about

I hate wasting time, but the awful 2020 kept us locked up and we had no choice. Good music and reading helped me through these trying times, but I wasn't writing any new songs. Then, I read 'Chasing Echoes' by Jodi Perkins www.jodiperkins.com and the floodgates to new music got open. This song shall help when you feel powerless and cornered.

lyrics

'Killing Time Blues'


The time I kill is killing me,
I feel time ripens all things.
I locked my soul inside and lost the key,
But time reveals all mysteries.

Why die before time stops your heart,
Live on don’t be a fool.
And though time tears everything apart,
It’s the fire and you’re the fuel.

We’ve never walked in so much gloom,
And time it takes its toll.
How did it get so bad so soon?
Do we fight or let it go?

And oh I know the lesson’s cruel,
But you’ve gotta take it on.
It’s something you’ll carry with you,
Whether you want it or not.

Do we fight or let it go?
Do we fight or let it go?!!!
The time I kill is killing me!
The time I kill is killing me!!!


Time don’t change it’s us that does,
Time's the one that stays the same.
It slips through the fingers like gold dust,
And it can never be reclaimed.

It doesn’t change but unfolds us
Like a swirling vortex.
You’ll never understand it,
It’s just far too complex.

And when the clock struck 12 again,
You tried to throw it away.
Afraid of what it said to you,
Lost time can’t be reclaimed.

You don’t have time to do it right,
You waste time doing it over.
The future's made at the speed of light,
You can’t make it any slower,
No you can’t make it any slower,
No you can’t make it any slower!

Do we fight or let it go?
Do we fight or let it go?!!!
The time I kill is killing me!
The time I kill is killing me!!!


Do we fight or let it go?
Do we fight or let it go?!!!
The time I kill is killing me!
The time I kill is killing me!!!

Halloween Hopes San Diego, California

Hello,
I'm Halloween Hopes, an indie songwriter from San Diego, California: open.spotify.com/artist/1rcXxHCP3SBSfhXYjqphXi
I have unusual flow of writing. A song starts with some Hip Hop poetry, then it takes over and gets life of its own turning into rock, metal, pop, punk, ballad or staying a rap banger. Next, I try to pick musicians that are the best for the song. Let's kill some time! ... more
