Time Passes (YouTube)

Update: The song was placed on a very popular Spotify playlist (2K plays in three days) and as PeterF said, “we’re sandwiched in between the little known artists Fleetwood Mac and Paul McCartney.” smile

Alert: Old school lip sync video with images and clips via my cellphone camera smile shot at a local 50 acre arboretum where we regularly hike. The clips were shot last week and the photos over time. Had we chosen to do this in the spring or fall we could have included some really lovely scenery in the forest. However we proceeded as we’ve long wanted to do a tribute video to our passed on gentle soul friend and former bandmate who was fond of saying, “time passes and things change.” And also to our departed canine companion. As it is a bit personal we were initially reticent to post it but decided to go with it.

BTW I call Janice at 67 (this month) a “junior senior” 😀 and she tried to show some of her grey hair in V1 - fitting with the lyric. But, alas, she has so much original color left it’s hard to see. Oh, those giant leaves in V2 are from the aptly named big leaf magnolia.

I’ve provided two links so if you don’t like the vagaries of YT you can view it on our website. Hope it works for you and your time to watch and perhaps comment is welcomed and appreciated. Thanks to our friend/music partner PeterF and PG Music.

TIME PASSES
Makes no difference if we are rich or poor

Don’t matter if we are young or old

We may go to church or only walk in a forest
Maybe we’re into Karma or believe it’s all foretold

Come what may time passes things change

Keep an eye on the horizon follow our dream 

We may have to make our own way

The naysayers will try to block the path

Always trying to get us to join the fray

Come what may time passes things change

The time has come for more looking up

There’s been too much staring left and right

Why don’t we quit counting our likes and friends

keep the spirit strong things are gonna be alright

Come what may time passes things change

Yes, time passes things change
