about

The title track from the upcoming cover album project, "The Longest Second."

I'm releasing this as a single on bandcamp due to cover licensing. The rest of the album will be on digital distro.

This time, the project involves covers of songs that have impacted me in some way or another, and I wanted to do it in third-wave style as it's a genre that I grew up with and love to this day. There are many similar third-wave covers of popular songs, and I wanted to add my own contribution.

However, I didn't want it to be exclusively covers, so I wrote this original to go along with it. You could think of it as the emotions experienced when someone's life flashes before their lives, whenever, in one moment, someone's life changes, or for a particularly strong memory that you wish could last forever, or even the emotion of living in and for the present.

That's what "The Longest Second" means to me; to live in the present and appreciate each moment in life as it goes.

LYRICS

with all of my heart
with all of my strength

i pray to the stars
i wish from afar
that time could stop a little more

and if i cant see to the end
i hope my heart will understand
that there's something on the other end

but for now i hope to stay by your side
every second every time

and after all is said and done
i hope you will remember
this moment for forever

and after all is said and done
somewhere in between now and never
this second was forever

every second that we pass in time
is a precious moment
written on my heart

and i turn the pages every day
spinning faster moving forward
flashing in my mind like a film on rewind

fading as i watch helpless
that i may die
i will claim my life

and after all is said and done
i hope you will remember
this moment for forever

and after all is said and done
somewhere in between now and never
this second was forever

when the day comes that we say our goodbye
and my soul is bare inside my eyes
i will find you on the other side
every moment every second

and after all is said and done
i hope you will remember
this moment for forever

and after all is said and done
somewhere in between now and never
this second was forever
