lyrics

Forever, For You

I’m up with the dawn alone with my back pages
Life through a lens, god, it must have been ages
Grew up a child right in Spielberg suburbia
Where “I’ll be right here” was my home

The playground is empty and all overgrown
The picture, it seems, ain’t the one I had known
This is the place where we left our last game
And we did never return

I’m thinking of dreams that we didn’t pursue
A promise we’d swore we’d hold on to
Well, I’ll hold on forever, for you

You’d do as you pleased, then you do as you’re told
Your look’s no surprise – it’s the child just grew old
We try to remember what we should forget
when memories lead to regret

I’ve run through the attic in my mind
Now a longing is all there is to find

Slow down time and my seasonal heart
We rush through life and we meet but to part
Slow down time, hold me close and be true
The only thing that lasts forever
Is the love that we leave when we’re gone

The days will linger on and on in guilty pleasure songs
The treasures we dug down on some old forgotten ground
Waiting to be found
And I’ve found that spark burn bright again in pictures of old friends
And I see you, all of you,
In past tense

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
