This is one of my favorite tracks from you. It represents for me the life of millions of working class people that face the mundane and never changing, constant flow of life that they are bound under. How it drags on, stretching for years, sometimes even lifetimes. And that for one to change, one must do the unthinkable. The unimaginable. Break free from that routine. To see the world in a different light, to go out there and make a mark for yourself. The world is not in your books or papers. It is out there, in the big wide world. Home is behind us, the world is ahead. So thank you Marcus for showing me this light. I watch this video everyday to remind myself what I must do, and that every second is precious, what you do with your life. To be either be proud of where you have come in 10 years, or be forgotten in the silence of the night.
" *Tell me though, young one...* " "What is it?" "Do you understand time?" "...what kind of a question is that?" "A question of much importance, my dear." "Of course I know what time is!" *silence* "Ah... but do you really?" *He sighs and leans towards me.* "I ask you this, young one, for a reason. You, who still have... so much time." "What do you mean?" *He sighs again, trying to find the right words.* "Time is the force that drives everything. From the light of the stars to the whisper of the wind. It is everywhere around us, hidden from our eyes yet clearly visible, setting great plans in motion and tearing them apart, giving life to the soul and taking it away. Yet we can easily forget of its presence." *I stared at him, confused.* "I... don't think I understand." "Oh... I know you don't. And neither did I... until I had no choice." *He leans back again in his chair, looking at me.* "I remember being in your place. A careless young soul, pure and whole, still unharmed by this universe we live in. Eager for adventure, to see and feel all that there is to experience. Fearless, energetic, free..." *His eyes close.* "How wonderful was this illusion. So powerful, so real... I felt as if I had the whole world in the palm of my hand. I was unstoppable. Unchained. Untamable. And this universe was all mine to conquer, ready to welcome me with open arms, its new ruler and savior..." *He signs yet again.* "I still don't understand." *He stares at me, his expression indecipherable.* "Worry not yourself with the blubbering of an old man, dear. There are greater things that require your attention. A whole lifetime of them, in fact." "But you said-" "What I said matters not. But hear me out, as what follows does." *He leans towards me once more.* "We can be many things, young one. We, the children of this very universe, were given the most precious of gifts: the gift of freedom. The freedom to choose the path in which we walk and to shape the future it leads us to. From the greatest of rulers to the simplest of peons, inside us all is the same soul, unbound from all binds. And unbound we are indeed, for there is nothing that is out of our reach." *He pauses, and suddenly great sadness fills his face.* "But time has other plans for us. In its eyes, we are no rulers nor peons. We are but another insignificant shard of existence, temporary and fragile. And just as man squashes a bug under his foot without noticing, so can time, even unknowingly, shatter us. One sweeping move... one flick of the wrist... and all that you are is no more." *silence* "What... what should I do, then?" *He does not answer at first and just continues to look at me with the same great sadness.* "Master?" *He remains silent.* "Grandpa? Answer me!" *Finally, he sighs yet again.* "Do not follow in my steps, dear. I was foolish to not use this gift I was given. But you, on the other hand... have so much time." *He looks directly into my eyes.* "And this is what I ask of you, my beloved dear. The hands of the clock will never cease to move, and neither must you. Waste not a minute, for it will not return, and time will come for you as well, whether you are prepared or not. Blaze your trail and conquer your future. Let your spirit soar like a bird, far into the skies and beyond them, reaching all that there is to reach. Take hold of it all, as it is yours by right." *He smiles.* "And always remember... ...it is all *A Matter of Time* ."
