Early James - What A Strange Time To Be Alive (2022)

November 12th, 2025-Music Video Of The Day

These summer days have slipped and I feel slighted
Sweet malaise, boy, better break
Fall fell so fast, it was a hellscape haircut
Despite the color change, no, there was no change at all

So I guess the hours past
Nurse this hourglass
Oh, what a strange time to be alive

No boundaries left to cross in this godforsaken snow globe
We carry on until we carry on
Spring us from the grave when it all starts blooming
Flock can’t come home again
Not sure if it’s fast or slow

That light in the tunnel
Just to see it feels strange
That light in the tunnel
Just might be a train

Oh, Lordy, what a strange time to be alive
Lordy, what a strange time to be alive
Lordy, what a strange time
Just to want to be alive
