Still, the sentiment stands.
Maybe? I could have sworn that we have passed each other frequently. Anyway, you look good! Well, from what I remember, I mean. Not that you didn’t then, though! If that was even you… which… man, I really thought I knew you from somewhere.
Well now that we’re no longer strangers, I’ve got something to give you. It’s part of what’s been taking up so much of my time, lately. These are the demos I’ve done so far for this year’s RPM challenge.
I’ve been thinking a lot about mortality lately. I feel such a life within myself, handed down by generations of ancestors; yet in order to grow, I’ve been taught to look towards the future. How can I depend on something that hasn’t even existed yet, and why should I just ignore thousands of years of cultural anthropology?
I prefer to think of the past as receding before me, with the future sneaking up from behind.
So in these songs, there are several references; to time, the ancient, the future, eternity, and where the thread of my life is woven among those strands.