I've been caught in a loop in life lately. Just the daily grind, doing what's necessary to get by each day, saving what I can for what little amount of days I can enjoy off. Instead of drowning myself in depression or apathy, I found my way back to this song and have been listening to it everyday before I clock in for work and after I am finished to remind that it's only just a matter of time. It's not all just meaningless. "Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."
I really liked the song, and the message. We are so busy with ourselves these days, that we've lost track of whats important. That's atleast what I got from it. Thanks =D
When you realized that all of your expectations and criticals about the new song you were about to clicked on suddenly vanished because of this was made by Marcus Warner *always beautiful and glorius* .
This guy has a good job for his living, but he is not happy, he feels empty inside, he is lost in the crowd, he feels he is different and he does not understand why. until he realizes that some one has handed him a key, he realizes his destiny and sets his journey and reaches his goal. there on the mountains he finds himself full and filled with himself. we all wonder a lot until we find who we are and what we are and ones we know our destiny, we have to reach there. and that should be done in time. because it is all a matter of time. if the time is gone, the clock would stop ticking and so is your heart. So hurry. Every one is born for a reason. ones you know the reason you must not waste even a single moment of your life. thank you for the wonderful message
This is amazing. I don't know why but I really loved it. It's like all the time passing was not really moving or in motion. Only at the end, it felt like it's real alive and moving.
I just watched Dunkirk again yesterday, so the ticking clock theme here made me think of the overture theme for that movie. Both are similar in that they give off the sense of time elapsing, with Dunkirk feeling tense with the feeling of running out of time while this felt like being mindful of time and it’s finiteness. Excellent work in capturing that in your work, it is up there with Dunkirk in amazing quality! Keep up the great work, mate!
I don't know the meaning you were aiming for, but for me, it was "time is running out", i needed this right now, and thus i shell move my ass from youtube back to math land, thanks!
Maybe few understand it, but I can say that it is the most beautiful thing I've heard ... And sincerely you should be recognized in the whole world, your music reaches my soul
....hot damn. That... was, *is* sensational. I've been listening to your stuff ever since Evening Star, and each time I'm blown away. Personally, I found that at the start the ticking/strings was a bit too intense, but then like, the rest of the song made me think otherwise. Amazing. I love this. Thank you. /)
This is exquisite my friend. Your music feels like an emptiness mixed with such a powerfull will to change it, and I believe this shows his beginnings, how he starts to break his own loop.
Mysterian I accually do doubt that. It's not like hanz Zimmer will lose fame over time and since Marcus isn't as heavily involved in film scoring (don't get me wrong, I love the fact that he isn't) he will most likely never become as popular.
Mysterian My personal hero is Still The Man, the Myth, The Legend..Thomas Bergersen....but Marcus is second....Zimmer is Good but yeah he is a bit overrated, Maybe its because I prefere Thomas Style more.
Thomas is certainly very good but I think marcus 's music is more complex and he has a wider skillset. Thomas doesnt seem to include much variation in his music so for me Thomas comes second.
I absolutely love music that tells a story - and you did an unbelievable job not just with your composition, but the cinematography...breathtaking. I've been listening to your music since the days of Evening Star, and this is such a testament to how much you've improved over the years. Keep up the amazing work, you're making the world a little better with every release!
Oh man, this is both a sceptical piece of our modern society, as it is a philosphical one. The moment he got out of his car, he lived. Everything before that feels like machinery. Its only a matter of time until you break free
Listening to this again and I realize that just after 3:35 (really well through to 3:50) there's a brief bit that sounds nearly identical to the recognizable lines of Inception!! Well done! I'm again blown away by your mastery of capturing a feeling and It's clear to whom you get a lot of inspiration from ;) I look forward to hearing more from future releases by you!

