Song information
This is another tune from the vault. Like “Sweet Peace” it’s from 2006.

I never forgot about it. I just hated the way the recording turned out.
It is among my earliest recordings and I’m afraid it shows, but I’ve always
been rather fond of the song itself.

It’s a philosophical piece about time, life and mortality.

After I remastered and re-sung “Sweet Peace,” I decided to see if I could salvage
this tune as well. (I COULD re-record it from scratch, but that’s too much work
for a lazy guy like me!)

The original mix included piano and organ, but these were poorly recorded,
and seemed to muck up the soundscape, so I removed them.

In the end I chose a minimalist approach.

As you may have guessed, I had some fun writing this one!

Take care my friends…

Lyrics
ENTROPY

I
Well the sun it rises—I open my eyes.
Another new day begins;
but before I can blink, 
you know that “fat old sun”
is sinkin’ in the West again.

II
Well the days they fly by much too fast;
they be runnin’ through my fingers like sand.
Another day…another dollar…
then I’m back on the treadmill again.

III
You know they say our life
is “an idiot’s tale,
full of fury, without reason or rhyme”
—but I’ve got a feelin’ more is happenin’ here
than we know,
—much more than meets the eye!

IV
Well I stop to smell the roses,
but the thorns they prick my hand;
then I’m dragged away by the current,
and swept back downstream again!

CHORUS:
We’re livin’ in entropy!
We’re runnin’ down…
We’re caught in a tailspin;
gonna screw us in the ground!
We’re livin’ in entropy!
We’re doin’ time…
We’re caught in a vortex.
The world is spinnin’ on by…

BRIDGE:
Sometimes when I’m dreaming,
I get the view from overhead;
and there’s “a time for everything,”
just like old Koheleth said.
But the Sandman packs away his kit,
and he slips into the day;
and I’m left here empty-handed
with nothin’ but my faith…

V
Heraclitus says:
“You cannot step into the same stream twice.”
Well maybe that’s true,
but “it’s all Greek to me.”
I can’t even step in once!
Well there may be “a time for everything,”
but I believe my watch has stopped;
and I find myself runnin’ at full tilt
just to keep us with myself!

CHORUS:
We’re livin’ in entropy!
We’re doin’ time…
We’re caught in a vortex.
The world is spinnin’ on by…
We’re livin’ in entropy!
We’re runnin’ down…
We’re caught in a tailspin;
gonna screw us in the ground!

We’re livin’ in entropy…

Man, it packs a wallop from the get-go.
I think the "striped-down" sound is definitely the way to go. Gives it a great kinds of 70s classic rock sound and feel.
Really digging you pulling out these gems from the last.
Thanks for sharing!
