Lost in Love No More
‘Lost in Love No More’ is the first studio-produced album from the Southern Time Band. It also serves as the ‘overture’ album for the ‘Dreamer’ series, which Southern Time Productions will produce and release over the 2020s.
As any good ‘overture’ in classical music parlance connotes, it serves as a piece of music for the orchestra to play at the beginning of an opera or ballet. The word comes from the French word for “opening” because it “opens” the show. Overtures usually have tunes that the audience will hear during the opera or ballet, and ‘Lost in Love No More’ does not disappoint! The Dreamer series’ audience will listen to every song on this album at one time or another, at least, in part, during the series. Lost in Love No More also encapsulates the grand opera’s emotional arc in a relative nutshell ~ from destitution and despair to restitution and triumph!
Suffice to say, listening to the album according to its song order gives the listener its intended experience and message of the concept album.
The last song in the album’s order and heard in the above player and the video below is ‘When The Fire Dreams.’ It is the most ‘poppy-sounding’ song on the album, other than ‘Hey Charlie.’ T and Bryant wrote it together over the last year (2019 – 2020). It is included as a BONUS TRACK when you purchase the album as a whole.
LYRICS (When The Fire Dreams)
When the fire dreams
Nothing’s as it seems
There’s a spire that exceeds the highest peak
And when the bowman breaks
There’s too much at stake
Why the fire must always dream
The bushman drops
You know you’re flops
Catch-as-catch-can
You the big man
You the big man
‘Tough Adam
Move over Sally, we’re going for a rally!
When the fire dreams
Nothing’s as it seems
There’s a spire that exceeds the highest peak
And when the bowman breaks
There’s too much at stake
Why the fire must always dream
Heaven sent
And yet, hell bent
Burdened-some
But not so dumb
Keep the flare glowing
Don’t be boring
Got to keep that flame dreamin’
If we’re going ta keep da Spirit firin’!
When the fire dreams
Nothing’s as it seems
There’s a spire that exceeds the highest peak
And when the bowman breaks
There’s too much at stake
Why the fire must always dream