Very moving, thanks for writing
So so beautiful
Beautiful!
Beautiful
Reading this fit perfectly with the song in the background
I felt the Hans-Zimmerness of it very clearly, well done Marcus.
I've been caught in a loop in life lately. Just the daily grind, doing what's necessary to get by each day, saving what I can for what little amount of days I can enjoy off. Instead of drowning myself in depression or apathy, I found my way back to this song and have been listening to it everyday before I clock in for work and after I am finished to remind that it's only just a matter of time.

"Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."
Where was this music all my life? Brilliant piece. Hans Zimmer would be proud
This is *incredible*. Recently saw Zimmer Vs Williams at Symphony Hall, people well deserving of tributes as great as this.
I really liked the song, and the message. We are so busy with ourselves these days, that we've lost track of whats important. That's atleast what I got from it. Thanks =D
It was. Worth. The wait.
Amazing job once again, Marcus!
Everytime I watch this video, I find different different perception and details. Truly amazing
When you realized that all of your expectations and criticals about the new song you were about to clicked on suddenly vanished because of this was made by Marcus Warner *always beautiful and glorius* .
5 Years and this is still one of my favorite songs.
I just have to come back here one or two times a month. It is unbelievably good...
This is actually incredibly cinematic. I would totally watch a full two hour movie of this
Here before millions!
NIL STARLIGHT Comments Me too !!!
Same, still
4 years later, and this music is still fantastic. Yeah.
I can truly feels the intense of time, and really feels the changes that you going to make or what comes to you, is just the matter of time
Beautiful. Just Beautiful.
You deserve the world Marcus, really!
My goodness this was beautiful. Th cinematography, the song itself, its mood and its emotion, what a beautiful presentation!
I've to tell you. I'm from Brazil, I'm 19 and I'm completely in love for your job. Thanks for doing what you do. ❣👏
Yes... Brilliant as always! A big gulp of life energy and the sense of being
You are Going to be one of the Giants, I know it, one day you are going to be a Giant on whose shoulders the new generation will stand on.
This guy has a good job for his living, but he is not happy, he feels empty inside, he is lost in the crowd, he feels he is different and he does not understand why.
until he realizes that some one has handed him a key, he realizes his destiny and sets his journey and reaches his goal.
there on the mountains he finds himself full and filled with himself.
we all wonder a lot until we find who we are and what we are and ones we know our destiny, we have to reach there.
and that should be done in time. because it is all a matter of time. if the time is gone, the clock would stop ticking and so is your heart. So hurry.
Every one is born for a reason. ones you know the reason you must not waste even a single moment of your life.
thank you for the wonderful message
beautifully described
This is amazing. I don't know why but I really loved it. It's like all the time passing was not really moving or in motion. Only at the end, it felt like it's real alive and moving.
I was very much driven by this. It was like I was living that moment. I didn't want it to finish.
This video deserves more views......
I just Just love this....

DarthMerlin lol, what ever floats your boat mate.

Maybe few understand it, but I can say that it is the most beautiful thing I've heard ... And sincerely you should be recognized in the whole world, your music reaches my soul

duuuuude
holy mother of music! dis amazing.
I like it, very intense, amazing places, thumbs up!!!!
Those final moments really gave me some goose bumps, something I haven't felt from music in a very long time. Incredible work, Marcus.
Musical phenomenon is the lad.
Great job. I was waiting for the epic finale. Nature is very majestic.
Well directed! Awesome colors and scenes!
This is exquisite my friend. Your music feels like an emptiness mixed with such a powerfull will to change it, and I believe this shows his beginnings, how he starts to break his own loop.
Beautifully shot and the music so moving. Lovely work! Thank you!
just amazing, i got what i expected, really deserving
Discovered your music a few years ago while searching UA-cam for "background" music for work. I quickly became a fan. Inspirational, as always.
i really love and appreciate all of your music and videos Marcus, thanks for the awesome music friend
Another masterpiece! The music and the video is superb. Keep it up. I am waiting for more !!!!
Really awesome music, really stunning video. The goosebumps are proof of that.
Stunning!
This is really a big one...! Respect...
Hans Zimmer, ofcourse!
Surpass him one day, Marcus!
It is just... A Matter of Time.
Nah he did that long ago, Hanz Zimmer is overrated
DokuganRyu28 In terms of music quality yes. However in terms of fame, is yet to be surpassed. One day no doubt.
Mysterian I accually do doubt that. It's not like hanz Zimmer will lose fame over time and since Marcus isn't as heavily involved in film scoring (don't get me wrong, I love the fact that he isn't) he will most likely never become as popular.

Keep up the amazing work, you're making the world a little better with every release!
Yo, /) my dude.
And yeah, gotta agree on all points.
Awesome!
This is awesomeeee
Beautiful love how it builds up the emotion the visuals the symbology (=

All the shots you got for this video are just amazing!! Great work and I love the music!
Amazing production!
Без комментариев 👍... Просто слушать и смотреть, и еще раз задуматься о нашей жизни....
Oh man,
this is both a sceptical piece of our modern society, as it is a philosphical one.
The moment he got out of his car, he lived.
Everything before that feels like machinery.
Its only a matter of time until you break free
Incredible, thanks for your masterpiece
Stunning
Masterpiece :)

Incredible work! Thank you for sharing your light and making the world a better place :)
