about

My friend Rich Rossi and I started this song in a songwriting class pre-pandemic, and after many distractions, it's finally done.

Big thanks to my brother Tony for painting the fabulous cover art.

lyrics

VERSE 1
We learn that as we live, our time is ours to give
Each minute is a gift we cannot buy
Yesterday’s behind, tomorrow’s undefined
How we treat today will cast the die
VERSE 2
As fortunes come and go, our lives run with the flow
We race through all our business, just because
To stop and smell the rose, as doors begin to close
Will help us to remember how it was
CHORUS
Our moments fly so often without mourning
Destinies amended by and by
Memories will fade with no forewarning
We’re living in the now, so moments fly
BRIDGE
With each and every game, we light a brand new flame
Illuminating time we can’t evade
And when that game is done, we grab our ball and run
Presuming we’ll remember how we played
CHORUS
Our moments fly so often without mourning
Destinies amended by and by
Memories will fade with no forewarning
We’re living in the now, so moments fly
VERSE 3
Nostalgia fades to black, dreams pick up the slack
The ghosts of days gone by will soon depart
But memories can last, despite the time that’s passed
If you choose to hold them in your heart
CHORUS
Our moments fly so often without mourning
Destinies amended by and by
Memories will fade with no forewarning
We’re living in the now, so moments fly

about

Mike Browning Southport, North Carolina

Imagine working most of your adult life as nothing more
than a cog in the corporate machine. Then imagine finding
yourself in a community college classroom, led by one of
your musical heroes. That happened to me, after I ran into
Jamie Hoover of the Spongetones at a Dairy Queen. His generosity in sharing his vast knowledge of studio techniques with me has led me to releasing my very first EP. ... more
