Time to Go - The Muster Point Project

4:29

This is first song I've ever released on streaming services! It's available on Spotify, Apple, Amazon and hundreds of other places nobody will ever hear it. 

Over the winter, I wrote 100 songs in 100 days, pushing myself to hone my songwriting skills - musically, none of these works had any lyrics. They were short little numbers, experimenting with different sounds, different arrangements and in the process, I taught myself how to butcher the piano and play the bass. It was then I turned my sights to writing full on songs with words and everything. While this isn't the first song I wrote, it is the first I released into the world in a big, distributed kind of way. 

I hope you like it. 

Time to go, doesn't really have a chorus, there are musical breaks with every instrument doing a different build. It's meant to sound like confusion (it felt like confusion playing it!), a reflection of the state of mind one is in when facing the decision to leave.

In the end it's a breakup song. The decision to go in a different direction because the path your on isn't going where you want it to go is something many people face. And, even when every piece of you knows it's what needs to happen, it's never an easy decision. 

Lyrics:

Feel like you’re living on the edge of town

Walking around with your head down

When you know, don’t be afraid

Cause you’ll know, it’s time to go

There comes a time when you cannot hide

The times are tough, you have to decide

It’s hard to do, but you know it’s right

Cause you know, it’s time to go

You can walk ‘til your shoes break down

Don't mean a thing if you’re still around

Time to punch the clock tonight

Cause you know, it’s time to go

Sometimes at night you just lay awake

Wondering just what it will take

For you to leave and start all over again

Cause you know, it’s time to go

It’s been so long since you’ve seen the light

You get so stuck and it don't feel right

You try hard to conceal the pain

Cause you know, it’s time to go

Words come hard when you can’t even think

Your mind is clouded your heart it does sink

You feel so empty and when she does too

Then you know, it’s time to go

Feel like you’re living on the edge of town

Walking around with your head down

When you go, don’t be afraid

Cause you know, it’s time to go

Cause you know, it’s time to go

Cause you know, it’s time to go
