about

This song was written pre-pandemic but did not get recorded for my' new album Live which is out today as well. I see this as a companion song to that album. While Live is mostly about celebrating life, this one is a celebration of death or a lamentation of life. We all are gonna die. As it's been said before, It is the one certainty we have in this life.

lyrics

I see the old times rolling
I see inside
I hear the numbers calling
I'm here for the ride

I can't see, nothing matters
I lost my guide
don't leave your bones on deck
my soul's a dirt shipwreck

but then I had to stay
the new times are boiling
and I am well on my way
the season's are changing

but we've found our way
we'll jump in that orange lake
don't take my hand
you're never gonna understand

I see the old times rolling
I see inside
I hear the numbers calling
I'm here for the ride

I can't see, nothing matters
I lost my guide
don't leave your bones on deck
your soul's a dirt shipwreck
