Running Out of Time - music by LestG, Lyrics/Vox/Lead G. by Vanncad

[Vanncad]

LestG posted this awesome music a while ago and the first thing that popped into my head was "running out of time".  OldRottenHead posted a version called "From the Cradle to the Grave" that I haven't listened to yet (I've been dying to ORH - I just wanted to wait to see how our two intrepretations differed from each other), but I'm going to as soon as I finish this post.

This is my first time singing overtop of an MP3, so the mix is a little  "iffy".

Here are the lyrics:

Running Out of Time
As I recall it was in '94
Every time that I tried, they would just come and slam the door
I planned inside how to settle the score
But this time I would fly and not die like I'd done before

Wanted to run, but I hadn't even started crawling
Wanted to climb, but I couldn't stand the fear of falling

And in my heart I felt the rage of a young man in decline
I took my hand and turned the page, cause I was running out of time

Well I can see by the look in your eye
That you're trying hard as hell not to let them all see you cry
You spread your wings but it's harder to fly
When the rest of the flock just continues to pass you by

You want to run but you haven't even started crawling
You want to climb, but you're paralyzed by fear of falling

And in your heart, you feel the rage, of a young man in denial
Take your hand and turn the page, because you're running out of time

Every day it seems, the clock keeps ticking, counting down the hours
Even in your dreams, the sand keeps sifting, sand keeps sifting out

In your heart you'll find a way, like a young man redefined
Take a stand and turn the page, because we're running out of time

Thanks for the "canvas" LestG. This tune inspired me a lot. I hope you like it.

Yes - I love it! A real professional and serious recording. Just fantastic!! It reminds me of Linkin' Park a little bit, although completely original and much better sounding. Killer lead and vocals.

I think you did a great job working with an mp3 - Those are tough!!

A superb and brilliant job. Thanks for posting the lyrics.

Like the way you did the two vocal parts here, worked real well. Good lyrics too, and a great job fitting them onto the MP3. All good

[Glenn Mitchell]

I like a lot of stuff here. Great guitar licks, nicely mixed, and great lyrics in particular.

Great job for the first!!! There is a classical song I did many years ago that I did that used that musical analogy to the clock ticking. I like how you made reference to the clock ticking in the song. If you listen to the riff you could almost hear the clock ticking!!

Great song, glad you was able to paint on the canvas LOL!!

[Geir]

WOW !!! This is one major hit !!! Lestg's brilliant "canvas" has been painted in colors rich and beautiful!

Wonderful vox and great lyrics! Love this song!! Piepod for sure!

I'm a fan !!!
