about

'A Moment Too Soon' is a kooky Americana-noir rumba that swaggers and sways to a retro vibe that smacks it straight back to the 60’s. Quirky, honest and relatable; it’s a cautionary tale of regret. It speaks of that moment when things come unstuck. You said what you said, a moment too soon… [enter the apocalypse].

lyrics

I can see it in your eyes
We were summoning a song
But I misread the signs
And it all went wrong

My resolve has fallen
And shattered ‘bout the room
I said what I said
A moment too soon

Words are but shapes
That are chewed by the tooth
Messengers of love
And naked ugly truth

And what once is said
Can’t be unheard
What once is bled
May forever be spurned

The sun will rise
Like a pin to a balloon
I said what I said
A moment too soon

A silhouette of shades
Darker than before
Have entered the space
Between mine and yours

The mind does bend
Like the magic-man’s spoon
I said what I said
A moment too soon

The earth will turn
To the dark side of the moon
I said what I said
A moment too soon
I said what I said
A moment too soon
