song every week, I will miss the creative side and finally hearing a song as the finishing touches are put through. Apart from the songs that Chris and I have collaborated on, this one was my favourite to put together, though I am not sure why.

This observation begs the question: What shall 52 song project become in 2012?

On to the last one.

Lyrics

Wait, it’s only the moon on her face
It’s not like she’s going away
Take all of the time you can take

Her eyes are exploding stars
If you stare too long you will miss them
Fade to black but their gravity pulls you in

Times change, oh well

I kiss your lips
I sing your song
Over and over

It’s not too late
It’s not over

Wait, it’s far from the fears that you face
There are no more tears to erase
Take all of the time you can take

We’re here for only an instant
If you blink too long you will miss it
Afraid to break but gravity keeps me whole

Times change, oh well

I kiss your lips
I sing your song
Over and over

It’s not too late
It’s not over

Wait, take all of the time you will take
