Finally

Having just returned from a week in Montreal, I believe the following song describes my feelings about that city. The video was created by a fan, so don't expect anything super-fancy.

Montreal was quite a surreal experience.

Being in a city and a culture where time passes very slowly -- and where people are friendly and actually valued (as people) –- I’m finding this first day back in America extremely unsatisfying, to say the least.

Perhaps the only way to cope with priorities, tasks, duties and expectations is to remember the laughter, the music, the serenity and the joy of being in a city that truly felt like home.

Finally.


Kings of Tomorrow
featuring Julie McKnight

Time marches on never ending,
time keeps its own time,
Here we stand at beginning,
and then goes passing us by,

And I, I, I can dream for us all,
I hope I'm in a better state,
When here and now crumbles and falls
and you, you, you who make worlds collide
I knew you'd come knocking one day,
unannounced like a thief in the night.

Where do we go from here,
time ain't nothing but time,
I now have no fear of my fears
And no more tears to cry,
tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow means nothing at all

If we don't hear the line,
when today places its call, and morning, morning, morning
Won't ever be the same,
now I won't make the same mistakes, time and time again (5x)

Chorus

So tell me how do you do
Finally I meet you
You don't know what I've been through,
waiting and wondering about you
I had a dream my trip would end at you,
and now I know paradise.
