Nice lyrical approach and very well recorded

I get a "Smithsonian Folkways" kind of feeling when I listen to your music.  (That's a particular label I used to love. I'm not sure it still exists).  You have your own sound!

Hey Jim man, this is a wonderfully charming song. Great piano and bass in here. Netta gives a superb performance, too. Excellent work here, both of you!

Wonderful song, so well done both of you :)

Because I am thousands of years old, all of the memories I have that might be described as "vivid" are not ones from yesterday.  I recall, with absolute clarity, the late evening when another Jim, the patrolling, elderly, security guard dropped by my office to say hello and I bitched, in my coffee-induced stupor about the grief of the job and the current proposal I was writing and how I couldn't wait for retirement - still some distant point on life's horizon.  "Ah, son" he said, with a slight hint of the Irish in him, "don't wish it away".  My life-clock tells me that that was sometime around last Tuesday, but my calendar tells me it was thirty years ago.  You nailed it, guys.

The days came by then went away,
The timing never right
I looked around and then it passed
The day turned into night

Catching up with time and space
You don’t know what you’ll get
But i know whats not going on
Cos nothing’s happened yet

Reaching out to grasp the day
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by

I could’ve turned the other way
The feeling came so fast
Quickly went away again
Just wasn’t meant to last

It stopped me in my tracks
I didn’t know where to turn
Making the same mistake again
When will i ever learn

Reaching out to grasp the day
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by

The days came by then went away,

Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
…
Reaching out to grasp the day
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by
