lyrics

A Lifetime to Learn How to Love

The northern lights are out, they’re a-twinklin’ in your eyes
In pursuit of words and rhymes that no poet can devise
May you find the light - a guide - around romantic traps
‘cause we all flatline sometimes and we watch the world collapse

The moon is on a string, hangs above your head
Love comes crashing in, where the ghosts have fled

Baby, may your dreams all come true
May kindness and light always surround you
Baby, if your mind gives up your heart
Remind yourself of – you’ve got a lifetime to learn how to love
A lifetime to learn how to love

May we build a strong ground for you, when the wind is at your door
May lovers serenade your steps, just to even the score

There’s an endless stair, of my own doubts and fears
But I promise you that I always will be there

Baby, may your dreams all come true
May kindness and light always surround you
Baby, if your mind gives up your heart
Remind yourself of – you’ve got a lifetime to learn how to love
A lifetime to learn how to love

Everybody gets a little lost before we find our home
and everybody hits a wall before we know
which way we can finally go
Everybody breaks an inch or two before we learn to grow
and everybody needs a hand to tell us that
we’ll never be all alone

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)

Fell in love with BBT recently, absolutely love the stories they tell and the music. Very sad to hear about David’s passing, listening now is quite moving, moved to tears from time to time, but we move on as I hope BBT will with David in our hearts. tonyauroristony58

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before? This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship. Essential. Crinklechips

Just sets right, intelligent but not overblown. Nice balance across tracks. daveks
