about

This is my “I didn’t get a folk award nomination again and it nearly destroyed me” song.

But it’s not a lament, it’s a song of realisation. It represents the moment that I realised that by chasing awards, and by feeling like all was lost when they didn’t materialise, that I’d completely missed the point of music! Life is far, far too short to chase goals without enjoying the journey.

That moment of realisation was a defined moment in time, sitting in Bude Folk Festival, surrounded by singers of songs and champions of the tradition. Those people - the audiences, the folk clubs, the singers of songs, the folk community - they are the beating heart of folk.

lyrics

Let it be what it is for the grieving is more than the time that you have, and coming is more for the leaving. It is more to have love than to have. Whatever may be make it welcome, whatever may go let it pass. For time it is precious, and seldom will your time be well spent on the past.

It’s all in a day my dear. For time it is all that I shall fear. When the world has left you cold, take time, be bold.

It’s all in a day my friend, for tomorrow is yesterday’s end. When all you have worked for it is gone. Take time, be strong.

So let it be what it is for the grieving is more than the time that you have, and coming is more for the leaving. It is more to have love than to have. Whatever may be make it welcome, whatever may go let it pass. For time it is precious, and seldom will your time be well spent on the past.
