Name: Live in the Moment
Duration: P00H02M38S
Description: This track really should be called 'Time Passes Quickly', but as I subsequently wrote a song with that title, I thought it would be too confusing. I have no memory of writing this one at all. It seems to fit in with the Fairport Convention Mark One/Monkees vibe I was really aiming for in both The Dandelions and Karma Truffle.

Live in the Moment

lyrics

Time Passes Quickly

You will be wrong, you will be right
You will be strong, you’ll lose a fight
You’ll be picked up, you’ll get knocked down
But one thing that I know is time passes quickly

You’ll win the lot, you’ll lose it all
You’ll have your back against the wall
You’ll stay out late, you’ll look within
But one thing that I know is time passes quickly

Live in the moment
Live in the moment
Live in the moment

You’ll settle down, you may break up
You may have kids, they’ll soon grow up
You’ll get a job, you’ll give up work
But one thing that I know is time passes quickly

Blake recommends:

North Circular
by Bevis Frond

Being a singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/home recorder myself, and largely inspired by The Frond, I appreciate the amount of talent that has gone into creating this amazing work of art. Genius! Blake

Sometimes In The Morning
by Simon Wells

Gorgeous album full of charm and wit, wonderful imagery, observations on provincial British life, characters brought to life with the skill of a novelist and nods to the ghosts of a visionary Albion. Blake

CHOOCHTOWN
by HAMELL ON TRIAL

Choochtown is possibly the greatest, most creative album by one person I've ever heard. It's like a Raymond Chandler whodunnit which is in turns funny, romantic, violent, scary & uplifting. Gotta get! Blake
