Seven Years To The Day

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

The album wouldn’t be complete without a signature Gladstone topical tune like “Seven Years to the Day,” which employs hefty drums (Great Bob Scott), bass, and a very present and tasty electric guitar, and describes the account of Hurricane Isaac attacking New Orleans exactly seven years after Katrina wrought her disaster on the city.

lyrics

When Katrina broke the levees there was hell to pay
Another hurricane takes its shot, seven years to the day
If Katrina is the mother then Isaac is the son.
And the city of New Orleans is the unlucky one

It’s not hard to think the father’s sins
Are placed on the head of the son
When the storm surges cross the dams
And puts families on the run

It’s déjà vu one more time
Board the windows the storm is near.
Did the bridge hold cross the Ponchtrain?
It’s too far gone for fear

And there ain’t no one can tell me
It’s nothing but coincidence
In the City of Marie Laveau
No one’s living in the present tense

Fishing boats float on the Gulf
When the southern winds blow sweet.
Lazy days in Plaquemine.
Mardi Gras on Bourbon Street

Till once again the Gulf coast winds
Huff and puff to blow us down.
Flood us out, push us out.
We’re not movin’ to higher ground

Then the whirling winds pick another fight
Blow hard and wet and wild
Another hurricane coming ashore
Like an unruly child
We’ll get through it one more time
How? It’s hard to say
And I guess we can expect it back
In seven years to the day
