Jude Cole | Speed of Life

From the album "I Don't Know Why I Act This Way" (1995) www.judecole.com

Speed of Life
Like ghosts on open windows
The curtains rise and fall
The past is a foreign country
At the dark end of the hall

And the morning is an offering
To the shelter of the day
But the violent come
And they bury it away

Time goes by at the speed of life
Slower than a slow dance on a hot summer night
Faster than the skin breaks on the edge of a knife
And we just go on at the speed of life

Like questions begging answers
The stars appear at night
What's it mean to love somebody
What's it mean to be alive

I heard a little girl laughing
At her first sight of snow
Saw an old man dying
In a room, he didn't know

While the world turns through the ages
It's a most peculiar ride
Holding on to one another
Moving at the speed of life

We just go on at the speed of life
A family on the midway in the carnival lights
Moving in a circle through the sounds and the sights
And it all goes by at the speed of life

Time goes by at the speed of life
Slower than a slow dance on a hot summer night
Faster than the skin breaks, baby
On the edge of a knife

And we just go on and on at the speed of life
Moving at the speed of life, speed of life
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on

[0marigolds]

@LemonOdette thank you very much for your kind words - peace ;.)

[RaceForTheTruth]

One of the best written and performed songs of ALL TIME.  Jude Cole is in a league of his own.

[0marigolds]

absolutely! hope his new album is released soon! ;.)

[0marigolds]

To: jakeluvsmel who probably "don't remember" being here. your comment remains because you shared some wisdom. But, if you wouldn't say it at your family kitchen table?

Best of luck and welcome should you ever land here again.

I liked the way the feather moves to the tempo of the music. Very nice song--never heard it before now. Very nice imagery that goes well with the song. Thank you for your video.

[0marigolds]

This song is amazing. This was my second attempt at "animating" - "Spirit" gets the bulk of the credit for leading me to finish this! ;.) All the best to you MoodyJill

[MPGold]

This makes me think of the mid-'90s.

Kiefer is in bussiness w/Jude at their production studios Ironworks Music. Also Keifer is in one of the songs "I don't know why I act this way" He does the talking. Jude made it big by producing lifehouse. & has been @ the producing chair since. He has said it's time for him to record because he's forgotten what he sounds like.can't wait for it. He's a great talent, writer, singer.His newest release

" Lovin you ain't loving me" You can listen on my profile

I really like jude cole. I only wish that "Sheila don't remember" was available or on here however, I just really NEED to hear it......Ya know movin on is a simple thing....What it leaves behind is hard.....our mind is our worst enemy, if we let it beat us. Hell I have a lil' buzz. I love everyone right now. Just remember ....we control our outcomes and our future. I guess we need to "nut-up". Birmingham, Alabama!!!!!!!!!
