I first heard this a few months ago and it had been a regular listen ever since. It was made in the heart of lockdown and definitely has those vibes. I find its mix of sadness and hope irresistible.
Written by Michael Stipe and Aaron Dessner, produced by Aaron Dessner, with Orchestration by Bryce Dessner, and lyrics by Michael Stipe. NO TIME FOR LOVE LIKE NOW LYRICS
no time for breezy
no time for arguments
no time for love like now
there’s no time in the bardo
no time in the in-between #
no time for love like now
there’s no time for dancing
no time for undecideds
no time for love like now
where did this all begin to change
the lockdown memories can’t sustain
this glistening, hanging free fall
i turned away from the glorious light
i turned my head and cried
whatever waiting means in this new place
i am waiting for you
there’s no time for honey
no time for psalms and thresholds
whisper a sweet prayer sigh
where did this all begin to change
the lockdown memories can’t sustain
this glistening hanging free fall
i turned away from the glorious light
i turned my head and cried
whatever waiting means in this new place
i am waiting for you
your voice is echoing
love love love love love
i hear it far far away
and i am here waiting for you
i am waiting for you
whatever waiting means in this new place
i am waiting for you
i am waiting for you
