Everything Changes - Life gradually takes away everything

Описание: This song is for anyone who has ever returned to a place from their past only to find it gone or changed beyond recognition. It's a meditation on the passage of time, the fading of memories, and the quiet grief of watching the world you knew transform. A reflective ballad about the stranger in the mirror and the silent thief that is time.

Lyrics (c) Marc Glasby

There’s strangers in my father’s house
And all his things have gone,
There’s nothing left but memories
Of all that he had done.

All the things he saw in life
And all the things he knew.
just vanished with the sands of time
The day his life was through,

Life is always changing,
and nothing stays the same,
the rules are always altered,
in this, the lifelong game.
The places of our childhood,
have changed beyond belief,
Our memories are altered,
by time, the silent thief.

My childhood friends are nothing now
But ghosts and faded dreams
Just melancholy memories
How long ago it seems

The places of my youth have changed
And I can’t recognise
The old man in the mirror now
Who looks back with my eyes

Life is always changing,
and nothing stays the same,
the rules are always altered,
in this, the lifelong game.
The places of our childhood,
have changed beyond belief,
Our memories are altered,
by time, the silent thief.

Time, why do you change things?
and turn my life to dust?
Why do you rearrange things?
and take away my trust?

The world has changed beyond belief
In just a few short years
It cares nought what I might say
My hopes, my dreams, my fears

In days gone by the haunts I knew
Were always to be found
But changes take my memories
and steal my sacred ground

Everything they say must change
Each dog will have its day
but everything you thought you knew
Will someday fade away

Life is always changing,
and nothing stays the same,
the rules are always altered,
in this, the lifelong game.
The places of our childhood,
have changed beyond belief,
Our memories are altered,
by time, the silent thief.

The places of our childhood,
have changed beyond belief,
Our memories are altered,
by time, the silent thief.
Yes time's a silent thief.

AI music is controversial as is has the possibility of putting a lot of people in the music industry out of work BUT it also democratises music. I have zero musical talent. I can’t write music and I can’t sing but I do write lyrics that I believe are good enough to be made into songs.

So far this has only happened to two on my ballads and I have so many more that I think will make good songs.

Enter AI. I now have the opportunity to turn my words into songs and to share them with the world at large. Although my ballads have been shared for many years, people are just not interested in reading them. Songs are so much easier to digest but apart from two that were turned into songs, nobody ever bothered.

Since no one was interested in converting my ballads to music, I am not putting anyone out of work by pursuing this.

The lyrics (apart from one collaboration with Graham Rodgers for the song The Eagle) are all my own original work. The music and vocals are AI.

Should any recording artist want to take one of my songs and release it, I would be more than happy to speak with them about it.
