about

As we were forming The Brass I was preparing to move from Seattle to Portland. Audience was a reflection on decades of playing music and suffering the consequences of that pursuit. It is a song about lost time, friends and opportunities. Also; It was the first song we ever wrote as a band. This was a promise to myself that I would try to live in the moment this time around.

lyrics

Couldn't find my own way back
I just kept going in whatever wrong direction I could find
Be it on my own or asking
Are there such things as paths in life

I Never got the past I wanted, I can't blame that on today
And no one's asking what you think or how you feel
About the life you're born to live out on your own

Now I'm staring down a barrel
Of one last chance
To see the answers always been where giving more
Means taking less

I never got the past I wanted, 'cause I never really tried
What that means is so much simpler than it seems
That everything was just prelude to now

No one can take my intent from me, still I'm convinced
By all the slippery ways our dreams will simply complicate
It's just the way they said it'd end
But failures won't define me
I'm gonna learn to live
Then tighten my grip, on what's inside, I'm gonna find out if it kills me
If there's any chance at all, it'll be the last you'll hear of me I'll be
Headin on, getting lost, closer, hold still so
Moments stop slipping away

These moments won't slip away, won’t slip away
These moments won't slip away
These moments can't, won't, slip, away
