Free Song - "Life In An Instant"

Todays free song is an exclusive release of "Life In An Instant".  

 This song started as a day dream, wherein a future mankind could freeze time, and then live in that frozen second of time.  

 At first in the dream, it seemed a great thing. No hunger, no or sickness would effect you. Age would not chase after you. Bills would not accumulate. Your possessions would not wear out. Your pets would not die.

But at what cost?  

It soon became a metaphor for people who try too hard to live in the past, they forget enjoy the "now", and how much those people give up.   

Please let me know if you enjoy this.   

"Iife In An Instant"

In the far future
In the blink of an eye
We learned how to stop time
So nobody would die 

We could live in this instant
we’d be protected from time
sheltered from the future
it would be so sublime

Nobody would age
No cancer could grow
No baby could be born
As no woman would show

The weather would hang
frozen tears in the sky,
An nobody would get old,
And nobody would die. 

(Chorus)
it would be life in an instant
We would never grow old
We would always be pretty
Our lives will never unfold

Dreamy.... and bittersweet.

Kirsten Weispfenning

It's pretty melody. I can't wait to see what you'll make of it.

DrWex

It's in the tone.... but not in a bad way, just a contrast. Life in an Instant, has me feeling we'll stop this moment and there's just no further growth, someone who's content to just let things be.... it's a soft melody, almost like a lullaby. The Story That Never Starts - The contrast begins here as it's more vibrant, it clearly has a more intense rhythm and beat. Emotion wise, someone who's realized they haven't done anything with their life and no long wants to be content with just letting things be... get out there and live, not frozen, unmoving.
