about

The Time To Be

G.S.: vocals, guitars, electronic percussion. Lyrics 2/89. Music 6/1-2/91. Recorded 6/1-2/91.

This was the first thing recorded for the album. The music was inspired by some early John Mayall, Phil Manzanera, Eno, Spanky and Our Gang, etc. This is also the last song to use the Casio electronic percussion pads which are used all over "Water From The Moon". It is undoubtedly the lightest thing on this compilation and possibly the lightest thing I've done. And yet....

The lyrics are about how doing something as simple as sitting outside on a nice day can give you an idea about what's gone wrong with the world- the very lack of such simple time to just "be". The viewpoint offers a revalation, but not necessarily any concrete answers. The hard part still remains to be done.
