about

This song was originally written for the album “From Across the Field”, but I couldn’t figure out how to produce it. The only part I had was the bass riff and the drums (and of course the melody and lyrics).

It was first when I enlisted Dima Faustov on Saxes and Clarinet that the arrangement began to make sense. I am really fond of the instrumental ending of the song as well as the changes in the rhythm through the song. The song is strongly inspired by the novel “The First 15 Lives of Harry August” by Claire North. You should read it, it is really great.

lyrics

There's a pattern to everything you see
History is growing like the rings of a tree
For every pogrom and slaughter that took place
a new one is waiting in the woods behind the haze
For every bubble that ever burst
New greed will spring just to quench the thirst

I stand like a statue,
your world is passing me by
Could you relive your life?
Would you want to give it a try?
Oh I, I remember, remember it all

I've been around a lot longer than you think.
I've seen humanity sail across the brink.
I live and die, yeah, I live and die
And I've been everything from a doctor to a spy
For every cycle I play the part
I know every change - that ever was by heart

I stand like a statue…

The future is changing.
The things we hold dear are now slipping away.
The future is changing.
Faces of loved ones fall into decay

I stand like a statue…
