Last year I woke up one morning and suddenly for the first time in my life I realized that I’m not just getting older , I AM OLD. The result of that early morning revelation was this song. I appreciate all that take the time to listen and comment. Tom

There’s Only So Much Time

I’d love to tell you I’m not scared of growing old
I’m not sure I can sell you on something you already know

That’s when we find there’s only so much time


I’ve heard the song before i’ve read the book you sent

God I Wish I could give you more i know how the movie ends


That’s when we find there’s only so much time


I hope I remember when we fell in love
it was a cold november but it turned out warm enough
I guess I'm more than OK with an early fall
At the end of the day it was worth it all


I’ve heard the song before i’ve read the book you sent

God I Wish I could give you more i know how the movie ends


That’s when we find there’s only so much time


Live our lives in the day to day
Never think it will go away
all the love and dreams we’ve found
one day will come crashing down

Think too much it’ll mess you up
And just when you think you’ve had enough
Along comes a vision and then you see
clear as day this was meant to be

I’ve heard the song before i’ve read the book you sent

God I Wish I could give you more i know how the movie ends


That’s when we find there’s only so much time

Tom,

What a great sound! Everything, absolutely EVERYTHING about this is as professional as anything out there in the market place. You really have outstanding production chops. I am constantly amazed at how incredible your mixes sound. There there's your signature vocals... first class!

Really, really, REALLY enjoyable.

Regards,
Noel

P.S. In relation to...


... have you tried setting the bar that defines 'old' a bit higher? I'm constantly revising it's location.

Now here it is a whole year later and the best revelation is that you're still here and pumping out great songs....

Great write, mix, production and performance.

Enjoyed this a lot and can so relate to it....

Tom,

All I can say is that I love this as much as some of my favorite Dylan tunes.

I am simply stunned.

Brilliant.

Great lines Tommy! Really enjoyed this!

Bob

Tom
That was just great. Everything about it was right (superb vocal).
Brilliant production and a lovely sound.

Peter

WOW!!! How do you keep getting better?? This is magnificent. The song is stellar, the sound is BIIIIIIIG! The vocal is PERFECT! I'm going to have to check out that fiddle RT-sweet and emotional. BRILLIANT!!! Take care. Greg

Noel, those are wise words. I will be addressing that bar revision in short order. Thanks for the wonderful review. Tom

You had me hooked right from the intro and it just got better from there. Awesome!

P.S. I'm old too :P

Love your stuff Tom. Beautiful tune, Awesome vocal and lyric. Steel is an awesome touch

Tom,

Outstanding song! So much feeling and a really great vocal... A new favorite for me.

Bob

Hi Tommy,

There appears to be a lot of deep introspection within this well thought out song
You have sung, orchestrated, and condensed it all into a beautiful song

Paddy G

Tom,

A beautiful write. You are really packing a wallop lately in your lyric... so full of thought. "From the heart" lyrics.

Beautiful production and mix. Everything sounds great. The piano is particularly nice.

Your vocals continue to pack a punch, too.

Super.

fj

Tom,

I imagine you singing this to your dear wife



beautiful

Alyn

Tom,

This is wonderful!
Your stuff is getting better every time.

Rob & Anne-Marie

A lot of us here are close in age and can probably relate. Thanks for the comments. Tom David, I'm a bit stunned by your wonderful words. Thanks, Tom Bob, I'm glad you liked it. Tom

Peter, thanks for coming by and giving it a spin. Tom

I appreciate all your kindness and support. Tom Thanks Dave, glad you liked it. Tom Scott, it was amazing the way the steel and fiddle real tracks layed in there. I'm constantly surprised at the way BIAB seems to know what I was thinking. Tom

Thanks Bob, preciate it. Tom Thanks for listening and commenting. Tom

floyd, Thanks for the kind review. I appreciate it. Tom

Yep... that's a good one.

Nice steel chops from the RT's.

Had to listen 2x.... the phone rang on the first time through.

Yeah, that's some nice writing.

Perfect song and interpretation with much feeling.
One of your best for me.

Sergio

OK, I agree with everything Noel said about the production sounding professional, I'm thinking what studios did you have this mixed and mastered in? Plus the song has the feel of more subtle parts than the usual verse/chorus that's available to us unless we dig in and do some work to massage some parts and instruments. Great producer,
writer,singer, harmony singer, guitar player.
Good song.

Kenny

Outstanding Tom...everything.

Since becoming crowned a septuagenarian this year I (Bud - not the younger wife!) can immensely appreciate the lyric.

I've mentioned it before but you say so much in so relatively few lines. Everything that needs to be said is said with no excess filler to drag around. Tight and concise yet always thought provoking...bit of a Zen thing there.

And as always, a lovely soundstage.

A sweet addition to our SC playlist!

J&B

Hi Tom,

This is some wonderful writing and the mix is great too!

Great tune!

Thanks Alyn, always nice to hear from you. Tom RnAM, Much appreciated. Tom

Awesome songs!

Thanks Herb. Glad you came back after the phone call. Tom Sergio, Thank You Much. Tom Kenny, Those are some real nice comments. Thanks, Tom

Tom,

Listened a few times now... its a superb production as others have said.I really like the way you`ve given the song time to build...and honoured that feeling you woke up with to craft one of the best "oldsters" songs around.

Robert

Bud, Thanks for the comments on the the lyrics. It's a craft I continue to work at. Tom Pauline, thanks for coming by and giving it a spin. Tom OMG, Thanks ! Glad you like them. Tom Robert, Maybe not the most popular subject for a song, but it wasn't meant to be popular. Thanks for commenting. Tom

You should be famous and living off royalty checks. Your talent is amazing.

Standing O from me and I'd flick my bic if I had one.

Hi Tommyad,

Well done! I really like the progression and the overall feel of the song. That snare is cracking!

Josie, You have always supported my songs and I appreciate it greatly. Thanks, Tom Hey Joe, Glad you liked it. Tom

Hi,Tom !

This must definitely be
one of your best if not
the best !!

I really love the progressions
and your wonderful vocals !

Cheers
Dani

Thanks Dani. Tom
