FreeEarCandy Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Hello everyone! Been awhile. Hope every one is doing well. "It's About Time" delivers a captivating mix of progressive blues and rock, immersing listeners into a rich auditory journey. The song's instrumentation is as diverse as it is dynamic, featuring an ensemble of drums, bass, electric guitar, saxophone, piano, synth, and vocals, each contributing to the song's complex and layered texture. The opening lines, "Time. Minutes, hours and days. Time. Ticking away," set the stage for a contemplation on the nature of time, its relentless passage, and its elusive quality. The repetitive use of the word "Time" echoes the ticking of a clock, creating a rhythmic and almost hypnotic effect. The vocals, raw and emotive, weave through the intricate instrumental arrangement, with the electric guitar and saxophone adding depth and a sense of melancholy. The saxophone, in particular, brings a soulful dimension, reminiscent of the greats in blues and rock history. Lines like "Time. So generous and unkind. Time. It heals and it breaks." capture the duality of time—its power to both mend and harm. The synth adds an ethereal quality, creating a sense of vastness and eternity, while the piano grounds the song with a sense of realism and intimacy. The chorus, although simple, is profoundly effective, with the repeated question, "Time. Where does it go?" resonating deeply with anyone who's ever pondered the fleeting nature of life. Overall, "It's About Time" is a masterful blend of progressive blues and rock, offering a deeply philosophical reflection on time's passage. It’s a track that invites listeners to lose themselves in its melody while contemplating the very essence of existence. A true auditory experience that lingers long after the final note. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookiee Posted Wednesday at 01:26 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:26 PM Time is an illusion, a mathematical construct created by mathematicians to make their math work, simples. Mix sounds fine here, everything has a place, vocals clear and well placed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been intrigued with the possibility that our sense of self is responsible for many concepts that just don't follow objective reality. There is no left or right side of any space until a ego steps into the space and measures. Much the same a Schrodinger's cat and the collapse of the wave function. Our sense of self creates this notion of separation-the world inside our head and the world outside our head. Seems all the relativity is a consequence of the observer. Much the same as the duality of left and right, and in and out, time also has dualistic qualities -past and future. This song lyrically exploits these dualistic concepts. Personally, I think there are a lot of things pointing at the possibility its all one thingy and the rest is mind fookery. E=MC^2. "Things that are equal to each other are equal to the same "Thingy"." < Euclidean 1 thingy. Thanks, Wookiee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted Thursday at 12:35 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:35 AM @FreeEarCandy you are the second person to bring Schrodinger's cat to my attention this week. Such that through the power of thought experiment alone, I fired up the Falcon, nipped back to 1935, and checked what he actually put in the box, they are not going to be happy if they ever open that thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted Thursday at 07:13 AM Share Posted Thursday at 07:13 AM Hi I like this a lot - I did look up Schrodinger's cat but i have to say it lost me at " a paradox of quantum superposition " anyway, love the track!! Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha! Sounds too ominous for me to look. So I went back to 1942 in my Nash Rambler and found a brave soul named Tweety Bird whose curiosity about the matter was not deterred by the thought of killing a cat. And we all know curiosity always kills the cat. Upon inspection, Tweety animatedly insisted he thought he saw a puddy cat, expressing some "uncertainty". However, upon closer examination, Tweety Bird declared, "I did, I did! I did see a puddy cat." Now, why one would ever think about putting a poor puddy cat in a box I'll never know, but I strongly suspect the thought of catching a roadrunner was too challenging, even while riding on a beam of light. Personally, I have mixed feelings about it. I don't know if I want to laugh or cry. Perhaps if I put my confused emotions in the box and have someone look I'll be able to sort it all out? What do you think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Hello Nigel! Thanks for dropping in. Quantum superposition is a condition of non-locality. In the case of Quantum particles, the particle is everywhere simultaneously and will remain in that state of uncertainty until measured by an observer. The double slit experiment demonstrates the phenomenon. Its a bit hard to wrap ones head around at first, but it comes down to 2 outcomes. Certainty (locality) & Uncertainty (non-locality). Glad you liked the new track. Nigel. Dr Quantum Double Slit Experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
