Liner Notes

Found another snippet of a lyric and embellished a bit, then another quick take...

Lyrics

This is the now time
The beginning has passed
This is the now time
The future lies ahead
This is the now time
We held onto the path
Just for a moment
We held onto the path
Then we felt it fall away,
The gaps between the stepping stones
Where our memories breathe
It will not come again
This is the now time
The beginning has passed

The present stretches out before us
Uncertain and unseen
Leaving only choices to be made
This is the now, the present and the future
This is the now time, let’s make it last

I really like the imagery of the phrases and your delivery. When it ended, i felt like i wanted it to keep going! Nice job Gordon.

Esp. like your lovely, light vocal on this. And love how "the now time" comes to feel familiar and have more meaning for me as it's repeated. There's a kind of graceful confidence in your writing and performance. I think it's just the right length. And love the image of the "gaps between the stepping stones." And finally, thanks for your kind comment on my song "real feel".

You have a nice way with melody. This is sweet and simple, but not simplistic. Lovely to listen to.

Dude!!! 2 in like 15 mins!! These lyrics are easier to follow (not that I have an issue with whimsy and ambiguity) but this is just, very different. Its an interesting contrast between how you sing this and how the lyrics feel on their own. It creates an effect like in Eva Cassidy's version of "Over the Rainbow." I really like this 👏

These lyrics are cool: We held onto the path
Then we felt it fall away,
The gaps between the stepping stones
Where our memories breathe

A very likable tune, for some reason i can imagine this being a theme tune to a tv program, i can envision the song playing while the credits are going up on screen.
