The Scope Of Time

This is a song about coming to grips with the possibility that I'll never leave any lasting "legacy" for future generations. And that's okay. ;-)

Welcome to my occasional music digressions. These songs aren't written and performed so much as they're channeled. By a monkey.
Welcome friends & cyber travelers! I'm just an ordinary, not-at-all-strange or dysfunctional ad agency creative director with a couple guitars, a keyboard and an amazing palm-sized digital recorder called a Zoom PS-02. Most of my songs are conceived in the car -- some are even recorded there -- but everything is finished up legitimately and legally on a computer, which I have receipts for. Lately, in addition to my trusty PS02, I've been messing around with GarageBand software. Check out macjams.com. You'll find 192kbs downloads of many of my newest songs there. Musically and lyrically, my songs run the gamut from sweet to sarcastic to stupid. Here again, I want to assure everybody that I am a happy, well-adjusted soul, not deeply tormented with disturbed visions or running from the law or biting the heads off ferrets while listening to Yanni or Raffi or anything like that. Thanks for listening. And thanks to my family and to everyone at the Zoom PS02/PS04 Forum (http://www.2090.org/zoom/bbs) for the constant encouragement and support. And thanks to Susan Tedeschi for having the same last name as me, drawing thousands of unsuspecting people to my music.

Lyrics
In the scope of time, there’s no such thing as permanence The very thought that you can leave your mark is arrogance Even emperors are eventually forgotten We’re all just dinosaurs and dragons before the comet You work so hard You play so rough And in the end it’s not enough In the scope of time, there’s no such thing as history We’re just a ripple in the pond of mystery No celebrity, army or money can protect us Building our sandcastles in a tsunami You work so hard You play so rough And in the end it’s not enough Makes no difference how life goes Just let the spirit flow (solo, repeat chorus) In the scope of time, there’s no such thing as happiness Life’s just a penny on the sidewalk to nothingness In the scope of time, there’s no such thing as sorrow We’re all just temporary fools Temporary fools Temporary fools
