Time Still
One of my favorites on the album. Must be listened to at high volume. It’s a song about the responsibility that comes with power or greatness, finding the balance in our crazy lives, and being persistent in obtaining our dreams.
We had Chris Gelbuda laying down on his back with his head next to the guitar amp during his screaming guitar solo. It was really, really loud in there. I think this solo was some of his best guitar work on the album. Way to rock brother.
lyrics
“Time Still” by Matthew Santos
Just because you can don’t mean you should,
Even if you should don’t mean you can.
Brother if you would it’s in your will.
There is power lost and power gained,
When we choose to play the game of fame.
Can we find the balance in the hills?
Even if we don’t have it now,
There is time still.
When the world feels like a spinning wheel,
When your desperate for that something real,
Can we trust the ways in how we feel?
Even if we don’t have it now,
There is time still.
Even if we don’t have it now,
There is time still.
