Time
(Mason, Waters, Wright, Gilmour) 7:06

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

Nice one. If you ever make it to deepest darkest Kent, I'll be sure to pop along for the gig! (Folk in the Barn at Kingston, Nr Canterbury, featured Nick Harper a few months back. And the equally brilliant Jon Gomm is going great guns. It's the inexorable rise of the acoustic-guitarist/singer-song­writer –huzzah!)

[JMWHMusic]

@kitcanttat Well, I do occasionally get over Kent-way to play, closest gig I have at the mo' is coincidentally a Pink Floyd Night, near Dorking, Surrey on Sun 11 March (6pm start). Meanwhile, send me an email via my website and I'll add you to the Kent email list, that's the easiest way for me to keep you informed. As for the rise of the acoustic gtr/singer/songwtr... looks like I chose the wrong time to take up playing modal-jazz kazoo, eh? Anyway, thanks for your support!

Brave, bold and clever interpretation, James. Hope you got a good crowd. What guitar/equipment were you using?

[JMWHMusic]

@kitcanttat Many thanks! The crowd was variable, but they definitely made me feel appreciated... gear-wise, I used my trusty Fender F210 with its two pick-ups (through Joe Meek and Sans Amp pre-amps), two Korg Ax30G's (with volume/expression pedals), one for the guitar and the other for the vocals. Also there was an extra guitar line which I routed through a volume pedal hooked up to a Boss HM-2, a bit heavy duty - but it added some welly when I needed it. Glad you enjoyed my interpretation :-)

I remember seeing this! I was at the wedding upstairs. Had to sack it off to come and see this instead. Was the highlight of the night!

[JMWHMusic]

@bgarthable Very kind of you to say so! :-)

[JMWHMusic]

@Moonwynd Thank you, Moonwynd!

[moonmanas]

[Moonwynd]

Awesome performance, James and as always, hearing you sing takes my breath away. Dynamic! Added both parts, 1 & 2, to my favorites.

@joffeshadow Nice one, thanks for adding your talents, Jonathan!
