If Yesterday Was Tomorrow

New song alert!Served up with a heaping helping of formalist irony, this work is probably a victim of -- uh, excuse me -- inspired by -- the zeitgeist, in the form of an overheard movie review.

This song (below and in the vid above) may test your patience for vague mysticism, veiled romanticism, and even vaguer references to late second millennium solipsistic philosophies.

Then again, you may think it's deep, profound, and oddly moving... in which case, I've got a couple of screening passes for you to this new movie you've probably heard about...


lyrics
If Yesterday Was Tomorrow

If yesterday was tomorrow
I'd still be here today
As joy is born from sorrow
And night is bride to day

If the world and stars
were in my soul
and time was in this tear
I'd still have wandered all this far
I'd still be standing here

If love was not the only thing
that never had to die
still I'd spend my next life remembering
but never knowing why

If today was all there'd ever be
and tomorrow never came
I'd stay right here, I'd never leave
I'd do it all the same

If the world and stars
were in my soul
and time was in this tear
I'd still have wandered all this far
I'd still be standing here...
