Lyrics Early on a Friday in May, dancing on a crest of a wave I could feel the sudden crashing of cold water rush upon my shore In the twilight of innocence, with curiosity pushed to turbulence I’m bewildered by your passive hints That soon you may not need me anymore I shouldn’t anything distract me from anything You may be the follower but you’ve got your own great mind You shouldn’t let anything distract you from everything We left the beach as the dark patches advanced to hide the sun Later on the beach that day, I wondered just what you would say Would you tell me that everything is a segue to everything? Heaven’s ambience is the crashing of the tide It’s what I see when I retreat into the halls of my memory Composition © 2004 Ric Albano |
Song Info Composed on May 19, 1997 Recorded starting on September 10, 2004 at Silver Spring Subterranean Produced & Engineered by Ric Albano Mixed and Mastered in 2009 at Cygnus Wave Studios Original Release: September 9, 2009 on Imaginary Lines 33 Performers Listener Guide Analysis: A song approached in a very unique fashion, with lyrics written in one afternoon on the beach in Virginia and music composed over several years on a living room piano. The song suffers from a bit from rough recording and untimely ending, as it originally went directly t the follow-up “Dawning of Decadence”. Still it posseses a unique charm. Song Trivia |
