LYRICS

It’s Just A Matter Of Time

Time, it's just a matter of time
Before the gambler loses all on the roll of a dice
Time, it's just a matter of time
Till the river of love becomes just a river of ice

And time, it's just a matter of time
Till the green leaf withers and takes on shades of brown
Time, it's just a matter of time
Before this old world stops spinning round and round

I've heard it called 'the game of love'
but no one knows the rules
Or we're sailing off to someplace on a crazy ship of fools
Without a chart or compass we're steering by the stars
But when we reach our destination
we don't know where are


INSTRUMENTAL

Time, it's just a matter of time
Before the gambler loses all on the roll of a dice
Time, it's just a matter of time
Till the river of love becomes just a river of ice

Time, it's just a matter of time
Till the green leaf withers and takes on shades of brown
Time, it's just a matter of time
Before this old world stops spinning round and round

Nice relaxing track with excellent vocals and a smooth attack. Enjoyed my listen. I do think you could have come up a bit tad on the vocals but that's just me nit picking which I don't usually do :-)

Thanks, Henry. The vocal level seemed spot on through the headphones but I must admit they lost prominence through the larger sound system. I might add another db or 2. smile

Relaxing soft rock song, beautiful simple melody and lyrics with a pinch of nice melancholy. Nice arrangement, I especially like the solo guitarist. Pleasant vocals.

Thanks Janne.
I auditioned about 4 or 5 BIAB soloist guitars before I settled on 2604.

Thank you, Captain.

I must say, it was one of my most enjoyable composition experiences. It started late on last Friday afternoon. I was pumped after returning from a 1-hour instrumental performance before an audience of enthusiastic aged-care residents.
I opened up BIAB, picked out a style, and started typing up a chord progression. I worked on that for two days and was about to record the guitar melody when I changed my mind and started to work on some lyrics instead. Come Monday afternoon it was done.

Brian, this is your best to date IMHO.

Nice chord progression supporting a fantastic vocal! Great harmonies.

That B3 was the icing on the cake. Super instrumentation and mix.

Loved it.

Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.

"Time, it's just a matter of time
Before the gambler loses all on the roll of a dice
Time, it's just a matter of time
Till the river of love becomes just a river of ice"

Nice write that was engaging from the get go.

Janice mentioned a Jim Croce feel.

Your pleasant smooth vocal delivery worked really well with this.

And you wrapped it all in a nice BiaB session group and mix.

Thanks J&B. I have tweaked it a little since posting it on Soundcloud, making some of the words clearer in the recording and improving the timing and mix. If I'm honest, everything I've done is actually "a work in progress" and no two live performances are exactly the same.

And mixing is never finished ... just abandoned. smile
