    LYRICS
    I woke up with you in my head
    Like a melody to sing in bed
    I should get up but I instead
    Make a face you used to make
    I know there’s no such thing as time
    I know there’s no such thing as mine
    I know there’s no such thing as turning back
    The fairy tale’s begun
    So listen up, my son
    The pages may have burned
    But words can just return
    All of time spans
    All of space spans
    All of light spans
    All our life spans
    My mind is full of melodies
    They search for homes inside of me
    Like begging, pleading refugees
    But I can’t find the time
    I know there’s no such thing as time
    I know there’s no such thing as mine
    I try to calm and still the rising tide
    Keep listening, my son
    Cause the story just goes on
    Each time a theory proves
    The mystery just moves
    Time moves slower
    Round your feet
    Find slow time
    Breathe and feel the beat of
    Time moves slower
    Round your feet
    Find slow time
    Breathe and feel the beat of
    Time...
    This world began outside of time
    Some days its yours, some days it’s mine
    Some days it’s cruel, some days it’s kind
    It just can’t stay the same
    I know there’s no such thing as time
    I know there’s no such thing as mine
    I try to sing a melody your way
    The story must go on
    So keep listening, my son
    And if you get too tired
    Just build a little fire
    The pages they may burn
    But words can just return
    Pages burn but words return
    Just watch the flames and you will learn
    Pages burn but words return
    Just watch the flames and you will learn
    You will learn
    You will learn
    You will learn
    You... will... learn...

    Some part of inspiration for this was a friend of Regina, who is physicist, who said that physicists turn to philosophy when they reach an end (or a dead end). (Not verbatim). This I believe is found in the line "Each time a theory proves, the mystery just moves". Regina said this in an interview and I just wanted to share.

    Listening to this in the car last night, I was getting tailgated on the highway by someone with their brights on (which always freaks me out). After they continued to tailgate me around an exit to a different highway and multiple lane changes, I shouted "Stop following me!" and in that exact moment the "You will learn" section kicked in, and I was like, "What the hell Regina? How did you know?"

    Woah, I saw her on Broadway almost exactly 3 years ago to the day (June 20, 2019) and she actually performed this song at the show!
    I know that it's not uncommon for artists to perform unreleased songs at their concerts, but I thought it was a great performance. I've thought about the song a couple times since then, it's cool to see it released.

    • @davidbjacobs3598

      Same here! (Not sure if I was there that day or a different day.) I remember her saying it was a new song she'd just written, and the performance was powerful and moving. I've been waiting since then to be able to hear it again, and so happy to finally have it on an album.
      Excited to see her again next month.

      I think those lines are one of the few times Regina's actual personality goes into the piece, otherwise she never does it from her perspective it seems, it's always another character being released. Most of her songs have either a line that's just her as she realizes one or a vocal moment that's just her playing and expanding her freedom in song.

    Such a fabulous, ruminative, thoughtful and wonderfully long song. "The pages may have burned, but words can just return" hearkens back to Bulgakov's "Master and Margarita", a provocative philosophical romp that has a sci-fi edge to it. I love the orchestral elements and the tone shifts and changes. It's a mix of riding in an old Soyuz capsule, ending up in on the holodeck of the Enterprise for a jazz and tapdance number, and then somehow finding yourself standing on an oceanside pier asking someone where you are, and they say, "well, Yalta..." And you have to get money from Rimsky to get back to the Variety Theater...

    I fell out of touch with RS's music after Far, still listen to everything up to then an awful lot and love playing along to it. My grandad, who I introduced to her music (and has impeccable taste in music, no matter how 'modern'), told me she had a cracking tune out years ago that I never followed up on, and hearing this I know I've been remiss! Getting Joe Hisaishi vibes in parts, as well as that wonderful 'dangerous, evil' vibe that she occasionally springs on you (6:55). It reminded me of Galadriel's ring temptation scene in LOTR: "Instead of a Dark Lord, you would have a queen, not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Tempestuous as the sea, and stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love me and despair!" Not gonna lie, I would quickly bend the knee if Regina (heh, funny coincidence in name) gained absolute power through some dark magic.
