New song/sci-fi world concept? Coming Friday...

I had an idea a few weeks ago that just popped into my head, a whole story, fully formed.

“What if we could stop time, but then live our lives inside that instant of stopped time?”

Imagine a world where people could chose to leave the regular flow of time, and live their whole lives in just a split second. It would have huge advantages, but also some scary consequences.

Sickened could never form, if time was stopped. Cancer could not grow. 

Nobody would age. Nobody would die.

But you couldn’t garden, as no flower would grow. Couldn’t have children, as no child would show...

Also, you’d want to choose the perfect time in your life to be frozen in time. I’d assume sometime between 18 and 30, when your body is most perfect...

...but that would mean giving up people in your life. Imagine if your mother was sick. She’d want to wait tell she got better. But all while waiting, you’d be getting older...

Is this a metaphor for people who devote too much time to not trying not too look like they are aging? Or people would are stuck in one phase of their life, and scared to progress, because they don't know whats coming? The Highschool jock, or cheerleader, now 57, who's day dreams are who they was in Highschool?

Anyway, yes, I did write a record this song. I’ll release it to you Friday, after just a touch more polishing. I hope you enjoy it!

"Iife In An Instant"

In the far future

In the blink of an eye

We learned how to stop time

So nobody would die

 

We could live in this instant

we’d be protected from time

sheltered from the future

it would be so sublime


Nobody would age

No cancer could grow

No baby could be born

As no woman would show


The weather would hang

frozen tears in the sky,

An nobody would get old,

And nobody would die. 


(Chorus)

it would be life in an instant

We would never grow old

We would always be pretty

Our lives will never unfold
