about

(My best friend suddenly passed away years ago, when he was 35.. so this particular age had always haunted me. Furthermore, the “live fast, die young” ethos we championed in our youth have given way to a more hopeful future passage, and I now welcome it.)

lyrics

Past life remembered just like fading photographs
Just think of all the good times we had
Sometimes I cant believe it, so all I do is laugh
How did I make it here alive?
Please tell my mother that I tried
Understand that I'm a man, I don't always get it right
And tell my children its no lie
You will never reach the stars without learning how to fly

And so I sit here on the eve of thirty five
Wondering where have all the good times gone
Born to run, my fathers son, been running most my life
A few regrets but man did I have fun
Truth be told I'm feeling old and now its time for me to slow down
My heart is pure my mind is sure that this is the road I go down
I only hope that this will get easier for me to hold down
'cause it will hurt twice as hard than before if I fall down

Please tell my love that its OK
That was then and this is now, its better off that way
A life half lived and yet I know the best is yet to come
Will life be that different after today?

As the sun sets on my youth, I find that its all good
I lived it hard and I have lived it right, alright
Too many lost befor
Lets look ahead to all the good times we'll havee their time I feel I'm here to wait on my own
Lamenting on the eve of thirty five
Remember the past but don't dwell
Look to the future and know that all is well
Its not like we get a second chance

Christopher Shaw image

Christopher Shaw Portland, Oregon

I'm a multi-instrumentalist, and I began playing music at age 10, writing and recording solo work since age 16. Ive put in time with a handful of bands over the past couple decades but Ive always maintained a loner musical personality. My range in style is broad, and id rather remain undefined as a musician. This is my art/therapy. I hope its enjoyed, and I really appreciate feedback. Cheers. ... more
