about

I am a big fan of Elliott Smith, and I read a story that when he was writing the Figure 8 album everyone seemed to be talking about a bright future instead of focusing on the present. So Elliott, a troubled but brilliant man, carved the word "now" into his arm and wrote the song "Everything Means Nothing To Me" while he bled onto the piano keys. I was inspired by the concept of living in the moment, and how focusing on the past can take away from the future.

lyrics

Verse 1
Fall in, to place when, someone, tells you to
If you, ran your own life, would you know what to do
The window, was closing, and time was running out
At the, chime of the clock, what was it all about

Chorus 1:
It’s the long run, that’s the problem
You dwell, leaving now

Verse 2:
Stuck with impulses, ignoring the place you stand in
Others are stuck with memories, that forever haunt them
Hard to picture the loves you have are not there
Twenty-one, gun, a nice goodbye

Chorus 2:
What about now
If you slow down
You’ll live forever
What would you do

Verse 3:
When the clock struck, everyone disappeared
There’s no more, now, so what was it all about

Chorus 3:
What about now
What about now
Live forever
Just for today
Where you’ve come from
Or where you’re going
Is right now
