3RD TRACK

Okay, I finished this track last night. 

This song is simple to. A man is observing a family gathered together for a holiday from his window. although they are enjoying time spent together to the fullest, there is always an awareness of how fleeting time is, even alluding to the fact that they have to keep track of how many more days they have left till they all must return home. This has more of a classic Frank Sinatra/crooner feel and is in the key of G major, although still utilizing a minor chords in the prechorus. time sig. is 8/8. (I think)

Something to break the clock February 15, 2009

 "they all feel it on the inside

but they don’t say it

Cause it’s just too obvious

In their laughter

From the window

Even I see

That they all know

 

They can’t slow it down, or beat it

Bury time and wait for it to come back around

When it’s good, or when it’s needed.

There eyes sparkle with sighs from deep down

 

Oh give me something to break the clock

Give me something to break the clock

Something just to make everything stop

 

Nothing's happening

 but right here

they’re wearing down

the carpet dancing altogether

they love their family

but they waste

 their vacations

keeping track of days

 

They can’t slow it down, or beat it

Bury time and wait for it to come back around

When it’s good, or when it’s needed

There eyes sparkle with sighs from deep down

 

Oh give me something to break the clock

Give me something to break the clock

Something just to make everything stop"
