about

Pensive lyrics lead up-tempo acoustic guitar and percussion through the realisation that our mortality can be the most powerful way of guiding how we live. Living for the important things wins over being distracted by the material or what we are told to live for: smiles not salaries; memories not money; loved ones not Lamborghinis.

lyrics

How many days before I die?
Maybe a thousand but that butterfly has five.
It's not a question of the number of days
Only how you choose to play em.
I'll take them all but take my salary in smiles
As long as I'm alive.

Will I be happy when I grow old?
Will I have memories or just what I've been sold?
It's not the zeros that your company is worth
You'd better make some more to love.
I'll leave your money and your vanity aside
As long as I'm alive.

I’m not saying today’s my last
I’m just seeing time fly past.
Tell your loved ones before sand runs dry
Hold me closer and feel alive.

How will my own little story end?
Will I leave a Lamborghini, a Bentley or a Benz?
I don't need to see my name in lights
As long as I can see you smile.
I'll live my life with only love on my mind
As long as I'm alive.
As long as you're alive.
As long as we're alive.
As long as I'm alive.
