lyrics

Better Life

All through the years you thought nothing was right
Biding your time and fighting the good fight
Hoping someday that you’d have it made
Wasting away in the plans that you’ve laid

You long for a better life
Maybe its time right now
Maybe its time
For a better life
Because the time is now

Waiting for love your own special way
Saving so long for some other day
Joining the people standing in line
To get to the place where everything’s fine

You long for a better life
Maybe its time right now
Maybe its time
For a better life
Because the time is now  

It’s all in the  way you believe  
you can see  you can feel you can fly
Better get it right before the end of the line

You long for a better life
Maybe its time right now
Maybe its time
For a better life
Gonna turn around now

There’s no more hiding the tears  
All your hopes and your fears are behind
How many years would you trade for a dime?

You should know by now
You want a life of ease 
You’ve been burning the candle at both ends 
and you pine for peace

Common Ground

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
