Excellent song, Marty, I fell in love with the feel of this one right from the start. Thanks to everyone that mentioned my bit, always good to know that some people actually like the guitar enough to mention it  Thanks, Dave. Your love sounds great. Wow.
The flow and timing of your song is perfect.
Great song, great vocals, and a great mix.
You're both in top form and doing what you do best!
Carpe diem... Thanks, Brain. Nice Bass!
Dave sounds great (like Dave).
Your vocal on this is extra good.
And a good write.
"I realize my youth is done, so I shoot Time a flare."
"As I aged I grew to care so little for so much..."
Worth the price of admission.
But this:
"If we concentrate upon the here and now,
the where and when would stand aside.
If we live without the if and how,
we wouldn't question why."
...really puts it over the top.
fj Ah, thanks so much, Floyd. "...and so much for so little." Man, I can't believe --no I can believe cuz it's-- you latched onto the lyrics in the Bridge. I learned long ago (mostly through photography) that I really can't take credit for creations "I" make. Lyrics just roll out when needed, and often don't even make sense to me. When the Bridge rolled out with these I read and re-read them again to be sure it was as sensible as it seemed.

“As I aged I grew to care so little for so much,
and so much for so little.”
Wow, what a contemplative line!
As always you and Dave nailed your performances.
Your vocal, Dave’s soaring guitar and your bottom end all sound excellent.
Nice dynamic mix that set up a fine soundstage on the monitors.
And the vid was very supportive of the lyric … all of the scenes.
Enjoyed it guys!

Marty,
You and Dave do these type of tunes so well together . . . another great collaboration that starts with a killer write, continues with a cool, cool vibe, and highlighted by all those slick Dave Bell licks. Another gem!!
My best to you both,
Deej Thanks, Deej. As for Dave he can do any type of tune so well. Best to you, too. I woke up this morning and this song was playing in my mind, so it must have an important message to me, I'm trying to figure out why, although I know I'll never know  "Time and space aren't real./There's spaceless time of timeless space." very philosophical thinking and I truly appreciate your vision on the rules of life  Exciting bluesy chord progression and Dave's presence amplifies the mysterious mood around "Why". That percussion rhythm was also an exciting addition. Great bassline and one of your best vocal performances, full of emotion and immersion. Time is not slipping by when I listen to this masterpiece, it is here and now. Super great video also, you are a true visionary. Janne Thanks, Janne. Living now doesn't care why, I guess. Yeah, I apply the Hapkido philosophy: there are no rules. Thanks for the percussion nod, too. "emotion and immersion" I like that. Gritty and funky. I like it Marty! Thanks, Paul. “As I aged I grew to care so little for so much,
and so much for so little.”

J&B Thanks, you two (who are one). Glad you zeroed in on those lines. I was woried the melody would break them up too much to be discerned. Fed by apathy and honed by love.
