Derrik Jordan: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

A wistful lyric about times gone by and how they can never be returned to except in fantasy. One of my favorite melodies from this CD. There is also an instrumental version on the CD with Eugene Uman on piano and Erik Lawrence on soprano sax.

Nostalgia

How I wish I could remember
All those times we spent together
But so many things I can’t recall
The great and small
Are lost inside of me

Years go by in such a hurry
Looking back, they seem so blurry
Then a moment comes, a song, a smell
And feelings gel
Into a memory

Of days when we were young and free
So sure of immortality
Never suspecting that time would come
When we’d feel some
Nostalgia

So old friend, thank you for calling
Guess my heart needs overhauling
Sharing stories from the past
When all our dreams were vast
It’s funny, but it means a lot to me
