lyrics

TIME (video here: www.madlabmusic.com/currentprojects/floc )

there is a different kind of time
it's a cleansing for the mind
it has a multitude of function
not just a single line

it's bendable, it's flexible
it folds around dimensions
beyond our sense of self

it permeates existence

it doesn't help to try to freeze it
to put it in a frame
its nature is in movement
intrinsic quality is change

though it lives without a colour
it has character and feeling
ponderous or fleeting
our journey through it gives it meaning

we feel it inside us
this pulsing thread of time
in blood, heart, veins and brain

it has no need of purpose
nor need to judge for loss or gain
impartial and impervious to our human lives
lived just as briefly as a passing
shadow in the rain

time in cycles, waves, spirals
time and time and time again

we think of it as history
this process that we're in
we like to break it into pieces
then and now and where and when

but time defies these efforts at containment
it was there before we started
and it'll be here when we're gone
it's reach is far beyond mere comprehension

plunging into present tense
experience of being - here
will help to blend us more firmly with its weave
allow us in to find a deeper peace
inside this world of physicality

where time shifts and changes matter
and challenges our sense of ease

about

Edward Ware New York, New York

I moved from New Zealand to New York in 1990 looking for the stimulus and challenges of life in an artistic centre of international stature and reputation. My work is equally inspired by the influences of visual art, literature and poetry as it is by the sonic worlds of other composers.
I currently spend my time between NYC and Barcelona. More info. can be found at my web site. ... more
