“Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana” Groucho Marx
Time is free but it is priceless, you cant own it but you can certainly use it, you cant keep it but you can lose it and once you’ve lost it you can never get it back. I remember so many people growing up as child who used to hammer into me the meaning and the validity of time.
“Time is precious” they always use to say, “Don’t try and grow up too fast cause once time is gone its gone”.
But how can you ever tell a child not to want to grow up? When your young all you want to be is older and when your older all you want to be is young again and its not until you experience something life changing, that opens your eyes to how precious time is, that you realize this and by then, its too late.
Sometimes I wish I could turn back time, do a few things differently but then as my mother always says “it’s just part of life’s rich tapestry”. Maybe if I’d lived my life differently I wouldn’t be who I am today. But the one thing we have that time can never erase are the memories, etched in the deepest corners of our mind somewhere are those precious moments that we treasure.
When I came to write the song ‘Time’ which closes my first album ‘Smile…it confuses people’ all I had to do was think back to where it all began and re-trace my steps back through my life, reigniting the memories, some devastatingly sad and some incredibly happy.
I hope you enjoy this song as much as I enjoyed writing it, it means the world to me.
Big Love
