In The Moment

from Hourglass by Howard Gladstone

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Howard Gladstone's 2017 Release, Hourglass, on Compact Disc.

    Howard Gladstone on vocals and acoustic guitar is joined by Laura Fernandez on vocals, Tony Quarrington on guitar, George Koller on bass, and Great Bob Scott on drums (4 tracks). The album was recorded in high resolution audio to ensure studio quality sound is available to the listener.

    Focused intently on crafting powerful lyrics, and aiming to find their perfect union with melody, arrangement and musical accompaniment, Gladstone created songs that reflect a quiet despair, but are matched by hope-driven optimism. An early reviews states” Hourglass flows with flourishes of insight and romantic imagery” *

    Gladstone is no stranger to these ideas, since experiencing a sudden onset of spinal stenosis in 2014 that resulted in debilitating spinal surgery. At first he was totally paralyzed and completely immobile. It was a very gradual recovery, but after three years, he emerged with a greater passion, a higher level of commitment and inspiration, and a deeper understanding of the healing power of art and music.


    “You may be shattered like the hourglass,
    Grains of sand on dying grass,
    Winds rage and howl at your battered soul,
    Deep inside something keeps you whole"

about

More vocal charm is added in both “In The Moment,” with a sweet “la-la-la” harmony vocal refrain in the chorus that does not undercut a deadly serious theme on the impossibility of defeating the passing of time, where “eternity passes, we just have to go along.”

lyrics

Some people see the future
Some live in the past
I’m trying to stay in the moment
Where every second lasts
Memories and prophecies
Of emptiness I had my fill
I played my hand
I made my move
Now I’m standing still

In the moment I’m with you
In the moment I’m gone
I’m the moment eternity passes
We just have to go along

Darling, I want to stay here
But something’s pulling me
The river of time yanking at the chains
Carrying a basket to the sea
I tried to repair the world
Rebuilding in the name
The river’s strong
I’m rowing home
With what freedom is attained

I’m trying to stay in the music
Where every whole note lasts
I feel the beat, the tempo rises
I’m too slow, or it’s too fast
The song is bright, and it’s fading
The silence – a cry of pain
I did my best
I laid it down
Can we start it again?
